    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    so just to come back, it stopped working again and is now showing offline. Any other troubleshooting points? I am using an 8 port midspan to power it, I have another amcrest camera in that midspan to the same switch and its working just fine.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Well I was going to come back tomorrow (Tuesday) and report back, but so far, after changing the PoE Injector, I've had 6 days of up time. I hear you on the concurrent users but Control4 isn't an active user. There is a driver for Blue Iris for Control4, so I have a user in Blue Iris called...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Yes - didnt want to revive a 18+ month old thread I am between jobs now and have a few weeks of downtime so there are numerous little things around the house I am trying to fix/clean up while I can give it some attention.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Same model - IP5M-T1179EW-28MM I have a more up to date BI version, but I've upgraded 2-3x from likely where you were since the camera has been installed. Again hoping it was just changing up the injector, if it stays up for ~3 days and doesn't fall off I'll assume that was the answer from a...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Yeah I get that - but if it works with the Amcrest app, why not the Blue Iris app? that confuses me, but we'll see how this new PoE injector I use holds up.

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    again I admit I am no expert, but whenever I use the Amcrest app, I can see the live feed. In Blue Iris after X period of time (usually 2-3 days) it just says no signal. Would that be a PoE thing because the camera is working on the Amcrest app when the BI App says no signal Regardless, I...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    I am using an older Unifi PoE injector for an AP I am not using anymore. It says GP-H480-050G ; POE 48-24w-G ; Input 100-240V - 50/60Hz, Max 0.75A ; Output 48V 0.5A Again the camera works absolutely fine with the Amcrest app, camera seems online whenever I check, I get snapshots in Control4...

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    Cat6 - tested the wire too with some tools and it passes a fine signal - and it was a store purchased Cat cable, not one I made/crimped on my own

    Issue with BI / Amcrest IP5M Camera

    So for a brief background, not an expert, but I've had BI for ~7-8 years, I have 12 cameras on my system, from 3-4 different manufactures, so I have some level of knowledge, though by far an expert. I have 1 Amcrest camera, an IP5M and I cannot get it in Blue Iris. it comes and goes, mostly...

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    Thank you that worked. Having BI since ~2014 this was the first hiccup so I was not sure what deactivating would do (mess up any settings, etc). seemed rather easy, and now I am back up and working (though I had to put in the product key again but no big deal).

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    I tried with ALU and didnt find anything but I did reference there was an 11 page thread and was this associated with that issue as well….

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    so if I go to re-add my most recent product key it says you have already entered it. When it comes to my overall license, I see the right one listed, but I do not see how to re-enter it short of clicking "deactivate" and then I guess following steps to reactivate it. Is that what you did to...

    Evaluation Watermark out of nowhere

    So out of the blue today I see (pun kinda intended) I see “ALU” in blue across 9 of my 12 cameras. Odd. I look and I am on 5.6.x.x and there are newer versions, but my subscription lapsed in Oct ‘22. Things work fine, no new features have appealed to me, so I didn’t renew. After rebooting BI...

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    no fix. And I am using Cisco SG switches. I’ve moved between switches and same outcome. These are direct runs and no patch panels.

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    Well I had the issue again, and I could not log into the UI with the URL on my LAN. I've tested the cable with 2 different testers, both pass on each test. I am at a loss, so I rewired how I have things powered. I isolated this camera on its own PoE Injector, and I have that plugged into a...

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    Thanks, my date/time format was similar but using a different NTP Server so I changed it to the one shown in the image on that link and I also set up an auto reboot for 1x a week.

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    Hmm, great question. I've done many things to trouble shoot but I forget if I tried to log into the UI or just took the message at face value Did you have any resolution to your situation?

    Not directly - only via Blue Iris Hmm good point. but agree, doesn't solve the root issue.

    Issues with Amcrest Camera going Offline

    Hello I have a 5MP Amcrest Turret I got from Amazon in May. I notice that every ~7-10 days it is offline and I need to reboot it and it works. I've tested the Ethernet cable and its fine. I have literally 12 other cameras on my network (other brands) and zero issues. I have tried two...

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    We have iOS and don't see Tasker and agree $5/month would be excessive My wife knows how to turn on a VPN on a desktop (uses it for work daily) its just a matter of remembering to do it on iOS for Blue Iris That said I just said iOS had this "feature" - maybe I'll play later to see if it works...

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Thanks all - I have my VPN set up via my Mikrotik router. The trick will be for me to teach my wife to turn on the VPN first then open the Blue Iris app vs just opening up the Blue Iris app.

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    I am using BI remotely via their encryption at or at least I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that there was some level of encryption/security on the end of BI. I do have a VPN that I use for other tasks, I guess I could not let BI speak to the outside world and just turn on my VPN then open the BI app.

    I am on 2.622 with a IPC-HDW5631R-ZE - are there other firmwares I need to load in succession or just the latest one in the first post of this thread is fine?

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Thanks all - I have UPnP off, Port Forwarding off and I don't use a VPN but as mentioned I use Blue Iris. I'll update the firmware from Andy as listed above too just to be safe.

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Yes all devices 10.x.x.x scheme and cameras go through the my PoE switch which is plugged into my Mikrotik router. I can look at those settings (its like a foreign language) to see if I can do some sort of prevention from accessing the internet.

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    no - my internal LAN scheme is 10.xx.x.xx and Blue Iris and my Cameras are both on that IP scheme.

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Thanks - I don't port forward if that is what you mean. I use Blue Iris to view the cameras. UPnP is off. I don't see a P2P option. Anything else I should look at?

    New massive security whole in many dahua devices (ip-cam,vdp,...)!

    Quick question - back in 2018 I purchased a few Dahua cameras from Empire Andy based on this forum's help. I noticed one of the cameras falls into this latest security bulletin. When I click into the camera and go to update the firmware via a manual check it says it has the latest firmware...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    sorry in advance - did not read all 19 pages. I did try and search - found others with similar issues but responses were a bit too technical for me. Started to finally migrate BI 4 to BI 5. Got past the Visual Studio issue and installed those files. now AVG is telling me BI 5 has malware...
