Re: New Storage Status?

Looks like a corrupted database. I hope that sorts it for you.

Re: CUDA Errors with YOLOv5 Object Detection on CPAI 2.5.x – Seeking Insights

Looking good !

With "Reliability History" I had used a program called "WhoCrashed" and went down that rabbit hole. People at the time said they would have thrown it out of a window due to those multiple failure modes :lol:

Re: Running as Service Mode - no Camera Previews

If forever, then it may be due to using the wrong account for running as a service and for NAS access if your previous threads are still true. I don't think this is a bug as there are many users who have it working like that. Can somebody with a working system (including NAS) explain how to set it u...

Re: best settings for Eufy indoor 2k please?

All I can find online is that the Eufy C120 disconnects, and the Tapo C120 works well with BI5.

We would need to see your present settings to assist. Just one thought - try ticking "Decoder compatibility mode" in the BI5 settings for that camera and see if that helps.

Re: Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

Yes, even without IR. Starlight cameras are awesome. Part of the reasoning behind not always using IR, is that the bad guys all carry a device to locate the IR from CCTV cameras so they can avoid them. That's the IR sensitive camera on a mobile phone. By having some cameras with, and some without IR...

Re: Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

Previous versions of Starlight cameras at 2MP were awesome in the dark. Starlight cameras are well worth the extra cost if you are looking for bad guys at night !

Re: Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

Good to hear. Another forum user has been asking about Dahua cameras that can see in colour at night. Are these cameras sensitive enough for that ?

Re: Is the AMD RADEON RX 640 GPU OK with BI

It depends what you are wanting to do with it. Blue Iris can use the integrated gpu of a compatible i7 cpu, but anything else tends to need an Nvidia gpu. Any extra gpu will increase power requirements. I went for an i7-8700k cpu due to its relatively low power, and only added a GTX1650 when I need ...

There are forum members who use Xeon's so hopefully one of them can answer this.

Re: Camera suggestion for day and night vision

The Dahua cameras have been very good for me, but I haven't bought any recently. I stopped at 2MP 1080P cameras and actually bought a box of the PTZs. For night viewing, you need to look at the minimum Lux specifications. For the above camera you have: Lux.png Which shows minimum Lux as 0.011. Camer...
