    Setting up Blue Iris in multiple offices

    I have a client who I've installed a BI box at his main office that is running solid. Client now has added 3 satellite offices that he wants cameras installed, and all of them accessible on his BI app. VPN's are setup on the individual computers at each satellite office, not the routers.

    I have an NVR4216-16P-4KS2 in the field that I installed in 2017 with a 4tb WD Purple hdd. They called me today telling me that they had an issue in the office that they needed to view but couldn't playback anything.

    Out of nowhere my SD49225T-HN looks like it has an HDR filter on it

    We have been traveling a bit so today I went back and checked on a few things on Blue Iris. Found my PTZ looks like it has an HDR filter on it ever since the 30th. Tried rebooting the cam and defaulting image settings to no avail. I went back and saw when it occurred, was at 4am out of nowhere...

    Said goodbye to the ol 2x4 and bucket trick...

    And scored this camera tester the other day. We've been doing more and more installs and got so tired of climbing up and down the ladder and lugging monitors to the job. It almost felt like programming NVRs and fine tuning cameras were taking longer than running cable. This thing is packed...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z: Please help me figure out why it looks like crap

    I have two 5231's on the driveway, one on either side of the garage. I've noticed one of them has gotten blurry/foggy over time.

    Simple Hikvision NVR question

    I have Blue Iris pretty well figured out but have never played around or installed an NVR. I have a friend with an existing Hik 24 port POE NVR that is full and he wants to add 3 more cameras. Can I just use a POE switch (or 1 to 4 POE splitter) and add these cameras or does he need to get a...
