    Your experience with NVR vs PC (Blue Iris, etc.) using Dahua cameras?

    Thanks! I'll need to tweak some things first (currently cameras and BI are only accessible by VPN).

    Your experience with NVR vs PC (Blue Iris, etc.) using Dahua cameras?

    I have a Dell Optiplex with an i-7700, 16 GB RAM. Running Windows 10, and the latest version of Blue Iris. I did a clean install to get rid of Dell's bloatware, and get the right intel drivers. I've had this issue since day one, practically. Yes, I'm sure. I've also read the threads on Dahua...

    Your experience with NVR vs PC (Blue Iris, etc.) using Dahua cameras?

    I am running Blue Iris, with 22 Dahua cameras. I am sure that for most of the members in this forum Blue Iris is working fine... but for me, it is really unstable. It usually runs at 40% CPU, but then once in a while, it goes to 100% CPU, and stays there, unresponsive. Live view on the web...

    Configuring multiple IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    Oh well.. I saw the ConfigTool option to change the network setting of multiple cameras at the same time.. and I was hopeful.

    Configuring multiple IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    I got several IPC-HDW5231R-Z, and I noticed that when they boot for the first time, they get a static ip of 192.168.1.108. What happens if you connect several of these to the PoE switch at the same time.. will they start having IP Conflicts and rebooting? Is there a way to switch them all to...
