    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Weather here can come from almost any direction. In my second video you can see the cloud movement change direction several times. At one point it looks like the upper and lower level clouds are going different directions! Here's my 4231. It's been up there for over a year with no problems. I...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    OK, my wallet is cringing right now as the chances of a HF8835F purchase just went up. How were you able to confirm the sensor type? The IMX294CJK looks insane from specs. This sensor has both Exmor R and STARVIS tech baked in. Looking forward to your 4239 results also!

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Thanks for the detailed response @tangent Orginally I was considering PTZ's but my view to the north, west and east has a too many trees and roof tops for my liking. I also need a wide angle as I want to get in as much of the mountains as I can and still cover the sky to the south. I've...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    I'm shooting at slow shutter speed (1/5s) and full color. You have to turn off the backlight to get down that low. Then I use the profile scheduler to switch between my day/night settings at sunrise and sunset. I record to blue iris and then export my video from there and bring it into CyberLink...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Thanks, I realized the additional benefits of the 4239 after I responded. However, I'm shooting at very slow shutter speeds for my night scenes and that is where the HF8835F and it's large sensor seem to have the advantage. HF8835F 0.0005Lux/F0.95 (Color,1/3s,30IRE) vs HFW4239T-ASE...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    My 4231 already has the 1/2.8 STARVIS sensor with starlight and is 2.8mm for wide angle. I'm looking to upgrade from that.

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    I'm running a IPC-HDBW4231F-AS on my roof for sky watching and I'm considering an upgrade. I've made several time lapse videos with footage I've captured with this camera and it's been a lot fun. I'm considering the IPC-HF8835F partnered with a 12mm ultra wide angle lens as a replacement. I want...

    Time lapse

    Hi Everyone, I created a quick little time lapse with the Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-AS I have mounted on my roof. I've been running my 9-camera Dahua/Blue Iris system for close to a year now and have learned a ton from this forum. Thanks to everyone that contributes!

    Took a lightning strike today

    My current plan to solve this problem is to put grounded surge protectors on both ends of my fence cams since they have outdoor runs. The rest of my cams with indoor runs are going to get grounded surge protection on the inside before hitting the switch. I hope this enough to give me a little...

    Took a lightning strike today

    I found out from neighbors that saw it hit that it struck the ground about two house's down from me. I have two cameras that are about 20ft out from my house mounted on fences. I wonder if the surge came in from one of these and zapped my switch. My security camera switch is isolated from the...

    Took a lightning strike today

    I just took a direct or nearly direct lightning strike. Was seeing some lightning in the area and seconds after I grabbed my 3 year old and stepped inside a simultaneous flash and boom. Not sure exactly where it hit but it was close. I have 7 cameras outside my home cabled using utp and...

    convert/export time-lapse option greyed out

    I want to export some video with high-speed playback but the options are greyed out under convert/export. The help file doesn't even mention these options either. What am I doing wrong here? I've tried selecting different options and nothing is unlocking them.

    Android app crashing

    I have the same problem. We use a Samsung Galaxy tablet and it crashes frequently with "Unfortunately, Blue Iris has stopped" message. Some times it will run for several hours without crashing while other times it won't run for more than a few minutes. I've tried reinstalling the app, testing on...

    Blue Iris

    You can still run BI as a service and do this. The BI service will logon as local system account by default. This needs to be changed to an account that has access to the share. I'm not running a domain at home so I have an account on my BI machine with the same name and password as an account...
