Thanks, I will look for those threads.

I honestly don't remember how it was originally set up, I'm not very skilled with PC's. But since it stopped running on start up I've run it as Administrator, as a service, I've used task scheduler, put it in start up items and Blue Iris never starts up after a restart.

Yes, I have an SSD drive but it's being utilized in another application at the moment. I forgot to mention also, my Blue Iris no longer restarts itself when restarting the computer.... it used to and it just stopped!

I am having the worst time with my Blue Iris set up! I have a 4 tb surveillance drive in order and when I install that into my computer I am considering a total reinstall of Blue Iris. I had Blue Iris set up for a Dahua POE camera and everything was working fine. I had the weather overlay from...

I bought the camera from a seller on Amazon - a seller named MagicVision

Yes, I might try a Hikvision this time. I'm going to message the seller and see about a repair/replacement, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Arrgghh..... just my luck!

Well.... the reset button didn't work :-(

Yes, I used the 568 standard when I made my cables. But now that I have the camera unmounted and sitting on a table for testing I am using a pre-made cable. I was able to locate the reset switch on the camera board but Dahua config tool still won't see the camera. The ir flashes every once in a...

I've tried everything, and noting sees the camera anymore, the Config tool from Dahua can't even find it. I did find a reset button on the board though. We'll see if that helps!

I got it apart and there is a reset switch.... I'm gonna see if that solves the problem! Maybe at least the Config tools will see the camera again, that would be a start.

I'll have to see if I can get it apart to look for a reset switch. I tried unscrewing the cam, but I'll have to investigate how exactly it comes apart.

I have one of those, but no that's not what is testing it, the Linksys switch actually tests the wiring. If I unplug the cam then it gives an open error, with the cam plugged in it says the "copper" tests good. And the camera is down and on a table with the computer, switch etc. and I'm using...

Let me start off by saying I am a noob to IP Cams, most of my experience is from the old analog cameras and DVR's. That also means that I know how addicting having a security camera system can be! Let me start off with the specs of my system: Lenovo K450e with an i7 4790 processor running at...

Thanks Fenderman.... I have been seeing a lot of SSD's on sale lately.... I have one in my Wife's computer and they really are fast, she will be switching to a laptop so I might steal the SSD out of her desktop. Thanks again for the tip!
