    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    I'm using the latest firmware from Andy's web page on my S3's.

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    I have ABR on my S3's and a range setting.

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    So if there's no choice for ABR and you're stuck using CBR, I assume that means that there's no ramping up and down? So what is the AI setting doing then?

    Wait.....I thought she said on that side of the screen they have said all there is to say? What a blabber mouth.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    This is why women should just stay out of the game. They don't have the back bone for it. It's just mother nature.

    Thank God that hyena lost the election. Couldn't wait to get up this morning and watch all the cry baby videos. :p

    That's quite a difference for sure.

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    I was kind of wondering the same thing. I'm going to try one of my cams with AI coding for a few days and see what happens.

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    I actually run two of my most important cameras at 15FPS/15 i-frame. It's the two in my home. So I don't doubt your logic and actually use it on a small scale. The difference between you and me is that you want a solid screen capture of a perps face and I want a beautiful smooth flowing video...

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    Excellent information and a pleasure to read a different perspective on camera settings. I always thought it was odd that people neuter their nice cameras to appease Blue Iris and to get that perfect shot of a "perp". Where the hell do you guys live where there's all these perps running around...

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    Are you saying you have seen the pulsing even with the Iframe 2X FPS?

    Hmmmmm, yeah switching to the AI codec seems to work to.

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    I bought three of Andy's S3 cams and noticed the same pulsing. If I double the i-frame setting (ex: 15fps, 30 i-frame) the pulsing goes away......even keeping the bitrate low. And like the OP said, running 15fps, 15 i-frame and upping the bitrate seems to stop/slow it down. In my case I only...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Agreeed! And as you can notice in the photo with the onboard IR, a spider was already spinning a web in front of the camera.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Got my new D110's installed behind my shop. Camera is mounted under the soffit. The first photo is with the onboard IR. I admit, the position of the camera did not make it easy for the onboard IR to present itself in an aloquent fashion. Basically it sucked with the IR glare off the soffit...

    Costco now starts selling Lorex 4K+ NVR system for $299.99

    Those would make good toilet cams. After installation just flush! :p

    Animal detection seems to be working pretty good so far.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Both the D120 and D110 now come with a 24v PSU. 1 amp for the D110 and 1.5 amp for the D120. Here's a snippit from their Amazon ad. "1x 110-240Vac to 24V DC 1A power adapter (2023 updated from 12V DC ones to avoid pressure drop and loss of brightness after using long extension cable)"

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    What kind of pattern does the D120 have? I have basically a 36' wide by 60' area I'd like to light up. Was thinking maybe one D120 or two of the smaller D110's.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I swapped out my PSU's with better spec'd (12v 2 amp) units right out of the gate. One of my illuminators was turning off randomly and then back on which is why I did that. I also made my own extension cables using 18 Awg since I was going 30'.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    15 months and my Tendelux illuminators are still going strong. Matter of fact I'm about to buy a few more for the new cameras at the back of my shop. After using these, I don't really care for onboard camera IR........at least not for outdoor use.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Oh, I did the same with the T-180 I just got and it too is working fine. Probably going to leave the rest of my 4K-T's on the older firmware.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Well I took one for the team and installed the V3.140.0000000.22.R firmware again on one of my 4K-T's. This time I cleared everything on IE first. It did want me to install a plugin which I did. Anyway, it's nice and dark here now and the firmware is working just fine.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    With the V3.140.0000000.22.R firmware the daytime image was perfectly fine though. It was only going into garble mode after a certain level of darkness.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Interesting. Even if I was using an older plugin and that was causing the issue, why is it not causing the same issue with other firmware on the same camera?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 Intermittent 'No Signal' in BI

    I too was showing drop outs in my log on all five of my 4K T cams. I never ever actually lost an image on any of them. Like others I checked Decoder compatibility mode and the log is now clean seven hours later with no drop out entries.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Hard to say. I know my 4K-T's have lost power in outages before and returned to service no problem.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    The version Andy sent me is V3.120.0000000.39.R.230918. I can confirm this firmware version works perfectly fine on my end.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Yeah, it sure does seem like a bug. I just received a 4K-T180 from Andy and there's no way I'm updating to this firmware.......unless of course it's already on the 180. Havent even set it up yet.
