I have a Blue Iris system running now for about a month in our family business. All was well . . . until a customer did something bad and I found out two of the cameras had stopped working ("no signal") including one that would have I.D.-ed him. :rolleyes: Both cameras are connected via PoE and...

I bought a cheap Revotech mini camera (i706-POE-HS-4MP, roughly 2"x"2) and so far I'm not impressed. The video signal locks up every minute or two and I end up getting a "No Signal" message but then it goes back to working again. $35 experiment, I guess. Unless there's some setting I can tweak...

I have three Q-See QCN8009D dome cameras. I can't get them to show up on IP scans on the 192.168.1.x range nor .2.x, .3.x, .4.x. They don't show up in the Dahua utility either. They can be jumped on the circuit board to reset them . . . and supposedly, you can unscrew the front half to get into...

I want to make sure I have this set up correctly so my cameras aren't calling China under my nose. :oops: Here's what I've got: Blue Iris on a Windows 11 PC. It's hardwired to the main network router (172.16.blah.blah). It has a SECOND network card (192.168.1.x) that runs to a PoE switch...

So, I'm working on the this new BI system. I'm learning. Eventually, it'll have around 18 cameras . . . for our independent family retail shop. I've got 8 cameras set up now—I'm staging it at home—and if I trip them all at once, the CPU peaks at about 65%. But it will be possible to have a 12...

So... I bought this used 15TB external USB Western Digital drive. I figure, hey, I'll just do a full format of the drive to find any bad sectors and life will be better for it. One less thing to go wrong later. right? I connected it to the USB 3.0 port and I'm thinking, this can't take too...

I have my cameras on their own private subnet and the gateway is inactive. Clocks on devices eventually wander. What do most folks do to keep their cameras "on time" when they can't "call out" and automatically sync time with a time server? Do you just manually reset the camera times on a...

Hey peeps! So, I’ve got am SSD as my main drive, then BI is set to move files to an internal WD Purple drive. When that’s full, files are moved to an external HD connected by USB. Should i be worried about the slowness of the USB connection? Should I tweak any settings? Will the USB connection...

I'm a relative newbie, but learning fast. I'm setting up BI with POE cameras. (I'm replacing an old Q-See POE DVR.) I have a PC with two NICs in the case. I want to have the cameras on their own subnet. My question is: what steps do I follow to set the cameras to static IPs? Do I configure...
