Hi All, I have 10 cams running but only want to show 4 on an ipad, this will be used to keep an eye open for deliveries whilst on conference calls. My first thought was to use profiles and make a "delivery" profile making the unwanted cameras inactive in this new profile. I'll be dammed if I...

Hi All, Looking for recommendations for small IP (POE) cameras for use internally, external would be an added bonus but not really a critical thing. I was looking at the Blink XT as it's small and unobtrusive, dare I even say, it has a reasonably nice design ;-) Only prob lem, it's not POE and...

Hi All, I've configured my Unifi USG to use 802.1x authentication on my cam VLAN, i've created a IPCam user for Radius and entered the username and password into the network>advanced settings on my various Hik Cams. I can see from my client list in the Unifi dashboard that they are falling...

Hi All, Does anyone own/know if the newly announced Hub Max is a full Android OS and can install apps i.e. Blue Iris. Seem to be reading conflicting information. I'm still on the waiting list in the UK so can't find out for myself just yet. Cheers

Hi All Is some service/server down? I can't connect on any of my mobile devices, pretty sure i've not changed anything on my end. Even when connected to my home wifi I can't connect from my phone. Any help/pointers?

Hi All Looking for some advice about a new system. Before I go on, I know there will be suggestions about VBR and lowering fps etc, but I am genuinely curious to know what would be needed and what bottlenecks would arise around pushing everything to maximum. Looking at a mixture of...

Hi All, Been reading a lot recently as I want to overhaul my entire camera system, spent a few years "playing" now I would like to get a little more serious. I'm very interested in the idea of 4k resolution but i'm reading a LOT that they are pretty awful at night. Is there any movement in...

Hi All, Has anyone used a shuttle pro v2 controller for Blue Iris, using the jog/shuttle wheel to control the playback direction and speed of the captured clips. I'd be interested to know how you configured it. Cheers

Hi All, Looking for sensible recommendations for a CPU 5 Hikvision cameras @3MP each I use overlays Direct to disc recording 25fps I have this running on my dev machine (i7 4820k / 64GB Ram) and it runs very well, 23% CPU usage. I would like to setup a dedicated machine but don't want the...

Hi All, I cannot maintain a connection to the webserver, 9/10 times I get "Server is temporarily unavailable" I have no idea why it works every now and again. I am running release 4.5.6.0 on Windows 10 I have a port forwarding rule on my router I have tried port 80, 81(default) and for...

Hi All, I recently decided to buy a PIR POE camera from AliExpress. Despite it being Onvif compatible, I cannot for the life of me get it to play nicely with BI, i've used the supplied software to change the IP address so my network see's it, I can also get a live feed in Internet Explorer...

Hi All Has anyone taken a camera apart and used the internals in a different case? Im thinking of sacrificing a 2CD2032 so I can create a stealth case that only has the camera lens visible as opposed to the whole camera unit and IR LEDs I am about to place a 2CD2032 inside a bird box and...

Hi All Want to try PTZ but not willing to commit very serious money to it at this moment. Anyone have experience of the Reolink RLC423, preferably connected to Blue Iris. Cheers

Hi All, Water got inside the RJ45 socket and it fried the connections, I removed the outer casing so I could get a better view of the damage, it seems it has completely melted 2 of my connections Anyone know what wires go to what pins? As you can see, i've got 2 blown connections, I can...

Hi All I'm looking to install CCTV at a friends after he liked what he saw at my house but was wondering if there was a recommended way of testing the picture when installing. Currently I use my mac laptop to remote desktop to my Blue Iris machine to see what's going on, this won't work at...

Hi All Bought a camera off ebay (2CD2032F-I) and I learned my lesson about upgrading firmware, so I avoided that ;-) The problem I am having is that I can't even get into the admin page, I tried the following username & password combinations admin/admin admin/1234 admin/12345...

Hi All Im looking to setup a full CCTV system for a family member who prefers things to "just work", they're looking to remotely connect so they can check on the house when away, audio is a requirement and they would prefer 24/7 recording. I've messed around with a few Hik cameras already...

Hi All, I've read a ton of articles about restoring my Aliexpress bought 2CD2032-I and I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I naively thought upgrading a firmware was as simple as a mobo, predictably I went to hikvision, downloaded the latest 5.3.0, to replace the shipped 5.2.5, installed the...
