    Alexa not discovering Blue Iris

    I'm having the same problems as everyone else above. I followed all the recommendations here but Alexa still isn't finding blue iris for some reason. Has anyone solved this? All my other alexa devices are working perfectly.

    Time 1 hour behind on 2 of 4 cameras while using NVR

    Yes! Virtual host was the solution. I enabled that, then directly connected to the two cameras that had the DST box checked, then unchecked it. Then I made sure the main time setting on the NVR was set to use pool.ntp.org. Now all my cameras are displaying the same time. Thank you :D

    Time 1 hour behind on 2 of 4 cameras while using NVR

    Unfortunately when connected to an NVR, there is no way i know of to connect to the cameras individually to change the time. The NVR completely takes over and acts as a settings hub for all connected cameras. Man, that seems like a really annoying bug if it really is a Hikvision issue. It...

    Time 1 hour behind on 2 of 4 cameras while using NVR

    I recently got a new 8 channel Hikvision PoE NvR from Nelly's, and 2 of my four cameras are one hour behind. I added pool.ntp.org to the NTP setting, and two of my cameras are still 1 hour behind. I then tried enabling DST, but then my two cameras that are behind end up becoming correct, and my...

    Re: Email Alerts every hour, how do i change this in settings? what does it mean? tha Thank you! These hourly alerts were driving me nuts. I couldn't figure out why i was being alerted when I had my cameras set to only alert on triggers in specific zones.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    Because a new firmware would not have been released unless it had bug fixes and/or new features. Particularly h.264+ mode. I'd like to get a functional version of that feature on my camera from LTS, but they have not updated their branded firmware yet.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    For those of us with cameras from nellys and LTS, how can we update to the latest version of the hikvision firmware? It seems like neither of those places update their branded firmware very often.

    4.3.4 - April 28, 2016

    Gaussian was causing alerts to go off many times per day when there was nothing at all happening, so I had to turn it off and go back to simple.

    How is 4.3.2.0 So Far?

    The same thing happened to me. Black screens on all my cameras, then everything went back to normal once i turned VPP back off. Im leaving it off for now until more bug fixes come.

    Uploading files from Blue Iris to AWS S3

    I like amazon cloud drive much more than google drive because of the unlimited storage. I use https://www.odrive.com/ to automatically sync my clips from a folder on my computer to the amazon cloud. The free version of odrive only lets you sync a single folder, but that's all that's needed. I...

    How to prevent water from getting inside my wall behind the camera mounting bracket?

    Re: How to prevent water from getting inside my wall behind the camera mounting brack Woah, 1.25" is a pretty big hole. Was that just for the pigtail with the cat5 and power plug on it? Or did yours have other attachments as well? The biggest masonry drill bit I have is 1/2", but i thought...

    Re: How to prevent water from getting inside my wall behind the camera mounting brack That sounds like a good idea. Is this what you're referring to? http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-908570-2-7-Ounce-Silicone-Waterproof/dp/B0002BBX3U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456716743&sr=8-2&keywords=silicon+seal

    How to prevent water from getting inside my wall behind the camera mounting bracket?

    I want to install a Hikvision camera against a wall with no junction box, since i simply need to run the cable from the outside wall to the inside, then plug it in. But i want to make sure that no water can get behind my mounting bracket and leak inside my wall. What is the proper method of...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    This thread was a great read. Would the 2542 be good for a small covered porch? http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_209_i5601.html
