    IR control and camera model

    Im pretty sure I figured it out. the issue was with the settings in the dahua gui. under the profile, it needs to be set to full time day in order to give me control of the IR and profiles in BI.

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    I plan to have a camera to the side of my door for ID however I was just wondering if this camera was capable of less blur in the night video. It would be different if it was completely dark but the neighborhood is pretty well lit and I have 2 bright porch lights by the subject. I will post a...

    IR control and camera model

    I wanted to manually toggle the IR to make sure it worked in BI as well as test some of my settings with the light on and off. When I currently set my profile to night it doesn't turn the IR on until the profile from the dahua gui turns it on. I will try changing the camera to rtsp. I will also...

    IR control and camera model

    I changed the camera to the one dahua model that had ONVIF and still have zero control of the IR from within BI. Are there any settings in the dahua web gui that may not let BI have control of the IR?

    IR control and camera model

    For the profiles, I followed one of the videos on here to set them up and have been clicking save. I will choose one of the dahua models with ONVIF and see if that gets it working.

    IR control and camera model

    The IR won't work from BI for me, even if I change the profile to night. I have to get into the dahua gui to adjust it. My camera in BI is set as generic. The only options in blue iris do not include my camera. I have posted a picture of the options for choosing a camera in BI. Which one of...

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    I will try cleaning the lense. I will also mess with the dnr and exposure some. I am going to get another camera for ID that sits to the side of the front door and is mounted at 6 feet. The current camera is mounted about 8 feet off of the ground.

    IR control and camera model

    I have 2 questions relating to BI. My camera model is dahua ipc-hdw5231R-ZE 1. I have no control of the IR light on my cameras from BI. I have to go to the dahua web gui in order to turn it on, off or on auto. Usually auto is fine but I would like to be able to turn it on or off...

    best settings for dahua web GUI

    Thanks! I was going for a nice clear static scene and didn't think of the motion. Would it ever be advised to keep the IR off at night and use the light from the porch and keep everything in color? How do I control the IR from blue Iris? I can only get it to work from the web gui. The BI...

    best settings for dahua web GUI

    I have a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and was wondering what the best settings were for this camera. I am using blue iris if that makes a difference in any of the settings. everything seems really washed out at night with the IR. I have included a few screen shots of my current settings which should all be...

    Best mounting options on Dutch lap siding

    The only mounting blocks I found for Dutch lap are very similar to what's on amazon but the are very thin walled and dont seem like they would support much. I ordered on from amazon that was about twice as much and we will see how it turns out. Thanks.

    Best mounting options on Dutch lap siding

    I am trying to figure out the best way to mount my dahua HDW5231R-ZE on Dutch lap siding without cutting too big of a hole. The only sturdy option I have found requires cutting a 4" square hole in the siding.

    trouble with remote access

    I think I'm going to have to go through the openvpn manual and see why I can't connect to blue iris on my phone. Something must not be set up correctly
