When there is an alert one can issue a web request to notify other applications of the alert. I would like to do something similar for when recording start, recording end, etc. I can get the status via the JSON interface but that means I have to constantly poll BI for the status. Is there a way...

Turns out the value for profile needs to be a number rather than a string. Now it works. {"cmd":"camconfig","session":"15d8489728767d9525700ab22f136e94","camera":"Cam166","profile":4}

I am trying to change the profile of a cam via JSON. I did do the login which seems to be successful. I then send the following command where Cam166 is the short name of the camera for which I want to change the profile to 3 (I also tried "profile":"Profile 3")...

That worked after shutting BI down and starting it again. Thanks!

I am trying out the JSON interface and therefore do a lot of (failed) login attempts. BlueIris initially told me that I had too many login attempts and now I get an IP banned. How can I (temporarily) unblock this while I develop some code?

Is there some C# or VB class that can be used to control BlueIris via JSON? Basically, something that implements all the commands in the chapter "JSON INTERFACE", e.g. BlueIris::SetProfile(string cameraName, Profile profile) {...}

What is the difference between models that end with H-ZHE vs E-ZE vs E-ZHE? There is some description at the link here: https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/advice/4212-understanding-dahua-ip-camera-part-codes/ However, it's not clear to me what E (IR-Bullet / Dome / Single IR LEDs Plastic Eyeball)...

I am looking for a vari-focal version of the IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 / IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE I found the following 3 on Dahua's website: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-S-Series/4MP/IPC-HDBW5442H-ZHE=S3...

I defined a web request action when there is an alert. It looks like this: [IP]/JSON?request=runevent&id=[ID] Never mind the parameters. It's just an example. The issue I am having is that BI seems to insert a default user name (admin) and probably some password. However, the GET request...

Ok, so it seems the alarm was actually always reset. I am saying this because it records for 10s and then the recording stops. And using @TonyR URL, I can make the recording stop before the 10s. The reason I thought the alarm is not reset is because the orange flash on the right side of the...

I want to use some of my cameras as motion sensor for home automation purposes. I can get them to detect motion and perform an action on the home automation system. However, the alert is not clearing until I manually clear it. I would like it to clear after say 10s so that when there is motion...

Thank you! It looks like reducing the allocated space helps. At least I didn't have any crash since I made the change some 30h ago. It's quite a bit of wasted HDD space, though. So now my BI dedicated "18 TB" (really a 16 TBytes drive) HDD only has about 12.7 TBytes available with 2.93 TBytes...

My BI v 5.3.2.11 x64 about a couple weeks ago started to crash and average of once a day. There is no particular time or even that I can see that is related to it. I checked the Windows Event Viewer but there is nothing in there related to BI. There were some windows update, i.e. KB5034466...

I have a new IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 = HDBW5442R-ASE-S3 and was wondering if it's possible to change the alarm output from NO (Normally Open) to NC (Normally Closed). There is such an option for the alarm input, see attachment. However, I don't see anything for the alarm output.

So I tried this on my new Dahua camera. When there is NO motion, the resistance on the alarm out is infinite. When the camera detects motion, then the resistance goes down to 2 Ohms. I am actually able to wire this directly into the DSC alarm panel via a 5.6kOhm resistor (as with all other...

Thanks! For outside I have turrets and bullets. I wife likes to clean and a camera with no openings like a dome is easier to clean. With turrets dust can get between the camera head and the mounting. And I think the dome looks less intrusive than a turret. But maybe other people feel different...

So is the IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 the same as the IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE. It's the only one I can find on Dahua's website that is fixed focal, 1/1.8", PoE, 4MP. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-S-Series/4MP/IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE=S3 EmpireTech is pretty popular on...

I am looking for a Dahua Dome camera for indoors. The 5442 are popular here and it's my understanding that S3 is the latest version. However, on Dahua's website I can only find S2 which is strange. Maybe I am not searching properly. On empiretech01.com I can only find the D54IR-ASE-S3. I believe...

I realize this is an old thread but I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution for it?

Attached is an image of my temporary Hikvision cam. It has one connector that is labeled "ALARM" with pins for In, G, Out, G. Could "Out", "G" be wired directly into the DSC system? Or how would that connector be used?

I am using HomeSeer. So I could use BlueIris to trigger events/motion in HomeSeer to do things like lights/shades/etc. However, how do I integrate this into DSC so if there is motion, DSC sees it as a violated/open zone. I kind of prefer that motion detected by the camera is hardwired into the...

I am replacing an indoor motion sensor with a camera. The motion sensor is connected to a DSC PC1864 alarm system. Is there a way for me to tie the camera into the DSC system so it triggers when motion is detected? Note, I am using Blue Iris and I can tie motion detected from BI into our home...

Yeah, I think they thought 1/2.7" is larger than 1/1.8" (as I asked for 1/1.8" or larger). And when I asked for larger than 1/2.7" they suggested 1/2.8" because the number 2.8 is larger than 2.7... Maybe I should ask them for smaller sensors... Anyways, below is a night shot of my temporarily...

The main reason for inquiring about Hikvision and Amcrest is because they have a high reputation on this forum and integrate well with BlueIris. I was hoping that maybe for indoor usage they have some more cost effective alternatives to the dome 5442. I did ask Amcrest for a cam with 1/1.8" or...

So what would be a good alternative from HikVision/Amcrest/etc. compared to the 5442 for those kind of applications? I am not looking for a definitive change but some cams that I should consider for this application.

Which one of the HiVision and Amcrest dome cameras are the most similar to the 5442? This is for indoor usage and because of that, I don't want any dome cam that has visual illumination but just IR lights. 4MP seems plenty enough for my purpose. I just want to see our dog and anything else that...

@bp2008, thanks! You are spot on! What is interesting is that this setting seems to affect how video is played. I did go back and forth between this setting. It doesn't seem to affect the recording. Instead, it seems to affect the playback. I am saying that because I can disable that setting and...

Thank you for the quick response. I deleted the cam and added it back. Now it works perfectly fine with BVR. I think I added this camera by copying another HikVision cam. Apparently, I should have just created it from scratch. So far I never had issues creating a new cam from an existing one...

I have an older HikVision DS-2CD2132F-IS 2.8mm that I mounted to check on angles, video, etc. When I looked at the recording, it was completely wrong, i.e. there was an upper and a lower part. Also the upper part is completely distorted which you can also seen from the timestamp in the video...

So everyone is mentioning Dehua, especially the 5442. Are there any others from Hikvision, Amcrest, Foscam, etc. that perform similarly, so probably have a big sensor, some decent chip and firmware, IR light, etc?
