    Honeywell 20P or 21IP?

    I've installed a Vista 20p panel and 6160RF keypad at both my house and my in-laws. I've got wired and wireless door sensors, wired flood sensors, wireless motion and glass break detectors. They also have keyfobs you can use to arm/disarm the system. Lots of options and choices for monitoring...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z No Sound?

    Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it! I apparently didn't set the camera up properly/completely under Camera Properties > Video > Configure... The audio format was wrong and the Make Model was generic. I'm pretty new to cameras and blue iris but I'm learning.

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z No Sound?

    I jumped the gun a bit on this one. If I login directly to the camera and click the sound icon, I do hear the sound (doh.) So the camera/mic is fine which is nice. So this must be a Blue Iris problem. I will post a new thread over there if I can't figure it out. My other camera doesn't have...

    Hello from TN!

    I have decided to run Blue Iris instead of purchasing a prebuilt NVR. I have all of the equipment already on hand. This will give me the funds necessary to purchase a new POE switch and better cameras. Since the reviews of the Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) are so wonderful, I...

    Hello from TN!

    I'm a new member looking to install a couple of outdoor cameras after some strange happenings in the neighborhood. I almost pulled the trigger on camera system in a box but thankfully decided to find a forum and learn a little first. I've been in IT for over 12 years so I think I will catch on...
