    Camera Main Layout Question

    I have 4 cameras setup in a "4 up" configuration on blueiris 5... four camera windows all the same size edge to edge in the main layout windows When I view blueiris in a UI3 web interface the cameras are different size windows and a large black border in the main layout window? Any idea why that...

    Recommended “hidden cam” comaotible for blue iris

    It can be hidden in a fixture or just a cam in itself. Poe or wifi doesn’t matter thanks

    IPCam calling home...

    So according to the manufacturer of the ptz cam (RSTRG) they say the camera is toast. Kind of ridiculous that changing the default gateway or dns server address can brick an ipcam Anyway I saw this ipcam from Genbolt that has fairly good reviews on Amazon... Almost identical to the one I'm...

    IPCam calling home...

    No I don't think so.. was thinking of putting wireshark on that and seeing exactly what those packets are sending. But I'm still not getting access The top cover does easilyh come off with a single screw and there is an SD Card slot there but no reset unfortunately

    Sorry I'm seeing any slot for a micro SD on this cam... apparently there may be a reset button right next to the SDcard slot?

    IPCam calling home...

    Further to this.. the manufacturer sent me a search tool which he advised would allow me to reset and gain access to this camera.. BUT connected to the same switch on the same local LAN and pinging the actual camera at the same time, this tool found nothing. So try as I may to gain access or...

    IPCam calling home...

    Someone suggested that I try changing the default gateway on the camera and it made sense because blueiris is on the same local subnet so the camera shouldn't need a default gateway once setup in blueiris... which it was.. But now it has lost connection and there is no "reset" button anywhere...

    I have this IPCam I picked up on Amazon years ago.. It is sold under different names (currently "Shenter") and is an inexpensive 10x zoom PTZ and actually has a very good resolution for the price point (under $120) Recently though after adding a "Pihole" to my local camera subnet, I see the...

    Hik Bullet Cam - DS-2CE16D0T-IRF 2mm - not your normal PoE ;(

    Hi there, don't know if this is the correct forum area but I just picked up this Hik Bullet cam. A price I couldn't refuse but I never looked at the specs close enough.. my current setup is a few cams on blueiris 5 obviously all on PoE over cat5 ethernet. This camera has no connetor like that...

    admin default password - IPC Model: IP420/50

    Well I can't explain it but it was actually a blank password but I tried leaving it blank numerous times. I'll chalk it up to either being too old for this IT thingy any longer, or one of those little mysteries we come upon once in a while ;)

    admin default password - IPC Model: IP420/50

    Awesome, thanks for all this.. the admin password turned out to be blank. I kept hacking away and with the above info was successful This is actually a fairly decent camera video wise.. Like I said it was only $69.00 Canadian. Just trying to establish what type of sound it will capture. Thanks...

    admin default password - IPC Model: IP420/50

    Thanks for the response.. tried that this cam is a real stickler but for the price it is exactly what I need.. It's got some proprietary setup whereby you have to login into a mobile app called PS6 and then create an account on some site in order to be able to use the app to scan a qr code...

    admin default password - IPC Model: IP420/50

    This was supposed to be a cheap alternative to get a bit of sound out of an ipcam on one corner of my residence. Seemed to fit the bill with builtin-mic etc but for the life of me I can't get in the setup or access the camera in any way. The default admin user is not using any of the default...

    PTZ IPCam with Audio

    Thanks for that.. makes sense to me to offer an additional power option. I can't think of a situation where you would want to run a power and separate network cable but perhaps there would be an applicaiton for that

    PTZ IPCam with Audio

    Thanks again and your absolutely right.. That second smaller little dongle wasn't a mini audio mic plug, but rather a DC12V IN plug of some kind Not sure what this would be for but probably not a mic input.. although this simple Hik DS-2CD2032-I has audio options in the cam software

    PTZ IPCam with Audio

    I have three ptz currently and I recall that all three have a mini stereo plug along with the poe ethernet dongle sticking out Can I assume if it has the audio plug the mic goes there and the camera provides power to that.. just enable the correct audio options on the camera itself and blue...

    PTZ IPCam with Audio

    Would someone recommend a good ptz ipcam with audio capabilities... neighbors kids crank up the stereo and base boost in their garage every time the parents leave.. often blasting till 3-4 AM. Today I had the police show up and wouldn't you know it just as the police arrive the mom runs out and...

    I got soooo sick of these hikvision knockoffs from Amazon.. can't dare reset the dvr or cams for fear of them coming back in chinese.. ridiculous that they can sell these legally buyer beware I guess I still use the three or four DS-2CD2032-I cams I've had for years but I saved myself a lot of...

    Recommendations - PTZ Cam - with sound capability

    I was hoping someone would be able to recommend a PTZ IP Cam (reasonably priced $150-$200 CAD) that has sound capability. I never required a camera with sound before but a new neighbor with an older dodge diesel half ton moved in next door All I need if for this camera to record sound to prove...

    Hi there... take my advice and save yourself a lot of grief with these older Hikvision NVR knock-offs. Blue Iris was the best 55 or 60 bucks I ever spent. I already had a spare computer so the cost to me was only for the Blue Iris software itself but it was wayyyyy worth the effort This PC has...

They appear when you select the "Full Camera List" but show have "no image" in the little screen? This came up suddenly the other day and I don't...

    Hik DS-7108N-SN/P I had an issue with this nvr but Allistair provided a firmware that returned it back to english.. unfortunately that firmware doesn't allow the PTZ feature to work on any camera including hik. also all 8 cameras never keep the same time. Now i am in need of accessing the cams...
