    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    I honestly don't get the reason for dishing on the guys running this data center. Why random people get off stating that people don't know what they are doing, don't use server monitoring tools, and making fun of them for wanting to see the front panels of the servers. It was just a request...

    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    Belt and suspenders. Engineering wants the ability to see server front panels. I'm just assisting with that

    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    Lol, not DOT. We are just using local geographic names for servers

    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    We purchased 2 Loryta 4mp cameras, one 2.8 and a 3.6. The level of detail is way more than required, can even read labeling on the servers! Going to experiment with rotating the lens on the 3.6 by 90 degrees to see if we can get full height view of the rack while still getting adequate width...

    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    Thank you all for the input. Based on everyone's feedback, I ran a test with an existing 4mp camera and it looks like that provides adequate resolution. I ordered 2.8 and 3.6 cameras and will see which works best. I'll try to remember to post the results.

    What camera for monitoring front of server racks

    Here's the situation. We want to monitor the front of 3 full height server racks to keep an eye for warning lights. Camera will be roughly 65" from the racks. From that distance, we'd like to see 72" wide and 76" tall. I'm sure there is a way to calculate what lens would work best, but its...

    Mini dome camera for closet

    I need a mini dome camera for wall or ceiling mount in a closet used to store some secured valuables (something unobtrusive, perhaps even a recessed camera if that's an option). We had a camera disguised in a box, but its time to replace that. Any suggestions? Must be POE, of course.

    How to update Deepstack

    I've been running Deepstack with BlueIris for a month or so and have found it to be very effective. Does Deepstack or BI download DS updates on its own, or is there a process I should be going through myself?

    Clobbered BI UI settings

    I would go into Chrome settings, privacy and clear out the site data for the UI3 address. I haven't done it with UI3, but I think that's a good first step. If you can't figure that out, Goggle ("clear chrome data for one site") will lead the way.

    Can't access BI UI3 except from the PC BI is running on **SOLVED

    Never mind, I meant to say I thought Windows Defender was off. Its shows as off in taskbar warning, but when I dug into settings it was turned on for inside my private domain. Thanks to everyone for the help, Stupid me, stupid me, stupid me...

    Can't access BI UI3 except from the PC BI is running on **SOLVED

    Yes, I am using the correct local URL. I do not get the login screen, it just doesn't respond. I have tried from a few Windows desktops and my phone. I am thinking its a network issue, but can't figure out where else to look. The URL works fine from the BI desktop. Everything is on the same...

    Can't access BI UI3 except from the PC BI is running on **SOLVED

    Long time BI user and I recently setup a new install in my office. It was working fine for a few weeks, but recently it won't allow access to UI3 from within the office LAN except for the desktop that BI is running on. I've exhausted my diagnostic options and cannot track it down. I can ping...

    Odd schedule question

    We've got a old grandfather clock that's been malfunctioning. The repair person has asked us to record it on the hour for a few days. I have a spare camera (plenty of old ones :rolleyes:), so I'm thinking I would have to override the camera's global schedule and paint in 5 minutes before to 5...
