Doesn't that setting reset your camera motion settings as well? I remember using that Find inspects on an existing camera and I had to recreate all my motion sensor settings again. So the PTZ settings are created on the camera side backend then? I had the impression, since BI can already...

Samsung also has ones, I think it's called the Pro Endurance series, which supports more writes over its life span for security cameras. I purchased a few Sandisk endurance ones which are supposed to be more durable for cameras as well, but I can't comment since they are running for a few months...

If you are going PoE remember that Ethernet cables can't run more than 100 meters or around 328 feet, you should stay below 250 as a safe measure, unless you are running PoE extenders between them. This means you are better off running fiber for a long distance to a PoE switch that then...

Yes. Disconnect the camera, reset to factory settings, upgrade the firmware. Do not connect it to the Internet again. It says pwned which means whoever did this, is basically doing it deliberately to make you aware that your camera is insecure and should not be exposed online. I assume you...

Is there some guide or tutorial on how to manage cameras with PTZ positions? I created some cameras with sensor movement, and they work, but of course, this only works for a fixed position I have set. I'm not that far yet into the exploring the changing profiles to activate or deactivate...

Yes, that option is already set, but you still need to go to the top of the screen and switch from Local to the Remote PC every time. The connection is already done automatically, my question is rather if it will automatically open the cameras instead of having to select it from that dropdown...

I mean Blue Iris installed on Windows. I'm connecting from Blue Iris Windows to Blue Iris Windows using its remote feature.

Does someone know if it is possible to open a remote connection on Blue Iris automatically when I launch the software. As now, I have to switch from the Local option to the remote option to connect each time. Can't the remote site be the default when launching the software?

Isn't that a hardware/equipment prohibition? If yes, they would not be allowed to sell the cameras, regardless of what software features they remove. Locking down the software does not change the fact they are still Dahua or HikVision cameras. The cameras are still being sold on Amazon and on...

They do support ONVIF but only for basic stream, I can't get Onvif events, for example in Blue Iris to work, there is no web interface either and the HTTP API seems also removed. The old cameras had SNMP, FTP, and many other features out of the box. Thankfully, the new Smart series still works...

That difference is huge! I was not aware of that, that explains a lot now for some of my cameras since I have all different models and the quality is different for every one of them.

I wish I knew all this before. I would have never purchased those Amcrest cams. Likewise, I was already suspicious of all the features for such a low price, and they keep dropping prices for models over the years. I guess the phrase 'you get what you pay for' is absolutely true. In fact, I...

Sounds great, I don't actually care about the interface logo/brand but the software in terms of functionality, and you answered all the questions. So if Amcrest cameras are the same Dahua, they are just disabling features deliberately on their cameras that are actually enabled in other Dahua...

Thank you! I will take a look at them then for my next PoE purchases instead of Amcrest for Blue Iris. Who takes care of the firmware or software on those cameras? Or they all come from Dahua regardless of the brand? I don't mind whether it's from the command line or SSH, as long as I can...

I'm aware they are Dahua, I think most brands are either Dahua or HikVision, but at least it's a Texas-based company (correct me if I'm wrong) so I assume they do all the quality tests and put their own software on it (for security reasons). If they are not, and it comes just from China as...

Yes, I’m aware of that, but I wanted a quick setup, until I could deploy the PoE cable at home, I have never used Wi-Fi cameras in any setup, always PoE. But my home is old (50+ years) and does not have the setup for the cabling, and I don’t want to put it outside the walls in a sloppy way. So...

But did you actually test if it makes any difference on your hardware side by slowly increasing it, or you just set 40 MB as a safe limit? The docs say to increase them to 20 MB. I normally tend to change settings slowly until I see it makes no difference in software vs hardware. For example...

I purchased over 100 Amcrest cams in the past. All with the web interface, full ONVIF, Blue Iris support. For my home, all the newer Amcrest I purchased last year are on the Smart Home line. I was very disappointed, not having the web interface, while you can still seem to configure some stuff...

I just hooked up to Blue Iris twoASH22-W. Note it makes no difference between Blue Iris or using its default Android Smart Home app, same issue. Will constantly disconnect with no reason. The camera will lose packets or disconnect from WiFi every 10 minutes, sometime it loses a few packets...

Yes, with Generic Onvif it also works fine, or with Amcrest + *PROHD, first option. I guess that is the same as just generic Onvif for Blue Iris. If I actually select the Amcrest model, it behaves like posted here. I guess there is no harm in using it as Generic Onvif or the Amcrest with...

Is this the same model? 40 MB receive buffer? Why?

I think I found the issue. It works when I select from the list model, the first option *ProHD... My selection was set to the 8 option, which is: IPM-721, IP2M-841,... Is this a Blue Iris bug with the Amcrest camera drop down selection? My camera model is IP2M-841B, so should the 8 option not...

Is there any way to debug why is going on the main stream (0 frames received)? Each other on its own works. But both at the same time do not. The sub stream seems to conflict or cause an issue on the main stream. And this is certainly something in Blue Iris because on the web interface both sub...

I set up 3 Amcrest cams on Blue Iris with all recommended settings, sub stream, direct to disk recording, etc. They all work fine, except one older Amcrest camera I had around for a few years. This camera works except if I enable the sub stream, blue iris does not like both streams but only for...
