    False alerts from Dogs/Cats on 3 series cameras (3666 3649/S3/S4/Pro)

    I had that on 5442 S3 series until I calibrated in IVS Global Configuration. Smooth sailing since then.

    Dahua DH-P5B-PV / P5B-PV / Picoo B1 requires an online account? no web interface?

    According to Dahua docs, Picoo series is managed via DMSS only. No web interface.

    Darkfighter PTZ (DS-2DE7A825IW-AEB(T5)

    Dahua cameras? None, and it probably never will. Other camera manufacturers, yes, chances that Sony is making sensors just for shit and giggles is rather small. My comparison between the two sensors was just to show the difference between sensor generations and not to make some absolute claims...

    Darkfighter PTZ (DS-2DE7A825IW-AEB(T5)

    There is no 8MP sensor that is made for 4MP (unless there would be some pixel binning in place, usually 4 to 1 though). 8MP sensors are designed to be 8MP regardless of sensor/pixel size. Granted, smaller pixels mean lesser low light performance, but that's only true for sensors that use same...

    Sub Stream Dropping out on less than a year old T54IR-ZE-S3

    16384 kbps is overkill. You would have to use tool like VMAF or similar to see any difference between 4MP 15fps 8192kbps and 4MP 15fps 16384kbps. In blind testing, average human wouldn't know which is which. HikVision recommends 4096 at 4MP and 15fps, with 20-30% increase for complex scenes you...

    Can anyone recognise this camera?

    All CamHi lineup camera's hardware/firmware is made by Shenzhen Enster Electronics Co. Their firmware (mostly the same for all their hardware combos), in general, doesn't support shutter adjustments, unless the firmware is fairly recent (2024 or so), and even then, only on select hardware. Yours...

    Question about locking a drive

    Home version has Device Encryption (simplified BitLocker) available if your machine meets certain requirements. It is also all or nothing sort of thing. To do what you want, you'll need BitLocker, which is not available on Home editions of Windows. You could use other alternatives though, like...

    Suggestions for indoor wifi cameras with Blue Iris for occasional use when traveling

    In case of IP2M-841 vs IP4M-1041 doesn't matter. 1041 has newer sensor with higher light sensitivity and captures about same amount of light, even though it has smaller pixels (0.08 lux vs 0.1 on 841). It has benefit of better picture detail due to higher resolution. Signal to noise is worse...

    Linux Software Needed to Repeat RTSP

    Agent DVR (iSpy) is available for Linux. Docker too if that's what you prefer. It'll do exactly that and it's free for personal and local use. Once installed you only need web browser to manage and view. Frigate is another, but it's more difficult to install and heavier on CPU usage. I'm sure...
