    Deep Sentinel - Anyone used them?

    Seems like they offer UNV cameras and their systems/monitoring can work with existing camera setups. They also provide monitoring of the cameras for a fee....Just wondering if anyone else has used them and what they think about it? Is it worth it for someone that wants simplicity and doesn't...

    Indoor Cameras

    Hi all, Neighbor got robbed recently and he knows I'm a camera fanatic. He asked for advice on cameras, but he is primarily looking for indoor cameras since he has a bunch of outside cameras already (he only needs 1 or 2 more outdoor cameras covering trails to his house). I'm a bit worried...

    Storage - How much free space?

    How much free space are you leaving? I have about 15% free space (1TB). Is that too much? I also don't understand how blue iris distinguishes between "allocated free space" and "extra free space"? See below.

    Image Format Size? Anamorphic?

    Hi All, What do you set your image format size to? Should this match my cameras resolution in their GUI? I unchecked forced anamorphic, and then the camera resets with the 848 X 480 image format, which isnt the resolution. I have 4MP dahua cameras by the way and run substreams. Thanks,

    Filter Alerts for Specific Cameras or a Group of Cameras

    Hi! I have 7 cameras and one of them is a PTZ which captures movement all day of my cul-de-sac. I like to view all alerts from all my cameras APART from my PTZ camera. I still wish to get alerts on the camera, but when playing back or viewing alerts i only wish to see those cameras that...

    Blurry streams and ghosts

    Can someone help me figure out what’s going on here. When I watch video playback on blue iris the motion often blurs or there’s a ghost figure. But when I watch directly from the cameras storage on my Remote Desktop, the video playback is clear and fine. I almost think the box detection is...

    Connecting through ui3 and ZeroTier is showing FPS at 1-5, even though I’ve set cameras at 15. Any idea why? My cpu is at 20-40%.

    I have an eight gen computer with 16gb ram running windows 10 on dual NIC and only seven 4mp Dahua cameras 5442. It’s really odd. Anyone else experience this? I’m currently traveling overseas in China - would that have anything to do with it? I run the cameras on 264 at 8164 bitrate. If I...

    Should I place a camera(Dahua 5442 starlight) in the corner(1 in picture) or to the left after the light(2 in picture)

    Anyone have an opinion? I’m hesitant to place it in 1 because I think the light may impact the video quality, thus place it in spot 2. Or are both spots fine? I plan to point to the left black gate (the entrance to the front door). Let me know. Thanks,
