I just went with (5) IPC-T5442T-ZE. Going off of what others say, I should be able to capture everything I need to in great quality picture

Here is a photo of where I'm thinking about putting a IPC-E3541F-AS-M in 2.6 focal length. I don't have much surface area to mount to at face height, but it could be done. Do I mount it down low or just above the door as marked in red. I am also standing against a wall taking the photo. Another...

I also have a HDBW4231FP-AS running in a different location than I'm planning a setup for now. I just didn't know if the new one was an improvement over the old one in low light applications. The search doesn't really bring up anything as far as a comparison

I was referring to the IPC-HDBW2431F-AS-S2

Those do produce a great picture. I think I'm going to go with the 5442's for the main cameras. I am also thinking about going with the 4mp mini dome by the entrance/exit at face level to get a good face recognition. Are the 4mp mini domes any good? Better recommendations? Thanks everyone!

It does look like the 5442 is much better than the 3241 with not too much of a price difference(from a quick search). Being indoors trying to get an overall view of a store, is there a default focal lens I could go with instead of a varifocal? Its a pretty small store so I am not looking for...

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I have posted. I am working on setting up a small(4-5) camera system in a small convenient store my family owns. I have already checked the Wiki, but was unable to find any solid information. The last cams I purchased were the 2MP starlight...

Thank you! I will try to do some updates soon!

Thanks @mat200 I have ran through the forum, but have not found a lot on the new starlights. Either im not looking right or theres not much out there on them yet. Not sure when they were released.

Hello Guys, I currently have 1 HDW5231R-Z setup to monitor my front door. I am now looking for another camera to install over my garage door pointed over my vehicles. I am more focused on night time viewing to catch anyone trying to mess with our cars. I purchased the HDW5231R-Z a while ago...

Hello Everyone, I am struggling a bit trying to setup a schedule. Here is what I want. I want a constant recording 24/7 monday through friday, but I only want motion triggers outside of normal business hours. IE. All day sunday. Monday until 9AM starting back up at 5:15PM until Tuesday at 9AM...

Hello everyone, I am working on getting a BI computer setup at the moment. My question is...to set it up to view remotely do I need a router inline with the modem to be able to open port forwarding? I have a BI pc currently running at a different location, but I'm connected to a wireless...

Ok guys. Just picked up a optiplex 7010 i5-3470 3.2GHZ with 8GB ram, 500GB HD for $90 shipped to run as a dedicated PC. Going to install a WD purple 4TB drive into it for storage and a SSD to run the OS on. I need help figuring out which last camera to get. Since I will have 2 starlight cams...

@fenderman thanks for the tip! I'll look into the no OS systems as they look much cheaper. This is the second system I'm setting up(this one for my mother) and still doing a bunch of learning

Hi guys, also looking for a BI PC to run 3-4 cameras. I read the wiki. How important is a 6th gen i5 processor? I'm looking for a PC in the $200-$250 range and can only find it 3rd or 4th gen in that price range. I need the 8gm ram with an OS installed. I found this but I'm not sure how well it...

Thanks! I'm going to go with the 5231 starlight and the 2.8 mini dome starlight. I need a third camera to point over a large area to mainly see what's going on during the day. The other 2 cameras will be more for identifying people. Any reccomendations on the 3rd?

Thanks @bababouy ! Would you reccomend the 2.8mm mini dome for that location/purpose I mentioned above?

Ok guys. I'm going to go with 1 5231 starlight varifocal. I also want to do a camera at 5' 6"-6' to the right of the inside of the entry door to capture faces as people leave. I'm thinking a mini dome for this. Any thoughts? If it's reccomended, what focal length should I go with? Thanks!

Thanks @bababouy I will check out that cam! I am trying to figure out what exactly we want to do.

I currently have a starlight varifocal turret at my house and like it. Are there any cheaper varifocal that are meant for indoors as opposed to the outdoor that I'm assuming is more expensive?

Hello everyone, I havent posted here since getting everyone's reccomendations on a camera for my house. I am now looking for suggestions on indoor varifocal cameras for both daytime and nighttime viewing for a business. We have been broken into recently and the footage from the current cameras...

You hit the nail on the head! I tried a different Wifi and everything works great!

Any ideas as to why I can connect on LAN as well as WAN, but not when connected to another WIFI? Im not sure where to look at this point.

Hello everyone, I have finished my 1st cam install, have a BI dedicated PC running and have just bought the BI android app. I was using gDMSS Lite to view live feed, but just bought the BI app to view past feed/motion clips. I can view no problem on my home LAN and on WAN, but I am unable to...

Thanks. I'll give this a try!

I did try lower and it does seem to be better. In the pic above I do have the cam zoomed in a little bit. Is that recomended to do to focus on a better area? As far as the varifocal, is zooming in blue iris pretty much adjusting focal length? I'm trying to get optimal picture quality. Thanks...

I got the 5231R. Here is a pic of where it is mounted. It is on a 2x4 sp I can move it easily.

Rather than start a new thread any try to explain the details, I'll post back here unless it's not allowed. I've got blue iris running on a dedicated pc and a single turret mounted at the location tangent had said he'd try out. I have not messed with cam adjustments, but here's a screenshot of...

Hello everyone, Just got everything in to install a single cam(for now) and have setup a PC solely to run BI. Now I am not sure what's best as far as running my ethernet. My modem has 1 port on it which is going to my router. My question is, should both my POE switch and BI PC be running back...
