    OMG, Xfinity Gateway WILL NOT open the port

    Thank you, that does make some sense. Althought the varied IP's are a little hard to grasp since I only get the one stated on the Open Port tool, is the service provider hiding another number behind that maybe? The router I have is a modem/router combo from Xfinity. I think we opted for the...

    OMG, Xfinity Gateway WILL NOT open the port

    So after 3 hours...yes, 3 hours and most of it on the phone, Xfinity Gateway cannot open the ports for me to access Blue Iris. Does anyone have a solution to a router that will not allow port forwarding. I can do this easily on other providers like Cox and Century Link but this system only uses...

    Cant change IP. What am I doing wrong? EmpireTech Security Camera Outdoor 4K Full-Color 2×4MP Dual-Lens 1/1.8"

    Thanks everyone. The quick solution was to set the camera to DHCP then reset it. Find it on the network and then change the IP. I still cant figure out why I had to do that step before changing it.

    Cant change IP. What am I doing wrong? EmpireTech Security Camera Outdoor 4K Full-Color 2×4MP Dual-Lens 1/1.8"

    I cannot change the camera IP address and have no idea why. At my other house the default IP address is 192.168.1.1. and I have changed the IP on a few new upgraded cameras I bought for there last month. At my place Im at now its 10.0.0.1 Xfinity is the internet provider. I can find the camera...

    Quick question about old DS-2CD2112F-1 cameras. Finding the IP

    I havent used these in years and Im hooking them up in another location different from where they were before. After plugging them in to the old TP-Link switch I cant find the IP address on my local network, it doesn't even show up. I can verify the cameras are powered on and I can see other...

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Right... Im looking at putting a bullet back up there or a turret. I have another spot this PTZ can go. I just ordered and installed this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C77TNY9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Think that will do or another? I've been trying to get a...

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Has anyone tried to put an absorbant pad inside these to help the issue? Similar to those in boxes when products are shipped? EDIT: I just ordered some 2 gram silica gel packets. Ill see if I can get it in there and make it work.. if thats the problem

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Interesting. The first pic has that blur I see on the whole image with mine. Is there any fix or adjustment to it? I already tried the settings in the camera web interface and cant change it.

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    One more thing I just noticed that I've never seen as a big deal but now is a good time to ask. The time is off between the camera and BI. I check a box that syncs the time when Im in the web interface for the Dahua camera. It seems like a one time sync. Is there a selection that keeps the...

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Im thinking this might be the case. Did the dome look clean when it was really dirty? Mine looks clean

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Thanks for the replies. The camera is mounted outside on a wall bracket. When I wiped the dome the inside looked clean but I didnt take it apart and clean. Will do that next. I attached a day time photo. The camera is a Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Whats this called and how to fix? Dahua SD22404T-GN

    Attached a pic. Not sure if this is called blurred or halo or ? Its a general fuzzy picture day and night. Great camera and only a few months old. I just put it at this location recently but the camera seems to be 'fuzzy' regardless of outdoor lighting. The dome is clean too.

    I give up. F--ng pissed. spent 5 plus hours on port forwarding

    AAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHH yeah, that was it. Since I dont do computers and have to crash course everytime I reset something, I assumed that you have to open door #1 (port) before you could get to door #2 (computer) What about Teamviewer? better, worse or the same?

    Agreed. Except i havent setup BI on the new computer. Just tried opening ports to it

    I give up. F--ng pissed. spent 5 plus hours on port forwarding

    I completely disabled the firewall on the new computer. and virus software. forgot to mention that too. Even when I create a new port for the existing computer the port will not open.

    I give up. F--ng pissed. spent 5 plus hours on port forwarding

    Im adding another computer and moving BI to that...well, so I think. Current router and open ports have been online for years...no hardware changes. Asus RT-68 router, BI and remote desktop work like a charm. Still do. Issue.. I cannot open a port through the router. I tried absolutely every...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    Based on the map and the relatively small number of soldiers deployed I’m not sure where they get ‘collapsing soon’ at. This certainly isn’t the 1st or 2nd Ukrainian Front in terms of size. I watch Sky News and some others and see every news agency attempting to gaslight and coerce the narrative...

    Quick up or down recommend for a desktop..

    Great information! And thank you for the detailed research. Are you sure they will not ship to an address thats not the same as the billing? The account is based in one state but being shipped to another. :/

    Got it. Thats what I was finding. Real quick question since we are both in the US, one of the reviews mentioned the offshoring of the IP information as a necessity during setup. Is this a concern or ? I havent worried about it before....

    Im a little confused. the 5442T-Z4E is what Im looking for? Also, I only have Hikvision and Dahua on the system. Is there something different I need to be aware of with rebranded cameras or is this the same with the same software and only the decal removed?

    Looks like the 5442 is the go-to anyways? I'll add one more. The alley has dual 5431's crossing each other. They have a slightly elevated view over the 8ft block wall also. I thought about mounting on the shop my Dahua PTZ, but I dont want to just monitor the parking lot behind me and make it...

    Im actually trying to get more focus on the area behind the building. I have the backyard covered well. We sometimes get people off the bar/restaurant that come and go through an alley so Id like to capture their path. The camera is mounted 28ft up on the house. Sorry if I didnt explain well.. I...

    I still have a question about how to select this one. Ive read looney2ns reviews (thank you!) I have a lot of light at night coming from these areas circled. Im looking for detail so manual focus adjustments are fine if needed. I feel like this is too far away for IR illumination to make a...
