    General App question

    As fenderman has suggested, ipcamviewer is a good option. I used this app previously with a DVR setup and for a free app, it's great value. Setting up the user groups in Blue Iris, means connections are independent of the mobile client app you use. When a user connects, it is their credentials...

    Which cable?

    Probably best not to have any exposed network devices (sheltered or not). I would even avoid having exposed cable if possible, even if it can at least be protected by some split tubing or better still, PVC conduit?

    Which cable?

    I would opt for solid over stranded cable for any type of IP cam use.

    Which cable?

    Cat5e is sufficient, but I always opt for better quality cable where possible. So if you have Cat6, I would use it. It's generally more robust and will be less susceptible to EM interference, physical damage and wear from the general environment. A good system is only as reliable as it's...

    IPCT Members Only Promo!

    RyanODan Just out of curiosity, are the cameras identical in every other way? As in, are they manufactured on the same line with the same hardware components? What is the firmware that is used and does it provide same or similar functionality/security? Sorry if this has been covered previously...

    General App question

    I just started using the Blue Iris IOS app and it was worth every cent! It's easily the best IOS cam management app I have used, using it in conjunction with the server of course. If you have an iDevice and use the Blue Iris PC software, you are selling yourself short if you don't have the Blue...

    As much as people must hear the advice about good password practices, it cannot be said enough! @TheUberOverLord - With regards to your warnings to others, I couldn't agree more and would only be paraphrasing your advice. :rolleyes: Other IP cam owners would do themselves a service by taking...

    @networkcameracritic Superb quality of the of the key element in frame. Is that out of the box, was there any tweaking involved to get the light levels working so effectively?

    Thanks msantic :encouragement: Hi Philipp, welcome to the forum. I don't have any experience with Synology devices, so I can't say if that has anything to do with it. It sounds like data transfer rate/bandwidth issues though, or others devices on the port, or maybe QoS configuration on your...

    Relative to Sunrise/Sunset

    @fenderman - I have the correct local time set in Windows, but the Sunrise/Sunset in BI is way off. Have I misunderstood where the geo-location should be set?

    Not to derail the thread, but how is the Sunrise and Sunset parameters set in BI? I can't see any related settings options and currently my sunrise in BI is usually about 12:50AM :D

    New Hikvision Bullets DS-2CD2T32

    Wow! How good is the night image on the DS-2CD2T32! 80mtr IR rating, that's awesome. Because of the dark glass on the front I can't see the EXIR illuminators in any pics and can't see it stated in the specs, but how many illuminators does it have?? and what does the front of camera look like...

    License Plates at Night

    That's with 12mm lens already!? I can see the difficulty. Partially I think more ambient light would really help. It's tough when the headlights will hit the lens at the same time you need to see the plate, So no IR. Even if some light reflected off the plate, because of the reflective metallic...

    No troubles gonzo here ! Okay, your PC is not what you would call a "Power Machine" :p but I don't think it's incapable of using BI with a single stream... but, just in case: follow the config options I have shown. This should result in producing almost the lightest possible stream and almost...

    Cable is a more stable connection than wireless. Wireless connection is susceptible to interferences and there can be tricky problems with signal transmission and the final quality of the image (Just so you know what is possible)... but I have used wireless in a few situations where it was...

    Nice !! I'm happy it worked out well :) ...With Blue Iris, I know that you can put parameters on the space/size of recordings. You may be able to set a filter for dates, but I'm not sure how. Although you can filter the clips and group them into days/weeks, does that do the same thing you are...

    Make sure that the CMS is not running in the background, it could be too much load. I am not entirely sure that it is caused by your BI settings, but here are some settings you could try. (The relevant areas are highlighted) Other things worth considering... Does it happen while recording...

    Hi Cybirian, Welcome to IPCT. As a Web Server Admin, I'm assuming you have managed some troubleshooting with your network and may have eliminated other devices on your network as being the cause?
