I've been running Blue Iris since 2016, and currently have 7 no-name cameras covering my home interior and exterior running on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU with 6GB of RAM. I use the indoor cameras for pet/pet-sitter monitoring and the exterior ones for identification in case of trespassers...

Looking forward to any new info. It seems like a good camera

Thanks, everyone. Based on the review that @EMPIRETECANDY linked to and other bits of info online, it doesn't look like these cameras have onboard dewarping function or the ability to send separate dewarped streams to BI. It appears that BI can provide a dewarped panoramic view during playback...

Thanks @sebastiantombs. I will likely buy from Andy, but need to first understand whether the camera is likely to meet my needs. Can you provide any info on the streams that the camera can provide and how BI handles the video? That's what I'm trying to find out but I've not been able to find any...

Thanks. That looks like an unbranded Dahua N55CT5. Can you tell me a bit about how Blue Iris handles it? Does it provide dewarped streams or a PTZ emulated mode that BI recognizes? Is Blue Iris still limited to dwarping only the recorded footage or can it dewarp the live video as well? How well...

Can anyone help with info on PoE fisheye cameras for use with Blue Iris 5? I'm trying to achieve maximum coverage of the interior and perimeter of a small (1,000 sqft) house on a 12,000 sqft lot. I'm hoping to keep the cost below $1-2k total for 2 interior and 2 exterior cameras, if possible. I...

Can you share with the group how you fixed it?

Great info, thanks @crw030 !

All the recommendations I've seen say that for best results, get an i5 or i7 CPU with QuickSync. I have a surplus i3-3220 @3.30GHz with Quicksync. Would it be worth trying to use this for 8-10 cameras in Blue Iris?

The machine came with Win7, but I was able to upgrade it for free to win10 pro on the microsoft website. I'm batting 100 so far on this deal :)

Has anyone had any luck building (or purchasing at a reasonable price) a PoE camera that can remain submerged in shallow water and would be small enough to be relatively unobtrusive in a 75 gallon freshwater aquarium? I want a "fishcam" and feel like it would look best if it were actually in...

Is there any difference between Win7 and Win10 in terms of performance when it comes to running Blue Iris?

Cool! Sounds like I did get lucky

Turns out the PC i got has WiFi, so I'm just gonna connect it to the LAN over that and use the built-in NIC for the camera network. That should keep it super simple and I don't even have to find a second ethernet card! It's a Dell Vostro 470 with i7-3770 @3.40GHz and 8GB RAM

Do the Dahua Starlight turrets not have a problem with spiderwebs? I have some cheap-o hosafe turrets and I'm constantly dealing with spiderwebs. I assumed that only a dome camera would be any better, but the Starlights look awesome, and if they could solve my spiderweb issue - even better.
