    Sentry still around?

    Awesome, I haven't looked for new features with this update.... Will look tonight.

    Sentry still around?

    I just turned mine off after purchasing it. They pass too many through without analysis and then claim they removed all the false alerts. BI/Sentry need to have an option that says take the time you need for a full analysis as an option before hitting my cell phone with a text. I actually get...

    How well has Sentry worked for me?

    The more I use it, the more I am finding the limitations... A lot of which are actually on the BI side. I would like to be able to pick which alerts use BI, as well as telling NOT to send over the unprocessed alerts. It would also be able to adjust the "sensitivity" or confidence levels. I am...

    How well has Sentry worked for me?

    It would be nice if there was a feedback mechanism from within either the alerts or Blue Iris to let them know that something was accurate or not. Hopefully they could leverage that information to improve the analysis. I just subscribed, but there is room for improvement and additional options.

    Sentry Website

    What is the best way to submit data for analysis/correction? I find the website pretty frustrating, the only option seems to be via support / feedback (long survey with no upload option). Some of the links on the support page don't work, nothing jumps out at me as an option to create a ticket...

    Trial so far

    1. I thought human activity would include vehicles...but guess not. I am happy to see that vehicle detection will be in a future release. 2. I would LOVE Bear activity :) probably not at the top of anyone else's list, but when the bears are around I want to know it. 3. I need a local audible...

    Blue Iris v5

    I am loving v5! I will confess that reinstalled Win 10 from scratch (1903) and upgraded to v5 at the same time, but HUGE improvement. x256 review is possible now and smooth. The new shuttle interface is great. Motion detection has way less issues with shadows, etc compared to the v4 with...

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    NTP should take care of that, can your cameras reach the internet?

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    There appears to be an up/down PTZ limit but not a left/right PTZ limit, does that sound right? I would like to limit the PTZ motion to avoid either manual or Auto going crazy. What I was attempting to do was use BI for intrusion detection and auto tracking in intelligence. I have now...

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    The instructions about the IVS section are from an older version. That is actually what I am trying to determine....do you need any of the IVS setup for auto tracking. If you just check the enable box under auto tracking it DOES start auto tracking. Just not sure if the IVS stuff will help...

    Dahua NVR or Blue Iris

    Auto Tracking wouldn't likely be the term you want. You are looking for a trigger and an action to move to a preset with BI. Looking at BI, you can have a PTZ go to a particular preset based on a trigger. This trigger could be from the camera group. I don't see an obvious option to be able...

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    I picked one of these up and like it, although I am still getting used to using BI at the same time.... I am disappointed (not surprised) at how bad the auto tracking is. Is the only setting in the camera that affects auto tracking the PTZ, Function, Intelligence menu? (Enable and duration)...

    H.265 vs H.264

    Thanks guys! VBR did work, I left it at the default of4 quality. Almost no disk activity at all... this is an odd one! I didn't reduce the size of the recording files, what is recommended? -Dwight

    H.265 vs H.264

    Can someone confirm that you can run high playback speeds (128x or 256x) of multiple cameras (how many???) from a single purple drive?

    H.265 vs H.264

    Crud, your right. I have enough video to test better now... Memory is good, CPU is good, Disk is hitting 100% util at 8x and above playback with only two calendars and things start glitching. HD is a WD20PURX-64P6ZY0. Playing back locally. SSD for OS, program and DB. Any other ideas? I...

    H.265 vs H.264

    I was having playback issues running H.264H so I switched to H.265 for better compression....better, but still issues. Switched to H.264 and it appears to be fixed, I will know for sure in the morning. Can someone explain why H.264 is working better than H.265? In theory H.265 uses higher...

    SFP ports/switch?

    I thought Cisco had changed their policy to lifetime firmware updates to compete with others.... perhaps only on newer switches or for the original owner....

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Which model is this? I assume some version of the 5231, but it seems to have slightly different specs than the one Andy's Ali store. 2MP IR Vari-focal HDCVI Eyeball – Dahua North America

    Thermal Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera

    Good point, but I wouldn't think you need much resolution to just use it as a tripwire for the normal starlight cameras to reduce false alarms.

    Thermal Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera

    These look really nice! I just wish the price was lower, or the field of view was much larger so you would need less of them.

    I misread an earlier post about $1300. Which model is that one and what features are different?

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    I was considering ordering, but it looks like the prices have dropped significantly (good)...but the model isn't on the Dahua web page any longer. Is this model discontinued in favor of the "laser" options?

    IPC-HF8835F Weather rating? Best outdoor low light camera?

    Does the IPC-HF8835F require an enclosure or is it outdoor rated? I found one site that says weather proof, another post that refers to an enclosure. I am looking for the best outdoor low light camera available. I live in the country, no exterior lighting and I would prefer not to chase...
