    Dahua web interface sub-menus are all blank??

    OK, so I have had these cameras for years, and they have always worked fine, but today I go to log into them, and the sub menus are all blank, not showing up. Anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? It is more than one camera. I did try two different browsers, Firefox and Edge...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    I have configured other cameras, by Amcrest and other manufactures, to work with smart AI human detection, and sending the ONVIF events to Blue Iris, but for some reason, this camera (IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic) is not sending the events. I am not sure WHY, but I am beginning to suspect it is...

    Are there any A19 form IR light bulbs for night vision?

    I tried looking online for some infrared A19 form light bulbs, and not sure if I just was not using the search terms, or if they just don't exist? I see some IR lights that are A19 but they are like warming/heat lights, I don't want that. I recently got an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI and it is...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    OK, I recently paid to upgrade BI since I hadn't upgraded it in about a year or more. Previously, when I was tinkering with a new IP camera but it wasn't mounted where I wanted it, I would disable that camera to hide it from my normal view list, then right click on the screen or a camera and...

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    Okay so I have some nice larger turret cameras have worked out great. But for a certain installation point between attic vent boards, I wanted a much smaller camera. Didn't need to have IR lights so this seemed to fit the bill. Product link (which supposedly had good reviews): US $25.5 12%...

    Can anyone recommend a small IP can for this spot between vent boards?

    Ok, so I'm not sure if they even make anything this size in an IP type of camera? I'm looking for basically a very small and narrow bullet type camera, which could give an overview from an attic vent area (already have cameras lower for identifying purposes but wanted a bigger picture of front...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    OK, so I'll be honest here, I was looking around to see if there was any camera with 2MP starlight with 1/2.8" sensor that was comparable to EmpireTech IPC-HDW2231R-ZS, but less expensive! I have one of the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS, and it works great, but I am looking to add two more cameras and was...

    What kind of video recording system do really large buildings use?

    So, I work in an office building with over 500 employees. There are 4 floors and each floor is pretty big. I can see at least 13 cameras on the ceilings of my floor hallways, so I might assume there are about that many on each other non-ground floor, and probably more on the first floor with...

    What to do about this gutter on a conduit run?

    So, I'm installing some 3/4" EMT (metal) conduit along the back of my house (to protect the Ethernet cable going to cameras), and I want it to go around this corner so I can mount a camera junction box there to look around the side of the house. Only problem is there is a blasted gutter right in...

    Noob here, what is the best B.I. v5 setup video for new system?

    OK, so I've spent months getting a plan together for my house, buying cameras, cable, learning to crimp to terminate the connections, getting conduit, routing lines through my attic, etc. Also bought a computer for BlueIris with Windows 10, one of the ones recommended from this board. So I got...

    2nd story home, high up conduit installation advice

    So, I've always been somewhat of a DIY'er and I did all the camera runs in my last 1-story home. However this new home I bought has me a little stumped as to exactly how I might safely install some security cameras on this new house. I've already determined from reading this site that the...

    Any reason not to just replace most cable lines with cat6?

    I bought a new house recently. It is about 12 years old. In the master bedroom closet there is a junction box of sorts that I believe splits and amplifies the cable to other rooms in the house. My internet comes in to a modem through the cable line, so I need at least one of these but so far as...

    Hello, from South-central Texas

    Greetings! This place seems to be a wealth of specialized knowledge so I am looking forward to building a really cool new how security camera system for my next house. I will be moving in about a month so I have time to prepare and research what I should be getting. My older (current) home...

    Newbie question on HDDs for BI computer

    This is my first post, I had to ask this question! So I have read some of the wiki and this page: Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk The general consensus seems to be that the most cost effective solution is getting one of these smaller Intel based work computers refurbished. The...
