    How can I improve on this facial image?

    Ok so I’ve zoomed into entrance more, first in colour which still isn’t great image wise, then in black and white zoomed and slightly zoomed out. Ir lights on 5231 are off, because the ir lights on the 4431 are on and the 5231 seems to do fine with just the 4431 ir lights... opinions welcome ?

    How can I improve on this facial image?

    Thanks Matt I do have a 4431 higher up which covers the wider view of the driveway, and the 5231rze is aimed from top of door to driveway entrance. I could zoom it in more but it then starts to cut off some of the entrance as it’s 4m wide. Here is an image from the 4431

    How can I improve on this facial image?

    Had a guy wonder onto our drive at 11pm last night. I think he was confused as wonders off drive then up and down road. This camera is left in colour mode as the image is good as there is a streetlight outside drive and lights either side of front door (where camera is mounted) Anyone coming up...

    Setting up synology DS115j with blue iris

    Thank you, you have been a great help. I’ve now set my ‘new’ and ‘stored’ file paths to point to new folders in the video section of the nas, at first there were no clips appearing in the clip window of blue iris but by unticking the ‘run as a service’ in bi options it started showing clips, I...

    Setting up synology DS115j with blue iris

    Ok, so I set up the main admin account for nas then set up a secondary account without admin rights which uses the same name/password as my pc account ?

    Setting up synology DS115j with blue iris

    Great help thanks, that’s all done. Just setting up the nas now, is it the primary administrator account on the nas that needs to match my pc account ?

    Setting up synology DS115j with blue iris

    Hi Aristobat, How would I go about modifying the service? This is the permissions tab under task manager for the blue iris service, is it something in this tab I need to edit ?

    Setting up synology DS115j with blue iris

    my 115j nas is being delivered today so trying to get a head start on setting it up to work with blue iris. I’ve had a quick forum search and think I need to set a user on the 115j with the same name and password as my pc account if I’ve read that correctly. Also I have bi to run as a service...

    Options to increase storage ?

    That’s the exact one I was looking at (mainly because it’s cheap) Have ordered it from amazon uk, luckily was able to cancel the caddy/enclosure order. A few years ago I bought a nuuo nvr2040 mini for next to nothing but could not get it to recognise my old Foscam cameras and couldn’t get any...

    Options to increase storage ?

    Thanks again Tony, You are correct in that I am unfamiliar with nas units. I have managed to set my blue iris pc and config all my cameras etc so am fairly pc savvy although by no means expert level..lol There is an option to add a 2.5” drive to my m93p pc but the wd purple is 3.5” so looking...

    Options to increase storage ?

    I’m wondering now if I’d be better off installing the wd purple drive into a nas enclosure ? Synology or similar, a lot of the reviews for these external hd caddy’s/enclosures mention they get quite hot, so not sure that would be good to be left on 24/7 ?

    5231rze colour or black/white for night time ?

    Thanks guys, in addition to the two lights by the front door I am planning on adding a led security light towards the driveway entrance end of the house. Passing cars are a lot easier to identify in colour. I did have a quick play with the Blc and wdr options but both seemed to introduce some...

    5231rze colour or black/white for night time ?

    recieved my 5231 today from Andy, great service, 6 days to arrive in uk. I’ve installed it above front door, picture quality looks great in colour and black white. Due to lighting around front door I’m not sure if camera will automatically go in black/white mode, all my other cameras have gone...

    Options to increase storage ?

    Yes, I’m aware of that procedure, but you’d recommend keeping the dB path as it is (on the internal ssd)

    Options to increase storage ?

    Thanks Tony, That seems a fairly easy addition to make, I was looking at the wd purple drives so will investigate this further.

    Options to increase storage ?

    My cameras record to my blue iris pc which is a Lenovo M93p tiny form pc, the pc hard drive is a 500gb ssd. What are my options to increase this capacity to give me more space to store recorded video? Ideally something external would be easiest but are there any downsides to this?

    Dahua H2.65 IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    I have to be honest, for £55 each they are spot on image wise, I’ve a starlight model on the way but the night image from the 4431 is loads better than my hikvision 2032. Could do with knowing the best settings for these to even out the night image though as the area of my camper is obviously...

    Exported clips not playing

    as a test I cropped and exported a small 2 minute clip from one of my recordings. I did this in both avi and mp4 and each time the green status bar showed the convert/export process and then the file shows on my desktop (my chosen location) as a avi or mp4 file of around 30mb. However when I...

    Help with cpu demand

    Apologies, that may have helped. The processor is the 4750T 2.9ghz You are spot on, my hik I enabled direct to disk but the new Dahua was not so have changed that and it’s helped vastly. I have also now chosen hardware acceleration as this was off. One other query, both my hiks are running at...

    Help with cpu demand

    Hi, I use blue iris on a Lenovo m93p tiny pc. The spec of the pc is i5 processor and 4gig of ram. I have a hikvision 2032 (soon to be retired) and a similar hikvision dome running on blue iris and have today added a Dahua 4431rz and am also waiting on delivery of a Dahua 5231rze from Andy. My...

    This is the 4431 tibimakai ? You seem to have good lighting, do you have any images of the 5231 at all. Thank you.

    Dahua H2.65 IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    There is a street light right at the driveway entrance and the two lights either side of the door are on a dusk/dawn sensor so are also on all night. I might have to rig one up as I’ve seen a review where the camera ir was completely whiting out faces but others where it looks fine. These...

    Dahua H2.65 IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    Ok, so I’ve had my two 4431rz delivered, and before I go to the trouble of installing them could any of the first few posters on this thread who actually use these cameras give their feedback ? If these really are not that good at night time then I may just re sell them and spend the extra on...

    Advise on camera locations to cover driveway

    I have got two of the 4431rz Varifocals just been delivered but there seem to be mixed reviews on them now I’ve had a good root around. So not sure whether to sell them on and pay more for the 2mp Dahua starlight which everyone is raving about ?

    Advise on camera locations to cover driveway

    The object arrows is my hikvision, the camera to the left of the front door is an old camera that is coming down, the object in top corner of front door is a dusk/dawn sensor for the wall lights and there is a really old Foscam up by the roof which is also coming down. I will look at those...

    Advise on camera locations to cover driveway

    just had a couple of 4mp Varifocal dahuas delivered to replace my single hikvision 2032 that covers our driveway, the hikvision is positioned just below the sill of the small first floor window on right of house as shown by arrow (other visible cameras are old ones) The second image is the...
