Thanks for the replies guys. Yup, it seems the RJ45 plugs I had laying around were rated for both stranded and solid so I just went with it and it seems to be holding fine (for now). That's not a bad idea if going for a keystone jack approach, but it seems to be holding with a stranded rated...

Hi guys, I'm having to replace a water damaged rj45 poe connector on a hiki camera and was wondering how best to proceed. I've seen @fenderman @nayr and @alastairstevenson help a lot with discovering pinout, but is there a consensus on which style end it would best to terminate with...

Looks like the TP link and V7 are the strongest contenders. But V7 MPEGS24-1N is now priced at $399.00, are you sure it was the 24 port model listed at $122? Also, how are the noise levels on the fan? The TL-SG1016PE is now listed at $119.00 which isn't bad, but how has it held up? Fan whine...

It was never enabled in BI to begin with, hmm. I use bicommand, and there was an issue with it and my global schedule as a result of a registry conflict. Perhaps it's the same issue here and I just need a clean install, which is bizarre as I've already deleted the cam (although used the same name).

It's not selected in any profiles, only the normal "Motion sensor" (first check box) is selected. Thanks again

Latest 4.4.2. Yes all zones are cleared, I already deleted and reconfigured the cam from scratch to further ensure that. But, I didn't think to check cam's OEM UI. While motion detection is not enabled, this "linkage" setting is enabled: I'll try disabling and see what happens, thanks guys.

I think we're describing the same thing, this is my current config and it's still activating: How it's still getting triggered and recording, I have no idea. Thoughts?

You mean if there are 0 green marked zones? Yes, even without green marked zones it's triggering. I thought you need to mark the areas of interest in order for anything to trigger?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't seem to help. I still get tons of false alerts for passing cars outside the green mask. I've clear the mask entirely and re-drew, even deleted the entire cam and re-did all configs for it. But it's just constant alerts of cars outside the masked area...

Thanks for the reply. It's always a possibility, but I've never had this many false positives when there are virtually no clouds/shadows present. Will keep fiddling with it I suppose. Thanks, I see what you're saying but I was viewing those clips when the exact profile that triggered it...

I used it be in version 4.0.X.X had everything configured, updated a few weeks ago to 4.4.X.X. Motion capture operating normally in marked areas (green brush) in 4.0, but now after a few weeks with 4.4 I'm convinced either I've configured it horribly wrong or it's bugging on me. First I started...

Thanks. Guess that explains it as I do use BICommand. Odd my other cams weren't affected though as they are configured similarly.

Didn't want to reconfigure, but it was the only option. I even tried import the .reg of that single cam, and restoring it caused the same issue. Suppose something got corrupted. Doesn't look like there are slightly old iterations of BI available, just some legacy versions. Anyhow...

I just tried importing and old known working backup (.reg) and it still is stuck on profile 3. Really scratching my head at this, should I just reinstall or am I missing something?

So, I just updated to version 4.4 and one of my cams is refusing to follow global schedule, and is stuck on one profile (#3). See the title here: I checked the per camera settings and override global schedule is not checked. Even when I do check it to see if I can get it to change, it refuses...

So, I've had this PTZ for a month now and it's holding up pretty well. Pretty sturdy as well, I dropped it by accident when wiring everything from a distance of 5FT on to concrete and it emerged unfazed. For those of you that are having problems with voltage drops over longer cables runs...

Thanks, ONVIF setting seems to have done it.

Hey guys, Is it possible to save the PTZ speed in BI? Altering the value in PTZ/Control doesn't seem to do anything. The slider in the cam's webui does work but it doesn't get saved nor does it work across live sessions so it's useless in terms of BI usage. Thanks

I was thinking of going always connected, but does it really warrant all the mobile data you'll eat up? Won't the mobile vpn client constantly be sending "keep alive" message to sustain the connection while on 4G? If you're on some other random wifi hotspot, no problem being enabled but on 4G...

@nayr @fenderman you guys have some pretty nice setups, thoughts?

Hi guys, I just setup openvpn running on an rpi for tunneling into my home network. Previously, I had a port forwarded directly to BI server running on a win machine, but I'm now thinking of just relaying all traffic including BI access through the vpn when remotely viewing. Only issue is the...

Is there an option to have the 4 IR lights on at the same time when it cuts in? Right now, when it's zoomed out, the bottom two turn on. When zoomed in, the top two turn on. Maybe it's a power saving feature so the cam doesn't conk out when you use the stepper motors at the same time during...

I was just using WDR as an example of something that would useful to adjust between day/night (as available on hik firmwares). It's nice to optimize image settings depending on time of day, sadly the option has been left out which is odd given the firmware looks like a bastardizes hikivision.

Has anyone with the audio version of the PTZ been able to get audio out (to speaker) working with blue iris? Works just fine through the webui, but refuses to work through BI.

Hi, Has anyone been able to get the Huison PTZ audio out working with blue iris (talk functionality to speaker)? I have no issue with the audio out through the speaker when using the OEM WebUI, but I can't get working through BI. I have looked at all the common solutions. Making sure...

This is the default version that came with mine. Overall, similar to hiks, but missing some key features. For instance, where is the day light savings option? I put it in the incorrect time zone to fix the offset and hope there are no issues with my NTP server down the line. Second, is there...

Heh well, I was thinking vertical in the other direction, standing upright on top of a column. It seems you need the bracket if you want to mount it at all as the base of the camera head has no mounting holes. Drilling the base of the head would probably damage it's ability to rotate all...

Any recommendations on how to mount this vertically? Do they sell vertical mounting brackets for this?

@nayr Thanks for clarifying, I did not realize that. I think I might pair it with Imporx for the best of both worlds. @pozzello Thanks the recommendation! I think I might just jump on imporx bandwagon. Aside from the sweet 10x, apparently it uses EXIR type IR which spiders are not attracted to...

Thanks for the reply. I'm surprised you say you can see lettering on plates at 60ft+ at night. What camera do you have? My Hik DS-2CD2032-I with WDR turned on can see plates at 30ft max (approx) during the day, at night slightly less. And if the car is in motion, forget it. What's the value of...
