    Does anyone run BI on a very low power box and let the camera's do all the work with ONVIF triggers?

    Like many people here I run an I7 that looks after BI for me, and it is mostly under stressed despite doing all of the motion detection and AI. I've heard a few people mention they use in camera AI to trigger BI via ONVIF, and it got me thinking, how low can I go?

    Blue Iris Object Detection query

    Quick question re object detection. I activated it and it appears to have killed motion detection for objects that stay within a single zone without crossing zones. Can anyone confirm or deny if BI reads that setting as object travels X pixels on substream AND crosses zones. Is there a way to...

    The new IPC-HDW5449H-ASE-D2?

    So I was looking at options for going full colour. Lots of lights with 5442 turrets? Or do I go dual sensor? One of the things that was discouraging me from going Dual sensor were issues around depth of field at night. F1.0 with near focus to 2m does not exactly result in a large depth of...

    Adaptor Plate Idea for upgrading Dahua Cameras

    Ever Tried to put a square peg into a round hole? That's the dilemma I'm facing currently with replacing some older Dahua Domes, several HDBW4431R-ZS which just aren't up to par any more. The IPC-HDBW5442R-S or IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE will replace these domes as their dimensions and pattern are...

    G'day Forum, I've got some scotsman in me, so my favourite price of things is free. Today I've discovered Sighthound ALPR and have it working on my System. It keeps nominating Finland and Poland as the source of my very Australian Plates, and it reads accurately so far, but the demo didn't...

    I found a way to get Blue Iris to send push alerts in the event of a power failure

    There's no point having a CCTV system if the crooks can just turn off your power. If you don't have a UPS I suggest getting one. I have a Cyberpower OLS1500E, an online UPS that both provides battery backup and cleans the power to the Blue Iris Server. It came with power panel personal, which...

    IPC-HDBW5231E-Z / IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Night time power consumption

    Hello Everyone, I'm in the market for a couple of new low light 2MP IR Domes to replace some Dahua 5MP box cameras (IPC-HF-3500) that have poor low light performance (0.08lux @ F1.2 in B&W). These are matched to some good (read expensive) fujinon lenses that will do F1.2 throughout the range...
