    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    When I get the camera and get it installed a post a mini-review on how it compares to the ITC437 and ITC237 (I've used both). I like the idea of having a separate 4mm overview cam that can have completely different settings.

    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    I have one on order. I like that it has a true day/night profile unlike my ITC437. Curious how the 1.2" sensor with 8mp will improve plate reads.

    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    Was just wondering if anyone here owns or has experience with this camera: iDS-2CD8A86G0-XZHSY 1050/4 It looks like a good upgrade from my ITC437, but I haven't used a Hikvision ANPR camera before.

    Where to buy HFW5241E-Z12E?

    I'm looking at the 2CD8A86G0-XZHSY 1050/4 also. Did you or anyone else on this thread ever get one? I'm running a ITC437 but I'm not a fan of the hook style mount and I'd like a 4mm overview camera with the ALPR cam.

    ITC431 versus ITC437

    I'm running one of Andy's ITC437 ANPR cams and before that ran the 237 version. Just curious if anyone is running Andy's 50mm version of the ITC431-RW1F-IRL8 and has an opinon if it is worth the upgrade over the 437? My 437 has generally worked fine but the mount on the ITC431 would work better...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    The post was a link to a script a member wrote that brought up an interface where you can check (and uncheck) boxes that disable various things, like windows updates and file indexing, location services, etc. My CPU usage is good (less than 4 percent) but the problem I'm having is Windows 11...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    Within the last couple of years I recall a post that had a link to a utility that would optimize PC settings in Windows 10 and 11 to reduce CPU usage. I actually used the utility and it worked well. I just reinstalled Windows 11 and want to use it again. I've scoured these forums and for the...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Thanks for the response. The 10 port POE switch separately connects to a different port in the Century link router and isn't between the router and the 24 port switch. For our purposes, it goes Centurylink router via cat6 to the 24 port unmanaged switch, with the 24 port switch then being...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Running into odd issue that I'm trying to narrow down. I have 1gb fiber that runs from the ONT to a Centurylink C4000XG modem/router. From the Centurylink router, two of the ports are connected by Cat6 to two unmanaged POE switches. One of the switches is a 10 port POE switch that powers 8...

    Tree sap on sensor

    I have three Dahua turret cams mounted on a tree. The cameras have performed well but on one there's a noticeable drip of tree sap that is obscuring the image. Before I head up the ladder, are there any particular cleaning agents that folks might recommend that would be effective in removing...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I went down this rabbit hole recently as I was looking for a junction box for the NCD800. On Ebay at least, this box is advertised as fitting the NCD800 and the dimensions you posted. In case this link isn't working correctly, the model number for the junction box is DS-1280ZJ-DM55. When you...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    Wow. That looks great. So what is shown in the photo fits over a Sigma junction box? If so, is there an opening for the conduit?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    I don't think think the TIOC is worth the price either, especially with that sensor and the fact that I don't intend to make use of the TIOC features. I have two FCD600s and one NDC800. The FCD600 has more than a 180 degree horizontal FOV, in my case about 10 feet more coverage on each side...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    The IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV is a TIOC version of the 4k-T180 with a less desirable 1/2.7 sensor but with an IR illuminator. Where the 4k-T180 has dual 3.6mm lenses, the TIOC version has two 2.8mm lenses. I would assume that the FOV in the TIOC version is slightly wider given the 2.8mm lenses, but...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I know there isn't an official junction box for this camera, but has anyone had luck using another readily available box for it? I want to mount on a utility pole and would like to have the connector on enclosed somehow.

    How long should POE switch last?

    Well, it turns out it wasn't the switch after all, but the cable. About 30 feet of the cable run is on the roof and after only 2 years, the cable showed significant wear on that part of the run. The jacket was split in sections but I didn't see any exposed wires, but the cable was nonetheless...

    How long should POE switch last?

    It's a remote computer so I won't know until a friend of mine stops by to check it out, but all of the cams on that switch are showing no signal on Blue Iris. I have another switch powering 10 cams on the network that are working fine. My Blue Iris computer is connected to the suspect switch and...

    How long should POE switch last?

    I'm been running a Netgear 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Switch (GS316PP) since Feb. 2021 that appears to have just gone bad. The switch is a fanless design and worked great up until it didn't and powered 14 POE cameras and one POE illuminator. It just under three years within the...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I've been in contact with Andy about the firmware for the 437. The firmware my camera shipped with is dated 2023-02-04. It uses the old interface and generally works fine. There are three other firmware files released since--one from April 2023, another from July 2023, and most recent is from...

    For anyone looking for the Annke 8mp version of this camera (the FCD800), Amazon today has it for $169.99 with an additional $51 coupon at checkout--putting at about $120USD. That's the lowest I've ever seen this camera anywhere...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'm inclined to pick up a 437 to replace my 237 while the 437s are still available (doesn't seem to many other 50mm or long range options for these cams). A couple of questions for any 437 owners out there: (1) can you send API commands to this cam using PTZ presets in Blue Iris like you can...

    I may give that a shot. I forgot to mention that I also have disk defragmentation turned off for all of the drives.

    100% CPU usage every Saturday

    I'm running a i7-9700 with Windows 10 Pro and BI version 5.7.8.3. I run 21 cams, all with substreams, 19 with 15fps and three with 20 fps, and no AI or BI motion detection (I use external triggers from the cams' AI). Normally, it runs at 15 percent CPU usage. Once a week--on Saturdays--Blue Iris...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Appreciate the response. Sounds like a headache. I'm running the July 2021 firmware which has worked okay but I was hoping the new firmware would add features, like push notifications for blacklisted plates that apparently the 437 has.

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    As someone who has run the 2mp 237 model of this camera for a couple years without problems, is there a reason to upgrade? I understand that the 437 has on board alerts for blacklisted plates, but I haven't seen it confirmed that it works reliably. I'd be inclined to upgrade if the alerts worked...
