Hi Wanted to share a website I found that might be useful when comparing Optiplex models. The specs listed seem comprehensive. https://www.hardware-corner.net/compare/ Regards

just done it, absolutely perfect and even better than my original request. For those in the future. Camera settings - General > Groups -- Select Create a new profile or select an existing one. When you go to the ipad, you will have All Cameras at the top and the newly created Group

thanks for the quick replies. I wasn't aware of groups, i'll check that out now

Hi All, I have 10 cams running but only want to show 4 on an ipad, this will be used to keep an eye open for deliveries whilst on conference calls. My first thought was to use profiles and make a "delivery" profile making the unwanted cameras inactive in this new profile. I'll be dammed if I...

Cheers for that, very detailed

Price seems OK as well £17. Talking of software, do you use it with BI by any chance? Would love to see a photo of your doorbell setup as well if you have time. Cheers

Hi All, Looking for recommendations for small IP (POE) cameras for use internally, external would be an added bonus but not really a critical thing. I was looking at the Blink XT as it's small and unobtrusive, dare I even say, it has a reasonably nice design ;-) Only prob lem, it's not POE and...

Hi All, I've configured my Unifi USG to use 802.1x authentication on my cam VLAN, i've created a IPCam user for Radius and entered the username and password into the network>advanced settings on my various Hik Cams. I can see from my client list in the Unifi dashboard that they are falling...

Still not available in the UK either unfortunately, i'll try and find an equivalent phone number, cheers for the tip

Hi All, Does anyone own/know if the newly announced Hub Max is a full Android OS and can install apps i.e. Blue Iris. Seem to be reading conflicting information. I'm still on the waiting list in the UK so can't find out for myself just yet. Cheers

@aristobrat thank you so much for the explanation, very useful and cheers for the link to the review, hadn't seen that one on my travels. I don't think i'd get away with multiple cameras for different purposes, WAF is low with 8 cams and i'm already getting questioned about my 12 cam plan...

So, i've been having a think, are there any recommendations for a turret camera, starlight that get as close to 8MP as possible my overall objective is a healthy balance between day and night performance, I don't want to really compromise either but reality dictates that I probably will have...

@TL1096r much appreciated wow, my current setup is running 505MP/s and they're just a bunch of cheapo cams I think the answer to my original question of what would break 1st with everything turned up to 11 is sort of answered.....my bank balance ;-) I have got quite a bit of new information...

thanks for the breakdown and I didn't even know BI told me this, i'll get looking for it Reading is all i've been doing for days but with so much information to learn, digest and cross reference, it becomes a Herculean task, hence the outreach Do you have a more specific suggestion than the...

I have been chatting on another thread about using multiple 8MP cameras and from what I can tell, i'll need the computing power of NASA to run it ;-) I'm starting to think at this point that 8MP cameras are a little too new with regards to night vision and the computing power required to run...

From another thread i've been discussing 8MP cameras and IPC-HDW5831R-ZE seems to be promising camera. 12 of these, Cray supercomputer or a more moderately priced i7 / push the boat out i9 ?

@fenderman been reading the wiki but can't really seem to place my finger on the correlation between setup size and requirements, there are some general guides around CPUs etc... The bit which did seem to indicate CPU was the "which CPU do i actually buy" then it makes reference to MP/s, can...

So I spent most of last night trying to sort this. After spending way too much time, I decided to delete all my firewall rules (USG Pro) and cameras and effectively start from scratch. TBH, should have done that from the start, I spent about 2 hours getting it back to where it was and I...

I don't believe i'm using BI ddns and don't recall ever setting anything like that up. I have a fixed IP address with my ISP Strange thing is, I had it working no problem, then it stopped working a couple of weeks ago, there has been a lot of updates to BI5 in that time and I put it down to...

Hi All Is some service/server down? I can't connect on any of my mobile devices, pretty sure i've not changed anything on my end. Even when connected to my home wifi I can't connect from my phone. Any help/pointers?

@aristobrat, cheers for that, super helpful about the triggered day/night profile I really like the design of the IPC-HDW5831R-ZE, (from an aesthetic POV), very smart looking, doesn't appear to be a starlight though, unless i'm reading the specs wrong, (probably), I can't see any mention of the...

Hi All Looking for some advice about a new system. Before I go on, I know there will be suggestions about VBR and lowering fps etc, but I am genuinely curious to know what would be needed and what bottlenecks would arise around pushing everything to maximum. Looking at a mixture of...

wow, that's quite an in-depth review. are there equivalent cameras in a turret format? As a side note, my current Hik cameras have "auto switch" and "scheduled switch" for day and night settings. In "scheduled switch" I have greater control over the settings, for day and night independently...

Thanks for the replies and nice to see that the tech is moving along. 15fps is not really what i'm after so thanks for mentioning that. I appreciate that CCTV and 15fps seem to be a popular choice, but if the camera is capable of more then really, i'd like to use it, network and storage are...

Hi All, Been reading a lot recently as I want to overhaul my entire camera system, spent a few years "playing" now I would like to get a little more serious. I'm very interested in the idea of 4k resolution but i'm reading a LOT that they are pretty awful at night. Is there any movement in...

Hi All, Has anyone used a shuttle pro v2 controller for Blue Iris, using the jog/shuttle wheel to control the playback direction and speed of the captured clips. I'd be interested to know how you configured it. Cheers

@fenderman, cheers, appreciate the insight and update, i've got my eye on a very reasonably priced full system on ebay right now, i5 4570 with 8GB ram @giomania, interesting point, i'll have a little investigation I think i need to change my sig to "sooo much to learn" ;-)

Cheers for that. How well does the 2500 handle my requirements, is it "barely" good enough and very much an entry point or is it more than capable? I'm looking to spend about £150 for the CPU and mobo, the other components I already have lying around. The overlays are more for remote viewing...

Hi All, Looking for sensible recommendations for a CPU 5 Hikvision cameras @3MP each I use overlays Direct to disc recording 25fps I have this running on my dev machine (i7 4820k / 64GB Ram) and it runs very well, 23% CPU usage. I would like to setup a dedicated machine but don't want the...
