    System upgrade question

    Good to know. I'll have to look at all the options. I guess I could run an internal power and sata cable to a HDD that is outside of the case and install that HDD in some type of enclosure. I'll figure it out, but I'm not going to be doing this now I guess. I've decided to wait until Spring to...

    System upgrade question

    Yes, it does have an optical disk drive. I would have to find the room to put another drive in though, that is more of the issue. I think the HP Elitedesk is just my easiest bet.

    System upgrade question

    Yep, that's why this forum is so nice. Great minds giving good advice. It looks like I will either get an HP Elitedesk 800 SFF, or maybe even some type of real small tower. I will have to make it fit in a rack like the HP Elitedesk 800 I have in there now, but we'll find something.

    System upgrade question

    In the next several months I will be upgrading a guys system. It has 26 cameras at this time with several more maybe (just maybe) in the near future. Well, we need something with a little more beef and I have found some nice reasonable options. I just did a server with the Dell Precision 33450...

    Cleaning the camera lens

    What do you use to clean your camera lens when they get dirty enough that they need to be cleaned? Thanks.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    All setup and ready to go. I don't know if I will keep it touring or not. Probably not, after this. It works well.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Oh, that is an interesting idea. I think I had seen that somewhere before, but had never thought of doing it. Is there a tutorial on how to do that. I think I really like the idea and would like to experiment with it if I would be able to figure out how to do it. Thanks for the suggestion.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Yes, agreed. If there would not have been 3 stationary cameras covering the area, I wouldn't have even thought about it. But now we can have zooms of the tanks and a much closer view of multiple things on the site. Granted, the PTZ will be missing other captures, but it already misses a bunch...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I have another question for the great minds on here. My friend has another PTZ at his site in the country. It is a bin site, plus it is an anhydrous distribution facility. He needs cameras watching the site to make sure druggies don't come and steal the anhydrous for making meth. He had a...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I finally think I got the tour group to work the way I want it to. I only wish the stay time could be less than 15 seconds, but it is what it is. At least it works like I want it to.

    Increase sensitivity on a PTZ5A4K-25X

    I had that exact scenario with tripwire and intrusion, but when I added fast moving, it helped make it better. I don't know why fast moving would do it, but it reacts much better now.

    Increase sensitivity on a PTZ5A4K-25X

    I do use IVS, so I'll take a look and try the tracking size to see what happens.

    Increase sensitivity on a PTZ5A4K-25X

    SMD? How small would you suggest for the tracking target size ratio? Thanks.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Okay, I can get the scan to work to go back and forth, and all setup on a schedule. It works great, but with scan I can't get it to stay at the end point for any given time. I can get the tour group to stay in place for a given time, but I'm having issues. All I need it to do is go back and...

    Webplugin issue

    I found the damn plug in. I searched through all the apps and there was an app that had no name at all. I just said uninstall. I clicked uninstall and it brought up a bunch of jibberish. I went through with the uninstall and everything now works. Now if I could only get the stupid text at the...

    Webplugin issue

    In Firefox there is no webplugin and in the plugin there are 2. One by Widevine and the other by Cisco. There is nothing. In chrome there is a google docs extension, and the same for Edge. Nothing for webplugin.

    Webplugin issue

    The plugin doesn't seem to install, but has just made all browsers unusable on this machine. I wonder if I uninstall the browser and see if that helps. I guess I don't understand why a company would make something that still works with IE that is totally outdated. Well, I can't do anything to...

    Webplugin issue

    I just set up a new Dahua PTZ on a new Blue Iris server. When I open up the Dahua in the PTZ gui at the bottom would always pop up the wording saying to view this install webplugin. I clicked to install, but ever since I did, I am now not able to view the camera in its gui. It seems the...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Okay, great. I do have a question for you about tour as compared to scan. All I need to do is pan about 200 degrees. Start on the left and pan right until it gets to about the 200 degree mark and then go back at the same speed, back and forth until sunset. No zooming, no nothing other than back...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    You mean like upside down (inverted)? If you mean upside down for inverted, no. It is your standard mount type of a PTZ.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    After looking at videos of people setting up the tour setting and using that, I don't think that is what I need. I won't need to zoom or do anything like that at all. All we need to do is go back and forth slowly looking at the sky since it is mainly a weather camera. I think I just need to...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    Yeah, these are the PTZ cams with the new GUIs. They are the PTZ5A4K-25X. Nice cameras for sure. I'll try to find a tutorial on it, but there are not many out there with the new gui.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I'll look to find the proper way of doing this, and see if it is something he really wants to do. Is it literally the word patrol? I don't find that. I find tour, scan, etc.

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I was playing with it today. What it would be like is that it would be a very, very slow #1 speed pan. To go from the one side to the other I think it took almost 2 minutes. I would have a pause at the one stop for several minutes, and then start again, so I'm guessing that if I set it up the...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    I know I have seen people say that if a person sets a PTZ to tour or scan, that it will shorten it's life. How much? Does anyone know? My friend that I just installed a PTZ for wants to do this. It is actually a weather cam and he wants to pan about a 200 degree area looking at the sky. It will...

    I don't use it much, but how do I exclude BI folders from a scan? I'll look and see if I can find it.

    Windows Security Question

    On your Blue Iris Server, what settings of Windows Security to you have on and off? Just curious what everyone is doing. My BI server is dedicated to BI only. Nothing else is on it. I very rarely use it to browse, but sometimes have to, but like I said rarely. Thanks.

    Dell Precision 3450 with i5 11600 and Quadro P620

    That's what I was hoping you would say. Thanks. I just wasn't sure. I was hoping to hear from an expert, but you answered, so I guess I'll go by what you say. LOL:lol:
