I bought one of these for $89 and wrote some code to talk to it over a socket to turn relays on and off. Been working for 3 years now.

What a timely post! One of my PTZ's quite working a few days ago and I screwed around with BI but didn't make any progress. Changing PTZ from Dahua V5 to V4 fixed it right up.
Thanks.
A long shot but try this:
start a CMD window as administrator (windows key, type CMD, choose run as administrator)
type in the command window:
net stop blueiris
sfc /scannow
Thank you all. Ordered one, now I just need to figure out where to mount the camera. Probably wait for warmer weather before running wires, so I have a few months to figure out placement.
By the way, I found a netgear 12volt 1amp power adapter and the camera does boot up and I setup the username/password.
And plugged an old SVC camera into the cable and POE switch to make sure they both worked.
Okay, I tried to different POE switches and cables. No joy, the POE lights never come on and after 10 minutes still no connectivity.
So back to the original question, any recommendations for POE power splitter. I looked on amazon and found a few but the reviews aren't great.
Thanks again.
I won a 6th place prize in Andy's latest lottery (yea) and while I was expecting a t-shirt :) I actually got a pretty cool camera, a IPC-SD22204UE-GN-W, a 2mp, 4x zoom PTZ.
It did not come with a power adapter and when I plugged it into a POE port it did not power on. I would like to replace...
I have a couple of questions and observations and could use some advice.
I'm adding another hard drive to my system and would like to get rid of all the old .bvr files and jpgs.
Currently I have 31,000+ jpg files occupying 28 GB of space.
I don't want to lose all my camera settings.
Should I...
I think you'll find that even cheap cameras have decent performance in day light situations, it's low light and back light scenes they will struggle with and perhaps motion even in good lighting.
The trick is to demonstrate that in real time.
Thanks. I'll check to see what my settings are.
I got it working again by deleting EVERYTHING in the new, alters and aux-1 directories and then rebuilding the DB.
The thing that surprised me was the size of the database did not change it's still 700mb.
Did you ever solve the problem with your DB?
I'm running version 5.7.3.0 from March and everything has been great until today. Now all alters, new and AUX-1 show "empty list" with error 121 in the log files.
I rebuilt the database and deleted all the .jpg files and rebuilt the database again...
Are you sure. I thought mine was fine too but I noticed when I clicked on a camera the image was static i.e. it wasn't playing the video it was just showing a picture (time never advanced).
I'm on 5.7.3.0
Is there a way to have a camera go full screen (like you clicked on it) when motion is detected, then return to all group camera display after a few seconds, I thought I had this feature in ui3 working, but I cant seem to find it anymore.
Thanks.
