    12 Hour Clips, from 10pm to 10am and 10 am to 10pm?

    Hey guys, another question for all the pros on here! :) I would like my BI to record all motion clips between 10pm to 10am as one single file so that I can easily review each camera's footage for what happened overnight in one file. I currently have my cameras set to "combine or cut" each 12...

    Dahua IPC-HFW4300S Infrared Issues?

    Fenderman, do you ever sleep!? :laugh: Thank you for the quick response sir! That is reassuring to know that the cameras are fine. Would you say the best option here is to simply add more lighting so as to negate the need for IR at all? Thanks!

    Dahua IPC-HFW4300S Infrared Issues?

    Hi guys, I have 9x Dahua IPC-HFW4300S 3MP cameras that I just recently set up at a building and am having issues with the night vision on two of them. 7 of the cameras are in areas that do not require night vision due to the lighting at night but the two that are in darker areas switch to night...

    Is it possible to view 9 cameras in a 3x3 grid in Blue Iris?

    All 9 cameras are set to 3 MP, with 2048x1536 resolution. I double-checked each camera's properties in BI and it is showing that resolution on all 9 cameras. Thank you for helping!

    Is it possible to view 9 cameras in a 3x3 grid in Blue Iris?

    Hi guys, Still kind of new with BI and hoping to be able to view my 9 cameras in a 3x3 grid. Is this possible? BI by default wants to put 2 rows of 4 cameras each and then a third row with only one camera. I've tried dragging the layout slider in the bottom right but all that does is enlarge...

    Dahua 3mp fixed eyeballs

    Forgive the n00b question but what is the difference between the fixed eye and the Dahua bullet 3MP cameras? From a design perspective why do you choose the HDW-4300S vs the HFW-4300S? Does one do better in certain situations versus the other? Thanks!

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Hi guys, Sorry for the late reply -- life has a funny way of keeping you busy! Just wanted to come back with an update on my setup and what has worked and what hasn't worked so far. So instead of using 6 Dahua IPC-HFW4300S cameras as I had stated in my original post, I ended up adding two...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Actually I guess what I'd like to do is if the browser is IE, to automatically have it login to default2.htm and if it's not IE (and thus no ActiveX), to default to ui2.htm. Any web pros know how to do that? Thanks!

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Thanks for creating this bp2008 -- looks awesome! One question -- is there a way to make the login page by default go to ui2.htm? Where could I edit login.htm to always refer the user to ui2.htm? Or is that a bad idea? Thanks.

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Thank you everyone again for such detailed and well thought out replies to my questions. At this point I think I should try Blue Iris on an i7 machine and see how that works, and also try the i5 NUC with Exacq and Dahua's PSS software for some comparison. Razer, which version of Exacq do you...

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Thank you bp2008 and Razer. I am completely new to IP Cameras and therefore have no particular bias towards Blue Iris or any of its competitors so am completely open to suggestions for alternatives. Razer, are there any disadvantages (besides the price) of using the Dahuas with Exacq versus...

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Thank you bp2008, that's really helpful. Is your Brix Pro running Blue Iris, or do you use a different monitoring software? Is your recommendation not to use Blue Iris just because of the noise and temperature with it being inside the server rack? Perhaps I should abandon the idea of having...

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Thanks bp2008, what kind of hardware would you suggest for doing a 6 camera setup? I can build a rig myself, but was hoping I could find something that I could fit into my current server rack (a tripp lite srw6u). (one of the rack spaces will be taken up by a new PoE switch). Any ideal...

    Can I use an Intel NUC as my NVR?

    Hi guys, Quick question for the setup that I'm considering. Will be using 6x Dahua IPC-HFW4300S cameras with a PoE switch. Was thinking of using an Intel NUC i5 machine as the NVR running Blue Iris. Here is a link to the exact one...
