    Dahua 4MP turret slight blur towards bottom right corner.

    Here are two full res comparing the left and the right side. No it's not a smudge, I went full OCD on both the lens and the cover to make sure it was spotless. Oh well I already mounted and painted it. Not a big deal was just curious if anyone else is having the same issue with this model...

    Dahua 4MP turret slight blur towards bottom right corner.

    I just received my Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A with 2.8mm lens from Aliexpress. Everything is awesome about the camera, but I notice the image gets slightly more blurry the closer it is to the bottom right corner. I tried refocusing the lens but didn't help. It is very minor and probably won't be...

    Question on night picture with IPC-HFW4300R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    For the IPC-HDW4431C-A, does the image gets washed out by the IR at night if the subject is too close to the camera? Say about 4 feet?

    Dahua Audio Problems

    Does the IPC-HDW4431 have wide dynamic range? If it doesn't, how's the shadow look on a bright day?

    Timeline view pick and choose which cameras to play in sync?

    In the timeline view, is it possible to pick and choose which camera(s) you wish to play in sync? It seems you can either have them all in sync or one at a time. Thoughts?

    Found a way to defeat the zone-crossing detection. Anyway to fix it?

    I have a camera with several zones set up with zone crossing detection enabled. If I walk, stop for couple seconds (just enough for the green object rectangle to disappear), then walk again, then stop, I'm able to disable to zone crossing detection. I tried increasing the Make time from 5...

    Better facial capture quality

    Does it look as sharp when you are moving around? What shutter speed do you have it set at?

    Export/Import BI Settings

    Make sure you also double-check the clips/archiving tab to make sure all the drives/free space are still valid for the new machine.

    What are the chances this camera is supported by Blue Iris?

    Actually I'm more worried about it containing Malware that can compromise the rest of my network. Not sure how realistic it is though but one review on Aliexpress said the firmware contains a trojan lol. http://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-surveillance-cameras-infected-with-malware/

    What are the chances this camera works in Blue Iris? I know no one can know for sure but if it's greater than 50% I'll take the chance and purchase one. :)...

    Any inexpensive 5GHz wifi outdoor cameras out there?

    I already have a set of hardwired outdoor cameras as well as a few wifi ones indoor (all 2.4GHz and they all suck). Just looking for one to cover another area.

    Any inexpensive 5GHz wifi outdoor cameras out there?

    All of the outdoor wifi cameras I have looked at only supports 2.4GHz wifi. Are there any inexpensve ones out there that supports 5GHz? I am only looking for 720P or 1080P resolution. I want to spend < $100 on it. Nest and Arlos are out of my budget.

    Blue Iris and Smart Search?

    Does anyone know if Blue Iris has any plan on supporting Smart Search? In a nutshell you can select an area on the screen and it'll automatically search through the footage and skip to the scene when motion occurred. Let's say you noticed a package disappeared on your porch. You can select...

    4.4.6 - October 11, 2016

    Agreed. I have not been able to crash it yet. Although I did manage to lose a few legitimate clips after deleting a few empty clips (0sec 0K). Got the file open error, repaired database, and the clips were magically gone. Could just be coincidence but still didn't make sense to me why they...

    4.4.6 - October 11, 2016

    I didn't save a copy of 4.4.5.3. Is there a link where I can download that version? BI is unusable now it freezes up constantly when trying to play a clip!

    Any experience with scheduling a system image backup in Windows 10?

    So I installed a small SSD (120GB) 4 days ago on my BI server for the OS and NEW folder. Today I checked Samsung Magician and my SMART Wear Leveling Count is at 93, down 6 points from when the drive was new. It has since written 1.4TB of data. So, at this rate, my drive is expected to fail...

    Clips and archiving

    I'd also tick the "Limit clip age" box and set it to something really high like 60 days. BI will move files based on the file size anyway. That's how I have mine set up and it's been working great. Another thing to try is to go into the Status Alert window, then Clip Storage, and repair the...

    Strange MoveFile warning. What does it mean?

    This warning popped up in the status window, and I'm not sure what it means. I have it set up to move clips from the C:\BlueIris\New folder to the D:\BlueIris\Stored folder. I checked both my C: and D: drive and the there is no file named BackYard.20161004_174504.bvr. I then checked all the...

    Would using a small SSD to run the OS and store new clips speed things up?

    I got a Samsung 120GB, installed it for the OS and the New folder. Wow what a difference, I feel like I can do a million things on the PC when BI is running!

    Would using a small SSD to run the OS and store new clips speed things up?

    I currently have BI set up to use about 2.7TB of my 3TB drive, leaving about 60GB of space on my hard drive at any given time. Disk utilization also reaches 100% every few minutes (I assume that's when BI does it's file cleanup/archiving). If I attempt to play back clips when disk is at 100%...

    Wish BI has an option to not save copies of sent emails

    I use Zoho mail, and according to them the only way to not save a copy in the Sent folder is to check the box "Do not save copies of sent items" in Outlook Advanced settings. This is the setting I'm talking about in Outlook

    Wish BI has an option to not save copies of sent emails

    It would be so nice if Blue Iris has an option to not save copies of sent items in the Email Servers page. I know this is possible because Outlook has that option. Since I'm sure most people send emails from themselves to themselves, that would prevent duplicate emails taking up space on the...
