So I changed out both RJ45 connectors. To test the cable I ran another Ethernet cable from my switch to the camera, just through the house and out the door. I used an Ethernet Coupler to connect the cables at the camera and then I plugged the other two ends located by my switch into my Ethernet...

Yes, seems like the best approach. I'll change out the other connector, put it back up, and then monitor for a few weeks before locking it down for the long run. Hopefully it was just a flakey RJ45 connectior that I put on. Thank you.

Hi, I installed my 6th camera, T544T-ZE, about two weeks ago. I've had it for a while and finally got it up. It worked great for two weeks and then starting yesterday I began having issues. When I installed it I tested the connection and it all seemed good so I did the dielectric grease, coax...

Yup, this is good advice. I've been playing a lot with these settings. Every camera is different due to their location, even when they're very close. In general, I've noticed that by lowering these settings the image gets darker but more detail appears. Leaves me with the decision on how much...

How many times do you have to read the manual to qualify as having.... "Read the manual?" Which leads me to the next thought...it came to me the other day as I was once again trying figure out the best options to pick, etc. Perhaps this is a challenge to the senior members of this board, and it...

Okay... and there I was thinking that the FPS in BI had to match the camera. :) Still curious to know why BI changes the value if it doesn't care about it. The good news is that the micro stutters I see are not related! Thank you...

Hi, Is there a reason Blue Iris will change the FPS from the value I enter? I enter in 15 FPS and then sometime later Blue Iris changes it to 16 FPS. Is this normal? I have all my cameras set to 15FPS and I matched Blue Iris to it but BI keeps changing it to 16 FPS? I was trying to diagnose...

Okay, those are good ideas. For a start I'm going to try 8.83-8.83 for the shutter range. For the other settings I will experiment based on your suggestions. Also, on this camera it has a setting for IRIS. If I understand this setting correctly it is like an F-Stop. I have it set for 70. Does...

I'm just trying to get the motion crisper. I'm not sure if it is possible with this camera? I've tried all kinds of different options and this is about the best I can get it. Having said that I don't have the experience of many on this site so it is entirely possible that I could have missed...

Hello, I'm trying to get the best night settings but I have no basis for comparison. So I don't know if I can get better video at night? Given the attached video and settings document does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it better? Is this the best that I can hope for? The B5442E-Z4E...

Yup, I have to pay closer attention. Blue Iris has been running great for me, basically since I got it earlier this year. So when I saw the update I didn't even read it... I just installed it. Boom!

Thank you! That was very helpful. I downloaded 5.6.0.3 and now I'm back up and running! :)

Hello, Is anyone else having problems after installing Release 5.6.0.4? BI was running fine before I ran the update and now a message box pops up and states "Lost Connection to service [2]" or "The service may not be initializing properly or quickly enough; try again in 30 seconds and reboot PC...

At first Amazon told me I had a choice to return it. However, at 3:00AM this morning I received an email with more information. Given this I'll use the cable. The jacket is thicker than the CMR cable I already had but even with that I was able to put a connector on without much extra effort. The...

Yes, the specs in the ad look good. All I have been able to determine is the A.2 and B.2 standard is about wire layout but that C.2 adds a lot more in terms of the specifications. Which is why I'm asking. They mention the C.2 standard several times in the ad but what I received has B.2 stamped...

Hi, I purchased a roll of cable that was rated in the advertisement as TIA/EIA 568-C.2. Here's the link... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1JFWM5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The ad goes to great lengths to highlight compliance with the C.2 standard but the cable I received has...

Yup, that's me. I'm having a new garage built this year and the process has just begun. It motivated me to get the cameras up because a good part of this summer my backyard will be wide open to anyone that wants to wander in. My brother in-law is going to dismantle my old garage and put it back...

Well, I have my cameras up and running outside now. Still learning how to dial them in but it's going fairly well. Last night I captured this pair having a dispute! :)

Yes, that is where I disabled the "Auto-ban IP after attempts:" and the "Release temp ban after mins:" options. Initially I was still banned. I tried it a few times in a 15 minute timeframe and could not get in but a couple of hours later I tried it again and was able to login. I'm still unsure...

Hello, I've been having issues with UI3 not accepting my password when I enter it on my phone. No matter how slow and exact I make sure I enter my password I always get password is invalid at least once. I would always eventually get in, until today... Today it failed 5 times and now it has...

Indeed it does... I received my 5442 Z4E & tested it. Nice camera. The zoom is giving me what I want & I do like the flexibility of the varifocal lens. Things will be changing in my backyard and I'll be able to adapt to it as it changes. After my new garage is built I will then have a very good...

Thank you, very well explained.

Hi, I'm trying to learn how to use the manual settings on my Dahua 5442T-ZE camera. In the camera interface I have the bit rate set to 8192. However, when I select the camera in Blue Iris it displays about 1024. I have one camera for testing and I set sub-streams off for now. I do have direct...

Okay. Something like this?

For a start I'm thinking I might go with this arrangement. The longer range camera will give me more detail during the garage build using a wider FOV and when finished a very good picture of the door, window, and new sidewalk. The other two cameras will provide close to house coverage. Is there...

Hello... I'm new to security cameras and I've made some progress. Have Blue Iris installed, POE Switch, Dual Nic Setup, basic understanding of the software, etc, and I have an IPC-T5442T-ZE mounted on a 7 foot high temporary testing pole that I can move around. I will eventually have 8 -12...
