I'm looking for an inexpensive PC build for a family member to run Blue Iris on. I was originally going to set them up with an NVR, but they're not very tech-savvy so they'll need my help via TeamViewer every once in a while. This is overseas, so I won't be able to physically be there after next...

I'm currently using the NSN-7324K-16P (rebranded Hikvision NVR from Nellys Security) to monitor a property I own in Europe (I live in the US) The setup itself works pretty well given my upload speed. However, because I can't be on site 24/7 I need access to my cameras remotely to change...

Hi guys, I recently purchased two Hikvsion 2T42WD-I5 4MP EXIR IP cameras for my NVR - which is the Hikvision ds-7608ni-e2/8p firmware version 3.3.6 build 151229. Because the NVR is running on a property overseas I tested the cameras here in the States using Blue Iris prior to sending them to...

Thanks man, it finally works - I really appreciate the help. My last concern is the password. Right now I'm running my cameras in a Plug-and-Play method. If I change the password from the default one on the cameras so only I can access them remotely will the NVR be able to figure that out, or...

So, I get something like http://192.168.0.103:65001 on my first camera when I go there. So, would this be correct? I'm still not sure what to type in for the multicast address The problem is I still cannot access this camera, because I'm not on a local network (the router that the NVR is...

I only have access to the NVR via the remote controlled web page (Web-GUI). I also have access to the router that the NVR is connected to in Europe, but remotely (myip:443) with 443 being the port used to access the router. This is what I'm seeing right now:

Thanks for your help so far - I just tried turning switching on the virtual host, but when I try to go to http://{NVR_ipaddress}:65001, it won't work. I'm confused as to what to I type in into the 3 spaces labeled Alarm Host IP Alarm: Host Port...

I would, but wouldn't that brick the NVR? I did some little reading on the forums here: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/archive/index.php/t-1681.html and it appears that there might be a way to access each camera individually. I'm still working on figuring this out though.

Hi guys, so today I upgraded my Hikvision ds-7608ni-e2/8p firmware to version 3.3.6 build 151229. I thought that it would work a little better if I did so, but I'm not too happy with the upgrade. I feel like they dumbed it down - a lot. Prior to the update I was able to remotely control things...

Thanks for the advice so far guys. So, assuming I go with an NVR for the second location, what would you guys recommend? I'm mainly looking for either Amazon or Nelly's Security as the vendor, but I'm also open to other options. I never used an NVR before, but my understanding is that it's...

I'm currently running an AMD FD8320FRHKBOX FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition with 8 GB of RAM. This computer was mainly designed for gaming and everyday use, with the cameras being added at a later time, hence the specs. I'm not sure about the the direct to disc option, but if its set by...

This forum has been a great piece of advice for my current camera build, but I need your help yet again guys. I'm currently running 4 cameras on Blue Iris. They are the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I 3MP, Dahua IPC-HDBW3300 3MP, Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z 3MP and ESIP-PTZMINI12X-1080p 2MP Mini PTZ 12x. All...

I recently purchased the Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z 3MP, mainly for it's automatic zoom and focus option. I have it connected to Blue Iris, but it won't let me zoom or focus. Does Blue Iris support zoom and focus on this camera, and if yes, then how do I enable it?

A while back I purchased the ESIP-PTZMINI12X-1080p 2MP Mini PTZ 12x 1080p High Definition Weatherproof IP Security Camera from Nelly's Security and I gotta admit that so far it's been working great. In fact, I liked the camera so much that I purchased another one for my property outside the...

Hi guys, I recently bought the ESIP-PTZMINI12X-1080p camera. I was told that it should work with Blue Iris, but I won't really know until it arrives later this week. Just wondering if anybody else has this camera and how easy was it to set up. Thanks in advance.
