    WTS Intel NUC- i7/8gb RAM/120gb SSD

    Network layout for first timer

    The first option is what you need. Second option will not work as you need a something to do your routing and the modem won't do that. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Anti Virus Recommendations? (not Norton)

    Just read this news this morning and had the same sentiments. Don't these companies know this move will affect them more than the NRA in the long run? NRA members are a loyal group and have no problem doing what is said above. The NRA didn't kill anyone. How about we address the LEO that sat...

    Damnit! Great deal. Was about to buy 3 of them for upcoming installs. That went quick.

    Blue iris suddenly used 80% memory since last update.

    Just wanted to update, been over 2 months and I'm still sitting at 6-8% idle with 10 cameras. Adding #11 this weekend. The key is once you fix it, be sure to set Windows to not automatically install drivers, otherwise everything you do will be in vein. Thanks again @techfun

    Blue iris suddenly used 80% memory since last update.

    When you rolled back your driver to 4664 did you uninstall current driver, reboot, install 4664? Not sure of it makes a difference but worked for me Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Blue iris suddenly used 80% memory since last update.

    I'm running win10 but followed techfuns direction and with those two combos of driver and bi version, I'm sitting back at 8%. Of course my issue was automatic updates but for you may be worth giving it a shot with 4664 Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Blue iris suddenly used 80% memory since last update.

    Wanted to wait a day and make sure all was well before I jumped the gun. Followed your instructions to the T and I am finally back down to 8-10% CPU (from 90%) with 20% memory consumption running 10 cams. I don't know why I procrastinated so damn long to do it but I am a happy camper again. Set...

    Need camera recommendation (details inside)

    Bad cables are known to have abnormal behavior. Worth a shot to test with a known good cable as fenderman suggested. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    That is badass! Just got mine yesterday and installed it above my garage today replacing a 5231R-Z. Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY this thing is a beast. The first thing the wife says when she sees it- "well thats not very incognito at all". I told her thats the point lol Now if I can just figure out...

    Blue iris suddenly used 80% memory since last update.

    I am having the same issue with CPU. 12 cams, i7 7700k with 16gb RAM, CPU was around 20%, now around 80% at idle with nothing open. After reboot it will stay around 20-30% but over the course of the day will eventually end up around 80. I updated BI and Windows 10(forced) at the same time and...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z: Please help me figure out why it looks like crap

    So this isn't necessarily the camera or settings, more along the environmental lines. I just don't remember it being this bad. Which would you suggest, LED flood lights or an IR illuminator to get a clearer image of the sidewalk? Really want to avoid adding a 3rd camera on the driveway. Sent...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z: Please help me figure out why it looks like crap

    I have two 5231's on the driveway, one on either side of the garage. I've noticed one of them has gotten blurry/foggy over time. I really noticed about a month ago when we had breakins on the street. The subjects came down my side of the street but never came up on my driveway so I couldn't get...

    Let’s talk Business $$

    Curious about this as well. Getting more and more requests for camera installs but haven't done enough to know if it's better to bid out as $x amount per camera/run + NVR or just bill at time and materials with a markup on hardware. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Simple Hikvision NVR question

    I have Blue Iris pretty well figured out but have never played around or installed an NVR. I have a friend with an existing Hik 24 port POE NVR that is full and he wants to add 3 more cameras. Can I just use a POE switch (or 1 to 4 POE splitter) and add these cameras or does he need to get a...

    Minimize GUI when monitor is turned off?

    Think of it as a 1 way street. Data only goes from pc to monitor, not both ways. Monitors are dumb, they just do what the pc says. Is it really that much work to minimize BI prior to turning off the monitor? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Wiring nightmare need advice.

    Camera for garage. Cheap, wide-angle, POE, good night vision.

    I picked up two of these for my garage and they do well for $50/ea. Really no reason to ever update the firmware on them so being an international version isn't a big deal for me. Just make sure you block them from calling out on your router. Be advised the mount is plastic but the camera itself...
