    My 9+ Year Journey For Accurate CCTV Alerts

    Nine years ago, I hired a security installer from Yelp who recommended 14 basic 4MP cameras from ENS Security (IP-5IR4002VFZ-W) and two PTZ cameras (IP-5PT96E2IR20X) for my home. The system was simple, lacking “smart” features, and its motion detection was unreliable, constantly triggered by...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Encode Mode Auto Resetting

    I have them connected to both Blue Iris & Unifi Protect in addition to the Dahua NVR5432-16P-I. I dont see any options to change the encode mode settings in either of those platforms. And Im using FireFox on both Mac & Windows. Will give it a try with Chrome right now just to see if that...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Encode Mode Auto Resetting

    I have a strange problem where I set the Encode Mode to H264 on the IPC-T5442TM-AS cams and then 5 minutes later it automatically changes back to H265. Strange this is this happens on multiple cameras. No matter how many times I set H264, a few minutes later it automatically changes to H265. Any...

    Network Debug Basics

    Wow thanks for that tip didn’t even consider rolling back BI to see if that’s the issue. Is there a certain release that you’re finding to be more stable than the latest? Just trying to avoid trying 15 different versions if there is a known good one.

    Network Debug Basics

    Lately, I've been having some problems with my live cam feeds lagging when being viewed remotely, and I'm a bit perplexed about how to even identify the source of the lag so that I can repair or replace whatever the issue may be. I'm running 16 hardwired cams with the latest Blue Iris 5 with...

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using? Maybe the NVR app I was using is outdated and I need to try something new.

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    I've been running both a Dahua WizMind NVR & Blue Iris for the past 5+ years and I've spent an estimated 200+ hours tinkering with Blue Iris over that time and have upgraded both my cameras and NVR and of course stayed on top of Blue Iris changes. For me, the #1 thing I wanted when I installed...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Your experience is abnormal, likely due to a configuration error on your side. Ubiquity has probably 10+ million active customers (Okay I made that up) who have been using them daily in both a residential to enterprise setup for years without any major issues. I have most of their products and...

    Dahua AcuPick

    This is soo sad but honestly true. Ugh. My guess is that you are correct. How useful is it to track the wife or kids around various cameras in the house? I guess it would be cool to track guests or strangers around, but as you said, in a home environment with limited cams its probably a...

    Dahua AcuPick

    Does anyone have an AcuPick enabled NVR & Camera that can provide some unbiased feedback on just how useful this AI feature actually is and if they feel it was worth the upgrade? Specifically I am wondering how well the accuracy is and if it requires face-level cameras to accurately work or...

    3D Positioning in Blue Iris

    Is anyone else having problems with the 3D Positioning feature in Blue Iris? Any recommended troubleshooting steps to try? I have the SD5A425XA-HNR from Andy @ EmpireTech and everything works great, when I am using the NVR I can drag a red box around the POI and it will center in on that box...
