I have spent countless hours trying to get my PC and blue iris to work with my two Dahua cameras. Have had difficulty figuring out how to view when away from home, poor playback on iphone, now I have some sort of ip conflict. I just want a system that will work without having to be a network...

This camera has been working for about 6 months. I had the system shut down for a couple weeks while I was busy with other things. When I started it back up the 5442T-ZE didn't connect with Blue Iris. The other camera on my system is working fine (T2231T-zS). I didn't touch any wiring or make...

The Remote Access Wizard in Blue Iris says to forward a port. Since we're not supposed to do that, how do I get remote access to work? Can someone point me to a thread or wiki or???

So why do I need to be more concerned about security with a camera than I do with a PC? Is it because the PC operating system usually has a firewall and the camera doesn't?

Hi all, I posted this in the Networking area but didn't get any responses so I thought I would try it here. I have a house that is under construction and I would like to add a camera to see what is going on. I have Cat5e run to a location under the garage eve and have a 5442 camera to place...

I'm getting Blue Iris set up and am experimenting with a couple of cameras. I have some video clips in the left hand pane that don't have any border. But I have a couple that have a red border. I can't delete (destroy) them. What does the red border mean and what is different about those...

I'm vurrently planning my system. Have cat5e run to the future doorbell location (also have the standard doorbell wiring). Plan to use BlueIris and will have 4-5 Dahua PoE cameras on the system. Does anyone have a video doorbell recommendation for this set up? Thanks

I'm still confused. What would be the difference in these three scenarios? 1. Camera only. I would access it through a web browser I think. Could I set up an IFTTT script to notify me when an action was detected? I assume there is no way to record. 2. Camera plus NVR. If I stay with all Dahua...

If I decide to go with a Blue Iris system I will need a PC. Would one of the fanless mini PCs from Ali-Express work? How would I connect a 2TB hard drive? Can it connect through a USB port?

Hi all, I don't want the hassle of setting a computer and want local storage without a monthly subscription fee. And I need to be able to be notified and see what is happening on my phone. Thinking of getting the 4 camera Lorex system with 2 TB NVR. Do you guys think that is a big mistake? If...
