Blue Iris Security Camera

Bought this to use with my Blue Iris security system works great and cameras that are attached to it work well

After several weeks of research for an ultra wide camera that wouldn't break the bank, I requested a quote and special ordered this one from B&H. Took a bit long to receive, 22 days from order day to DC, as it comes directly from HikVision California, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. I'm using this camera with Blue Iris, so I won't speak about the built in motion detection, masking capabilities and other characteristics of that nature. I rely on Blue Iris for those. Several features that were must haves. Single lens with 180° horizontal field of view, it has built in lens distortion correction, which can be manually disabled. There's a bit of distortion towards the edges of the image, but this is expected. RTSP capable, outdoor, PoE, WDR, and IR. Overall 5 stars, if you're looking for an 180° outdoor cam, definitely take a look at this one.

Purchased to use on a 11 camera Blue Iris system, all cameras recording full time. Initialized and moving large amounts of data to make sure all is OK before moving to the BI system. Performance is better than expected (hdparm of 250ish MB/sec. Quiet and runs pretty cool. I like it.

I like to carry my camera bag (a messenger style) cross body, so a shoulder strap or neck strap just felt like I had way too much slung across me. I wanted my camera to be safe from being dropped or snatched, and this strap gives me just the amount of security I want without having my camera draped on me. I leave it on the camera all the time, but with the clip, the strap can easily be removed. The neoprene strap is very comfortable and does not get in the way. I don't even notice it when I shoot. Plus, it's blue. I love blue. I feel like I bought a lot of security for not very much money.

It works great. The iris knob is very sensitive, but that may be the camera. I've gotten used to it, though.

I liked it, iris thin so less to no vignette.

Just received the dehumidifier pack. It was 'blue' in it's sealed bag (assume it was ready to be used). I placed it in a non-sealed security safe some 5 days ago and it is still 'blue'. Cannot comment on how long it will last before needing a 'recharge', but will try and remember to come back and report. So far, so good.

No f/stop iris adjustments possible with the original Pocket 6K. Iris control works fine with the Pocket 6K Pro.

Works very well. Great for the security of the camera

Add these to your camera strap for extra security.
