    CPU suggestion?

    Ok thx for great explanation as always. The Bigfoot picture ( the snow one ) LOL it shows lines etc. Would you mind showing me one example of your IVS setting on a cam :).

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

    Great explanation as always @wittaj. I just went outside and took a photo with my iPhone and as you can see there are lights all the way to the door which I would hope would be enough to no only provide “backlighting”?

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

    I would hope the streetlights and the lights under the suffit would be enough for at 100000 times better camera from Andy to do color at this hour :) And your red square suggestion is exactly what I want to cover from either this mounting position or the red x from the initial picture . Yea...

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

    This is live just now from my Arlo Essential 1080p that is currently sitting at the yellow x. This camera was what came with the alarm system I have now cancelled as I decided quality and costs didn’t go together. Placing the new t54ir-ze-s3 here would be ok for id’ing ppl at the door I guess ...

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

    @wittaj thx for response. Hmm I’m also worried the lamp in the pic will somehow create glare issues as the camera would have to be app above it. I take it you would go with the yellow x for view. As it is varifocal I could zoom in just a pinch so guests 4 m away at door stand out clear. Or if...

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

    Might have to mount 2 of my t54ir-ze-s3’s on this angled place under my roof. Would that be at all possible to angle? I have not bought any accessories as I prefer to mount flat on surfaces and for “looks” . Another option is flat on my garage 2 m further back so I can film entrance of house...

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

    @TonyR thx for the reply This being a small form factor I dont belive anything else than the NVMR SSD will fit in there I would have to use the USB3 port to save to my WD Purple unfortunately I believe though the read speed would still be good Any experience with that being an issue? Cheers

    Camera placement, models

    Yes I actually work with IT on a daily basis and use a MikroTik router with unifi ap’s. MikroTik is not for the faint of heart and cameras will be placed on own VLAN with no internet access. I was just a little concerned on the live viewing part on eg my phone. From which I will WireGuard vpn...

    You suggest no color stuff? I see your review of the 5442 it shows color, I guess its due to your floodlight? Is UniView really that bad?

    @mat200 and @wittaj what do you think of this camera? I’m from Denmark so import fees are a lot so I can’t buy from Empiretech I imagine. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09TT4SPPJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=2H06HQUAPW36U&keywords=dahua+color&qid=1704283988&sprefix=dahua+color%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-18

    Can I ask at what height your cameras are? I’m afraid a potential thief/ whatever will just give them a good whack if too low. Some of mine will probably hang at only 2m height thx in advance

    Dahua or HiKVision advice needed for daughter protection with anxiety

    I will message Empiretech. Just asking you guys based on my pictures if 8MP or 4Mp. As u see right now it’s more “overview” positions so 8MP could be fine and then add 4MP in other positions for identification? I really need some professional advice before I blindly install my 2 x 8MP HikVision...

    @wittaj thx for sharing that link. Seems I don’t have the lighting for colorvu as it is now. Given the 3 pictures I have enclosed I would like your camera suggestions:). 4MP 4mm lens from e.g Uniview or this Empiretech if possible ( Live in Denmark ).
