How do I stop a windchime in my field of vision for constantly triggering motion recording? I don't want to miss recording but also do not want it triggering with every move in the wind.

That fixed it. Thanks!

I am having an issue where my storage is filling up and going past the amount I set. It is not deleting after 14 days like I have set or when it goes over how much space I have set. I am posting a screen shot of the settings under clips and archiving along with showing the calendar going farther...

Awesome, perfect now! Thanks so much. I knew it had to be easy :).

Is there any setting in blue iris that would make my camera appear blurry? I have 2 of the same cameras and have them next to one another for testing and one is blurry while the other one is crystal clear. I wiped off the lens and don't see any debris on it. Any ideas?

Ok sounds good. See attached, I do have that PFB203W mount as well. Now for mounting onto the vinyl siding. Any links or tips on doing this? See attached as well for what is behind each wall. I would like to finish this today.

Ok. I tested and am able to get a decent image walking to the cam. Last questions. To get the angle and least amount of IR glare I have the camera tilted as far left as it will go in the mount. Does this look right for where I have it placed? Maybe I am just overthinking this, but it doesn't...

I played around some more tonight. I think this is the best angle I got with the least IR exposure. Thoughts?

Here is the camera test at a lower eye level. Is this more of where you guys are saying it should be? When placing a camera on the side of a door like this, do you normally try to have the door included in the frame or have the camera farther out to get a larger point of view of the area...

That makes good sense.

For those who mount the camera at eye level. Do you have any concerns of it being low enough for someone to damage? It seems to stick right out whereas when its up higher, its more hidden/out of sight.

Where do you recomend if this is too high? Would i mount on the wall? Cement to awning is a little over 8 ft.

After trying again during daylight, I think the best placement would be where I circled on the corner of the awning. I initially thought about putting it in the direct corner, but at night the IR seemed to wash out images. Thoughts on this placement location? Looking for any advice before I...

I am working on setting up my first camera. I am using a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. This camera will be setup at the back garage door entrance. Walk path comes around garage from front of home to this door. Any suggestions on placement? I made a 8 ft pole in bucket and played around with it tonight with...

Alright, thanks guys

Question. Am I missing something with this crimping tool that I bought through the link in the store on this site with cutting off the ends? There isn't a blade to cut the ends off when crimping. What is the trick to do this? Do you use the blades on the side after crimping?

Thanks all!

I think they both look the same to me. Thoughts?

Hi all, Got some cat6 cable from monoprice One directly from the manufacturer and other from amazon. The only difference is supposed to be color. When reading the label on the side of the box, one says bare copper cable other does not. Anyway for me to tell if they are both pure copper...

Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks so much guys! Reset button fixed my issue and I now have both cameras working. I do have another question now about the IP addresses for the cameras. I set my cameras ip's up to 192.168.1.x and 192.168.1.x and were able to view both cameras. Then I turned my ipv4 back to "Obtain an IP...

I can only access 2 of the 3 screws. How do i access the last screw that is being blocked by the plastic housing?

Good morning, I am setting up 2 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras. I am using Blue Iris and the config tool, tp-link 4 port poe switch TL-SG1005P. I was able to get 1 camera up and running and used the DHCP setting to change the IP address in the config tool. The other camera I had selected DELETE on...

These are not smart TV's so I am not sure I can do anything with that.

Computer question: Do I need an HDMI port on the PC I buy if I want to display video from my security cameras on a tv in my home? What I am envisioning is to go to select my input HDMI on my TV and I would be able to view my cameras live on that TV. Example: - Connect a 4 port HDMI splitter to...

Thanks SouthernYankee! I'll keep that in mind. Anyone else?

Good morning all, I am going to be purchasing everything I need to get my security system setup this weekend. Here is a list of everything I have to finish researching before purchasing. Anything I am missing before I begin all my research? Any help would be appreciated. System goal: - Outdoor...

Thank you awsum140. Does the 5231R-ZE provide color video at night? Also, I see he Andy sells through multiple venues, is one preferred over any other? It looks like most order through Alibaba store?

Thank you for the information to read. Any suggestions on a Dahua Starlight model for outdoors around the home?
