Thanks for the quick reply. Going to check out some of the setup threads. It has been a couple of years since I have made any changes to my system and perused this forum.

I have not ventured down the PTZ rabbit hole yet but curious has anyone set this model up in Blue Iris yet?

Awesome, thank you very much for the suggestions. I will try your recommendations. Yes, I am very happy with the two 8232's that I have. Too bad they are so expensive though. I will tweak the camera settings and likely experiment with an IR emitter as well.

Yes, variables will certainly come into play with regard to perfect settings but do you have a recommended baseline to try based on details I have provided? I wouldn't mind a suggested starting point for settings and tweak from there.

Curious, I am currently running IPC-HDW5231R-Z, IPC-HFW8232E-Z and IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras. Regarding night time recordings. I do find I deal with the blurring issues at night. These cameras are outside around barns/sheds on my farm with minimal light from a couple of yard lights. A couple...

Usually the cameras have a reset button. Open the housing and you can see it. Google it and you can see instructions, guides and videos to do so.

I am happy using the nvr5208-8p-4ks2 that I purchased from Andy. I have a full Blue Iris system setup for the house but I needed something for our farm (barns, etc.) and did not have internet access. I emailed Andy for his recommendations and he suggested that. I put in a 6tb purple and it is...

Yeah, I am struggling with the same thing regarding shadows and lights from cars driving down the street at night as well. I keep trying to play with settings but still have so many false triggers. The videos have been a tremendous help though for other stuff.

I know I am digging up this thread is old but I am looking for the same thing or something similar. I would like to be able to use a Shuttle Pro type controller for view security footage easily in Blue Iris and my Dahua NVR. Anyone?

Can you access the cameras SD cards with the NVR only? I won't have a computer at this location and looking for the best way to get those files from the camers.

I know this is an old thread but thought I would post here to help others. I am in no way a network expert but I had a devil of a time trying to find the cameras on the network and get them setup. Turns out I had to jump through a bunch of hoops involving changing the IP address of the...

Okay, I will grab a couple 32gb cards. I can setup a fan on a thermostat switch similar to what I use for the water pumphouse electric heater for the winter as well. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the quick and detailed reply. I won't be adding anymore cameras other than maybe just one more. There will never be internet there as can only get 10mb down and 1mb up (advertised but likely actually slower) and it is $100 a month with a 2 year contract. I will try...

Hi, Just a quick question on which NVR to order from Andy. I wanted to setup a NVR at my dads farm. He passed away and the property is vacant. This is a rural property with no internet. I just want to set up 3 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE's that will record to a NVR. I visit the property once a week to...

Hi, This forum has been great and I learned a lot to get my home system setup with Blue iris and Dahua cameras, thank you everyone. I would like to setup a simple 2 camera system at my dads farm property who recently passed away. The property is vacant and I want to have it monitored I plan...
