    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    mrslother, congrats on getting audio to work on your camera. Great comments and write up! I am positive this post will help others working on the same configuration. Cheezy, (update), the microphone you recommended finally arrived yesterday. I will now be making an RCA connector to wire to...

    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    Woo Hoo! Sound success.. FINALLY! While I wait for the microphone Cheezy recommended, I continued to work on the speaker out portion. The Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) has a cabling "block" that has 4 connection points. (1) Mic in, (2) Ground for Mic, (3) Sound out, (4) Ground for sound. I...

    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    Thanks Cheezy. With mic solved.. I now need to figure out the sound out... My experiment that I just finished with was to solder a "3.5 female stereo" jack to two wires (one ground and one wire connected across the two stereo tabs. Sound definitely works on powered speakers, but the...

    Blue Iris 4 64-bit (very, very slow, not very responsive mouse zoom).

    I upgraded as soon as it was available on three different PC's. It is running better than the 32bit version. I am not having the issues you describe.

    Thanks Cheesy. I followed the link and think that all I see is a cable. Is that what I order?

    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    fenderman, thanks again. This is actually the only write up I have read on the subject. Update: I have been experimenting with multiple products and approaches. I finally got a microphone working. It is a $20 mic that uses a watch battery as a power source. I soldered a female mono plug...

    About to buy Hikvision 2732 cameras

    I see that I am late to this discussion, but thought I would add my experience with the Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS. Based on a recommendation from fenderman (thanks fenderman), I purchased this camera. I am unable to use AliExpress in Washington state (some dispute over taxes and tarrifs), so I...

    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    I picked up the Hikvision Dome camera (DS-2CD2732F-I(S)). It has a wire plug to connect sound IN (microphone) and sound OUT (externally powered speaker). It will be mono, since the connection to the camera is one (in) and one (ground) for both the microphone and sound out. I have experimented...

    Blue Iris V4 - 64bit LOOKING GOOD!

    I upgraded to the new version 4, 64bit app. It is running outstanding and is actually (to my surprise) using less memory than version 3, 32bit. I was limited on the number of cameras I could run on the 32bit version. I had around 7 cameras running and was pegging out at around 1.8g of memory...

    Help with getting GV-BL5310 working with BI

    I own a GeoVision GV Hybrid LPR Cam 10m and have it working with Blue Iris. I had to go into the camera software settings and enable RTSP. It turns out that it uses Port 8554. Once I pointed Blue Iris to that port, the camera video worked. I am not pleased with this camera though. I really...

    Setting up Profiles

    I FINALLY (almost) get profiles now! Again, thanks for all your patience on this one and for sticking with me!

    Setting up Profiles

    I am almost there... So, does that mean I need to go into each camera and make sure that they are configured the way I want in "Profile 2"? Global Profile: Configured with a group as well as individual camera settings. Profile 2: Configured for night time and removed the group, but is used...

    Setting up Profiles

    So the night time profile (GATE profile I built in Profile #2), is actually being used by all cameras, but since it removes the "grouping of camera one and camera two(LPR)" it isn't triggering both cameras? (again, I apologize for dragging this on for you, but I really do want to understand)

    Setting up Profiles

    Well I'll be.. This worked just like you instructed. I was cautious about experimenting with this solution because we were leaving on a short vacation, but once we returned I put this in place. I'm still not 100% understanding how the cameras "group together" and record during the day, but are...

    Two way Audio either through camera or other device?

    Thanks fenderman. I now have things to test! Appreciate your guidance. Yes, the phone is on the wifi, but I have the cameras on a separate subnet. (my wifi is 192.168.1.x while the cameras are working from the Security PC on 192.168.100.x) First, I'll test solely on a cell connection...

    Two way Audio either through camera or other device?

    fenderman, I'm working on getting two-way audio at my front door entrance. I decided try an experiment first by adding a "Hikvision 3MP POE Built-in Microphone IR IP Network Camera Wi-Fi DS-2CD2432F-IWcamera under the protected eaves of the house. The issue I'm seeing right now is that the...

    Trying to get jpeg image sent along with text alert

    I dont seem to be able to get an image sent along with a text alert. I see the option and have it selected. I get the text alert but there is no image sent along with it. I use ATT (cell service) and Yahoo is the e-mail service. Does anyone have this option working?

    Two way Audio either through camera or other device?

    I corresponded with Robert. He logged into the Vivotek and said: "unfortunately, it uses a custom protocol for it's talk-to-camera which I probably will not support.for listen to camera, put 2 in the Ch.# field because the default stream 1 is large and causes bandwidth issues". I had received a...

    Thanks again for the help fenderman. I will do this and see how it works! (don't know why my brain is making this so tough to understand! Age I guess....)

    IR lighting too bright

    Thanks for the feedback, I will try a couple remote controls and see what they do. The issue I'm having is the camera IR Leds being bright themselves. As you drive down the road, the camera stands out at night glowing red like an insane beacon saying "here I am".... So, a potential solution...

    IR lighting too bright

    I'm trying to find a way to illuminate an area at night, without being obnoxious or obvious. It looks like the standard nighttime IR lighting is very bright for the cameras. In reading there is something called "covert IR" that is in the 940-950nm infra red range. I'm not finding the specs on...

    Setting up Profiles

    I am trying to figure out how to solve a particular recording situation and think that Profiles may be the answer. I have two cameras in one group. When either of them are triggered, they both start recording. This lets me cover a larger field of view, left to right, and capture movement...

    Two external Hard Drives?

    Outstanding! Thanks for the response.

    Two external Hard Drives?

    Is it possible to configure Blue Iris with two external hard drives, and aim some cameras to one disk, then aim the remaining cameras to the second disk? The setting would be "directly to disk" for both sets of cameras video streams.

    Two way Audio either through camera or other device?

    I am corresponding with Robert now. He says he will put my camera in his work queue. The good news is that specs from the camera state: Two way audio port: 5060 Supports two-way audio via SIP protocol Hopefully this means there might be a way..... If not, I'll have to purchase the replacement...
