    How to enable a camera after it was disabled?

    I didn't find it in the BI help, but I'm sure it is there. :) I did search BI help, but I have a wireless keyboard, and the BI computer is in a closet, but not that far away. Range of the keyboard is terrible, so it was a game of move toward the closet to search BI help item, then walk back over...

    How to enable a camera after it was disabled?

    Found it, right click, in the pop up window, uncheck Hide disabled cameras. All I have to do is post, in order to find the solution myself.

    How to enable a camera after it was disabled?

    I bought a new camera, plugged it in, set it up in Blue Iris, but because I wasn't going to immediately install it, I disabled it in the camera properties window for that camera. Now I want to bring it back, but I can't find a way to enable it. I don't see anything in the Options section, and I...

    Dyn vs NoIP?

    Dyn is getting expensive! 1st year I paid $25, next time I renewed for $54 (2 year subscription), now they want $72 (for 2 year subscription). No-IP "no-nag" is $24.95 a year.

    What can I do with out of use 5.2.5 non-upgradeable 2032?

    Cameras DS-2CD2032-I: I have one camera at 5.2.5 build 14201 and 3 at 5.2.0 build 140721. Do I need to bring the 5.2.0 cameras up to 5.2.5 before upgrading them? Similar to what was asked in post 3: My cameras are not exposed to the internet but I would like to expose my Blue Iris PC someday...

    2432F-IW (chinese?) needs fw, but which version?

    For the Chinese cameras on older firmware. Am I at risk? They are on my network behind a firewall and I currently do not have an open port to see them outside of my LAN. Makes me nervous (I have no experience) using telnet to make changes. If someone gets into a camera, can they get elsewhere...

    2432F-IW (chinese?) needs fw, but which version?

    Confused, in this thread DS-2CD2032-I hacked you say to upgrade to 5.4.41. But here you say 5.2.5. What are people using? I had problems with all 5 cameras today. Could not access them. I used the password reset tool on 4 of 5,they were <V5.3. #5 is 5.3.3 and the password reset tool does not...

    Can't see image in browser

    ie, same thing, no picture, same message, download and install the plugin, which I did a couple of times. Even uninstalled the plugin and installed again. No love. So I downloaded and installed Chrome, and added ie tab. Works! I guess it's time to say goodbye to Firefox and fall in line with...

    Can't see image in browser

    When I log into a camera (any of the 5 hikvison I own) I get this message "Please click here to download and install the plug-in. Close the browser when installing the plug in." I download the plug-in, close my browser (firefox), install the plug-in, open the browser, and get the same message...

    Distribute cameras images to other locations

    Reporting back on the solution Fenderman recommended. I finally got around to installing it and it works great. I may be at about the limit for the remote monitor or my monitor is too fussy. I'd estimate about 150 foot run from house to detached garage. CAT-6 runs from mid-point in finished...

    1st time with BI and Daylight savings time, time did not change

    Thanks Fenderman! Thanks for your help, I found the setting. I did not see it under Configuration, Time settings, but after your post, I realized I was not in advanced settings, so the DST tab was hidden. Once I enabled advanced setting the DST tab presents itself. Stupid me, had DST enabled but...

    1st time with BI and Daylight savings time, time did not change

    All of my Hikvision cameras are set to sync with time.windows.com and this has kept all 5 cameras in sync with time (within a few seconds of each other). It was suggested to use this method so I have time and date on the videos that are recorded direct to disk. So today, Monday 8 PM PDT, I...

    Distribute cameras images to other locations

    Thanks to both of you! I have read about bp2008's program. It did say it used a lot of resources. Wasn't sure machine got the heavy usage, I assume the client? I admit I don't understand computers all that well but do manage to eventually get things working with the help of folks like you. I...

    Distribute cameras images to other locations

    I have a dedicated PC running Blue Iris. I currently have 5 cameras (not that the # of cameras matters). I would like to have a few other locations in the house that can display the images I see on the monitor connected directly to my BI computer. Is there a way to do this? If so how? Thanks!

    Help with Time Sync for my cameras

    Thank you, I will give that a try. I set my router to allow port trigger for 123 UDP, then tested it from the Hikvision camera time setting window, it now reports that it is working.

    Help with Time Sync for my cameras

    I'm not quite this paranoid but maybe because I don't know enough. :) If I stayed local, via the time server on the BI machine, then I am still left with "why isn't my machine updating the times?" and the test "(edit) not BI, but Hikvision camera" runs says it fails. I'm going to open port 123...

    Help with Time Sync for my cameras

    I'm doing direct to disc recording. To the camera time stamps into the recordings (in another thread) I was told to do this (I rewrote this a bit from fendermans instructions, but only for a bit more clarity): Starting new thread as the other is kind of all over the place): To sync the times on...

    Direct to disc, Direct to disk (please help a blind man)

    Trying to find where to set this. Searched this forum for both terms in title above. Returned about 12 threads in total, but none mentioned where this is set. I've been reading the BI help, it talks about direct to disc in the "Camera Properties - Record", but does not say where to set this. I...

    2 views of the same camera

    Not sure what I did, but now I have two views of the same camera. Tyring to figure out how to get rid of one view without deleting the camera. Why would anyone want 2 views of the same camera? I gambled and clicked on one of the images and selected "Delete Camera". It removed the duplicate view...

    PC with Blue Iris just too complicated. UAC issue

    Not finding the Blue Iris turtorial on Sevenforums.com. But thanks to BP2008 and his tip to run BI as a service, I'm now on to learning BI and thrilled that a reboot starts BI so I don't miss recordings.

    PC with Blue Iris just too complicated. UAC issue

    BP2008, Thank you! It doesn't restart the view on the monitor but I checked task manager and it is running. To be honest I never checked task manager to see if it was running before your input. I still need to answer yes when I want the view on screen, but the important thing is that it is...

    PC with Blue Iris just too complicated. UAC issue

    Dell Optiplex 9020 running Windows 10. I asked about this many months ago but no luck, so the PC has just sat for months, with BI getting killed off upon any kind of reboot. Whenever I click on the Blue Iris Admin icon, a window pops up: User Account Control, Do you want to allow this app to...

    Images from another computer on my LAN look like crud

    I type 192.168.... to log into my Blue Iris PC. The images are horrible and I can't select one camera and zoom in etc.. Sorry, newb to Blue Iris, what do I need to do to get a quality view of my cameras and manipulate the views, playback etc from another PC on my network? Hikvision was easy. I...
