    Camera reliability?

    I know how this person feels, I've done my left wrist in, no comments from the people at the back please and being left handed had a difficult and painful time wiping this morning :embarrassed:

    blue iris motion sometimes not detecting

    Maybe increasing the contrast/brightness and/or gain might help as the screenshots just look way too dark to me?

    Camera reliability?

    And breath ..... :) I got my Dahua 5231-ze cams back in 2019, so 4 years old now. Plan was to replace them as they died with newer models but the damn things just keep working. With them now being 4 years old and counting, if they started dying would I contact Andy, yep I would but to ask for...

    I’ve also got 6 5231-zero cams on duty but although I had the itch and replaced the pair up front I’ve resisted and will replace them as they go to cctv cam heaven [emoji3]

    New build CAT6 camera cabling through a wall

    You can get plasterboard which has insulation attached and can also be foil backed but no idea if that is what the OP is going to use.

    New build CAT6 camera cabling through a wall

    Personally I’d run all the cabling in trunking so if the worst happens at least you have a slim possibility of being able to pull a cable through if one gets damaged. Although the dab method will provide a gap you can’t rely upon that if you need to replace the cable as you don’t know if the...

    Writing to two HDs

    Personally I would just write straight to the target NAS, even more so if the storage areas that you are moving between are on the same NAS. Why faff around with moving data around?

    Giving up on PC + Blue Iris- should I try an NVR?

    He was replying to your everybody knows windows systems restart by themselves statement and if you truly believe that or have experienced it then it does sort of show that haven’t really configured windows to stop this?

    Giving up on PC + Blue Iris- should I try an NVR?

    My BI PC has never spontaneously rebooted but there again I did do some googling on how to block updates and driver updates?

    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

    I would do something like this, you need you leave areas where the cam can detect something moving from one area to the next. My 2 driveway cams haven’t missed a trigger when I least reviewed them, also if possible and you have another cam overlooking that area think about group triggers/alerts...

    Robbery in Habana Vieja

    It could have been her local neighbourhood where up until this moment she felt comfortable? That’s certainly how I felt before getting mugged [emoji3]

    There’s only one thing to do then in this case, when she’s not looking swap the desktops and everybody then wins [emoji3]

    Robbery in Habana Vieja

    It’s all too easy to say go all Liam Neeson after the event but I think unless you are 100% confident of your capabilities then most won’t even think it and is it worth the risk as things could escalate. I think for the poor girl it all fell apart when the other guy started touching her and...

    PC upgrade question

    What @Flintstone61 said above, try disabling hardware acceleration, I did recently and that dropped my CPU usage from around 30% to 20% which came as bit of a shock as logically offloading something you would think would be beneficial?

    Does BI ever go on sale? It kind of irks me that non-subscription cost more and there is no lifetime option

    It is what it is, go do the cheaper option and then post here asking how to cancel the auto-renewal [emoji3]

    Does BI ever go on sale? It kind of irks me that non-subscription cost more and there is no lifetime option

    Don’t forget about certs expiring for mobile alerts when that happens the only way to get them working is to purchase a support plan.

    Does BI ever go on sale? It kind of irks me that non-subscription cost more and there is no lifetime option

    Why is it expensive to become current, I thought you could buy support/maintenance whenever you wanted and that then allowed you updates within that period?
