I use Blue Iris to auto post snap shots to my website at specified intervals. I do not need remote access to the cams. If I only access the cams from the home network, do I really need to use port forwarding?

I have 6 Foscam18910W cams at 2 locations. Recently a couple cams have gone dark. If I sign in and check IPCam only the active cams show. If I power down the cam it seems to be fine for a few days or so. Is there any way to set the cam to do an auto reboot at a specific time or if communication...

Does anyone know if Blue Iris has an Optical Zoom feature that can be integrated with the auto pan preset function. It would be great to pan and then zoom in or out. Any ideas are appreciated.

Kind of Solved I really didn't want to have to reset everything for the cam but at last resort I deleted the cam. After I added it back, everything seems to be working fin so far. Unknown glitch. Just glad it's working again.

I have 2 identical Foscam cameras set up. The first camera goes through the presets and pans every 10 minutes to the next preset and uploads a picture through FTP to my web site. The second cam does everything but "Pan" through the presets. I tap the Preset setting in Blue Iris and it does...

zero, no disrespect at all from your post. And I do understand I could purchase a more expensive camera with advanced features and easily solve this challenge. The issue is I have 5 of these cameras that have suited me well. The Zoom feature was a small improvement that I was trying to work out...

Forums like this are for helping people with challenges. Does criticizing other people make you feel good? I feel sorry for you.

Thanks for the suggestion but this entire process is automated. The images are snapped and FTP'ed to the website without any human intervention. That is why I was trying to see if I could set the Zoom feature at the same time I go to the Preset position. I.E. Preset one, no zoom, Preset 2 Zoom...

You said:At the host location I have 200MB down and 30MB up. This sounds pretty limited. You couldn't even download a standard movie. If you have to pay extra for exceeding your download limit, this is going to cost you a lot of money.

I've done this to originally test my remote cams. You need a PC at the remote location to get it set up. A tool like IP Camera can find and display all the cams internal IP address'. You will also use the cam software to install the cam and set the user and password. After you have that, you can...

I have a website that auto updates without human intervention. That is why I wanted to automate the zoom process.

Thank you for your observation but in my case it's not a waste. I'm taking pictures and posting them to a website so I would like to zoom into different areas for close up pictures. My Foscam does not have zoom so using Blue Iris Digital zoom would be a nice effect i I could use it.

I have my cam set up to do 6 presets and cycle through them throughout the day. Is there a way to add the digital zoom feature to a preset? I'd like to go to a preset and then Zoom in, go to the next preset and zoom out, and so on.

Thanks fenderman
