    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    wittaj was right on. Thanks also to everyone else for comments. I'm going to have pick up those POE injectors from Andy. I put it on the 24v supply last night and reenabled BI. This morning I see that it is auto tracking very well and I've had zero lost signals. Hopefully I haven't...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    I've have the led lights turned off since earlier I was getting a lot of false triggers. The false triggers were resolved with IVS, and I've monitored my switch during the motion and not seeing anything over 10.9W. I had upped the switch to deliver 16.1W max earlier since I only have a 40'...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    I did notice that I was running a 2nd sub stream. When I turned sub stream 2 off, I got many fewer disconnects. I had hundreds earlier, but this time just a few. Switched to H264, and it still disconnected as it was zooming in during autotrack. I'm going to remove BI from the equation again...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    Still having problems with the auto tracking. I can see it attempting to auto track when a car or person is moving along in the field of view, but as soon as the camera begins to zoom and track, the connection drops, the frame freezes and then re-establishes connection. Getting about 100 or so...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    OMG - I'm an idiot. Wow, I just bought 4 IPC-Color4K from Andy and set them up using MD. Didn't even know there was a smart plan for them. Now I'm just realizing my older HDW4831 and T549M that I've had for years also have IVS and smart plan. Guess I'll be changing these things around...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    It is an expensive camera. Doesn't help that I have so many trees around here. I mounted it on my garage corner around 8' high to get under the canopies, and have moved it twice to try for a better view. I had it auto-tracking before but with all the leaves moving around in the wind, this PTZ...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    What I am trying to achieve is have the PTZ and zoom follow along when it detects motion. Where would I find IVS? I see there is an "enable auto-track" in BI's PTZ/Control tab. I'm trying to understand whether these settings are made in the web GUI or in BI or in both. I also have...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    So I was following along Andy's video on adjusting the settings, mostly the PTZ auto tracking while I was in the web interface. I think I also clicked the PTZ maintenance button while I was there. Anyhow after about 30 seconds before saving anything, the camera was no longer reachable, and...

    Putting BI and cameras on vlan subnet, but using BI server on main LAN

    I have all my cameras and Blue Iris on the 192.168.4.0 network, and for years have only used one workstation to view or review footage. I just recently decided to use the BI server on my 192.168.1.0 primary LAN so that my other devices can have access to the feeds by installing a USB NIC...

    Blue IRIS 5 not allowing updates

    Old Thread, but yeah compare $34 for a one year upgrade to $58 for a new license. Could make sense to just buy a new license and use the older software license on a different box to offload your camera CPU's, e.g., indoor vs outdoor camera's, stick a BI system in your car, put a separate system...
