    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    so just to come back, it stopped working again and is now showing offline. Any other troubleshooting points? I am using an 8 port midspan to power it, I have another amcrest camera in that midspan to the same switch and its working just fine.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Well I was going to come back tomorrow (Tuesday) and report back, but so far, after changing the PoE Injector, I've had 6 days of up time. I hear you on the concurrent users but Control4 isn't an active user. There is a driver for Blue Iris for Control4, so I have a user in Blue Iris called...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Yes - didnt want to revive a 18+ month old thread I am between jobs now and have a few weeks of downtime so there are numerous little things around the house I am trying to fix/clean up while I can give it some attention.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Same model - IP5M-T1179EW-28MM I have a more up to date BI version, but I've upgraded 2-3x from likely where you were since the camera has been installed. Again hoping it was just changing up the injector, if it stays up for ~3 days and doesn't fall off I'll assume that was the answer from a...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Yeah I get that - but if it works with the Amcrest app, why not the Blue Iris app? that confuses me, but we'll see how this new PoE injector I use holds up.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    again I admit I am no expert, but whenever I use the Amcrest app, I can see the live feed. In Blue Iris after X period of time (usually 2-3 days) it just says no signal. Would that be a PoE thing because the camera is working on the Amcrest app when the BI App says no signal Regardless, I...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    I am using an older Unifi PoE injector for an AP I am not using anymore. It says GP-H480-050G ; POE 48-24w-G ; Input 100-240V - 50/60Hz, Max 0.75A ; Output 48V 0.5A Again the camera works absolutely fine with the Amcrest app, camera seems online whenever I check, I get snapshots in Control4...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Cat6 - tested the wire too with some tools and it passes a fine signal - and it was a store purchased Cat cable, not one I made/crimped on my own

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    So for a brief background, not an expert, but I've had BI for ~7-8 years, I have 12 cameras on my system, from 3-4 different manufactures, so I have some level of knowledge, though by far an expert. I have 1 Amcrest camera, an IP5M and I cannot get it in Blue Iris. it comes and goes, mostly...

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    Thank you that worked. Having BI since ~2014 this was the first hiccup so I was not sure what deactivating would do (mess up any settings, etc). seemed rather easy, and now I am back up and working (though I had to put in the product key again but no big deal).

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    I tried with ALU and didnt find anything but I did reference there was an 11 page thread and was this associated with that issue as well….

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    so if I go to re-add my most recent product key it says you have already entered it. When it comes to my overall license, I see the right one listed, but I do not see how to re-enter it short of clicking "deactivate" and then I guess following steps to reactivate it. Is that what you did to...

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    So out of the blue today I see (pun kinda intended) I see “ALU” in blue across 9 of my 12 cameras. Odd. I look and I am on 5.6.x.x and there are newer versions, but my subscription lapsed in Oct ‘22. Things work fine, no new features have appealed to me, so I didn’t renew. After rebooting BI...

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    no fix. And I am using Cisco SG switches. I’ve moved between switches and same outcome. These are direct runs and no patch panels.

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    Well I had the issue again, and I could not log into the UI with the URL on my LAN. I've tested the cable with 2 different testers, both pass on each test. I am at a loss, so I rewired how I have things powered. I isolated this camera on its own PoE Injector, and I have that plugged into a...
