    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    I can admit it... It was my mistake. I had forgotten that those are the only 2 cameras I ran all the way back to the switch before my basement walls were completed. The rest are run through a POE switch in the garage. I got up top there and saw all the blinky-blinky saying network was working...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    Good points, I will do some more checking. There have been no power changes, but I can certainly climb up to the POE switch and pull, wait 20, and re-plug.

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    AngryIP shows them all except those couple as well: So - I'll have to get a ladder and pull them down tomorrow to reset. EDIT: post game in above... I tried 2 different PC's (one real, one VM). Different browsers and also direct from Blue Iris. Nothing shows them, unfortunately on...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    I verified each camera multiple times before hitting save. These are the only two that did not come back. My IP Addresses are like this: Front Camera 192.168.112.10 Reolink Garage Camera Inside 111.106 192.168.112.11 Reolink Garage Camera Front 111.26 192.168.112.12 Amcrest Yard...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    I put all of my cameras on a VLAN. I have 8 total cameras right now with a smattering of Reolink, Amcrest, and then 2 of the EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X cameras. All of the cameras took the IP properly, but only the 2 EmpireTech cameras no longer respond after updating the IP address. The change...

    Blue Iris, Alerts, Stopped running python script

    I put a python script in place recently to send alerts to Pushover. It worked fine initially with this configuration: The script itself is on Github at: GitHub - scudre/pushover-blueiris: Python script to send Blue Iris motion detection alerts via Pushover I added some code to the script...

    Blue Iris seems to be recording oddly

    Gotcha. Also - I think my real problem was that I assumed the clips would show me where things happened. I had the settings for Alerts set up to 10GB and that was only saving a few days worth of alerts and then deleting them. At least that is what I think I was doing. I had it set up like...

    Blue Iris seems to be recording oddly

    I was looking through my camera feeds (haven't in awhile) and noticed that going way back it shows my cameras at 12:00:00AM, 8:00:00AM, and 4:00:00PM on every camera all the time like this: This set here shows a person detected on the 4:00:00pm recording. The problem is, that didn't happen...

    IPC-Color4K-X stopped working

    Just as a followup... took me some time as I was a bit busy with other things (pesky work stuff), but I pulled the RJ45 and wired a new one on (male instead of female), plugged into my network, and the camera is working! Yes, now I will have to install myself with some protection. Thank you...

    IPC-Color4K-X stopped working

    Thanks, will give the Deoxit a try. No, it was not protected properly - Silicon sealant was used similar to marine applications from what my buddy said.

    IPC-Color4K-X stopped working

    I have 2 of these cameras since May of last year as i recall. One of them always worked. The other one seems to stop working now and again. But - without me doing anything it suddenly will work. it is up higher on the house, but since it is nice outside I figured I would go have a look...

    Camera setup - settings help

    awesome, thank you. I have made some of those settings adjustments on the EmpireTech cameras and will do some testing today (and tonight at dark). I'll get my other cameras adjusted also.

    Camera setup - settings help

    I've read a bit on the forums here, but still confused a bit on how to tweak the settings of each camera to optimal. I have not really done any settings adjustments for the most part (analysis paralysis, probably). Here is an example of my EmpireTech Cameras: I have ready that 30FPS is...

    Cameras recording too late

    Wasn't aware of that, but too late now. I have 2 EmpireTech cameras for important zones and an Amcrest for a garage zones. So far the Reolinks have worked well except for this - but that doesn't appear to be related to the brand.

    Cameras recording too late

    Are these checkboxes the ones I should uncheck? I changed Interframe to 1x on both cameras. I will have to check my other EmpireTech and Amcrest cameras also.

    Yes, even though I record continuous... rewind is like th I think that is the BI Camera status page, but I don't see "KEY" anywhere. And on the Reolink Camera:

    Cameras recording too late

    I've noticed that some of my cameras record by the time someone walks all the way up to and/or past the area I am recording. For example, when someone walks through the backyard - I don't really know where they came from because they are practically past the camera's range by the time the...

    IPC-Color4K-X no signal in BI

    Ha ha - that was the first thing I thought to myself. But - like you said, it is now working.

    IPC-Color4K-X no signal in BI

    I deleted all the settings for the camera, then re-set it up, it seems to be working for now. Seriously no idea what was going on.

    IPC-Color4K-X no signal in BI

    I have 2 of these cameras (among a few others. They are on my network at xxx.xxx.xxx.21 and xxx.xxx.xxx.22. Both show up fine in the camera's web interface. Both used to show up fine in BI. Lately, though, one of the two cameras is not showing up. All of the settings on the cameras...

    Do solar garden-style lights help?

    Any amount of lumens or specific lights that you would suggest?

    Do solar garden-style lights help?

    I have decent cameras right now (IPC-Color4K-X) and will likely be adding a few cheaper cameras. The LED on the camera is ok to bring in some light, but I was curious if adding some edge lighting around the house would help get a better night picture? The 2 areas now are: I was just...

    BI Storage Issues + moving .bvr files to new location

    It is a VM with a C drive and E drive (both on same SSD on the ESXi host). I think I will eventually try to get to some spinnys there, but for now I have to do something. Money isn't limitless right now (partially because I just bought a shit-ton of networking equipment and cameras)

    BI Storage Issues + moving .bvr files to new location

    The main BI server is a VM on an ESXi server. I don't have unlimited storage there - hence moving the rest to the NAS.

    BI Storage Issues + moving .bvr files to new location

    E: drive is local I really have no idea how I use New and Stored :) Like I mentioned - I really just want one location for the temporary (1-2 day videos) and then another location for the historical stuff (0-30 day, probably). My original thought was have new stuff for 2 days like the image...

    BI Storage Issues + moving .bvr files to new location

    On my Blue Iris system, I have been trying to set up the storage, but have made errors previously where I didn't have enough storage to complete more than 12 hours at a time. Not ideal when your kids slip out in the evenings on occasion :) I did fix that, but I did it relatively quickly and...

    IPC-Color-4K , BI not finding streams

    That is what I thought at first, but I verified that I am using the admin user for both. With that said, I created a specific onvif user and that does work, so you are correct. I'm just not sure why since i set them both up the same way (from scratch, no importing, and with a script in...

    IPC-Color-4K , BI not finding streams

    Good idea. When I have some more time I will do a factory reset on that thing. See if that helps resolve.

    IPC-Color-4K , BI not finding streams

    I just like things to make sense. Same camera, same version, same firmware, same settings - both should find/inspect the same way.

    IPC-Color-4K , BI not finding streams

    Here is what I get on the find/inspect screenshot: I did set it up as Dahua and then just changed the subtype, which seems like it works - but I have no idea if that is accurate: I only assume it is accurate because when I go back to the general tab, I see this: and that looks very...
