Hey everyone, got an issue. 100% CPU on an 7th gen system I have been running for a friend. 12 camera system, continuous record. i7 - 7700 No external GPU CPU 100%... got to poking around, doing some basic overview of what is going on. Noticed the hardware acceleration on every camera is set...

So someone keeps taking other residents cloths out of the washer/dryers at the apartments I own and live at. I am not trying to creep anyone out by putting a normal sized camera setup in the laundry room. Would love to have a solution I could put that would be powered by 5v and use WIFI. I could...

I was having issues with the motion activation. So I turned on recording all the time on all cameras. It seemed to be working fine but now this is happening. The app was open the whole time. I attached my storage settings.

Hey folks, Installed 3 of these new cameras, I can log in no issue, change the network functions, change settings and the video is there.... I add it to BI and no video stream. Can anyone help me add these 3 cameras? Im sure its just the video path or something but im at a loss...

Hello everyone! New year a new project. Have someone sneaking into my 5 acer lot and stealing tools and oddly... wood.. I think its mostly in the dead of night. I'd also like the motorized lens. I was looking at the IPC-HFW8232E-Z but Andy says those are old news and I'd be better off with...

Morning everyone, So i waited for the weekend to tinker on some projects and found that my BI machine was waiting to do the latest WINDOWS update with the new MS Edge browser. After the reboot BI5 opened to an expired 15 day trial. Tried restoring my .reg and got an error . unable to import...

Hey guys, I have a friend whom I helped install a complete analog camera system over Cat5 knowing he would be going IP in a few years. One of his pride and joys in an old PTZ camera on a power pole in his yard that auto tracks and zooms. Cost him like $1500. Needless to say he would like to use...

Hello everyone, I have been annoyed lately with the time my cameras change from day mode to night mode. Either by DST time change, or the weather we have been having. How do you guys handle this? The slides inside my dahua web config page is less then accurate (the slide thing). Would...

Hey folks, So i have a large yard and i wanted to point some little IR floods into some different directions off the same cam. I purchased a POE splitter on amazon. It doesn't work. Am i doing something wrong? How else to i get my power to run the small IR lights...

Hey guys, I noticed my cameras are staying color mode for longer then they should, I logged into each camera and I cant seem to find the settings for DLST. It used to be there. Im 100% not crazy....

It currently runs windows and BI. I was just messing around with this unit but its a fun box to do projects with. You can run windows, linux, or chromeOS. $75 shipped in the lower 48 Open Box: ASUS Desktop PC CHROMEBOX-M004U Celeron 2955U (1.4 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 16 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Shared...

Hey guys, I was wanted to pop in here and share my experience with some new led lights I just picked up off Amzn. I recently installed 2x 2mp Dahua Starlight cameras over my driveway to watch my cars. In the pitch black they didnt show a ton of detail even with the IR lights provided in the IP...

I just finished installing all 4 of my Dahua 2MP Starlights. Everything went amazing. After setting up BI I notice people and cars going by are chunky on the live preview. The settings are set to 25fps.

Let me know what way YOU think i should do this. 4 verifocal 2mp cams

I understand my Dahua HDW5231R-Z has a mic built in. When i add the cam to BI the video works but the path for audio is blank. What goes there?

I just installed BI on my core 2 duo HP i had spare. Everything opens and seems to be setup ok but for the life of me it is NOT recording. I have looked and searched and changed any setting i could and it does not show clips or anything on the time line. Even when manually triggered. Lost in...

So i got a call from my friend, the bar cameras are all down. No signal on all of them . I remoted in and reset BL and no change. Reboot the computer and it all came back up. I am looking for some kind of way to figure out what happened. Log files anything. The cameras were ping-able via cmd...

My buddy uses a iMac at home. How can we set this up so he can view?

$10 for the app? Are there any FREE options that are decent? Dont need anything but viewing.

I hate IE! So far i remote into the blue iris via the web server. I makes me install active X... Really? ActiveX? I dont use IE for bug nothing. How does everyone else remotely view there BI from home?

Fresh setup is there a check list of things to do? Direct encoding? ect... It seems to be working with minimal settings. SOOOO many options!

I sold a PTZ that was fully automated a few years past. He liked it to a point, it had its flaws, not to mention the $1,170.00 price tag. Do they make an IP PTZ that will see movement and follow it and zoom in? Old one - SKY-AT28VN - Skyway Security

Yeah, I know.... noobie. So I see these cameras all have SD card slots. They use it for edge recording but even that im feeling a bit daft after reading a few articles. Doesn't the NVR - in my case blue iris - record all of the video? Prinler

The main point of security is to 1st DETER the person from attempting to break the law. Everyone it seems is so focused on catching people. The main goal is to let the crook know they are being recorded. They don't need to know how good your system is. The simple fact that you have one will...

Sounds weird i know. So id like to record everything happening on my ipad POS system. The company says it doesnt support "POS text overlay" so the only thing i can think of is maybe recording the screen in real time as if it was a camera? IS that a thing? We are using Cake pos. Prinler

Good morning folks! Happy Monday! So I have recently built a new BI PC and am fixing to set it up this afternoon. Being me, i'm going over the steps in my head while at work on the coming installation and my mind keeps bugging me wondering how my old favorite camera is going to compare to the...

Recently at my friends bar, we purchased a Q-see qc8816-8au-3. Installed all the cameras and the whole thing has been okay until we tried to review the recordings. There is no fast forward buttons. I called the company and they had tech after tech after tech trying to figure out why it wasnt...
