    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Looking forward to hearing if this new 2.4.5 RC1 works out for you, as it seemed from your previous post that you were having trouble with the 2.3.4 release.

    BI 5.8.1.4 - PTZ no longer moves to preset when triggered from spotter

    I have had a similar issue that cropped up in these recent releases: the "look-back" feature of the scheduler (which is sometimes called by the PTZ feature), in regards to changing camera profiles at sunrise/sunset, hasn't been working when the computer (or B.I.) restarts in the opposite time...

    New Member Needing BI/NVR help!

    The one I picked up on eBay (for about $15) was described as "HP NC360T PCI EXPRESS DUAL PORT ADAPTER Card EXPI9402PT 412646-001 412651-001". Mine had the low profile bracket, but do check (it needs it).

    New Member Needing BI/NVR help!

    I would vote for the HP (Full Disclosure: it is exactly the model that I use): room for two spinning hard drives, low power draw, very stable overall. Don't forget to pick up second low profile Intel based NIC (see the pinned/wiki "Two NIC" Thread). Edit: Yes, as Fenderman pointed out below, I...

    Ghosting issues

    ^^^This. So many people have the (totally false) impression that a higher FPS setting (like 30, rather than 15) will add to the overall "clarity", when in fact it only adds to the smoothness of motion, potentially at the expense of actual sharpness in a stopped frame (screenshot, etc..). Oh...

    WizMind vs WizMind "S" ?

    Am I just not finding it (quite possible), or has there really been no in-depth discussion or review of the performance of these "new series" S3 variants of the fixed lens 5442 turret cameras (2.8mm, 3.6mm, 6mm)? I see lots of discussion of the various Z series 5442 (varifocal lens) variants...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Have you tried various non-multiples of 60hz as well? Intuitively, I would think you would want to avoid potentially syncing with the 60hz frequency, not align with it.

    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    Make sure you also pick up a second (low profile, if I remember correctly) Intel based NIC from eBay (or a local second hand/ recycling source)...read the "two NIC" thread on that subject if you don't know what I am referring to.

    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    I have essentially the same unit (I5-8500 version) and also highly recommend it: very stable, no issues, and low power consumption.

    PC upgrade question

    ^^^This^^^. Generation improvements count more than the two extra cores. Power use keeps trending down for same or better performance as well.

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    Looks good, but don't forget to pack that connection with dielectric grease (always a good idea on an outside connection, but absolutely vital if you have little else to waterproof/seal that connection). Not sure if you have a means to pull that cable out from the wall when finalizing this, but...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Somewhere on the CPAI site there are links to older versions, I don't remember where at the moment. However, it isn't so simple for another member to "share" their installation: in reality every installation file that we download and execute is just a tiny portion or stub of the full CPAI...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I still have a smooth running installation of 2.1.8 that I have been running for about 6 months or so: I think I will let braver souls (with perhaps currently problematic installations) try this out and see if it is trouble-free and resolves anything for them. I hate to temp fate and wind up...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Also, make sure under the Day and Night tab settings it isn't locked to Black and White.

    How many days of video do you keep for a home system?

    Hmm...I guess many of you never leave for more than a week of vacation: I am usually away for around 3 weeks at a time, once a year. While it's true that I have others looking after my house while I'm gone, it's still nice to be able to review footage for at least the last month or so.

    Where to buy Dahua 5442 6mm that is not “new look”?

    To be fair, yeah, I am starting to come around and get behind the new design a bit more now that some clarifications have been made regarding the security (still only fair, but better than having just a quick release tab only), and construction/materials (seems to be mostly cast aluminum, as...

    Where to buy Dahua 5442 6mm that is not “new look”?

    It would be great if we can get @EMPIRETECANDY to verify this information: the photo on Amazon seems to show the new (cheaper looking, less secure tab based system) on the "new" 6mm lens version of the 5442 camera. All very confusing at this point...

    Where to buy Dahua 5442 6mm that is not “new look”?

    Ugh, really not very impressed to hear that Dahau has essentially cheapened the design of these: the relative security (mostly through the obscurity of the single security torx screw) of the old design was a major selling point for me.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Interesting...did you find any additional info on this MobileNetSSD model? What objects it can use (person, car, animal, etc...) and whether it is optimized for night use? Edit: Perhaps more importantly, are your comparison numbers generated from the same (like for like) models? And are the...

    New lexan domes

    I have used that exact Meguiar's spray product, but for it's intented use, on headlights. I think one of the difficulties with trying to use it for a camera dome would be applying it in an absolutely perfect coating with the included spray-can nozzle. Remember, our camera's FOV will most likely...

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    Seems fairly self explanatory: the minimum duaration is as before, whatever is appropriate for your FOV. The newly added controls after that duration setting should default to 2 times within 3 seconds. Your pictured example seems impossible as shown: a 1 second trigger duration cannot occur 5...

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    Have you noticed if all of your Push (or Pushover, in my case) Alerts are working as before? I see significant changes there: the Alerts are populated in the Alerts list as they should be, but I am still trying to sort out the correct workflow to have all of my Pushover alerts come through as...

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    Yes, definitely many changes in 5.8.0.0. It also defaults to a new setup of X number of triggers in Y number of seconds (2 triggers in 3 seconds by default). This seems to only happen after doing a camera details "inspection" then doing an "OK". Without the reinspection, it doesn't change...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Have you noticed that the entire CodeProject.com website is currently down? That is likely affecting the ability to do both new "full" installations as well as adding downloadable modules. The whole CodeProject setup seems entirely too fragile IMHO. I currently have 2.1.18 working since it was...

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    Has anyone here tried this new version yet? Some interesting new features, just hope nothing got broken in the process. Yes, I know, no need to remind me: the leading edge is often the bleeding edge. I'm just looking for user experiences if there are any to report so far.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    Huh, you might be running into another issue I have had as well: these Dahua cameras can be very stubborn about mixing and matching the (main) Admin: Username and Password vs. the "optional" ONVIF Username and Password. Frankly it's a bit of a rabbit hole getting those sorted, and good luck if...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    Not sure if this is a proper workaround, but more of an observation: you can leave the camera firmware ONVIF Authentication on, and when you have an event that triggers this stream of "Events: request 8000ffff" (this can be from simply rebooting the cameras by power cycling them, or rebooting...
