    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Weather here can come from almost any direction. In my second video you can see the cloud movement change direction several times. At one point it looks like the upper and lower level clouds are going different directions! Here's my 4231. It's been up there for over a year with no problems. I...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    OK, my wallet is cringing right now as the chances of a HF8835F purchase just went up. How were you able to confirm the sensor type? The IMX294CJK looks insane from specs. This sensor has both Exmor R and STARVIS tech baked in. Looking forward to your 4239 results also!

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Thanks for the detailed response @tangent Orginally I was considering PTZ's but my view to the north, west and east has a too many trees and roof tops for my liking. I also need a wide angle as I want to get in as much of the mountains as I can and still cover the sky to the south. I've...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    I'm shooting at slow shutter speed (1/5s) and full color. You have to turn off the backlight to get down that low. Then I use the profile scheduler to switch between my day/night settings at sunrise and sunset. I record to blue iris and then export my video from there and bring it into CyberLink...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    Thanks, I realized the additional benefits of the 4239 after I responded. However, I'm shooting at very slow shutter speeds for my night scenes and that is where the HF8835F and it's large sensor seem to have the advantage. HF8835F 0.0005Lux/F0.95 (Color,1/3s,30IRE) vs HFW4239T-ASE...

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    My 4231 already has the 1/2.8 STARVIS sensor with starlight and is 2.8mm for wide angle. I'm looking to upgrade from that.

    Dahua sky watching camera recommendation?

    I'm running a IPC-HDBW4231F-AS on my roof for sky watching and I'm considering an upgrade. I've made several time lapse videos with footage I've captured with this camera and it's been a lot fun. I'm considering the IPC-HF8835F partnered with a 12mm ultra wide angle lens as a replacement. I want...

    Time lapse

    Hi Everyone, I created a quick little time lapse with the Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-AS I have mounted on my roof. I've been running my 9-camera Dahua/Blue Iris system for close to a year now and have learned a ton from this forum. Thanks to everyone that contributes!

    Took a lightning strike today

    My current plan to solve this problem is to put grounded surge protectors on both ends of my fence cams since they have outdoor runs. The rest of my cams with indoor runs are going to get grounded surge protection on the inside before hitting the switch. I hope this enough to give me a little...

    Took a lightning strike today

    I found out from neighbors that saw it hit that it struck the ground about two house's down from me. I have two cameras that are about 20ft out from my house mounted on fences. I wonder if the surge came in from one of these and zapped my switch. My security camera switch is isolated from the...

    Took a lightning strike today

    I just took a direct or nearly direct lightning strike. Was seeing some lightning in the area and seconds after I grabbed my 3 year old and stepped inside a simultaneous flash and boom. Not sure exactly where it hit but it was close. I have 7 cameras outside my home cabled using utp and...

    convert/export time-lapse option greyed out

    I want to export some video with high-speed playback but the options are greyed out under convert/export. The help file doesn't even mention these options either. What am I doing wrong here? I've tried selecting different options and nothing is unlocking them.

    Android app crashing

    I have the same problem. We use a Samsung Galaxy tablet and it crashes frequently with "Unfortunately, Blue Iris has stopped" message. Some times it will run for several hours without crashing while other times it won't run for more than a few minutes. I've tried reinstalling the app, testing on...

    Blue Iris

    You can still run BI as a service and do this. The BI service will logon as local system account by default. This needs to be changed to an account that has access to the share. I'm not running a domain at home so I have an account on my BI machine with the same name and password as an account...

    4.5.7.1

    I should have added some notes about CPU utilization on my i7-6700. With one android tablet streaming, and the console open on my server, I'm seeing around 45% cpu. Console closed, with one android streaming and down to 25%. Very nice. With no live viewing going on I'm about 15-18%. That's with...

    4.5.7.1

    Did some more testing on my side. Lag I was seeing was due to devices not switching to the closest AP while I walking around my house testing.. doh! I run my cameras at 20 fps and I'm getting close to that in 4-cam group view. In index view with all 8 of my cameras I'm getting around 10 fps. Big...

    Still buggy for me. I now have several seconds of lag in multi-camera views on android.

    Ken acknowledged that it's not working yet. He said he found some more FPS limits that need to be removed. Should be in the next update.

    FPS rate limit?

    I just updated to test this. I set the all cameras fps to 20 and fired up the android app. I first went to the cycle camera view and I thought it was working as BI was reporting 20 fps on my tablet's connection. Then I noticed there is a several second lag in the video. Then I switched to the...

    I know, Ken replied to me and said he was adding it.. very cool.

    Is Blue Iris that much better than iVMS-4200?

    Be aware that BI caps web streaming fps at 5 fps for all cameras view and 15 fps for single camera or cycle views. If you're planning on watching your cams on Android/IOS or remotely in a web browser this is what you get. If you want to view video at the fps you have your cameras set to the only...

    FPS rate limit?

    Those are defined as the encoder profiles "Streaming 0" "Streaming 1" and "Streaming 2" in the webserver settings.

    FPS rate limit?

    I've tried adjusting all the web server settings and nothing changes that fps lock of 5 and 15 fps. If I lower the bitrate too low I get blocky image quality. Right now I'm running at 2048. I'm just curious what fps others are getting while viewing in the android app. It appears that the fps...

    FPS rate limit?

    I noticed that BI is limiting my FPS while viewing in Android. I max out at 5 fps in all cameras view and 15 fps in single camera view even though my cameras are all configured to 20 fps. Is there anywhere to change this setting that I'm missing? I've been over everything and I don't get it why...

    weather cam recommendation

    Thanks for the tips @wxman . I will have plenty of terrain in the view as I'll mainly be looking out at the horizon and occasionally trying to spot wildlife out in the open space. It's tempting to go with the cheaper SD49225U as I really don't have any need for auto tracking in this location...

    weather cam recommendation

    I might just do that. I have to make another cable run into my attic first. Spray in fiberglass insulation up there so it's no fun. That's actually the easy part. Hard part is convincing the wife I need another camera :)

    weather cam recommendation

    Leaning towards going with one of the Dahua starlight PTZ's for this. Even though the color accuracy might be slightly off its going to look much better during low light hours. The Hikvision DS-2DF8223I-AEL DarkFighter would be nice but at nearly twice the cost as the Dahua SD59225U-HNI its hard...

    weather cam recommendation

    I'd love to put a PTZ up there but I'm not sure I want to risk a $300+ camera up there with the crazy spring hail storms we can get here.
