All of a sudden last week alerts stopped working outside the actual Blue Iris program (they still seem to work OK within the app on the Blue Iris PC). But via web browser or IOS app (both running on my local internet at home): they don't work. Nothing shows on IOS. On a web browser (even running...

I have several Dahaus for general day/night use around the property; these are a couple years old, model: IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. They work well. But now I want to know what would be the best option today for: (1) daytime only use for by the road: want to be able to read licence plates on vehicles...

I just upgraded to version 5 and so far have noticed only a couple issues. One is the old clips from before upgrade no longer show up: not really an issue, I don't need anything from that period (about 2 weeks for my system). The bigger issue is this: I had V4 configured to record 1 hour clips...

I would be interested in a camera to point upwards to capture the sky for: weather astronomical events plane activity Something wide angle ideally, although have to weight that against ability to get detail (e.g. on small planes flying near by) ... might get an ADS-B receiver. Not sure if...

I was thinking of a camera in this area: see photo. Previously I've mounted cameras on the soffit, but here I think it would be easier to install on the short mast of the Satellite TV antenna. Will this work OK or can anyone foresee any issues? Satellite TV Mast by strathglass posted Oct 7...

I didn't see any reviews on this mini-bullet model - IPC-HFW4231E-SE, but the performance specs seem very similar to the excellent turret model I have been using lately - IPC-HDW5231R-ZE (very slightly less light sensitivity and fixed focal length lens). Anyone have one who can confirm it is...

Very odd behaviour for two of my four Dahua cameras connected to my Blue Iris server (connected using VPN, there is no internet access to these cameras) (they are: three starlights - IPC-HDW5231R-ZE turret cameras, and one 8MP IPC-HFW5831E-ZE bullet camera). Two of the four zoomed to maximum...

My first video posts here ... not sure the Youtube quality is any good ... does it take some views to get quality setting up'd by them? Anyways: First two are same doe, in the night time. First angle is with Dahua starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE). Second angle is closer but its just a Annke I61R...

I have a chance to get one for free: does it work with Blue Iris? It is not listed on the Blue Iris website, but there are some close model numbers that are! Thnx.

I have all my cameras now set for continuous recording. I limit them to 1 hour max, and also start a new recording when motion detected. ALERT configuration is checked for "Send a push notification to mobile app", and I do get alerts on the device (but not with any current image, which is how I...

Got my first Dahua cameras recently: IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Unlike my older Hikvisions, which I could easily configure with their SADP program... The Dahua camera I've tested does not show up on the Dahua Config Tool. I tried the s/w version shipped with the camera...

Got some new Dahua cameras today (Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE). Some will be soffit mounted, where I have very dark brown or black aluminum (as per this photo from another post). Is it going to present any serious longevity or other issue if I paint the white body/housing black or dark brown? I...

I've moved and need to install a bunch of exterior cameras. I need help for the front door area (see attached photo). I don't want to spoil the aesthetics of the new place either! MOUNTING LOCATION? I will probably install a doorbell camera (left side of doorway). But ideally I would have a...

I've seen various URLs here but none of them are current it seems: I need a link to get the DS-2CD2032-I firmware (WR in serial number, not CH). I think my current version 5.1.2 build 140116 f/w is not the latest, but that camera is working and an older one with 5.02 130805 firmware cannot be...

If I add a second NIC to my Blue Iris PC and put all my cameras with this second Blue Iris LAN port onto one VLAN that cannot reach the internet, and use the current/main Blue Iris PC LAN port for internet connectivity, will this work OK? Has anyone tried this? I am waiting for a used Cisco...

I have v5.3.5 in an Annke I61R camera and was going to upgrade per V.F. post (here). However on the Annke camera's web page, on the config tab, under the maintenance section: when I click on the "Browse" button to load the digicap.dav file, well... nothing happens! :( I get no file dialog...

My internet provider (Rogers) sent me an email and left me an automated voice mail of a somewhat threatening nature regarding, and I quote: They link to a Hikvision page about a vulnerability: link is here. So my question is: is it safe to follow the firmware upgrade procedure from that link...

I have an issue where I capture initial motion, but when that motion moves out of frame and then comes back in a second time (a short time later, maybe 5-20s), the second time motion is not captured/saved. Anyone know what setting to adjust for this? How many people just record EVERYTHING...

I have the latest 64 bit Blue Iris software. An older HikVision is working OK (f/w version V5.0.2build 130805). A couple newer devices I bought last year and am just hooking up now are not working with Blue Iris (can see live view OK on the camera web page per its IP address): these newer...

What type of power connector does this camera take (if not using POE)? I found no relevant documentation on the HikVision site nor in the camera package. I have an older camera of this type that works fine (dedicated PS, no POE), but two new ones are giving me problems (they use POE). Thinking...

I understand that the Blue Iris apps support sound (correct me if that is wrong). I currently have some HikVision DS-2CD2032-I 3MP bullet cameras outside and they work great. But I would like to get a similar quality camera for the front door that also supports audio with a built-in mic...
