    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    When I see these systems, I always remember this: War declared on world's growing e-waste crisis and so far it's not part of any TCO calculation. All computers can and should be produced to be upgradable.

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    That's true but these kind of proprietary systems can't be upgraded for future use and produce waste for no reason. Dell could easily produce these systems following microATX or mini-ITX standard. For OS, you can still reuse your Windows 7 or 8 license: You Can Still Get Windows 10 for Free With...

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    Don't support non-standard computer parts with your money. I own ATX tower cases older than 15 years. I've bought them second hand. They've seen many processor generations and mainboards and are still in good shape, ready for 11th Intel generation or AMD Zen 3. Building your own computer from...

    Video stopped working

    Maybe a too complex password, compare settings: Network --> Access Platform -> ONVIF -> Authentification = "On" System --> Account -> Onvif User --> check user & pass System --> Safety -> System Service -> ONVIF = "Enable"

    Recommendations for IR-triggered POE trail cameras?

    BI is easy to use, comes with great UI3 web gui but like every VMS it has tons of options, so studying manual and this forum is a must. Your HP server is too weak to run it, maybe two cameras but it's not future-proof for more. The VMS itself can't do AI based motion detection and all cameras...

    Recommendations for IR-triggered POE trail cameras?

    You don't need a PIR sensor, you need a VMS like Blue Iris to record 24/7 (to catch everything and/or to combine motion detection of cameras and VMS to catch most, also allows to combine alerting e.g. motion on cam A also triggers recording on cam B) and you need better cams like Dahua's 5442...

    HFW3441T-ZS alternative / upgrade advise

    7442 has a bigger sensor and can do 50/60 fps: Review - Dahua IPC-HFW7442H-Z 4MP Ultra AI Varifocal Bullet Camera but I would wait a bit until more products with even bigger 1/1.2" sensor show up: DS-2CD2087G2-L(U)

    Change BI Web Grid Layout?

    You'll not get the same view in UI3, maybe @bp2008 (developer of UI3) can change this someday. About frame size, BI manual says: "By default, the group will be viewable via remote browser or app and its cameras will be arranged to fit into a rectangle roughly sizing each camera in half. You may...

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    There is DS-2CD2H86G2-IZS but no Dahua, right.

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    1/2.8" and 8MP will never be "Starlight", it's more for daylight. ;)

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    No spec sheet but must be a OEM IPC-HDW3841T-ZAS, because of: 3840 × 2160 @(1–20 fps by default) 3840 × 2160 @(1–25/30 fps when AI function disabled) Upgrade for 5231 is 5442.
