    Cameras randomly dropping offline briefly

    Thanks for the quick response and clarifying questions. There are multiple PoE switches on the network. There are no wifi cameras... all are PoE via CAT 5 & 6. The FPS/Key values are all over the map. I'm not sure how to adjust that. CPU load is 23%, GPU 5%, RAM 9.77GB. All cameras are...

    Cameras randomly dropping offline briefly

    I run several installations of BI and although most of them perform well, I am seeing issues with one of them. There are 41 cameras on the system (located in a small community school). They are mostly Dahua and Panoeagle cameras. Many of the cameras will randomly drop offline for 5-10 seconds...

    What router are you guys using?

    I’ve been happy with an Eero mesh router with 2x Beacons (AP’s)

    Using a BNC camera on a Cat5 PoE network

    I have 19 PoE cameras on a network, all with CAT5e connections. However, I was recently given a decent-looking Dahua 5MP camera (HFW1500TLN-A-0280B) that has a BNC connection. I'd like to try the camera and use it with my existing CAT5 cabling. Is there an adapter someone can recommend that will...

    Can I have different cameras save clips to different directories using Blue Iris?

    Thanks for the shout-out... I've been using BI for several years and really find it amazing. As I mentioned, I have 3 different installations that I setup and manage (all volunteer, btw.) I feel pretty capable on the regular stuff, but once in a while something comes up and I turn to this forum...

    Pleased with Hikvision PTZIP204WX4IR - Nice 4x zoom

    I am in the process of replacing several fixed (non-PTZ) Dahua dome cameras in a church with audio-capable PTZ cams. I decided to try the Hikvision PTZIP204WX4IR units. I have to say, I am very pleased with the image and video quality, so far. The only negative is that although the camera is...

    Error connecting to wunderground

    Hah! So it goes. I just verified in BI that my camera is absolutely ONLINE so the issue is beyond my network. At least the previous time lapse is still there. When this issue cropped up, the old footage went away as well. EDIT: I also checked the Davis Weatherlink app (my wx station is a Davis...

    Can I have different cameras save clips to different directories using Blue Iris?

    I have 3 different installations that I manage... my home, a church, the church's thrift shop; in all, a total of 53 cameras. I routinely purge old clips - every 2 weeks or so, to keep the hard drives from getting cluttered. Currently, all the recorded clips are stored in the same place on each...

    Error connecting to wunderground

    Here's another shout-out of thanks to you, Mike! I appreciate you taking the time to research alternative options. I've enjoyed checking my local weather when I'm also checking my cams. It would be a shame if that feature died-off.

    Scheduling snapshots... through Blue Iris

    Thanks for the suggestions. If I were to reposition the camera downward to eliminate the effects of the ceiling-mounted bulb, I’ll cut off the top of the person’s head. In this case, the intruder moved past the camera and remained out of sight for approximately 1 minute. There are other (double)...

    Scheduling snapshots... through Blue Iris

    BTW, I mentioned that my church experienced some vandalism so I installed a bunch of cameras. Here's an example of someone showing up at 4 am (for unknown reasons) and trying to get inside. We have no idea why the guy is wielding a 'chuck-it' ball-throwing toy that is usually used to play with dogs!
