    Privacy Screen

    I created a png with paint.exe which creates a rectangle. I can't pull the corners in BlueIris to make a trapezoid to match the stretched window in the view perspective. Please let me know if somebody has an idea.

    Privacy Screen

    My camera is catching a neighbors window. I really don't want to record what is happening inside the window. However, I would like to capture if someone walks in between the camera and the neighbors window. Granted I can see that this could be a difficult problem to solve in the software.

    CPU Usage HIGH

    Sounds like I can no longer push out installing a new PC. I have a Dual Core Pentium E2220 2.4Ghz 800Mhz CPU in the T100. BTW. I noticed that the CPU goes down around 52% when BlueIris is minimized, when it is restored it is around 92%.

    CPU Usage HIGH

    I started noticing high CPU usage after adding a second camera (Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS). Granted my server is old (Dell PowerEdge T100). I believe it has an integrated ATI ES1000 video. Would it help if I installed a new GPU? Would it need to be Intel?

    Poor Hikvision Wireless on mini-dome ( Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS )

    The only way to solve this issue is by installing a second AP nearby. Does anyone know if this camera or BlueIris allows to create privacy screens? e.g. allow me to add an overlay in a certain area?

    Poor Hikvision Wireless on mini-dome ( Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS )

    Generally, I use insider on a laptop in my house. I am in a townhome, so there is air wave competition. I have not gone with my laptop near the cam yet. But a ipad works just fine next to it and shows 3 bars.

    Poor Hikvision Wireless on mini-dome ( Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS )

    I am experiencing very poor wireless on my new Hikvision mini dome DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS. It doesn't connect at the outside of the house. So, I took it on the patio where I have a verified (insider) strong signal with my other devices. The cam still only barley connects, when it does it reports...

    "Failed to modify the settings" - on Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS

    I can't get the camera connected to Wifi. Does anyone have some experience on how to switch it over? -> the issue was the hidden MAC for the wireless adapter. I sued the MAC on the back of the unit for adding it to my MAC security in my AP. I had to disable MAC filtering in order to find out...

    "Failed to modify the settings" - on Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS

    I actually have v5.3.3 Didn't see the last 3 before the build number. I am assuming this is the latest version for the US? Meanwhile I got it to work with a combination of the tool and web browser. Switching to DHCP was not possible in the tool. But somehow I was able to manually give it a...

    PTZ control for Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS - how to configure camera

    I got a new DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS camera. BlueIris seems to detect it as a generic camera. I get video through BlueIris. However, I don't get the PTZ pan/tilt to work. IR on/off seems to work. How should I configure this camera best in BlueIris?

    Hi, I got a new Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS camera. I loaded up the SADP tool. I discovered the cam with the SADP tool and believe that I managed to activate the camera by setting the password. However, I can't switch it to DHCP in order to get a real IP address. I get the error "Failed to...

    Camera installation location needed

    Thank you for the suggestions. My unit consists of both sides on the picture (sun porch and open deck). I was hoping to get away with one camera. I think your idea with the camera under the deck on the left could work if I get a 90 degree viewing angle. The only way onto the deck is through the...

    I am trying to install one camera on the back of row/townhouse: Somebody can walk under the deck from another unit. Only way to the first floor is through the stairs. My idea was to install one wideangle camera under the deck, covering the two windows and the stairs. I though that I could...

    Looking for Mini-UPS for 5v cameras

    Agree with you on that. I have many APC's in use otherwise; e.g. server. The ali product have the right idea. Maybe somebody from APC is listening an create similar product. Replacing the lead-acid battery design with a Lithium DC design seems to make much more sence for many of the new devices.

    That would be a workable solution. Only drawbacks: a bit bulky for the installation location and the AC-DC-AC conversion.
