    AC to DC rectifier search

    All, I'm looking for a rectifier that is outdoor rated and can handle a 150w transformer outputting 12v AC and convert it to 12v DC. It also needs to be able to handle a total of ~8 amps from the IR illuminators that will be attached to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Audio is delayed when watching clips

    On my 54IRs, when I go back and watch alert clips using UI3 or the console, the audio is slightly delayed during playback by 1 or 2 seconds. Is that pretty typical? Thanks

    Putting two new cameras online soon... settings question

    Is there a way to export settings from an existing same model and same firmware camera and import them to a new camera? It's pretty tedious going through each and every setting to make sure I have everything set up like the others. Thanks

    Direct burial cable recommendation

    It’s been almost 8 years since we built our house. At that time, I ran several Cat5e runs to outdoor cameras using direct burial cable. Just recently I’ve had issues with one camera that’s ~270 feet from the PoE switch in the garage. Cable tester shows there’s a short somewhere. Rather than...

    I have a situation that I would like any of you network gurus to consider

    I have a POE switch in my garage, and from that switch a 200 foot ethernet cable to a 54IR camera from Andy. A few days ago this camera quit working and showed no signal in Blue Iris and I was also unable to connect to it via a web browser. I took an very old spare camera that I had and...

    54IR operating temperature

    I was adjusting one of my 54IRs today and notice the outside of the camera ball felt pretty hot. I got my thermal heat measuring gun and it showed the temperature to be 127°. Is that within the range? Thanks

    Question about IVS alerts from camera via ONVIF

    I’m using onboard IVS triggers from my 54IRs to trigger alerts in BI via ONVIF. Recently, I’ve decided to play around and see how UniFi Protect works, since I have a full UniFi network. Protect supports third party cameras by using ONVIF to receive alerts from each adopted camera. In order...

    License Plate reading image

    This is the alert image from the built-in AI. Does that mean it didn't continue evaluating images to see the license plate? None of the three images from this trigger show the license plate. What can be done to correct this? Thanks!

    Testing v6 and seeing issues with my ONVIF in-camera notifications

    I 100% use the in-camera AI to trigger alerts in BI. I started testing v6 today and noticed that my ONVIF alert notifications are different than what they were in v5. When these triggers occur, the notification I'm receiving in UI3 and the iOS app doesn't say "Vehicle" any more, instead it says...

    Bitrate setting on my 54IRs, can it be too high and effect BI performance?

    I'm working with Ken right now to troubleshoot a performance issue when viewing the live stream of a camera in UI3. Here is my main stream encode setting used on all of my 54IRs. Would I lose any noticeable picture quality by reducing the Bit Rate to 8192 or 4096? How about the Compression...

    Struggling to dial in front door camera settings to improve quality

    I have 3 IPC-E35IR-AS-3.6mm cameras from Andy @EMPIRETECANDY installed at each of my entry doors to the house. Clip and snapshot image capture is great at night. Daytime capture, particularly early morning and at dusk, is not so great. The snapshot image shows some motion blur and a little dark...

    Queue JPEG Post stopped working

    I have an event scheduled on each camera to save a JPEG every day at sunset. I've been using this event for years and then I noticed yesterday that none of the cameras successfully stored the event in the destination. I scheduled another event to test this morning, and it didn't work. I even...

    How to re-trigger when using ONVIF alerts from the camera?

    I use AI detection from my 54IRs to trigger alerts for people and wildlife. Sometimes the subject stays in frame for a while. Is there a way to have BI to continue to record the main stream until the subject leaves the FOV? Thanks

    Need a new POE splitter to power camera and separate IR

    I installed a camera several years ago using a POE splitter to power it and an IR. Just recently, I noticed that camera is only running at 10 mbps instead of 100 mbps. I've reset the camera and POE switch to that camera multiple times, but the issue remains. I'm left thinking the old POE...

    Adding more storage for clips

    I currently have around 9 TBs of storage in my BI PC as a second drive. Given that I have 12 cameras, I can only store about 4 days worth of clips with continuos recording. So instead, I use Continuos Sub +Triggered. I would prefer continuos recording, so what are my options? Would an external...

    Camera ONVIF trigger alerts in Blue Iris - Considering using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection

    If I'm using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection to trigger ONVIF for Vehicles, does the first trigger win, or could using both of these at the same time cause two triggers in BI? Thanks
