    Camera disappeared in Blue Iris, but is still recording and streaming. Not hidden or disabled.

    Blue Iris 5.9.9.4, Windows 10 Pro. I tried dragging a camera in the Layout mode and it vanished. I can't find it within Blue Iris. However, it is still recording and streaming. I just have no way of seeing it live or accessing settings of the camera within Blue Iris. It's not hidden, and...

    Cameras not appearing in Dahua Config Tool

    Thanks @looney2ns, using Advanced IP Scanner worked. The 4MP turret appeared and I could access it via its IP, the 2MP bullet appeared but was marked "dead", and the 5231R-ZE didn't show up, so I think it is dead.

    Auto Startup Question Windows 10

    Ok, I resolved it. Thanks for the reply. I started from scratch and finally got it to work. My issue is just general unfamiliarity with Windows. So, for posterity a recap of what I did for auto-starting BI Tools in Windows 10 and bypassing UAC : Go to Task Scheduler. Right click on Task...

    Auto Startup Question Windows 10

    I have tried that, although not the step of making a new folder within the Task Scheduler. However, I just went through and did that step by step to no avail. I have tried having the scheduled task simply run the program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\Blue Iris Tools.exe" And I have...

    Auto Startup Question Windows 10

    I've been trying to get Blue Iris Tools to auto start in Windows 10 Pro without fully disabling UAC with no luck for some time. I always get the UAC prompt. There is clearly something I am missing. I've tried: Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create - Windows 7 Help Forums I've...

    Monoprice cable recall

    Yes, I checked it and this is indeed the cable I ran. Fair enough that other suppliers may have the same cable, but this speaks incredibly poorly on Monorpice IMO. I can't even fathom the amount of work it will be to replace the runs I did.

    Monoprice cable recall

    I ran a couple hundred feet of this cable in March, it was an incredible amount of work. I am done with Monoprice.

    Running multiple CAT6 cables - many spools at once? How to manage spool lengths efficiently

    Great, thanks for the tips, I will try all those things. I am pretty sure the cables didn't get nicked or bent, although they were always conspiring to do so!

    Running multiple CAT6 cables - many spools at once? How to manage spool lengths efficiently

    I ended up setting up big zip-tie loops throughout the long run from the basement to the garage. Then I ran a pull string with distance markers (USA Made 1250 Lb 1/2" Pull Tape/Mule Webbing - 500 FT (Many Strengths and Lengths Available) - - Amazon.com) through the loops, using the old, existing...

    Best Ubiquity switch for my setup?

    Well, I could always keep it outside the rack, just mount it vertically onto the plywood on the wall. Then see how the temperature fares. I would prefer to have everything in the rack for aesthetic purposes though. I decided to build a separate bench to house the computer and UPS though, so...

    Best Ubiquity switch for my setup?

    I'm planning on mounting mine in a network rack, underneath a couple of 24-port patch panels and above a Zyxel switch. I will have to check the temperature and see how hot it gets. I have some extra room in the rack though, I could give it more space if needed.
