    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    I updated my 5231R-ZE to v16. The cam seems to be working fine, but I notice that I can no longer use Blue Iris (5.3.2.11) to adjust the varifocal zoom on the camera (which I like to do once in a while as site conditions change). See the screenshot attached. I go to, for example, "Zoom in"...

    What router are you guys using?

    Thanks, SY. Can you explain this? How does your camera traffic bypass the router?

    Upgraded my original 2mp starlights to 4mp (pics inside)

    Impressive. Am I correct that IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP is FIXED LENS? Anyone know about availability of a VariFocal version of the same camera?

    Problem accessing Blue Iris over OpenVPN using ASUS router

    In case anyone is wondering, the issue turned out to be the following: My OVPN config file referenced a specific IP address (you can see this in the log file above). The OVPN config file should have referenced the URL created by the Dynamic DNS service. Apparently, my IP address changed...

    Problem accessing Blue Iris over OpenVPN using ASUS router

    Thanks for the thoughts. It's possible that my external IP has changed, but I use ASUS' dynamic DNS service, so I think that IP address changes would be updated automatically. Good question on the OVPN cert...how would I check for expiration?

    Problem accessing Blue Iris over OpenVPN using ASUS router

    For a couple of years or so, I've been able to access Blue Iris over VPN, using the built-in OpenVPN server in my ASUS router. Suddenly, I cannot connect. I changed nothing on my router, nor the VPN client on my phone. Any ideas? Log file on my phone shows: 18:20:38.336 -- ----- OpenVPN...

    Spike in CPU usage, following recent windows 10 update

    Thanks, Beep. I rolled back to an earlier Intel video driver after reading BP's wiki that you referenced. So far, it seems to have worked! Will keep an eye on CPU usage!

    Spike in CPU usage, following recent windows 10 update

    I recently ran the windows update feature, and so i'm currently running Windows 10, version 1809 (OS build 17763.253). Prior to Windows update, Blue Iris ran great with CPU usage typically around 15%. Following the Windows update, Blue Iris is dropping frames, and CPU usage is now around 70%...

    Dahua Starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) -- Blue Iris config question

    Thanks, that definitely was the issue! So, "key" is really just the ratio of FPS to iFrame Interval. When I log into the Dahua camera to adjust settings, I notice that the Dahua camera interface defaults to an iFrame interval of 2x the frame rate (which Blue Iris calls "key" of 0.5)...

    Dahua Starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) -- Blue Iris config question

    So, I've installed this Dahua cam, at the recommendation of many folks on this board. It works great, so thanks! One question, though. Sorry if this is a noob issue, but when I go into Status > Cameras on Blue Iris, I see a "key" value of 0.50. All of my other cams, show a "key value" of...

    Lets talk about UPS power supplies

    Without BlueIris GUI (or service) running (but with anti-virus software), power draw from the PC is roundly 18W. Oddly, there seems to be little difference in power draw between 1) BI service ON (monitor off) and 2) BI Full GUI ON (also with monitor off). Both are roundly 54W-55W. Perhaps...

    Lets talk about UPS power supplies

    I just manually disabled each of the cameras in BI. With all cameras disabled, and BI still running, CPU load was between 0%-1%.

    Android app "using permissions in the background" ?

    Thanks for letting me know, wizen. I am surprised that this issue is not of greater concern on the forum.

    most recent update file is 40MB...why?

    Yes, I'm a few months behind in updates. Still the filesize increase is puzzling...can that all be attributed to UI3?

    other recent updates were approximately half the size. anyone know the reason?
