I still have this issue with shadows. Shadows on the grass are not as bad, but shadows on my driveway or deck easily trigger the motion alert. I have tried "Cancel shadows" and that does not make any difference. I could zone out that area, but that changes with time of year and day. I think...

I have a new system running on an i5 4590 with 8gb. I originally planned on 3-4 cameras. Then 5…and now I have 7. CPU has gone up and I’m around 75% most of the time. Sometimes in the high 90’s if I’m using remote desktop. All 7 cams are doing 10fps. 6 cams are 4mb and 1 is 3mb. Currently...

So I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2342FWD-I 4MP WDR. The first one I had would show a small black spot in the center. Also after it was on for a while the video would start to digitize and look kind of pink. I sent it back and got a new cam. Good news is the black spot is gone. Bad news is it...

I recently setup a new system and have my Blue Iris server and cameras all running on the same vlan as my house. I do have a separate network for guest wireless. I was wondering what the prefered recommendation was when setting up security for surveillance cameras. I can easily create another...

I have my outdoor cams installed and working great. I was wondering what people do to weatherproof these. Mine are somewhat protected by an overhang, but still have the 3/4" hole behind the cam I used to run the cable. Do people caulk around the base of the cam to prevent bugs and water from...

I have a black spot on one of the 4 cameras I installed. It almost looks like a piece of dirt on the lens, but the lense looks clean. I can't see any visible dirt on or inside the lens, but definitly have a very small black spot almost in the center of my video. I have setup a return with...

I have installed 4 outdoor Hikvision turret cameras and they seem to work well (besides a defective one that I have to return). I would like to add one indoor camera and was wondering if there is a prefered type of indoor camera you guys recommend. I even thought about picking up another...

I got 4 new camera's. 3 have 5.3.6 and 1 has 5.3.8. Is there a version you guys recommend? I also see a version 5.4 is available. I would prefer to have them all on the same version and was looking for the one with the best features and is most stable.

So last night I got my first camera installed outside and thought it was working great with BI motion detection. It was early evening and the sun was just going down when I got it setup. Motion seemed to trigger when I would have expected it too. This morning it's going off like crazy. I'm...

Is there a way to fix the slow frame rate you see with Microsoft RDP? I getting about 2 frames a second. I don't see anything in the setting and I have my RDP setting set to lan with all the options on.

I will have 5 or so Hikvision turret cameras connected to a Blue Iris server in my basement. I have a 4tb drive, but not sure if I want to record 24/7. How well does the motion detection work? Do you use the Blue Iris software or the motion feature on the camera to trigger the event?

Ok I got this cool refurb HP computer to run my cams with Blue Iris. So far the computer looks and works great for a sub 300.00. Unfortuantlty is uses this small form factor I have never seen. It's really about the weight of a large laptop and has no room to add drives. I purchased a 4gb WD...

It seems 2.8 is kind of standard, but see some have other options such as 3.6, 6, and up to 100. I plan to have one camera at my front and back door of my house, so it would not be very far from the target. The other 2 or more will be on on the base of the roof looking overlooking my yard. I...

Have a couple questions about how the license key works. Can I use it on multiple computers at the same house or do you require a key for each computer. I have a computer that will run as a server to run Blue Iris. If I also run Blue Iris on a second computer would it work to let me view and...

I'm looking for a good recommendation for some IP cams. I initially thought I wanted a Ubiquiti NVR and camera setup. I bought these products and found I made a mistake. I have a Ubiquiti UNIFI AP's, gateway, and POE switch and love them. Easy to setup and manage. I was not as happy with...

Saw this place to buy software. Is this a legit distributer of the software? http://www.blueirisdownload.com/

I plan to buy a Blue Iris license key. Can I move this from one computer to another as long as I only keep it on one computer at my house? I build/rebuild computers all the time and might change the hardware of where this software stays. Chad

I’m looking to setup a video security system for my house. I considered the built software my Qnap NAS has, but it looks really basic without many options. Now I’m thinking about a dedicated NVR with cameras or buying my own cameras and using something like Blue Iris. I have a nice gaming...
