    H.264 vs H264H vs H.265 encoding

    I believe H.265 requires reducing bitrate if you are interested in reducing disk space or bandwidth which is the normal purpose of H.265.

    H.264 vs H264H vs H.265 encoding

    The following may or may apply to Blue Iris: The purpose of H.265 video compression is to reduce file size and have about the same image quality. That can result in using less disk space and lower bandwidth. It requires reducing your bitrate significantly. The resulting image quality is in...

    I cannot get Amcrest ash21 cameras to connect to blue iris

    I don't know if it works with BI. Nobody has reported trying it. I don't have BI to test it. I do know that I can setup a preset in Amcrest Surveillance Pro, and go to the preset in Amcrest View Pro with an ASH21.

    I have an ASH21 and have never needed a Web UI. All ASH21 camera settings I've wanted to change, not just ones in SH app, I can change using Amcrest Surveillance Pro (same as SmartPSS) on Device Config page. I can also set ASH21 PTZ Presets there on Live View page. Many non-SH settings can...

    Help needed with the installation of camera system (NAS+proxy)

    Blue Iris software on a PC at your summer house should do what you want. Here's a start on how to do it. See page 129 at https://blueirissoftware.com/BlueIris.PDF I haven't done it. Also, if not using it, try using H.265 video compression to reduce bandwidth.

    I believe your fisheye camera Web UI needs to have this option available to record or stream dewarped video. That option is in https://dahuawiki.com/images/Files/Manuals/Dahua%20Network%20Camera%20Web%203.0%20Operation%20Manual_V2.0.2.pdf

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    If they use P2P on their android Amcrest View Pro app for remote Amcrest camera access, then adding a Dahua camera via P2P to Amcrest app would not work. They would have to use DMSS for Dahua P2P. Amcrest and Dahua use different P2P servers.

    Simplest software for noobie trying to find out how deer are getting in the yard?
