My new cameras have wires bundled with the network and power connections. I was wondering if anyone had found an effective connection / connector to make removable connections for these small wires. RJ45 socket could be used for alarms but sound in ( microphone) is usually shielded. Outdoor...

Do all routers that handle VLAN, use a individual DHCP list /allocation process or subnet per port or do any have a DHCP Master for all ports (like the process of a router that does not handle VLANS)? My ASUS is the latter ( one subnet- no VLAN) and Netgear PR60x has a list per port and if...

I am struggling with the philosophy of VLANs . This example might help me understand some of the differences. YouTube examples show the subnet change but L3 documentation describe it as additional packet info. Does the Blue Iris computer see both cameras? My limited experience shows the...

My BI computer has three NIC cards to interface a switch with 3 VLANS ( 2 cameras separated for a and house service). My question is what / where/How is the system to know which card to make the ip request? After implementing VLANs, my BI fills in cameras at a much slower rate, like 30...

I have 3 network ports, 192.168.0.7 8, 9 and 10. 7 and 9 are connected to VLan at switch. 8 is connected to router supplying wifi to iPad and BI app. when I restart BI, it will pick 7 typically. So I set the bind exclusively flag and pick 8 and restart and it picks 8, but won’t allow...

Would an unmanaged switch in a path of a trunk line from a managed switch pass or strip the included VLAN ID inserts? My remote switch port coded as trunk line doesn’t work with a passive coupler in series. I plugged in a switch just to watch the leds and it started working. Could be port...

Setup for Question: Cameras and TiVos and pc and house control stuff on wired network, interspersed and cameras not isolatable. If Household and router LAN is RED and cameras are all set to Green subnet, and BI server with REd and Green nic port, Questions? Can BI server connect to switch...

There are two Axis ptz settings available. The first , Axis, gives me correct directions but with too large of step movements. The second gives me small step movements but the 45 degrees are reversed. 45 up to right gives 45 down to right. Is there a place to edit or look up the ptz commands?

I have two BIs running in two different computers, named for discussion here, YT Streaming and Recording computers. In both computers , I capture the same two cameras pointing at the same subject ( big bird on limb). Some times, the screen on Streaming will show movement ( wing flap) and...

Looking for suggestions on how to remote control a window of Bl from ipad or other pc. Application: I’m running BI in a Two display pc with streaming software to YouTube. The OBS software is taking the left monitor to stream while the right displays the OBS and the YouTube window. I have 5...

I have several HIK cameras and on the web browser(IE with webcomponents) the image capture button says it has captured the image. and shows location. But there isn't anything there. I've searched the entire dive and it is not there. I have included the obvious settings. Am I missing...

Is there a way to have the web interface only show, say 4 of 12 cameras of the base BI? I want BI to see all cameras but I want to concentrate on just 4. I can hide them from BI and get the result but I want them recorded for movement at BI central. thanks, rob

One of two identical cameras DS-2DF8836IX-AELW is now loose. They were mounted on the tower when it was horizontal ( then tilted up) I can only think that because of the weight (18 lbs) that I tightened the screw against a lip of the mount and not in the channel...Or I failed to tightened it...

I have 3 PTZ Axis cameras connected to Axis Companion and they work great. The ability to have the PTZ center on your finger touch point is very very handy. And to change magnification with 2 finger open or close is also great. I have Hikvision PTZ's that I have trouble moving in a hurry and...

This was two of the encounters between some gutsy squirrel and an adult bald eagle and then last year eaglet.

I was trying to see in 4K my 4K camera on a smart tv. Went to UI settings in upper right corner of browser and changed H.264 player from HTML5 to salt( NaCl auto) and lost the screen. The browser won’t complete saying H264 stays busy so I can’t set it back. I looked for some place to reset...

Got 2 new cameras (DS-2DF8836IX-AELW). They are 4 k PTZ and picture show up after auto scan and trying all HIKvision make and models. Sound works. and they control for several browsers just fine. In BI, the frame turns yellow but nothing happens after pan request. Currently using Generic...

I have a new 100 ft aluminum 3 leg tower going in and plan to put several ptz cameras on the top. The tower is above most of the trees. My thought was to run 120 v (like 2 conductor #12) power up to the "distribution box" where there would be the ip bricks. The cameras are...

I'm looking at the Intel i9 for a new system. I have two 4k ptz ,two 4 meg , two 3 meg ptz, and 12 2 meg cameras. 20 total. Frame rates are around 5 to 10. Like to go faster With the i9, I can go from 10 core to 18 core and 36 threads. Would BI use 38 threads with 20 cameras? And would 32...

Using a simple example will help me understand some basics of ip cam. If there is one ip camera on a network with 2 meg resolution and 1 frame per sec and 5 different computers looking at the image, say one BI and 4 simple browsers logged into the camera, How many copies of each frame in...

I'm looking at 2 cameras that have bnc and network output. Dalua 6C430UNI and Hik DS-2DF8836IV-AELW. My question is when or how does one use the video out? Is this leftovers for analog systems? the HIK has NTSC in composite format which I don't think supports 4 K. Second topic, I'm looking...

I give , I can't find the time source for BI. I know the cameras have a setting but all my windows are exactly the same and off by an hour from the computer time. I presume it is the daylight savings setting. But where, help doesn't make it obvious. thanks

My specific question is can I turn on/off the sound from a camera feeding a BI running in a desktop. I am using the video from one camera and the sound from another feeding a streaming app into YouTube. The sound camera is close to my yard and personal activities, yet I want it to enhance the...

I just got 2 HIK 2155F-IS and am trying to mount. They were spec'ed to pan tilt and rotate . I don't see it in the mount . the lens module will tilt and the whole base will rotate, but then the 16x9 image is floor and ceiling and not wide like I want. No dumb questions, right? thanks

I would like to have a standing NVR running on an isolated network around my house for the security cameras. That would be checked when I have an issue or to see if it captured a big deer that walked thru. I have BI on a computer that I turn on when I want to look at the 4 PTZ cameras with a...

What is the purpose of having multiple streams with generally degrading resolution? I don't understand the big picture. Secondly , how do you tell how many streams ( connected ip addresses, I think) a camera will feed? I have 4 differentry outdoor ip ptz cams but don't really understand the...

I am planning to use a PTZ for a photo camera and need to know what size jpeg are produce from the unit. I am using the remote PTZ capability to "film" eagles from remote location. My current 2k HD creates .5 meg jpegs. If someone has this camera, just snapshot and look at the size of the...

I'm lucky enough to have a nesting pair of Bald Eagles in my front yard ( and I don't live in Alaska). So I started with a cheap USB camera and modified the lens and upgraded to an IP with telephoto lens and then recently put a Axis Q6115E (has 30x lens) on a home made 40 foot pole. Today, I...
