The difference is drilling a 1/4 inch hole compared to a 3/4" hole through a 12" brick wall.. big building.. I talked with them tonight though and we're going to just use 5442's and boxes if needed.. thought about trying to wrap the cord up in the empty spaces of the camera base as well. We'll...

It's a fairly nice public location so I'm going to be taking slack if it looks to dorky :) but it's just really hard to beat the performance/cost of a 5442. Was always thinking a non-corded model would be sweet and of course when I came across one it's proprietary and $$. Just checking in with...

I actually have one of those in an office. The domes have always given me too many reflection issues or the picture seems clearer in a bullet or turret.. I'm thinking I'm just going to offer this client Andy's 5442's or 2431's with a junction box and see if they think that will suffice. This...

They're quite expensive and I was thinking you have to hook them up to the unifi dvr since they're proprietary, and then use rtsp or something to make them work with blue iris? I'm used to the dahua/hik price range that are plug and play with blue iris lol unless I read that info wrong on the...

Good Day All, Are there any good cameras for blue iris that hook up the way Unifi G4 cameras do internally? I've mainly only used Dahua/Hik cams for Blue iris. Love the cameras, but I need some low profile cameras running through brick, so don't want to have ugly boxes that the cameras are...

Yeah PTZ is enabled in BI. Zoom works fine, but the focus buttons don't change anything.. Minor annoyance since I won't often change my zoom.. assuming the focus holds fine... Don't see any sort of reginal focus settings in Dahua's settings.. all in all seems to be a decent zoom camera for the...

I got the Loryta one of Amazon but here's the 5241-Z12E fully zoomed on a house 2000ft away at sunrise, so it should work great for my needs later on at 700ft. My only complaint with this camera so far is when fully zoomed, auto focus is garbage. Had to switch to manual.. Could be because of the...

I think I'm going to go with a 5241-Z12E. Those DORI numbers do seem to give it the best hope although the pixel count is low... I do have PTP bridges, a solar panel, and semi batteries laying around, but IDK I feel like all that hassle for this since there won't be power for awhile. Maybe some...

I guess by varifocal I meant zoom. Never been a big fan of cameras with the pan and tilt options since they're generally massive and like to wonder during power outages. I'll look into that guy though for starters. Thanks!

I'm one of those cheap Dahua/Hikvision camera kinda guys. Have over 40 running on BI5.. I'm hoping to put up a house about 700ft from our shop. Curious on any recommendations for a decent but cheap varifocal camera that could keep an eye on construction from about 700ft. I'd prefer a varifocal...

Hello, for some reason, since a recent update, my disabled cameras are showing up in the android app. I went into the app settings and set it to not show disabled cameras. That worked for the main camera list but if I go into a camera group, those disabled cameras are still there. (mainly...

Alrighty, I'll play with that, appreciate it. I guess I'm noticing something that's making this a little trickier in my scenario, is I have a handful of cameras that are inverted. Makes things a little wonky when doing the "scale to fill" but I still think I like that better than standard so...

So if I do as you say, I can disable the "camera names" but my cameras stay the same size. There's still a big void between all my cameras where the names were. Is there a way to get my cameras to fill the screen better, like they did before this ui3 update? I tried downgrading to an older...

Ironically this is the first update I did that failed and froze BI on the first attempt.. maybe that's a bad omen but I'm sure I'll still always install the latest and greatest lol. Second attempt went smooth. I check BI enough I always just update when I open the GUI.

Excellent, Thanks for the clarity. Must be something I've never paid attention to till BI5.
