    IS your google broken?
    yes, when unusual terms are used and the poster assumes everyone knows what they mean.

    No one should half to do a search for uncommon terms or abbreviations.

    Blue iris is not an uncommon term. Google it and you will see. It has been mentioned on this forum many times. A poster does not need to provide an explanation of what a product is every time its mentioned.

    If you dont know what it means then you cannot help anyway. It is really that simple.

    I've got a couple clips in BI that I would like to make into timelapse videos for easier sharing. I searched and looked in the help section and didn't find anything. Effectively I want it to appear like when I screen through at 16x. Does anyone know a strategy to do this? I know you can set it up to record like that but these are existing clips.

    you cannot do this within blue iris after its already been recorded. You will need to export the clip and use a video editor or simply play it back faster.

    Alright thanks.

    I think this one might be worth it...

    It ends in 6hrs..

    It's an I5 4590, I have Blue Iris 4 so Id install that on it. And throw in a 4tb purple drive...

     

    Theres also someone locally selling some refurbed, but its an i5 2400. I'll have to look at bench tests of the cpus.

    It atleast has a gigabit ethernet port

    THIS LOOKS GOOD

    http://nashville.craigslist.org/sys/5550595103.html

    The first unit is an ultra slim, it only has room for a 2.5 drive.

    You want a small form factor. The second link is an older 8300. You want an elitedesk 800 ...

    Your old system is a powerhog and also does not support intel hd with quicksync.

    Look at a turret style camera. The ball is locked in place by a screw.

    Thanks for the response. We have a few of those too, but indoors. Would that work as an outdoor camera?

     

    - Jon

    yes, its outdoor rated just like the bullet or dome. The dome will work as well, but presents issues of ir reflection if not properly mounted and positioned.

    I've been trying to do some research. I've been off here for a couple years.

    New home, and I have 6 Hikvision 3mp 4mm bullets sitting in a box. I want to throw these on the new house I bought with my wifes and I first

    child coming next month. I was to add a few cams as well.

     

    So, My options are a Hikvision NVR for $255ish like this one I found.

    HIKVISION 16CH 8 Ports PoE DS-7616NI-E2/8P

    Dont remmeber if links are allowed. I'll remove if not.

    http://www.amazon.com/HIKVISION-DS-7616NI-E2-8P-Resolution-Recording/dp/B00VQK2H4U?ie=UTF8&keywords=hikvision%20nvr&qid=1465438491&ref_=sr_1_3&s=electronics&sr=1-3

    I hear BI (what I have) is so much better... But I'll have to build a small form computer dedicated to this task. But, I doubt I can

    do it for $255... I am competent in doing it, but possible on a budget under $300 I doubt.... to be able to run 8 or 10 ip cams....

     

    Outside of the hikvision nvr is there a better solution for roughly the same price?

    Im not worried about poe. I have Powered switches Ill be using to reduce wiring anyway.

    Thanks

    You can buy a haswell i5-4590 hp elitedesk or dell optiplex on sale for 300. Ebay and dell outlet (follow dell outlet twitter)...

    You will find that the NVR is severely lacking in functionality compared to blue iris, particularly when it comes to schedules/alerts and the playback via the mobile app.

    I was just reading my own post. The real lesson in it isn't which recorder or software to buy or not buy. The real lesson is something I've said many times. If you read all the time and money I have spent trying different software, different cameras - I started with analog and soon after went all digital. I've wasted thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours - but with my technical background and personality type, it was all fun for me. For most people, they're much better off going to a pro. You won't save money on a basic system by doing it yourself if you do all the trial and error I have done. The pro may not use the brands we know, or maybe they do. But their advantage is that they know the brands they use inside and out. That's how they save all the time and money I spent.

     

    Unless you're an ENTJ like me and, by nature, you have to do everything there is to do, just once, you might be better off calling one of the vendors here.

     

    Here is example for you

    Avigilon server with 24 2MP cameras

    For reference, what cpu is that?

    Very useful, comprehensive, and helpful post dalepres. This is unusual, but matches my type of posts when I've studied a subject. I'm also one who has to learn everything about everything before I do anything, but you've saved me alot here.

     

    Well, either wireguys and ak357 websites have malfunctioned, or they both have too much business to have responded, I'll move on.

     

    I've heard that Hik's software is obtuse so I didn't bother, but now I'll try it. But first I will try https://ksenos.fi/ and http://www.networkoptix.com/nxwitness/#connect to see how they behave. I'll let you know.

     

     

    I would take everything dalepres says with a HUGE grain of salt, regrading all the vms options he mentions. He obviously did not test them properly. All I see is user error.

    Here is just one example. He never states the "i7" he used with blue iris or whether he set it up properly. There is a huge variations between i7 processors. He also did not build an i7 box. He bought an i7 laptop.By reading the blue iris help file, he would learn that you must set the cameras to record direct to disc (which doesnt rencode the video) if you are using high res cams. Blue iris also supports hardware acceleration when used with intel HD graphics that support quicksync. He states he was hitting 30 percent utilization with only 2 3mp cameras. Well then how am I getting 22 percent on an i7-4770 system with 7x3mp dahuas, 3x2mp hikvisions and one cheap vga camera. Is it magic? I get similar results with my many other systems.

    So, bottom line is his "reviews" are worthless. This includes his "review" of Avignon - a great piece of software. Its unfortunate that incompetent users leave baseless "reviews".

    Hi, sorry if newb question, but does RTSP use up internet? (My ISP limits my monthly bandwidth)

    Local viewing while on the same network does not use any external bandwidth..if you are using a cell phone outside your home network or using a remote pc then you will be using bandwidth. Blue iris allow you to set 3 preset bandwidth limits for the webserver, in the mobile app and web client you can choose the bandwidth you wish to use.

    Unless you are watching 24/7 you would be using much at all.

    You need to stop bragging about how many you install. I learned long ago that volume does not imply skill or quality. Like I said, many installing are installing 700tvl cameras, more than you, doesnt mean they are doing it properly. You obviously are comparing a homerun system to a multi node system. How dumb is that. Based on your comments I would not trust you to install a doorbell. If YOUR ip solutions are so unreliable then you need to look at yourself not blame the technology.

     

    Spoken like a true professional Boogieman you make me laugh. " title="Applause" />

    Likewise. Dont know, I dont have these issues that you seem to be having. Again, this is a simple install. Not a multi node multi server install. Its plug and play. Simple, basic, easy. Stop over complicating it. I think its hilarious how installers here try to make it seem like rocket science in the hopes to dissuade folks from doing the jobs themselves. dexterash is spot on.

    Do you not undestand what homerun to the NVR is?

    plug and play default? if the cameras are not exposed to the NET its the same as analog...you cannot reach the cameras directly.. wow, you really dont know what you are talking about. Sad. Your grasping at straws making silly arguments about default passwords..well you know what? if the default password on the ANALOG DVR is not changed then I could disable it as well. What do you think this is oceans 11, where the burglars are going to find your ip address and remote it? this has gotten to the point of idiocy.

    The situation: Ongoing issues with vandals damaging my elderly parents car, in day and at night, parked by curb 10 meters from house.

    Our current setup:An 'AvTech Day and Night 420 TVL CCD Outdoor Cam' and it is connected via BNC to this DVR: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Channel-CCTV-Digital-Video-Recorder-DVR-500GB-HDD-/180689104424?

     

    Guess you didn't read what the original TS said. One of the camera will be outside the house. This means that that camera cabling is exposed. Which means the whole IP Camera network will be exposed. For plug and play system, that's a expose risk. But then again, nothing to do with reliability. Most likely no one is going to hack into the system vie the that camera. But it's still gonna be a risk if you look from risk assessment aspect.

     

    Thought you are the one thinking along the line of oceans 11 with all the hidden NVR, etc.

     

    Wireless is secure? wow...I could take your wifi offline easily.

    My exact words are "Even using wireless is more secure as it's harder to find common standard secure wireless transmission equipment for analog equipment."

    Just using a Wifi Jammer would render all wireless network useless. Nothing difficult about it.

    http://www.alljammers.com/jammers-shop/wifi-jammer.html

    It's more about taking control over the whole network without the user knowing that require more technical skill.

     

    Back to the original TS question of reliability.

    You said "Ip is just as reliable as analog."

     

    My exact words are.

    "IP is never going to be as RELIABLE as Analog.

    Reliable, yes if properly installed. AS RELIABLE, no."

     

    I never said it's not reliable. If fact, I did said it's reliable if properly installed.

    I just have a different in opinion from yours if you are comparing the exactness of the reliability.

    There's no need for name calling.

     

    And my advice to him was.

    "For your use, if you are going to reuse the cabling, go for analogue-hd.

    If you are going for a new system, depending on your budget, you can consider analogue hd or ip hd.

    IP HD is normally more expensive."

     

     

    Never said don't use IP Camera.

    Yes because the burglars are going to hack into the system..your posts keep getting dumber.

    Right back at you. You are purpose misleading - the worst kind of agenda driven offender. Comparing service to a complex multinode system to a plug and play NVR. Wow. How low will you go to promote your garbage

     

    We install more IP cameras in one week then you install in a year and have experience with every major VMS and IP video camera on the market not just chinese government owned small 4 camera systems. You really need to understand what you are talking about and understand how IP video works before you "brag" about how reliable IP is over analog/HD analog/TVI/CVI/HD-SDI.

    You do realize that those POE embedded NVRs have network switched built into them and they use IP to transport video from the camera to the NVR?

     

    One of my largest customers still uses analog/HD analog for live view monitor because it is more reliable. They have figured this out because they have 1100+ IP cameras for recording and 100+ analog cameras for live viewing only. We service the IP system a lot more then the analog/HD analog.

    Yes and they rarely if ever fail. Not any more chance than an analog DVR failing. Simply stating that you service the IP system more often is meaningless are that system is obviously not a 4-8ch home run to an NVR..we know nothing about its components or how it was setup.

     

    The more you argue this you worse you look.
