    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    So I'm just about to pull the trigger on one of these for a back yard overall and critter cam. 3 acres. Understand autotrack might be hit and miss but it's not critical but am spending the extra money for it in the hopes it hits more than it misses. Still a good investment or should I pass on...

    Camera called "Motion" keeps being added back.

    So I did the above and removed it from the registry. This worked for a few reboots but now this camera is back again.

    Camera called "Motion" keeps being added back.

    So why do I need to delete from the registry and why doesn't "right click" then "Delete Camera" work? I checked and see nothing attaching this camera to anything.

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    Anxiously awaiting @Dasstrum video thread on motion detection setup. I've read the help file multiple times and played with multiple setups but still have lots of questions. Also for whatever reason it is really hard on some of my cameras to see the little "blocks" in the zone setup screen...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    V7 MPEGS24-1N <- switch that is listed in the spreadsheet above is freaking awesome. I have one. For the price of $122 you get 24 ports of full POE+ managed switch. And a web interface that doesn't suck! And is actually very useful especially for a home switch. You can't beat it. The only...

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    I found a thread on here about how to get the Dahua IVS to trigger blueiris and apparently it works on some cameras. I was only able to get it to "kind of" work and then it became very unreliable and stopped triggering. But I was able to get it to trigger BI a few times. Encouraging. I'd...

    Camera called "Motion" keeps being added back.

    When I restart BI a camera called "Motion" with shortname of "Camera" keeps being added in as a camera. It has no signal because it has no setup. Has anyone else ever had this happen? This is twice on two systems now. On the last system I just hid it because I could never get rid of it.

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    I'll add myself to the list. While I realize there are lots of scenarios there has to be some general guidelines. Since we are all using basically the same size/type cameras and trying to detect pretty much the same things.

    2nd and 3rd cam choice ?

    Here you go...read this thread. Sanity Check - Better cameras, IR Illuminators or tweak Blue Iris? There is your "what's the difference video actually look like" washed out crappy B&W to full color holy cow is that really night time. In fact, that thread should be the FIRST thread anyone reads.

    2nd and 3rd cam choice ?

    I think so Yes. Luckily I found this forum after buying 3 cams online and starting to mess around. Those 3 Amcrest cameras while they look good in broad daylight absolutely suck at night. Then I read and bought two 5231R-Zs and because of a post on here two 4431R-Z. Yes, there is a very...

    Sure do. CAMERA SETUP TRIGGERING...man I have been fumbling around. Trust me...I've read the help screen 15 times. It's written for someone that understands a lot of this already...def not newbie friendly. Things like when or why does it trigger? If I setup zones does it only use zones...

    I believe #1 happened first...no other way to explain how it went from english to chinese. However my password worked to get in. Then figuring out the menus from my other camera I got to the part to change the language...only chinese was available. So then I came here and grabbed Cor35vet's...
