    Adjusting camera image on an Empiretech IPC-HDBW7842E1-Z4-X

    Okay... the actual lens will rotate too... that's what I was missing to get it back where I wouldn't have to look at my image upside down. :)

    Adjusting camera image on an Empiretech IPC-HDBW7842E1-Z4-X

    I was thinking this would be a camera that I could adjust via pan and tilt, but I'm not sure how or if I can. I can rotate it, then tilt it down a little, but the image is off. I don't see a way to pan it physically. Unless I'm missing something, my only option is to move the location or mount...

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I have Tailscale at home and on my phone, so I may as well use it.

    The local address works while at the store, but the WAN address does not work from home. I need a method of viewing the camera via mobile device and computer when not at the store.

    Yeah... I can get it open via UI3... didn't think of that to start with. It seems to be better for everything mobile.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I posted this earlier, but it was removed for some reason. I'll try again. I have BI set up on my Android S25 with my Home camera network... works well. Trying to add my store network. I entered my first/last five of the license for the store, LAN/WAN IP addresses, and username/password for BI...

    Setting up NAS for Blue Iris storage...

    Considering the loudness of the 22TB Purple Pro HDD that I tried out in my Dell Precision camera computer at home, I thought maybe I'd install the drive in an Asustor AS5402T NAS for our gun shop camera system to use as storage. Maybe run a 6TB SSD for the New video/clips on my desktop, and...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    It would probably be good to add more closer to the front door. Then go ahead and add a few more inside, and probably more in the back inside as well. For the outside, from about 10 pm to 6 am, I'll likely set up AI for persons coming close to the building during those hours, where it notifies...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    I like the idea of moving the cameras up behind the counter. I'm not crazy about the dual-lens cameras. They are not truly 180 degrees and have the distortion issue in the center (the building you see in the pic below is considerably wider than it looks). Here is the EmpireTech...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    We generally leave the lights on in the showroom 24/7. There are no windows as the entire building is wrapped in double metal. The front door is Lexan with a steel door behind it. We ran LED lights for 9 years in our other store and I think we replaced one ballast that burnt out. We will likely...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    So the following: Exterior: EmpireTech IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 8mm–32mm Vari-Focal WDR IR AI Network Bullet Camera Front door zoomed low: EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP IR Starlight 2.7mm–12mm Vari-Focal Turret Security Camera (would be easier to conceal than bullet...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    Ceilings in showroom are 10ft high. Good idea on the lower door. We actually had one just like that in our other store.

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    I've pretty much narrowed it down to where I'd like to install the cameras. 8 cameras inside and 6 outside. I may add one to view the roof. Major 4-lane highway is out in front of the showroom floor, about 40ft away from the front door. Looking at the front door of the showroom floor, there is...
