    Alerting for stopped motion

    I have got into BlueIris over the last few months and it's been great. I have various alerts configured across a number of cameras, complete with areas that trigger when motion is detected. We have a road on the upper portion of one of the camera views. I don't trigger alerts for that area, for...

    Oh interesting - didn't even think that the cameras themselves would also be password protected. I'll be taking one down this evening and having a closer look. Thank you for your excellent pointers.

    Thank you for the response, Alastair. I am not at home right now so can't check but is the assumption that I can use this even if I don't have the password to the NVR? If so, that could well be what I need and I thank you for the suggestion. If that's not possible then I am interested to know...

    Options for existing (but unknown) cameras

    We inherited a Dahua NVR3208-8P NVR with our house and hoping someone here has some suggestions about an issue we have. We have 8 cameras installed outside our house, all connected to this NVR . We can see the images from the cameras on our TV, but we pretty much can't do anything else. The...
