    What the heck is going on with my system?

    The breaker never flipped. I may have accidentally flipped it while troubleshooting my own mistake of using the wrong extension cord for my light (2 cords at location from my testing, only one plugged in) The plan has been to get a backup propane generator, but especially with the price of...

    What the heck is going on with my system?

    Yes, the windows taskbar shows the no internet connection symbol. Edge, firefox, etc will not work during this time, as it will say I have no internet. I am however, able to access my cameras from my BI phone app and I can ping www.google.com and get a reply. it's possible I've got something...

    What the heck is going on with my system?

    I have an NVR. A couple of them actually, since I purchased an 8 channel and outgrew it. I said in the beginning that my problem wasn't directly a blue iris problem, but the problems are preventing me from running Blue Iris to it's full potential and are negating any benefits of using it at all...

    What the heck is going on with my system?

    I don't think this is directly Blue Iris related but I think it's the best place for the thread, as I may have to give up Blue Iris if I can't get this figured out. Firstly, My Blue Iris PC is a Dell Optiplex 5050 with an I7-6700, 32 GB of RAM, dual NIC, using the onboard and a TP-Link card I...

    Reboot PC when no internet connection?

    Thanks Randy. That is the kind of suggestions that prompted me to post this questions. But it looks like I have some other problem. I had a package delivered today and never got any alerts, and when I got home I never received any alerts. I was able to use the blue iris app on my phone and...

    Reboot PC when no internet connection?

    Thanks. I did see that in my search but wasn't sure if it would work the same with Windows 10, and wondered if there were more options now since that was posted 8 years ago. I can try it out.

    Reboot PC when no internet connection?

    I wasn't sure where to put this, so this is the section I ended up choosing. Yesterday I had an issue. I was home in the morning and my step-dad showed up and I didn't even know because I didn't get any notifications. I used remote desktop to log into my Blue Iris PC, which worked fine, and...

    Memorial Day 2022 Promotion

    I appreciate it. I already ordered 3 5442 varifocals, 2 5442 3.6mm and one 5442 6mm yesterday to get my sister started on replacing her Swann system, so I've had a chance to take advantage of the sale.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Evil doesn't just corrupt bad people. Evil corrupts good people by convincing them that wrong is right. I also believe that a huge number of liberals are inherently good people that aren't trying to watch the world burn, but their ignorance and refusal to look at things logically enough to know...

    What's your "Go to" night settings to start with?

    Thanks. I've seen that post before but couldn't find it. I tried the settings changes and they are a lot better, but if I want to keep tweaking, do I lower the shutter number, like 0-7.5 or go the other way, like 0-10? Or would I lower the gain first? I guess I might just need more light, as the...

    What's your "Go to" night settings to start with?

    Do ya'll have a Go-to start point for your camera settings when setting them up for night time? I've learned a lot on these forums, but I still can't comprehend camera settings. I have some 5442 camera's, an HFW5241E-Z12E mounted about 100' away from my barn and zoomed in to just catch the...

    Seattle, not a great place to pitch a tent ..

    This type of thinking is great at being politically correct but it's not instinctual or reality based. If this woman did this to your mother, father, wife, child, etc, in broad daylight, in front of witnesses and with video footage, would you simply say "well she must have felt she was...

    Paper Delivery Hit and Run

    Strictly looking at cam names, the second view is indeed a ptz, and the last view is his LPR camera. The camera captured the plate without issue so I'd venture to say it is properly set up and serves as an acceptable LPR regardless of camera type

    Paper Delivery Hit and Run

    At first I thought it's probably a reolink 4k ptz, but then it hit me that I've seen their marketing and that thing would be in color if that's the case

    Seattle, not a great place to pitch a tent ..

    You think I am missing your point because you are missing mine. Too much is trying to get combined when it should be separated. Let's try to break it down. No, we do not. The government has been very effective for a long time at circumventing the constitution and violating the law themselves...

    Seattle, not a great place to pitch a tent ..

    That attitude has been formed because of the failures of the current judicial system to adequately enforce the law. If criminals were properly punished for their actions instead of turned loose to offend again that attitude would be a lot less prevalent. However, executions in response to...

    Seattle, not a great place to pitch a tent ..

    That type of thinking sickens me, and I am about as conservative as they come. To have the mindset that we live in a country that is ruled by the Constitution and law shows a willful disregard to the Constitution and the law. We have a Government that has far surpassed the powers given to it by...

    Need help choosing the right switch

    I appreciate that. I wasn't planning on fully replacing it. I think only 4 ports are POE so I'll probably try to learn how to set it up when time allows and incorporate it into my system somewhere, somehow. I'm not sure how many cam's I'll end up with, but it may just end up being a lot...

    Need help choosing the right switch

    Thanks everyone. Wasn't sure those Netgear switches would hold up but multiple recommendations convinced me to pull the trigger. I'll have one tomorrow according to Amazon

    Need help choosing the right switch

    The problem is that apparently brocade switches have POE disabled by default. You have to log in and set it up to enable Poe on the ports you want. Documentation found online references a cable you need to use, which goes into an rj 45 Jack but I'm not sure if it's a standard patch cable or...

    Need help choosing the right switch

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a good switch for my cameras. I'm fine with used on Ebay but I've learned I don't know what I'm doing. I purchased a 12 port Brocade ICX 6430 just to test the waters and after messing with it for the past hour, I've decided that I'll never even figure out how to enable...

    Internet Speeds: What do you have?

    I'm currently on Starlink Satellite internet. Speed fluctuates but this is typical. $110 a month for all you can eat.

    Lets pick some locations and hardware!

    I get what you're saying. I remember having my 4k camera there before and being pretty happy with it, so I just put it back up since I still have the plate I used to temp mount it in the soffit without making holes. I just realized I never come around the house from one direction. Someone coming...

    Lets pick some locations and hardware!

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm looking to Face ID anyone getting into the house or the barn. I'm not too concerned about anyone stealing my trees so that area would mostly be overview for the driveway and wildlife. No need to face ID the deer though. Lighting is simply a porch light...

    Lets pick some locations and hardware!

    Okay guys, I"m FINALLY getting around to putting up some cameras at my not-so new to me anymore house I've had for a year. I haven't had any issues out here yet but petty crime is picking up in the area and I want good footage for when it works it's way out here. I've posted some pictures of my...

    Ideas for the best way to do this

    Just an update, camera installs in town are done for now. One house is using nanostation loco M5's to transmit just 2 cams at the moment, one of which is the 4k/X, and from what I've seen, that camera is sweet. I might end up putting one out here at my house as well. One of my Loco M2's decided...

    Ideas for the best way to do this

    Bing maps are a little up to date with the exception that some trees have been cut back. The red dots indicate rough positions of where I'll put nanostations. There is clear line of sight between all points. The nanostations between the house in the middle and the one on the northeast corner may...

    Ideas for the best way to do this

    I'm planning on using the Nanostations in town, hopefully getting camera streams from the houses on either side of my mom to her NVR. I'm looking into what would be best to shoot the 3,000 foot from my house to hers, so that she can take advantage of my starlink internet instead of the local...
