    How’s the trial version lately?

    I installed the trial version of BI last week, and as far as I can tell it's feature-complete, or at least complete enough to properly evaluate the software. It does put a "Blue Iris Evaluation Version" watermark prominently on all camera feeds but that's not really an issue while evaluating...

    Thanks for the guidance regarding focal length. I think there's one spot in my deployment that may benefit from a varifocal camera and IR illumination, for which the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 might be a good fit.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Yes, I noticed from the various testing videos that ambient light is a must. But that shouldn't be a problem; our new home has exterior wall lighting all around, and the garden will have ample lighting as well. We'll be able to keep those lights on at night (dimmed...

    Alright, after another long night of browsing this forum and looking up camera spec sheets, I stumbled upon this thread for the IPC-Color4K-X camera. The thread is a few years old, but the review and other tests in that thread looked really promising. The new house will have plenty of light both...

    Thanks. I'm testing the RLC-811A indoors now, and I've got that working within Home Assistant. Their app works great, I'll give them that. But I can see the 1/2.8" sensor is quite small for a 4K resolution. The night view doesn't seem to great, even indoors, regardless of the 4 beefy IR LED's on...

    New member looking to replace UniFi Protect with fully local setup

    Hi all – newly signed up to the forum for some advice on how to replace my UniFi Protect setup with a fully local alternative. Two reasons for this: Ubiquiti's recent cloud access misconfiguration, and the fact that I'm about to invest in a few additional cameras for our new home with Ubiquiti's...
