    Roast My Design Plan, Or Suggest Improvements :)

    Haha honestly I thought it had decent performance in low light. Thanks for the heads up, definitely not planning to keep the area lit! Moonlight is really the only thing going.

    Roast My Design Plan, Or Suggest Improvements :)

    New home build going up and a few weeks away from getting ethernet installed. Will be installing myself. Home is on an 18 acre lot, private road with few neighbors and few traffic. Wooded lot with a few acres cleared. Moving from a congested area and want some camera coverage for a few...

    Sentry Smart Alerts is too expensive for me

    So I actually think the pricing here is pretty fair, so long as the accuracy is good. I have not yet tested this myself, as I want alerts for things more than just people. However, comments that AI image processing is taxing is not true. Consider the camera based system Tesla uses for its self...

    Recommend Server off Ebay to run Blue Iris and Plex media server in seperate VM's?

    Silly for your use case maybe, but consolidated systems can be incredibly efficient when used properly! Not to mention the Intel hardware acceleration works well for certain use-cases, and is actually more inefficient in others! OP asked for some advise on such a box and OP got some advice on...

    Recommend Server off Ebay to run Blue Iris and Plex media server in seperate VM's?

    I doubt you save too much money over a new Ryzen build but you can check out some of the e5's on eBay. I scored 2 of them and a dual socket Mobo for 200 bucks. e5-2670's. Long term though you'll lose out on power cost, however I've got mine running a shit load of VMs including Blue Iris and it...

    Recommend Server off Ebay to run Blue Iris and Plex media server in seperate VM's?

    Go with a higher end Ryzen or a Threadripper. Look in to setting up unRaid and then run Plex as a docker and utilize a VM for you BI server. You can lock different cores to each docker/VM, and therefore maintain great performance. Absolutely no need to keep things separate, IF you are slightly...

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    Which Dahua are priced equivalent to the Reolinks(~$75 shipped) and perform better, if you dont mind me asking. I am looking to grab a Starlight or two for a couple of critical and quite dark areas, but have other areas that dont necessitate the extreme low light performance and would love to...

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    4096 certainly is working better, however the video quality is still abysmal, imo. I should clarify, movement in video has abysmal quality. Stills are quite gorgeous. As for the wiring, i have it all wired to cat5e. I made all of the runs myself, and tested the lines with a laptop for...

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    Thanks for the reply! I actually already adhered to the above recommendations. Also, I do run at 10fps, but I do/have tested at 30 to see if the camera is capable of what it claims. Still have crap night time quality, IMO. Quite good, and usable during the day, but borderline useless at night...

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Just grabbed a IPC-HDW4231EM-AS to replace my crappy ESCAM covering my front lawn. Before ESCAM replacement, will drop it in the backyard in place of my Reolink 410 and then garage in place of my 422 to see about a total replacement. The ESCAM has started giving me serious connection issues(and...

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    I am getting crap FPS at night. 4...5. It is better in day, but still not 30fps when I have the cameras set that high. I have them turned down to 10 now and I float around there during the day. Video is also quite.... All the stills look sharp but motion is blurry as can be, to the point of...
