    BI setup and image detection

    perhaps I need to try it again. It was unviewable previously and everything was grainy, etc, to the point where it made no sense to even record 24/7 in that format. I know too I had lots of issues with vbr to cbr as the vbr is notoriously bad on the 5442 it seems .

    BI setup and image detection

    Found a substream2 option, don't remember it originally. It allows me to set image at 1080p, 720,etc. I think this should get me past the problem with the substream2 quality being horrible. Need to test with this and also mess with the detection zones, both camera and bi. I recall looking at it...

    varifocal setup

    I am accessing it wifi to the Lan ip, not via the internet. I think it is just the ui/software being clunky as hell. Click, wait, save, review, repeat It's a shame, cause otherwise it is a good camera.

    varifocal setup

    Got it thanks. Am I doing it right if I am in the web ui of the camera? It is very clunky and the settings often delay as I click. Making sure the headaches it creates is just the way.

    varifocal setup

    Curious as this is not something I gave lots of thought to when trying to get dialed in. If I zoom to get the image to capture my desired area, what do i do with focus? Currently it is right in the middle, however, it is my front door, so would it be better to instead set focus to near as that...

    BI setup and image detection

    what about quality? I know we call these 4k and even 8k cameras but is that resolution even required when it hits the disk? Does it make sense to record at 1080p? As you note, I am not making an epic of package deliveries. when you mention using BI or camera ONVIF for detection, is this to...

    BI setup and image detection

    When I first started to set things up, I jumped right to the 2 camera AI trigger setup in BI. That is, I set up the AI tool with deepstack image detection, and from there, triggered the second camera with higher resolution recording. However, I have long thought about this setup and thought...

    Why I Like Redundant Views/Multiple Cam Views

    Excellent stuff, thank you. Any reason to be in the window like this and not in the eve with the wires in the attic? Or is that not accessible? Just looking to learn and get ideas from design decisions.

    Why I Like Redundant Views/Multiple Cam Views

    I need to see if I have any similar option, thats not bad if the blinds can still close properly. I have similar wooden blinds.

    Why I Like Redundant Views/Multiple Cam Views

    For the cameras in the upstairs windows, how did you go about mounting them? Are those rooms or dormers as I am sure that changes the strategy/techniques

    rolling bands in image at night

    This is all awesome. I will need to play with it. 1/120,definitely resolved it, proving all theories here that it is from the lights and only tweaking the settings can resolve the problem. Thanks guys. I'm just glad to know it is not because I am doing something wrong and in fact it is a...

    rolling bands in image at night

    seems to only happen when I have shutter priority at 1/500. As I played with it and the settings, when I got to 1/100 I no longer see them. Also, I do not see them on the daytime image

    rolling bands in image at night

    so, when the weather was warm, my night images were normal. now that the weather cooled, I was reviewing footage and I see these rolling bands vertically in the image. they roll left to right. camera is a 5442 I have no idea if it is temperature related, but I wanted to make it known...

    Motion detection seems hit or miss, looking for some advice

    Got it. Seems behavior is different if I set camera to dahua vs generic / onvif, hope that's all it is.

    Motion detection seems hit or miss, looking for some advice

    Is that to imply that "pulling onvif events" means the camera is doing the motion detection and this is then triggering blue iris as it records the feed?

    Motion detection seems hit or miss, looking for some advice

    I have the IPC-t5442t and the camera itself is quite good. It is my first camera, so my issue can be user error/configuration issue or a misunderstanding. My setup is to record 24/7 from the substream and then on motion BI snaps an image and the AI add-on tells BI to record the HD feed. The...

    Tips and tricks for cameras when having lightning on house

    This is awesome, I never would ha e given any consideration to lower cameras like that. Now it just gets the mind going about how to add more cameras. Rely on a main wired and add a cheaper wireless one like ezviz. Or, run another wire or invest in a unifi flex switch to split the one poe into...

    Tips and tricks for cameras when having lightning on house

    Agreed. I plan to order a shelly 1 for the rocker switch that is there now and implement it into a similar plan that can adjust accordingly with the rising/setting sun and adjust on its own. Color there is key. While I will likely never get to the point of 11 cameras at the front of the...

    Tips and tricks for cameras when having lightning on house

    not to take over this thread, but to add another thought to lighting and color vs IR/BW. The one relies solely on light being present, which is fine, but what is the trade-off and thinking. Is IR/BW configured, tweaked and set to auto for those cases the light might get turned off? Setting...

    Tips and tricks for cameras when having lightning on house

    Looking at these pictures raises a new question about strategy. What is the ideal strategy, exterior light illuminating the yard or IR. I ask because I noticed my IR video is quite crap at night, so I turned it off and it seemed as though the image actually improved. While still B/W, I saw...
