Not a recommendation but I found some interesting software via a video on Youtube that might be good for our purposes. Whilst it has a video version, which I find less impressive, the stills version appears very impressive at face recovery form even dark and pixellated images. I have to wonder...

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my BI PC to Win 11 last night. Everything went smoothly apart from I intitially turned on Secure Booting (CSM) by mistake instead of TPM and froze my pc on the boot screen with no boot menu access (quick CMOS clear sorted that out). However, when I booted...

Hi, Not sure if anyone wants to add the link to this website to the Wiki, but it contains 7 really useful ways to disable Windows Updates from non permanent ie pausing to several permanent switch off changes: https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/how-to-stop-win10-update.html I saved a copy as...

Hi, Can anyone shed any light on this and what action is needed. I have Wireguard working. However, it seems whenever I disconnect the router physically from the rj45 wall socket and thus internet, or reboot the router, I can no longer access my BI server. Checking in my router I've noticed 2...

Hi, A few minutes ago I heard a noise outside. I've gone to check the clip - current time 9.07 am, event @ 9.00am. When I play back the alert or BVR recording, both stop at 9am (presumably the end of the current clip) and the clip returns to it's start point of 7am. I cannot playback 9am on...

Jut wondering, in case I've missed it. Is there a 5442 180 degree camera or is it 4kT only?

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has tried having the illuminator set to auto in daylight on the 4kt. I'm having a bit of an issue with the 4kt on my drive. It's under a carport which reduces the available light a little. The other week, someone came delivering to my door, but when I checked the...

After much struggling I've finally got my BI App to work. It seems I have to run the WIreguard App to establish the connection and then the BI App to connect to the BI Server. Somewhat of a pain. Why they don't make for settings in the BI APp to alow it to do both, I don't know. Anyway, to the...

I made a request a while a go for better VPN support in Asus routers and low and behold, I find in mine, a whole host of options I'm sure wasn't there before. I'm sure before there was only Open VPN. The choices now are PPTP, OpenVPN, IPSEC VPN, Wireguard VPN: Which is best?

A little instruction on how to make a DIY sunshade. Sunshades can be bought off Amazon quite cheaply. However, if you're camera is like mine and needs to angled, eg at 45 degrees as here, you'll probably find an off the shelf sunshade won't shade the camera adequately as they're made for a...

I came across this recently after a re-installation and so thought I'd share the solution. This is for people using Blue Iris with dual LAN's. The situation arises where you find you cannot access the Blue Iris Web Server from devices on your LAN. On closer inspection, it appears if you check...

This is just a bit of a give back to the community in the form of a tutorial. This should be a simple feature to set up, but it can sometimes be surprisingly problematic as it only takes the slightest setting in the router or BI to upset the proverbial apple cart and result in a timeout to a...

WIth the 4kt and BI when the recording swicthes between Sub Stream and Mainstream on a trigger the picture quality is being affected. This camera is set up with custom BLC enabled on the background because without it is overblown. When on substream the picture looks fine, When the camera is...

What's the best for this scene: IVS or Motion? From what I'm reading IVS requires an object to be in the scene for at least 2 seconds before triggers apply. In this scene, a person might not be visible until they come around the rear of the vehicle and could then have travelled to the front...

The nightmare continues... After initially getting both cameras working, I discovered that they were detecting on motion (in camera) not trip wires and there was considerable lag between detection and recording. Having switched off motion and re-configured trips, I found nothing was working -...

Really sorry guys, to keep asking for assistance but really struggling here to get everything up and working properly. Seems I know more about cmaeras than setting them up! Hitting a brick wall with lots of issues - spent 3 full days trying to solve the problems and still not recording!!! I...

Hi, I'm trying to get something to switch profiles for me in the 4Kt's as at default I'm showing day settings 24/7 and a quick look at the Dahua Scheduling shows a potentially very inaccurate tool. I've followed BP's guide but when I get to Scheduling in BI, the Events Schedule, Relative to...

Hi, Need some help from experienced members here. I cannot contact my cameras except through the Config App, they come back as unreachable if I plug the cameras directly into the LAN port on my PC. The config app does give access to change IP which is great, although I'm not sure what to...

Hi Mike / BI Team, Can we please request a future update to BI for EPTZ support as these cameras are selling like hot cakes and I can only see this being a hot request going forwards:

Some AI advice needed. I've purchased 2 x 4kT from Andy. Should I run the incamera AI, Code Project AI or both for best results?

Quick product suggestion for Andy / Dahua. Looking at the threads on audio speakers, it seems no-one sells a cheap auxillery speaker for CCTV cameras. Yet cameras that come with them built in, seem to have very little cost associated to them. Why doesn't / isn't anyone producing an auxillery...

Forget PTZ's (not really) it seems lightbulb cameras are all the rage: BTW is that Looney from his younger days with that there eyesight test placard?

Tough choices. Does anyone have several of these to offer comparison opinions? I've been thinking of getting maybe 1 of each of 4kt and 5442 ZE and have been rewatching Wildcats excellent videos. However, in direct comparisons, it appears at night the 5442 might actually be clearer and that...

Don't know if anyone's tried the IPV Camera viewer recently, but it may want removing from our resources page as the web owner has now restricted access. You can start to use the utility, but after about 30 secs, which is usally whilst you're still picking the camera type, a subscription box...

Merry Christmas everybody. Have a great time with your families and lets hope Santas sack was spilling over with Blue Iris, 4Kx and 5442's!

Had my car vandalised at work today - keyed. Unfortunately outside of the cover of CCTV. Now at threat at home as well as the suspect knows where I live. Looks like I'm going to have to ty to bring forward my CCTV project. Trouble is not sure how effective I can be with 1 camera. Better than...

I have had an interesting thought recently that I thought might be of a wide interest to the community. Unfortunately I don't have the means to test it but if anyone does, maybe a project for someone....and may settle the dabate of CPU vs GPU... So the thought is, in these times of sky high and...

Just a warning for anyone who uses the pre-made patch cable supplied by their ISP. Today I broke the cable tester out to test a small patch cable I made up to go router to modem as the pre-made ones were too long - I only wanted anout 12 inches as they sit side by side. Whilst there I decided...
