Has anyone experienced failures of the built in illuminators from running them too high? Basically... Is there any harm in cranking the level up when it's beneficial?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but, I couldn't find an exact answer to this. I also couldn't make up my mind if this belongs in the Dahua section or here..... I'm thinking it's more Blue Iris related though. I'm using three IPC-T5442T-ZE's with IVS enabled for people only. I also have...

Hi all I pulled a working 4tb drive out and replaced it with an 18tb WD purple pro last night and no matter what I did it wouldn't show up in disk management in Windows 10. It does show up in the bios. I tried updating everything and even flashing the bios and still no dice. I'm going to...

Hi all, I'm having a bit of an issue when I export videos on my phone. Maybe that's 100% the issue I don't know. When I export them I loose the date and time in the video. Is there a setting I can change somewhere? I have this disabled on the cameras themselves as I rely on BI to give me the...

I had a very long day yesterday and put up another IPC-T5442T-ZE and was half asleep by the time I finished. So, there's a chance I did something really stupid and was just too tired. However, I have a few older IPC-T5442T-ZE from when they just started becoming popular and I've never updated...

I'm sure this has been talked about here but I haven't been able to find it here. I have 7 IP cameras and I want 6 to keep their recordings as long as possible before overwriting which works, but I want 1 of them to only store for a limited time say 12 hours. How do I go about this?

Hi all, I'm setting up a few cameras so we can watch CNC machines run in case we see, or hear an issue etc while programming in the other room. I was thinking of using the IPC-T5442T-ZE as I've had excellent luck with them for outdoor use. But I realized these machines are generally very...

Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks. Because of this forum I have two IPC-T5442T-ZE and four IPC-T2231T-ZS cameras running on BI and they're working fantastic. I recently added a VPN so I can view them from other locations. Unfortunately all my friends have the usual....

Hi all I'm running 6 Dahua cameras 3 of which are on the front of the house. We live on a main street so there's no lack of traffic all night long. The headlights trigger one of the cameras pretty bad that I run in color all night long. I've messed around with my settings but I'm hoping...

I think it's time to replace my older Netgear router and was hoping for some recommendations. Looking for a router that can handle a decent amount of traffic. We often have 4-5 things streaming video at any given time. I'm far from an expert, but I was thinking along the lines of a router and...

Hi all, I apologise if this has been talked about but I'm wondering if it would be safe to connect my ip cameras and blue iris machine to my wifi router and just block their ips in the router from internet access? Primarily I want to be able to access them from wifi in the house on phones /...

Hi all, This is probably a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. The rubber plug in the center of the PFA130-E.... How do most deal with that? The last two I installed a cut one side with a sharp knife so I could slip my wire in it. But those are under a covered porch so I wasn't...

I'm sorry but I'm having a brain fart. I currently have the default settings of 10gb and limit to 7 days for new and then 20gb for stored. However blue Iris keeps creating new clips after 3.9gb and a few times after less. What's going on? I'm running version 5.2.9.23 with two Dahua cameras...

I've been trying for a while now and I still don't have an actual answer. I'm installing cameras outside my house in NJ. Two of these will be 8 to 10 feet from a public sidewalk along what's basically main street in our town. I see mixed information on audio recording under such conditions...

Hi all, Im finally getting rid of the Zmodo stuff and switching over to Blue Iris. Is there anyway to know what the Zmodo cameras are IE 2.8, 3.6mm etc? Im trying to decide what I want and it would help if I can use my current cameras to go off of. I'm thinking of starting with two Dahua...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right general direction. I'm currently running two Zmodo systems which I ran all CAT5E for because I intended to use the Zmodo stuff as a test and never planned to actually keep it. I can run cable, build my own computers etc but I don't know what...
