    Review-Dahua SD1A203T-GN Starlight Mini PTZ

    Take a look at the SD1A203T-GN Review-Dahua SD1A203T-GN Starlight Mini PTZ It's a Dahua Starlight PTZ with IR. As for focal distance I find even the 4ft to be crazy far. Most of the cameras I tested had no problem focusing at like 2 ft away. I bench test my cameras before being installed and...

    I completely understand your concern with using IR light but it's not concentrated so I doubt it can cause any harm. "All infrared, visible or ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation can cause injury to the eye in sufficient concentrations, but this is very rare. The infrared light needs to be...

    Blue Iris with Alexa?

    He's not saying he isnt using the mobile app, just asking what BI will do with Alexa. I agree with the Reolink statement as they are not the best cameras for the money but again hes not asking for a opinion on the cameras he bought

    Clip - time ?

    It's the combine and cut setting for that clip and camera. That one file covers 7h and 26m of "time".

    Blue Iris with Alexa?

    The alexa integration is limited right now. You can change profiles, stop recording and send a PTZ to presets with Alexa... that's about it.

    SD22204T-GN - Camera stopped and making buzzing noise

    All the cameras are installed on the soffits under the eve of the house. PLENTY of room up there. I will mount the adapter under the soffit and glob it with dielectric grease. That will be more than enough to keep it safe from water. Example:

    I have never used them before but willing to give it a try. Figure $16 for two of them... better than buying a new camera

    IP cams that work with Alexa/Google Home

    Blue Iris currently does not integrate with Alexa Show for viewing your video or live feed. For something like that I would recommend using a raspberry pi running Chromium UI3 in kiosk mode or a cheap Amazon kindle. Take a look here for example: Blue Iris picture frame / UI3 camera viewing...

    Is it alright to run PTZs in the sun?

    It alright to have a PTZ in the sun HOWEVER, the plastic housing will not last as long being in direct sunlight. It will start to discolor and need to be replaced. I have aSD52C225U-HNI 2MP 25x Starlight PTZ on the front of my house now for 2 years. It gets direct sun for about 4-5 hours per...

    So is a 15 FPS that important to BI?

    I'm not arguing the fact that for most people 15fps is more than sufficient. I agree completely with this However, I still see a difference in your example between 15 and 30. Especially when the car drives down the road... fast moving object. He even says in the video "..set the fps to match...
