    Anyway to improve image

    How hard is it to change bulbs? Presume you’re using wattage equivalent in light rating. Best if use lumin output as all brands aren’t the same efficiency. Can you tip view to not see bulb? Will help with auto iris.

    Line-In for MIC on Hikvision

    I don’t know those abbreviations. I cut up an old RCA plugged audio cable which is shielded. How far are you going? Mine was less than 2 ft.

    Tower installation of PTZ and Lightning protection

    Tower is up and 3 cameras working. No lightning storms. Cameras sway a lot in the wind. Not often.

    Killed H.264 player on Smart tv using UI settings

    If I change “ streaming Quality” to higher than 720p, I get a red “undefined: Media error”. I suspect the tv browser maxes at 720p. JpegHD works ok but appears to be same as 720.

    Killed H.264 player on Smart tv using UI settings

    I was trying to see in 4K my 4K camera on a smart tv. Went to UI settings in upper right corner of browser and changed H.264 player from HTML5 to salt( NaCl auto) and lost the screen. The browser won’t complete saying H264 stays busy so I can’t set it back. I looked for some place to reset...

    Is it possible to setup BI to turn on/off IR on Hikvision cameras like the 2CD2432F?

    I'm missing something. Turning off IR mode (day/night switch?) is different then turning off IR light mode. I sometimes don't want the "red" light showing where the camera is and to use the ir light from other cameras. BI doesn't have to do everything. But the title says on/off IR not...

    Is it possible to setup BI to turn on/off IR on Hikvision cameras like the 2CD2432F?

    When I try this on a hik ptz and another, it turns auto mode into daylight and color comes back weakly. Doesn’t only turn off the ir light. Another setting I’m missing?

    New Cam won't PTZ on BI, others will.

    I had them on Axis cam. Is there anything else that causes yellow camera frame besides frame rate overload? thanks Fenderman!

    New Cam won't PTZ on BI, others will.

    Got 2 new cameras (DS-2DF8836IX-AELW). They are 4 k PTZ and picture show up after auto scan and trying all HIKvision make and models. Sound works. and they control for several browsers just fine. In BI, the frame turns yellow but nothing happens after pan request. Currently using Generic...

    Tower installation of PTZ and Lightning protection

    Thanks to both of you. Flat copper has greater surface area for high freq. I hope my tower will be even better surface area. I've order bare #2 AL cable to clamp right to AL tower and plan to use conductive compound on tower joints (every 10 ft). The cables will tie to perimeter ground and...

    Tower installation of PTZ and Lightning protection

    I have a new 100 ft aluminum 3 leg tower going in and plan to put several ptz cameras on the top. The tower is above most of the trees. My thought was to run 120 v (like 2 conductor #12) power up to the "distribution box" where there would be the ip bricks. The cameras are...

    PTZ camera identification

    OP, did you ever see a “drive in” with bright lights that washed out the view of the screen from the road? But that is not answering your question. The segmented edges of the PTZ should be a little unique, but I haven’t seem them.

    How much cpu is too much for BI?

    BP, yes I was running with a 4k screen. Changed screen res to 2 meg and cpu dropped by about 40 %. THE # sign on pixel column must be a combination of things. I changed all camera to direct to disc and now I have 4 cameras that don't have #. .?? Additional I'm getting a lot of c drive disc...

    How much cpu is too much for BI?

    Thanks for feedback. I'm just thinking about upgrade, wondering if it would improve over what I have. I7 6700 3.4gHz. ASUS motherboard video (?), 16 gb. the single thread rating from cpubenchmark.net is Single Thread Rating i7-6700-2159 i7-7700-2584 or about 20% higher. That's why I was...

    How much cpu is too much for BI?

    I'm looking at the Intel i9 for a new system. I have two 4k ptz ,two 4 meg , two 3 meg ptz, and 12 2 meg cameras. 20 total. Frame rates are around 5 to 10. Like to go faster With the i9, I can go from 10 core to 18 core and 36 threads. Would BI use 38 threads with 20 cameras? And would 32...

    IP Camera Basics are not understood

    Using a simple example will help me understand some basics of ip cam. If there is one ip camera on a network with 2 meg resolution and 1 frame per sec and 5 different computers looking at the image, say one BI and 4 simple browsers logged into the camera, How many copies of each frame in...

    BNC video out versus network and Long lens PTZ

    I'm looking at 2 cameras that have bnc and network output. Dalua 6C430UNI and Hik DS-2DF8836IV-AELW. My question is when or how does one use the video out? Is this leftovers for analog systems? the HIK has NTSC in composite format which I don't think supports 4 K. Second topic, I'm looking...

    BI time source

    I give , I can't find the time source for BI. I know the cameras have a setting but all my windows are exactly the same and off by an hour from the computer time. I presume it is the daylight savings setting. But where, help doesn't make it obvious. thanks

    Record only when home alarm is on?

    One possible way-- feed cameras into a switch then recorder and have the switch powered from your security alarming , relay interrupting switch power. Cameras on all the time just not seeing the recorder until wanted. Philosophy of not recording is your decision. Mine are recording all the...
