    Smallest (nannycam/easy to hide) camera that will work with Blue Iris?

    Hi, I am looking for a small camera that would be easy to hide, or at least won't draw too much attention that will work with Blue Iris for indoor use. Any type of connectivity is ok. Ideally would love to have audio support too. Needs to be pretty small. Any ideas? Thank you! PP

    Outdoor POE with PIR camera recommendations?

    Hi, Does anyone know of any outdoor POE cameras with built-in PIR triggering? I would like to use them with my Blue Iris setup (similar to how the DS-2CD2432F-IW PIR integrates with Blue Iris but outdoor). I currently have 6 DS-2CD2332-I cameras deployed outdoor, but I get so many false...

    iOS Mail.app, Blue Iris email alerts and conversations/threads

    Ok this is a strange one. I wonder if anyone has any experience with this issue. I get a lot of email alerts from Blue Iris throughout the day and when I access the emails from Gmail (web client) it does an awesome job of grouping all the email alerts for one camera under the same...

    Asking for assistance with reducing sunlight/shadow false positive (video included)

    Hi, My entire BI camera set goes crazy when clouds pass-by or when strong winds move trees that create moving shadow patterns on the ground (I am filtering the trees using motion zones). I attached a sample video (the trees should not be the issue as they are outside of the zone, it is really...

    Is it possible to setup BI to turn on/off IR on Hikvision cameras like the 2CD2432F?

    Cameras like the DS-2CD2432F-IW have a setting under System -> Service -> Enable IR Light And BI iOS has a button for IR on/off. Is there any way to make BI iOS able to control the 2CD2432F's IR light? Thanks! PP

    Limit IP Address ^ stopped working?

    I wrote to support yesterday but did not hear back yet. I am wondering if anyone else here ever used the Limit IP Address feature with ^ in it. Basically how it used to work was that if you put ^192.168.1.2 in the Limit IP Address setting it would allow all web requests from that IP address to...

    Cracks in my DS-2CD2532-ISW

    Hi, If you own a DS-2CD2532 did you ever see such cracks in the camera's body/cover? It has been there for a few months and I just noticed the cracks. I think it must be pressure applied by the security screws but can't be sure. Do you know if it is possible to purchase a replacement cover...

    Question about using Hikvision's alarm I/O vs. Blue Iris motion trigger

    Hi, I recently got a new DS-2CD2332-I and (my bad) failed to notice, before I ordered it, that it does not have built in Alarm I/O like the rest of my Hikvision cameras (I have the 2532 and 2432s). I really like the 2332, it doesn't suffer from the IR bleeding that I constantly fight with on...

    How do you add multiple lines to Line Crossing Detection?

    When I click on the 'Line' drop down I only see "1", do you know how to add multiple lines? The help files says up to 4 lines are possible. Clicking on the 'Draw Area' button again just brings up line #1 again. Camera is DS-2CD2532F-IS with firmware V5.2.5 build 141201 Thanks!

    Help with false motion detection due to ambient light changes

    My most recent Hikvision install (DS-2CD2532F-IS) is triggering a lot of false motion detection events due to ambient light changes (sun and cloud transitions). Is there any way to prevent these light-change based false positives but still be able to detect (pure) motion? My motion detection...

    My DS-2CD2532F-IS setup and question about horizontal angle of view

    Hi, I would love to hear recommendations about my current front door setup (photos attached). I mounted it to the soffit above my front door. I love the picture quality but a little disappointed with the horizontal, but even more with the vertical angle of view. I was hoping to cover more...
