    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Sorry to jump in here but, about the RJ45 burnout. I have had 3 poe plus cameras (that have been up a couple years) have chernobyl incidents only on the camera ends. So, my question is, dielectric grease or not? I've read about it causing issues. All 3 connections were the weather-sealed ones...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Yes, all cameras are static. No conflicts

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    FINAL FIX UPDATE! It turns out, the socket error was caused by the last run of cat 5e cable, between a POE hub and the camera. I tested the camera after attaching it right at my main switch. The test camera worked fine where the ptz is, because it doesn't pull the same wattage as the ptz. The...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Today I started at the camera. I disconnected the affected ptz and plugged in another Dahua 2mp starlight and all day it has been rock steady. Zero signal loss. Pretty confident it is the camera. Something with the network part of it. Sucks as it was purchased July 2022. It is a Dahua unbranded...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    You were right. The live view in the browser did have freezes on BI PC but a laptop connected to the same network.. the live view was steady. I changed the BI PC to wifi and it resolved it. Im so baffled to why. This same BI PC has another camera (same model) that has no issue. Not sure how...

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    Update: Contacted support and the answer was to make sure the DB is on the local drive. It was so I just eliminated one of the 2 externals and used the local drive for new files. Basically this problem is unfounded. Don't use external drives is my hypothesis.

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Totally stumped. One of my cameras on BI will lose signal and fail to connect but on the same PC, I never lose the live view using a browser on the same PC. Been using the same settings in video configuration all along but did try deleting and adding it back in fresh. When using find/inspect it...

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    No. Its been about a few hours and it still is an issue. Really don't get why BI doesn't recognize BI files. The Grey files should be Blue. (in the storage section) It also happened on older versions.

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    Can't seem to understand what is happening here. After my PC restarts, the external drives immediately show up in the GUI in BI as OVER ALLOCATED. Now right before the PC restarted, everything is fine and there are no over allocation popups. The drives are only used for BI, and when the PC...

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    How inconvenient that is. My one year is up in July and 2 months later, I have to buy another year. Sounds hokey but can't really complain that the year is 35 bucks. Especially since I waste money on dumb stuff all the time. Guess it is my bad luck.

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    How did you do with this project? I am currently looking for a simple wired solution for a customer. Really only need it for a senior clubhouse office who wants to be able to communicate with video and allow entry from the office without walking to the door. Was looking at the Dahua KTP03 but...

    New Dahua GUI issue with day night

    I am having trouble understanding how Time plan settings work. I set up my night profile to settings I want, then dragged the night color along the month of May, at the time frame I want it to take effect. In the section where night is not in effect, I dragged the day settings. Apply the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Thank you. I see this has a close focus min of 5.2 feet. That may work well. Probably going to do some more searching because the 1 / 1.2 sensor is incredible on the 5849 so far. What a huge difference from the 5231.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Realizing that getting one in 2.8 isn't going to be a good upgrade from my 5231, at my front entry. With a close focus at 14 feet, nobody at my door will be in focus. The 5231 distance is .3 meters. Guess its going somewhere else lol. Got 2 from Andy

    Manual focus lost on reboot

    EXACTLY what is going on here. What's nuts is that I've had these settings for a couple years now and out of the blue, this sheeit started happening. THANK YOU! Gonna be tricky cause I am using it strictly for plates (tags). This street is pitch dark at night.

    Manual focus lost on reboot

    Interesting point. Both Day and Night were on Manual but General was set to semi-auto. I don't use general but maybe the camera does on reboots, not sure but set the General to manual as well. Fingers crossed.

    Manual focus lost on reboot

    Using an HFW5241E Z12 as an LPR. Since nighttime is so dark, I have it manually focused. My issue is that every time the camera restarts from a power outage, I have to manually focus again. Annoying. Not sure if there is a solution. It is on a battery backup but sometimes power is lost for over...

    How to get BI to save alert jpg to folder when trigger happens

    Already spent a ridiculous amount of time and apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I tried setting each cam, in BI cam settings to post a jpeg to a folder on my pc that syncs to Google drive. My issue is that the image saved is delayed about 20 or 30 seconds after the initial...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    So I got a reply from the software company. And this is what I was told. " Each license or maintenance key includes 1 year of updates. You have installed a version that's "too new" for your current maintenance. Unfortunately at this time due to a server failure, we don't ourselves have access...

    Licensed version 5 keeps UN-registering

    Every day now, "Blue Iris Evaluation" keeps popping up. Super annoying. Had this copy of BI with same License running for a few years with no issues. Thinking BI is causing an issue. Anyone experience this? It does it at the same time everday.

    CPU Overloading

    You may be right but I wonder why it is never stepping back down. I will check the BIOS and see if there's something I can adjust.

    CPU Overloading

    Went through optimization and recommendations and it still pegs my CPU after opening a browser. Mostly seems like Chrome. I'm going to try using a different browser and avoiding chrome to see if it is resolved. Kind of weird how BI is what is showing intense CPU usage but only after opening and...

    CPU Overloading

    I'm on 5.5.7.9. Randomly and often, BI tacks out my CPU. I have 12 camera feeds and the system usually runs about 27% or under. It seems after using a browser, my CPU is running at almost 100% with BI running. Not sure where to start but its super annoying and clips are jittery, jerky and just...

    Auto tracking Performance - SD4 vs SD5 vs SD8

    Mine (49225XA) is roughly 80% hit as far as tracking. I must have tweaked it 20,000 times to get the best results. Every field of view is different so what works for one may not work for others. Like it was mentioned here, use other cameras as spotters. This does not work for me because of...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Takes soooo much time to find the sweet spot. You will find that there will be so many little things you want to control but can't. I also experience the loss of track when a target stops however I find it is a double edged sword. There may be times when another target is at the home position...

    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera
