    how reconnect a deleted mobile device?

    I am setting up geofencing and wanted to use my new phone, which was on the mobile device list. In deleting some old devices I inadvertently deleted the new one. I don't see a button in the "Mobile Devices" tab to add new devices. How can I do this?

    HIK Vision web interface

    I prefer not to put square pegs in round holes. Life is easier that way.

    HIK Vision web interface

    Nope. It works great out back on my rear deck cam setup, just not in front. In front the issue is turning cars 50 yards away that then drive by with headlight bleed over and the camera view angle. I have successfully set up zone crossing here but the geometry of the situation makes it so if...

    HIK Vision web interface

    I agree BI is more powerful. It just won't work in this particular situation. If you saw it you would understand. So far the line crossing is 100% spot on with detects and zero falses.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I just tried line crossing and it does seem to work great. Man, I was struggling with this area for years on BI and had given up. No combination of gerrymandered zones and zone crossing would work reliably w/o many falses, or conversely, non-detects. I set up HIK line crossing last night and...

    HIK Vision web interface

    I suspect one could use the cams' native ability to send e-mail alerts on intrusion detect and line crossing independent of whatever BlueIris is doing. I may try that.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I need to go back into BlueIris to see if they have added their own smart functions. Basic video based motion detection is pretty useless in an outdoors environment.

    HIK Vision web interface

    Alastair, do you know if/how well the HIK "face detection" works? If it works that might be the answer to my challenging motion detect environment in terms of sending me an alert when someone approaches my home. I haven't fooled with it yet.

    HIK Vision web interface

    OK I installed it and opened the cam IP address in IE and it works. I had to do that to turn off the OSD time stamp. For some reason that would not work in a browser page with the video not displaying.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I found the menu item to open the URL in IE and it almost works. I get a prompt to install a plug-in from "Apple" but when I click on it it is from HIK in China. I assume this is some sort of ActiveX thing. I am kind of leery of installing this on my PC.

    What dash cam are you using?

    I am running an eSky dual but only using the front cam. I got this one for the stealth install with the main control and recording unit in the glove box, just the small cam visible.

    HIK Vision web interface

    Thanks... I think I had this same issue with a couple of Amcrest cams I bought 2 years ago. I probably won't bother to reinstall the old IE just for this since they stream fine in BlueIris.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I just picked up a new HIK DS-2CD2142FWD-IS-4MM and am unable to see the video stream in the web interface either Chrome or Edge. I found some discussion of this from a while back and it seems like an issue with all HIK. Is this still the case? Is there a plug-in or workaround? I guess it...

    Strange BI problem

    I moved the PC running my BI server then grabbed the keyboard to do some stuff and the monitor wasn't waking up so I kept clicking on the touchpad. Turns out the monitor's HDMI cable had wiggled loose and all that clicking and pressing on the touchpad was doing stuff to my BI setup. I had 6...
