This looks good especially with Starvis. I want to pick up some 8k Dahuas Domes. Can I mix and match brands on a dedicated blue Iris setup? Hopefully Matt can chime in

yes, you can mix brands on a blue iris setup, as long as all the cams are ONVIF compatible. Really, they could be non ONVIF and I'm sure BI would find a way to make it work.

Realistically though, any of the Hik/Dahua OEMs will support ONVIF.

Since you're not relying on any OEM specific capabilities (either in the cam or in the nvr), u can mix and match with blue iris (since it'll be doing all those functions itself).

There are arguments for and against OEM nvr vs BI. A lot of is resource usage/processing power. The OEM nvrs are purpose built for a job and can get away with less processing power requirements while a BI PC will need i5 min, i7 for expansion overhead.

Hi Smoke1234,

Psumarsh did a good job covering this. ( thanks and repped psumarsh )

Just a note on this, the reason many recommend a good newer gen i5/i7 is that Blue Iris does a lot of the compute on the CPU. ( I would go with gen-4+ ) This means Blue Iris can mix and match various different OEMs which have their own APIs as the compute ( like line crossing, intrusion detection, motion etc.. ) can be moved to the PC.

Contrast this is OEM NVRs and OEM VMS software that run on PCs which can allow the cameras to do more compute and pass the messages to the NVR / VMS via the OEMs API ( Hikvision and Dahua being 2 of the more popular OEMs )

As long as you have a good camera that follows IP standards like rtsp ( ONVIF also is good ) - chances are you can get it to work well with Blue Iris.

Note - some products like Reolink have reported issues due the ability to force iframes to be produced per each frame. ( Blue Iris needs iframes for difference computation iirc ) This is one of the big technical reasons why folks at ipcamtalk dislike Reolink ( Reolink claimed you could configure their cameras to customize iframes - however the firmware did not do this properly. ) - I do not know if Reolink has fixed this.

If you stick with decent Dahua OEM or Hikvision OEM you should do well with Blue Iris and those cameras.

Due to your constant information Matt trust me I've done a ton of research and have the i7 etc already to go. Thanks

How is the night image with these? I see that it has a Starvis sensor, but how do actual night images look?

Hi Probedude,

Look for video reviews on the Dahua OEM IPC-HDW48xx / HFW48xx models.

While they do have Starvis sensors, they're packing in 8MP resolution into it, so these cameras do have smaller pixels on the sensor compared to the 2mp starlight models.
( i.e. the 2mp starlight will be a superior performer in low light as it is able to grab more light due to the larger pixel size.. of course f-stop also matters... so this is a basic simplification. )

There should be a few comparison videos on ipcamtalk and perhaps youtube you can find to see.

Hi Heynowdai,

Looks like it still works, at least up to putting it into your cart and adding the discount code.
