    PTZ controls suddenly stopped working

    FWIW - I'm using Vivaldi browser and it works just fine with BI and UI3. And, knock on wood, I haven't had any further problems since starting this thread. Oh, and Brave also works fine.

    Drives overallocated even after rebuilding DB

    I too have the "DRIVE(S) OVERALLOCATED!" message and I cannot, for the life of me see where and why. I have tons of free space and none of my allocations are anywhere near capacity. The only storage location that Blue Iris is using is NEW, all the others are empty.NEW is a 1.92TB SSD with almost...

    Motion detection and alert clip storage

    Sorry for the belated reply, I haven't been getting notifications from this thread. Previously I was recording to a 1.92TB SATA SSD in the blue Iris server. Nothing wrong with the drive, it's been repurposed and I haven't had any problems with it. The current drive is also serving as the boot...

    Motion detection and alert clip storage

    Up until recently I have never gotten motion detect events to register properly. Best I could ever get was 50% or slightly more motion events to record. I played around with every setting I could find to no avail. My most recent camera, a Dahua SD4A425DB-HNY was by far the worst. I was lucky if...

    I hid my clips

    Used a Moderro Signage computer with a fresh install of Windows 10 (wanted to use Linux but couldn't get sharing to work. Installed a 2TB NVMx M.2 drive. Mounted a 120mm fan on top (It's a fanless no moving parts mini computer. Configured BI to save the clips to the share folder hid it in a...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Can somebody tell me why I would want the internal temp of the camera displayed on the image? Seems like external temp would be more useful.

    PTZ controls suddenly stopped working

    9/17 was the last update so that wasn't it. As for making changes, I haven't even opened BI in a couple of weeks so no changes made. In troubleshooting I did reload Blue Iris.reg which was a month or so old and that had no effect other than that to invalidate my license (:mad: why does it do...

    PTZ controls suddenly stopped working

    Camera is a Dahua SD4A425DB-HNY. PTX controls were working fine yesterday. Today I get no response. I changed nothing but went thru all the settings anyway and found nothing amiss. I've rebooted the camera and server and nothing changed. PTZ still not working. PTZ in the camera itself works...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I have yet to get mine working properly. I can't quite grasp the concept of setting up the tripwire but I'm working on it. I did notice that tracking stops working if you change the preset after setting it up.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Just read up on the switches. They're both POE+ so they can provide 32w per port and so state. I'm the world's worse for not RTFM. :facepalm: Gotta add another :facepalm:. I have a second Dahua and it was the same way, both wall wart and POE+ to the camera.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Before purchasing this cam I read nothing about it being POE and assumed it wasn't since most PTZ cams I've seen weren't. When I installed it I powered it via the wall wart that came with it and thought that was that. Both my switches are POE+ and I just checked them and found that the...
