    Need recommendation for cheap DVR that will connect to BI

    I did. But the ones I found on Amazon seem to be pricier than DVRs. So I'm thinking of using a DVR as a cheaper analog-to-IP converter.

    Need recommendation for cheap DVR that will connect to BI

    Yes, I tried adding camera and then typing in the IP address. In fact, I’ve tried almost everything that’s been suggested on this forum. There has been quite a few who had Zosi DVR and couldn’t connect them to BI. One person mentioned in a thread that Zosi officially told him that Zosi DVRs...

    Need recommendation for cheap DVR that will connect to BI

    Yes, they are actually doorbell cameras from AIPhone. I currently have a DVR from Zosi, but it fails to connect with BI.

    Need recommendation for cheap DVR that will connect to BI

    Many threads here suggest that not all DVRs can connect easily with BI. Which cheap model will connect with BI for sure? My only goal is using the DVR as analog-to-IP converter, in order to connect a couple of analog doorbell cameras to BI. I don't need any bells or whistles of high-end DVRs.

    My AIPhone doorbell cams feed CAT5e cables. Can video signals be isolated from them?

    I searched its user guide and found no mention of RTSP or ONVIF. Does that mean the video signal is probably proprietary?

    My AIPhone doorbell cams feed CAT5e cables. Can video signals be isolated from them?

    Sorry, I posted that thread but found incorrect description and had to delete it. Yes, the DVR has a LAN port. This is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMGG2VJ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_9NE6ZTJT1FS8KR7K4JCW The DVR is basically a linux box that you can connect through a proprietary app...

    My AIPhone doorbell cams feed CAT5e cables. Can video signals be isolated from them?

    I moved into a house that has an AIPhone AX doorbell and intercom system. The central unit that receives doorbell videos can only produce analog video signals through BNC ports, which are not amenable to integration with Blue Iris. As an alternative, I'm thinking of ways to hijack the video...

    Possible to reduce false alerts from headlight reflection on snow?

    I noticed that BI generated a number of false alerts for headlight reflection on snow from this past snowstorm. Is it possible to reduce those kinds of false alerts?

    Any clever way to receive motion detection from IB or cams blocked from the internet?

    I'm using my Synology NAS as the VPN server. I don't think the FiOS router can do VPN.

    Any clever way to receive motion detection from IB or cams blocked from the internet?

    Solving one problem leads to another. Doesn't it always... It turns out that my Verizon FiOS router has a rudimentary firewall functionality that can block the entire traffic but cannot selectively block the incoming traffic. Short of replacing the router - it's an idea that was seriously...

    Any clever way to receive motion detection from IB or cams blocked from the internet?

    Just to make sure I understand you correctly, are you suggesting that I block only the incoming traffic, unblock the outgoing traffic from the BI server, and make use of BI's native notification function? (I'm already using VPN to access BI from outside of my network.)

    Any clever way to receive motion detection from IB or cams blocked from the internet?

    I've blocked all my cameras and the PC running BI from accessing the internet for security reasons. Under these circumstances, is there a clever way to receive motion detection notice from BI? I have a SmartThings hub at home, which can receive zigbee and z-wave, if that can be utilized in any way.

    Is internet required for access by iOS app in the same network?

    I've blocked the internet access from the PC running BI. When I am away from home, I still can access BI through VPN. By the same logic, can I use the iOS app connected to my home network via VPN to access BI? Or does BI need internet connection to work as a server?

    Well I tried the help file but couldn't find useful info. Can you at least give me a general direction?
