Ok. I tried giving additional permissions but that didn't work. I don't know if I understand your edited comment though. You are saying I might need to create a user named blue iris, give it a username and password and then blue iris will log in and use those permissions to write? Edit: I...

We're making progress. When I did that it shows that it created a Blue Iris folder and two subfolders (alerts and stored), but there are no video files there. I purposefully did a test recording and in the clips pane it shows them (although at 00seconds). I included a screenshot.

Greetings everyone, Currently I have 4 cameras running on Blue Iris, and a Synology DS916+. I'm having trouble with the recording side of things. Ideally, I'd like a recording event to store itself directly on the Synology and not on my desktop. I've tried several things, but it simply isn't...

I received the new IP cameras this weekend. I reset all existing hardware, made sure the connectors were setup properly and when I plugged them in, it worked! No issues, everything is showing up perfectly. AGAIN...I need to thank all of you for taking the time to help me troubleshoot all of...

This is a nightmare. Ok...all of the connectors are pull through, so the wires are for sure connected properly. I've also ran continuity testers on all of them and it all works. STILL NOTHING. I switched out the connectors on the non poe camera and it worked. Also, I used 2 stock cat5 cables...

Ok. First and foremost I want to thank all of you for your patience and thoughtful replies. I tossed and turned last night because none of this made sense and I was going mental. I made the changes, and I'm still getting nothing. However, my switch is now telling me that for one camera, the...

I made the cat6 cables, the cat5 cables that work were store bought. Ok...I'm making a patch cable right now to test this out.

Uh....No? I was shown that the order of the wires doesn't matter as long as that same order is followed on the other end. Don't tell me that would matter...

Sorry, I forgot to mention this. I made a Cat6 patch cable and ran it directly from the switch to the camera 10 feet away. It wouldn't work. However it would work with the laptop. I made sure the wifi was off. It just doesn't make sense.

I've performed continuity tests and everything checks out. The longest cable run is probably 50 feet. However, the lines run from the attic down the wall and right next to/by electrical wiring. Of course all of it is sheathed, but all of them run down the wall next to wiring. Would that be...

Greetings everyone, I recently purchased three home security cameras and ran new cat6 cables for each camera. Here are the specifics for all of the hardware: (2) Amcrest ProHD Outdoor 1080P POE Dome IP Security Camera IP2M-844E (1)Amcrest ProHD Outdoor 1080P WiFi Wireless IP Security Bullet...
