    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    This needs to be stickied. The plethora of cheap no-name IP cameras out there is crazy. 99% of the buyers have no clue and readily (and perpetually) give them access to the net.

    Woolink Settings Anyone?

    I agree with the quality of the video as they are very good, but I'd never give them access to the Internet. Closed systems only. You may want to check the post I did here about another cheap IP cam - https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/sricam-a-security-threat.76339/

    Second Dead Hard Disk in BI system

    Hmmm.... Something's strange there. When I image drives to my TR-004 (USB dock to USB TR-004) it rarely drops below 1Gbps. (It's not the 5Gbps the spec says it should be but both read and write are on the same USB buss.)

    Second Dead Hard Disk in BI system

    I don't understand this either. USB 3 (gen 1) is rated at 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps for gen2. SATA III is rated 6 Gbps so you can theoretically get better performance with a Gen2 USB. Durability is the same or better in an external drive as they generally run a bit cooler. I need to do some thread...

    Second Dead Hard Disk in BI system

    You may want to add CrystalDIskInfo to your software tools. It's free and will give you detailed info and status on all your spinners.

    Sricam a security threat?

    I thought I'd relate a recent episode with one of my old Sricam bullet cameras (ID# MEYE-012267). It's an ancient 640 x 480 bullet cam with IR. I received a notice from Spectrum/Charter about suspicious activity on my network. I ran a port scan and sure enough port 81 was open and pointing at...

    Woolink Settings Anyone?

    I had forgotten that some (old tech) cameras still need ActiveX to access. I turned on IE mode in Edge on an old Win10 laptop which enabled ActiveX. From there it was pretty easy to check out the camera settings. Once I set HTTP (80), ONVIF (8899) and Media (34567) ports in Blue Iris it worked...

    Woolink Settings Anyone?

    Yes, time to send them back. But, I like the C-325WB because I have to have wireless. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Woolink Settings Anyone?

    They are remarkedly without any identification. Here's their page on Amazon. They are intended to be used with their app of course but I thought I saw somewhere they can be used on other systems. No where can I find any details on them. If they are truly proprietary then they are going back. But...

    Woolink Settings Anyone?

    Has anyone gotten Woolink cameras to work with Blue Iris? I'd be curious what settings were used. Yes, I know these are cheap Chinesium cameras but for the money they appear to have good 2K performance. I'm trying to add one of the bullet cams to an isolated (no Internet) network. I can feed...

    Computer for Blue Iris

    As I mentioned elsewhere in the forum, I am a Xeoma user. I'm trying to figure out why all the CPU horsepower is needed for Blue Iris? I run four cameras on Xeoma using a HP T5730 thin client (AMD Semperon 2100+ with 1GB RAM running WinXPe) that also runs our IP phone system. It averages...

    Separate Network for IP Cameras?

    You can have a 802.11n router, but many people just check the WPA encryption box as they are used to the older standard. WPA only supports 54mps and will throttle down any "n" router to 54Mbs. I will do some more investigation into Blue Iris. Although I can currently control the framerate...

    Separate Network for IP Cameras?

    Sorry to jump in to this a little late but thought I would throw out a few details to clarify for posterity sake- I'm somewhat new to IP cameras in general but been in IT for a long time. The cameras mentioned by the OP have WiFi capabilities and I didn't see if he was using them in the...
