Had this problem for months and Ken and I can't figure it out. Hoping someone has dealt with this, sees the same issue or knows how to resolve--thanks in advance. Dedicated BI machine. My cameras cycle every 15 seconds in a 1up, 1:4 layout configuration. At some random point during the...

My router died today, so I need to get out and get a replacement pdq. I haven't researched routers in a while, but I know I haven't been 100% pleased with the Netgear R7000 that just died--sometimes finicky, doesn't tolerate my mistakes very well :D , not relatively easy to set up a VPN, etc...

I'm considering using Pi-hole to block ads on my network. I'm a noob with this kind of stuff, but want to press forward because I'm tired of trying to block ads on my browsers, phones and smart TVs. I tried to block ads using my Netgear R7000 router, but it's not up to the task--allows only a...

I heard of these PTZs with an Overview Camera, but I can't find a link to one...I know they're out there, but I must be using the wrong search criteria. What are these called exactly...and if you have a link to a product, I'd appreciate it. Does Dahua make one? Thanks

When minimizing BI I noticed an invisible, yet still present BI icon in my Win10 system tray this evening after upgrading to 5.1.0.1. The problem was not present prior to upgrading. I did restart the computer twice and I tried deselecting/reselecting the system tray option in BI...

Would someone be so kind as to export a camera backup .reg file or a Blue Iris.reg file and see if the file has permissions assigned to it. I save all my BI backup.reg files in Dropbox and just noticed recently they weren't syncing (Dropbox won't sync a file without permissions assigned to it)...

In Blue Iris Settings > Startup there's an option to have "Delay a green shield by displaying a yellow shield for XX min" checked. I have that checked and have it set to 7 minutes. Now with 5.0.6.7 x64, whenever I open and close the BI settings window (doesn't matter what, if any changes I...

A recent update: Improved responsiveness to motion with managed decoding (limit decoding unless required on camera settings Video tab). This feature used to lead to terrible motion detection results, but with this change it seems to work rather well (in my short testing) leading to reduced...

Anyone seeing pre-trigger video buffer not working since upgrading? Have mine set to 20 seconds, but alert videos are starting at the trigger.

I have a question related to the help file...the last statement: Don't forget to turn off this mode when finished with it! Since I leave mine on all the time, I wonder what the issue might be when left on? The only thing I can think of is that it might interfere with non-bvr recorded video...

Great developer! I asked Ken if he could add a pixel counter to the motion zones area which would be helpful if setting the "Only Trigger When Object Travels filter." His reply: Adding a tool tip window next to the cursor as you are drawing the rectangle, version .57 today.

I haven't been using Windows 10 for very long--on my Win10 computer dedicated to BI, BI uses roughly 21-24% cpu. The other big cpu user is the "System" process (ntoskrnl.exe), which uses about 3-5% when BI is running. When BI is not running, "System" barely registers. Is this normal? Haven't...

Andy recently sent me 4 IPC-HFW8232E-ZEs (Dec 2017 firmware). I love 'em, but SSA is intermittent or doesn't work at all. When it works, SSA is fantastic (see Nayr's night time and daytime photos using SSA in his review of this camera). I had SSA on for each of the cameras, but it disengages...

When ceiling mounting a Dahua bullet camera using the PFA121 junction box, does the thick black gasket go inside or outside the junction box? It inserts into the lid of the junction box correct? I have four to hang so I want to get it right the first time :D

Overkill? It probably is, but I like to see as much as possible. I'm wondering if my planned choices for cameras will do the job so I'm looking for opinions/perspectives. For the red arrays I plan to use the varifocal IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 2MP WDR Eyeball Cameras. The yellow, the...

I'm avoiding the Nest, Ring and other doorbell cameras (even those with ethernet connect-ability like the Hikvision doorbell camera). Nest and Ring don't play well with BI and I've read the Hikvision doorbell camera is somewhat unimpressive in low light. So I'm trying to find a suitable mini...

Sorry for the clickbait title. Regarding IVS intrusion detection min/max sizes, I understand they're a filter for trigger descrimination, but do they also impact zoom levels?

I can't seem to record using direct to disc with my Lenovo integrated camera in BI. Reencoding works fine. Tried it with HA on and off, "also bvr" unchecked. Also tried adding a new camera and started from scratch.

Unable to play back alerts with the latest version of the android app (both on and off the network)--anyone else having this problem? If not, suggestions? I can see the alerts, tap them, but they simply don't play back. I'm using the latest desktop version.

For some reason I can't see motion highlights when playing back recorded video (bvr format--direct to disc--10 second pre-trigger buffer) using the Test Run Video Through Motion Detector. For all but one camera that is. I've compared the settings of the one camera that does work with all the...

I'm posting this here in the Dahua section because the issue I'm having seems to have coincided with installation of my first Dahua camera a couple of weeks ago. I have a Netgear R7000 router and I've been getting the following log messages 2-3 times a day since installing the Dahua Starlight...

Dahua High Speed Intelligent Black Face PTZ. I have two tripwires set up, each with 30 second alarm track times. If tripwire #1 is tripped and a 30 second timer begins, is it cancelled if tripwire #2 is tripped by the same moving target? Does a new timer begin with the second alarm or must...

Photos/info about this camera can be found here: SD59230U-HNI | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology There aren't too many original posts dedicated to this specific camera, but there are many posts related to variants of this camera with similar capabilities (such as the SD49225T-HN). As such...

Push notifications seemed to have stopped functioning after most recent android update (version 2.0.37). Anyone else seeing this? Thx.

I don't know for sure if this error is in fact an error--maybe I missed a new feature somewhere in 4.3.9.0 (paid version). I use the override on only one of my cameras. At 5:35PM I have the camera set to switch from profile 1 to 3 in order to prevent shadows, etc. from triggering alerts. But...

If you use auto-cycle then you may now need to change the delay time as of 4.3.9.0. You must Show PTZ controls by right-clicking on a blank spot between cameras. Then, exit full screen mode. Then click the gear icon at the lower left of your screen. Finally, change your auto-cycle delay...

I'm probably searching Google with the wrong search terms, so I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, if it even exists. I need to illuminate some dark areas of the house (corners of rooms) where my cameras' IR light doesn't quite do the job. I would like to find an IR illuminator that...

I've had these cameras up for several months now; I guess now that winter is over, the birds are more active and really have taken a shine to this particular dome camera--4th time this week.

I see there's a new update with HA updates, other enhancements and bug fixes. Is it running stable? Any benefit to CPU usage with the HA update?
