I just got my first Wyze cam up and running on my Blue Iris system last night, and I'm quite impressed at the price point! Is this a substitute for a PoE Dahau Starlight? Of course not, and I'll leave my more critical applications with cameras like those. That being said, the Wyze cam fills a...

Dahua IPC-HDW4433C-A 2.8mm is in my garage. Hard to beat for $55 - just make sure to isolate your network.

I actually can't really complain too much about my Uniden DB1 (rebranded Hikvision), especially given the price which was on sale for like $45. Here's my recipe: Feed it stable power from a good transformer (I used Nutone C907), use the free August Home "Chime Power Board" on each of your...

What settings have you guys been using with this camera? I've done something unfortunately where I have extremely grainy night images with it. I'm sure it's something simple like level of noise reduction, etc. but a baseline to work from would be great!

With the Hikvision cubes and their clones running at around $100, I was looking for a good lower priced alternative. The IPC-K35A fit the bill perfectly with a price of $65 shipped to my door in under 10 days. Preliminary testing shows the performance to be pretty darn good and operation with...

Thanks! Guess I should've read the obvious red text on that page! Not sure how I overlooked it...

Just to clarify, is the opportunity still available for me to sign up for extended support and maintenance plan and get a free upgrade from BI4 to BI5? If so, do I need the $30 annual subscription based support plan or the $35 annual plan with no extension? Could not find indication of this on...

I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd chime back in now that I have my camera installed. Was thinking up ways to use commonly available J-boxes, but for the minimal amount of money saved it just wasn't worth it. Bought several of the Dahua J-boxes for less than $10 each and they were...

Well, that clears that up. Thank you! Looks like I had default set as HW acceleration, but the individual cameras were set to off.

I've searched for an answer to this but didn't see anything. When I open up my BI status window, one of my cameras has a "number sign" or "pound sign" next to the camera resolution. Actual resolution in the camera setup is the same as the other cameras set at 3MP but I'm wondering why this is...

Thanks for all the replies on this. I've actually ordered a few of the Dahua J-Boxes and will use those for the under soffit installs.

Thanks for the input! I think that's what I'll do. My other issue is the positioning of that torx set screw that Dahua uses to lock it down. Would've been nice if they somehow installed it in the mounted part of the base so you could clock it however you wanted to. You need a couple inches...

Just to eliminate any confusion up front, I am not experiencing IR reflection issues right now because I have not installed any Dahua turrets yet! I just want to make sure I do it right when I do. Question is, as long as an object which could cause IR reflection issues is not within the camera...

Thank you for the reply! OK, I'm fine with it then.
