I noticed this error as well on a couple of different v5 builds. Currently running 5.5.4.5 as that is when my support plan ended but I had it on older builds as well. A reboot fixes things for a couple of weeks maybe. I also have been getting recurring crashes on v5 but the windows service is...

Hey So I have a couple of cameras (Dahua 4431, real cheap stuff) in an extremely dusty workshop type environment. One of them has started sounding really flaky. Can hardly make out the captured audio. I am of course running without noise cancellation and the audio used to be better at some...

I tried Hamachi and it worked great, but the free version seems limited to 5 clients in the mesh network. Also, the Android app cost a boatload of money as I soon found out. My ultimate goal here is to have a local server with Hamachi or similar fetch images / streams dynamically and have it...

So I have another instance of BI behind a firewall that I have no control over. Many computers share the same IP. The only way to access the system is Teamviewer / AnyDesk etc. Any easy and preferably free method to open a tunnel or some such that will let me access the Web UI remotely? I've...

Ok! I had version 22.20.16.4771 installed. Downgrading to 21.20.16.4664 per this thread. We'll see what happens. Windows Update must have forced the update on me some time during the last week. I'm also disabling driver updates under control panel -> system -> hardware -> device installation...

So having run BI for a few months with no issues I started experiencing a string of warnings from Blue Iris Tools the other day. At first it was BI not being available for several days in a row and strangely enough this always happened around 4PM. Could have been some automated update, and I...

Yeah, that is what I thought. But I've seen some complaints about these cheap cams and that they are very often focused a bit too closely, so I thought that the blurring that is evident from the images might be improved somewhat by opening the casing and manually changing the focus.

I did some quick crops from the garage. Both cameras are at default settings and have IR active. It sure does seem like the IR settings on the 4233 does cast quite the shadow. Seems to have no problem on its own though if I disable the IR lights on the 5231. Details are obviously poorer on the...

Preliminary results for the IPC-HDW4233C-A-V2 would indicate that it is ok. At least in my situation where the lack of auto focus (?) isn't a major factor. One thing that confuses me is that the webplugin.exe file that the camera offers is not the same as for the 5231. I'm running Pale Moon and...

Not a bad idea. I'll do that. But in the meantime I bought another PURPLE elsewhere and created a return/refund process with Amazon and will send the drive back next week.

Yeah, no, since they consider Warehouse Deals a one-off you can't get a replacement. Return and refund! Also, upon examining the WD RED I got, I realized it didn't have the nice RED logo like it is supposed to. It's entirely ... monochrome. Looking closer I see it says "recertified". Looked up...

I'll email them and see what happens. The default action is always a return slip and a refund. I know from experience that Amazon (.de) usually can be quite accommodating, when items are incomplete etc. But adding insult to injury it seems the Purple is on back order so saving those $30 will...

I know this has been done to death already but the thing is I got a good deal on a WD Purple 4TB on Amazon Prime Day. It was a Warehouse Deal on top of that. And yes I know, hard drives don't like being manhandled so shipping them back and forth and whatnot is a gamble. Anyhow, the package...

Thanks for the input. I took a chance on a IPC-HDW4233C-A 2.8mm. We'll see. I saw that there were in fact a couple of people on the forum who had tested the camera already. The only think that confuses me a bit is auto focus, which seems non-existant on these cheaper cams? Shouldn't be that much...

So I have two (soon three) 5231 mounted around the house on the outside. But I wanted to replace my crappy Xiaoyi cameras indoors, specifically in the garage. Looking for something on the cheaper side, but I'm a bit confused about my AliExpress options. There is a 2MP turret model around $50...
