So I've been away from the forum for around 18 months now. My current home setup is still doing good minus blue iris being a pain, but now I'm back and wondering what's changed in the 18 months since the 2mp starlights were the go to cameras. I have a new setup I need to put together so I'm...

Hoping someone can help me. I've been trying to get this camera to play nice with BI but I'm struggling a bit. I've had the camera working with ptz controls fine for well over a year but I've never been able to get the presets to work in blue iris with it. Has anybody got them working and...

Having a problem with this camera I've moved property recently and run all new cables for proper CCTV install. All other cams ok This one just does not want to display video. I'm running it from poe+ and it powers on fine just no video. I'm using a enterprise poe+ rackmount switch which...

Had a little while off from divulging in the camera world. However I'm back and on the hunt for another couple of cameras. Just in the process of renovating a new house and get the pleasure of getting to install my system and a few additions from scratch properly. I'm in the market for...

I'm using windows 10 machine with BI my firewall is turned off. Set the utility up installed service. Tested using the buttons in the utility to test which switches fine. once left to do its thing it doesn't switch the profiles what am I doing wrong. in windows services it is showing as...

Going to be doing an install for a friend who's had enough of the rubbish ones he has currently. Initially we are going for a 4 camera system either the 2mp 5231R-ZE or the 4mp 5442TM-AS The camera side I'm fine with but I would like reccomendations on the best NVR for the job. As I've used...

I'm looking for inspiration,I'm looking to mount on my front door at eye level to get a good facial ID of anyone walking through my gate towards my door. I've currently 2 cameras looking at that area which do provide in most instances a very good shot of any activity at the gate. But I'm...

I keep bashing my head against a brick wall here and and hoping some of the more technical whizz members can jump on board here and see what we they suggest. I've got 3 of these cameras but 1 imparticular seems to be having some issues in the dark! I'll upload a still when I can pull one from...

I understand how the .bvr gmformat is proprietary to blue iris, but have they produced a player itself? I've had the police round for an incident "knife attack" which took place near my property and my cameras have caught some footage and also sound from this incident. The police obviously...

I've cloned a camera which I'm using to setup some specific rules. All that is fine. The clone camera I've hidden as I don't need to see the camera twice in the UI. The question is, is there any way to show the alerts from this camera whilst it is hidden from the main camera screen. As it...

I'm newish to BI and been trying to get my head around 1 particular zone crossing and trigger that I can't work out. I've been trying for 3 days to no avail. I have a 5231 monitoring my front gate (gate cam) A 59225HNI ptz on overview Scenario: I want to set up so that when someone enters...

Seem to have found an issue with 1 of my 5232R-ZE cameras. It's one of the latest black ones, with the latest firmware on it. I stumbled on it last night and wondering A) if it's a big B) if it's just me The issue is during darkness when there is basically no ambient light and only IR from...

Had the above ptz for a while now and I love the camera although recently I've been having some issues with it. I'm not sure if it's actually the camera hardware or firmware itself or my network web of spaghetti causing the issues. I run the camera on timed presets and tours with ivs rules...

In the process of putting all my equipment into a central location and hoping to put several injectors and Poe switches into 1 Poe switch. I'm having trouble finding anything that's reliable and reasonably priced. Requirements are Must support poe+ for 2 ptz cams I'm running a total of 10 cams...

Might be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get my head around putting a dahua cam in corridor mode the cam specifocally is a 5232r-ze. Is it just a case of flipping the image 90° ?

Just got 2 black HDW5231R-ZE from Andy with latest firmware loaded. As well as not requiring a plugin on chrome they seem to have fixed the day/night switch issue. Or st least they've put it as an option now. Hopefully they'll bring it to all the current cams. @EMPIRETECANDY Do you...

Big thanks to @EMPIRETECANDY My latest new additions arrived safe and sound. This time I thought I'd try the black puppies. Pleasantly surprised they are dranded with the dahua logo as well. (Not that it makes a difference). Just need to find time to get them mounted and sort a new network...

I've just ordered a couple more starlight cams to more or less complete my outdoor setup (for now). 231R-ZE variants. I'm now looking at introducing some indoor cams to the system. At the moment I'm only looking at installing 2, one facing the front door in the lounge and 1 facing the rear...

Can anybody steer me in the right direction to get the rack mount brackets for the above nvr. Cant seen to find any. Not sure if they actually came with the nvr As I cant find the box at the minute. Thanks in advance

Finally getting around to cleaning up my install on my system. Currently have a messy array of cables strooned all over the place. I've got a total of (soon to be) 8 cams on the system which are a mixture of dahua and Hikvision and 2 good old Huisun cams (let's not open that debate). I have...

I've got 2 of these cams. Since yesterday I've been having an issue during all of last night with the bitrate dropping down to 32kbs every few minutes. Background: Cams have for the last e years been backup cams for 2 spots due to me upgrading to better night time cams. They have been solid...

I have had the above nvr for about 18 months now and all has been well up to a few days ago. I'm having a problem with recording and live view not recording or previewing on live view properly. It's started skipping and pausing and freezing by up to 5 seconds at a time. The nvr has a 1tb WD...

Merry christmas folks I need someone brains as I'm quite stumped About 6 months ago I picked up a hdw-5231rp-ze from @EMPIRETECANDY When I received it I managed to snap the torx key in the grub screw. Well alas it's been 6 months waiting for me to sort it out. Long story short I've had...

Pulling this into it's own thread so it doesn't get list in the specific camera thread. I have a hikvision nvr : DS-7632N-E2 And I've hooked up the 2mp starlight dome to it : SD59225U-HNI PTZ I'm having an issue whereby the image is filling the 16:9 space in live view but it's making...

@nayr is it possible you can sent me a pm/conversation as I need to as you some details I don't want to disclose on the open forum. So I'm just about to order the above ptz. I've been away from the scene for 18 months or so and just come back to see how the hobby has progressed. I have been...

I'm in the market again for another ptz speed dome that has auto tracking. I currently have the huisun but need another. The huisun is great but the new location may not suit the huisuns limited auto tracking facility. So I'm looking at something that is either hikvision through and through...

Had my nvr up and running for a few months now and everything has been brilliant From the get go it's been running 2 3mp 2032's a 1.3mp huisun speed dome and a 2mp huisun mini ptz bullet. Everything has been great until 2 days ago the nvr has started to freeze and stutter from the live...

Is there any way to change the server port for the huisun cameras? I have 2 that I need to remotely access but currently can only ever get to see one due to ivms using the server/media port to work There doesn't seem to be any option to change this either from within the Web gui or the...

I know this is the wrong section initially but it's hikvision specific. Does anyone use a hdmi to dvi cable/adapter with their nvr As I'm having trouble getting one to work with a 78 series nvr I know both ports work fine so I can rule that out but I can't for the life of me get a...
