    deepstack GPU installation guide?

    I'm just getting my feet wet on installing deepstack, and using the GPU install. wading through getting cuDNN installed, etc ... that alone is a little murky. Before I dissect the instructions on Nvidia's site, is there a more digestable guide to getting deepstack GPU version up and running?

    Has anyone run BI on a QNAP TVS-472XT?

    Obviously would have to be in a VM --- I'm currently running in a stand alone PC, wondering if anyone has any positive experiences doing this. Just upgraded mine to a 9900t, 2x m.2 2tb cahce drives, 4x 10tb barraccudas, and 32gb ram. I understand the general consensus has been for a while that...

    recomondations on wifi, battery operated camera for temporary use at construction site?

    ok, good to know :-) given my limnitations for now -- running off a hotspot (limited wifi range) , no electricity, and can't mount anything permanently yet, ring may just be the best

    recomondations on wifi, battery operated camera for temporary use at construction site?

    I'm not tied to solar, just have to use a battery. Anyway, reolink looks a bit better-- higher resolutoin, faster bps, and battery life doesn't seem terrible.

    new construction -- camera placement?

    from the top corner of the garage (north right corner on the gif) to the bottom corner front of the house (south right corner on the gif) is about 70' the bottom (south on the pic) is about 45 feet

    recomondations on wifi, battery operated camera for temporary use at construction site?

    like I said, it's doing a serviceable job, but not great. The ring cameras take snapshots every 30 seconds. The motion detection is an issue as you mentioned, but I have them grouped together so that if any one of the cameras sense motion, all of them start recording. As for the battery power...

    recomondations on wifi, battery operated camera for temporary use at construction site?

    currently building a new house-- it's on the shore/beach, and is pretty visible... finished framining the third story, and want to add in some cameras to watch over the site while I'm/construction guys aren't there. Right now no doors, windows, and barely sealed against the elements, won't be...

    new construction -- camera placement?

    building a new house on the water -- around 7,000 square foot, three stories. Here's the footprint, I'm thinking around 6 cameras or so from andy on the first floor should do it, where I put the arrows, then maybe a camera on the second or third story on the front/back/side of the house to get...

    recording most recent clips to cloud?

    yeah, that's one thing I'm thinking of doing. I have unlimited space on drop, it just seems to really not like files that are changing while being uploaded ... totally wigs out.

    recording most recent clips to cloud?

    I have plenty of local storage, but trying to store at least 4-5 past days to the cloud. I have dropbox business, but it just really isn't working -- it doesn't know what to do with files that are constantly changing... seems like it never gets past checking the BI folder (even though I'm only...

    recording JUST substream?

    pretty much what was said above... create a clone of your cameras, edit the primary stream so that it refers to the the substream (in dhua, change "subtype=0" to "subtype=1") Then change where you store video for that camera in the clips tab, so you're not storing hi res and low res in the same...

    actually... no worries. pretty sure I figured it out.

    recording JUST substream?

    My current setup has 18 cameras recording 24/7, at 4k resolution. Needless to say, this is a lot of disk space -- which isn't a problem locally-- but I'm also mirroring some of the most recent video to online cloud storage. But it's still a ton of files, to the point where the cloud app is...

    BI/ Dhaua IPC-HFW81230E-ZE going out of focus

    I'm currently running a BI 5.0 system with 14 Dhaua IPC-HFW81230E-ZE purchased from Andy. All are working fine, except one of them keeps going out of focus-- this happens every day, when it switches from day to night, it goes out of focus and stays out of focus until I switch it back. I've...

    BI on an x99 platform -- which processor .. more cores/lower clock or fewer cores/higher clock?

    for what it's worth, the 2699 made a massive, massive difference .. went from 90+% cpu usage on the 6850k, now down to 25-30% with the 2699, for practically the same tdp. Granted, not what I'd recommend for a BI setup and certainly not efficient, but saved me from having to spend money to get...

    well, just got the 22 core e5-2699 .. I'll drop it in later today and report back.

    Backup to the Cloud?

    you can do that in BI. and then set dropbox to delete anything off the cloud that is deleted locally.

    Blue Iris design considerations - 26+ camera system

    0 days does seem excessive Could also keep first 7-14 days local, then offload to a cloud service.

    BI on an x99 platform -- which processor .. more cores/lower clock or fewer cores/higher clock?

    I'm currently running BI on an older x99 platform (I know this is not an ideal platform for BI since it doesn't have quicksync -- It's a system I already had and cost me nothing). I'm currently running a 6850k (other specs -- 64gig ddr 4 ram, samgg 980pro nvme boot/3x 10tb wd red drives). I'm...

    POE switch that runs off.. incoming POE?

    I just ran a POE wire from house to our dock... dug it by hand (way too rocky for a machine), buried the wire, hooked up the camera.. and realized I want two cameras down there. I don't want to re-run another wire. and I have no power down there either. Are there any switches that take a POE...

    Dahua IPC-HFW81230E-ZE won't focus...

    Thanks -- running 2.622.0000004.0.R, Build Date: 2018-06-25, downloaded from one of andy's posts. I'll try a factory reset Thanks, through trial and error last night I found that zooming it in a touch -- I have it zoomed completely out, zooming it in a notch or two fixes the focus issue-- I'll...

    Dahua IPC-HFW81230E-ZE won't focus...

    purchased a IPC-HFW81230e-ZE from Andy, thing will not focus -- it goes out of focus at night, I tried going directly to the camera web ip address and manually focus it, but by the next day, it's out of focus again. I tried upgrading to latest firmware, now it just stays our of focus.. any ideas?

    help optimize my system..

    OK, that's helpful. I can live with 35-40% usage, the computer isn't being used for anything else really. just seemed high, made me think I had a setting off somewhere.

    help optimize my system..

    just upgraded to BI 5, and overall CPU usage seems high -- I'm consistently running around 35-40%... any thoughts on my config? (note, I understand this build is probably slight overkill for BI, just stuff I had laying around): Hardware: i9-900k/32g ddr4 samsung 970pro 1tb boot drive, 3x wd...

    Anyone running bi in a vm?

    Hmm, I'll have to look into it more, I dont think I'm running limit decoding, but I'll check. And just to be clear, I'm not debating that a dedicated box is the best option. Plainly it is. And I've built a machine based on much of the sage advice in this forum, this is more of a experiment...
