Disregard. A reboot fixed this. Newbie problem as expected.

Hi there - this is most likely a newbie problem, but I can't seem to find the answer in searching Google / Forums. I have had Blue Iris working great since version 4 - using the Dahua 2MP turret cameras that have been highly recommended. With the recent upgrade to BI 5, I also added some 4K...

I posted in a different thread - but did you try this? Good luck

I've been scanning various sources to get the HIK doorbell to work with a digital chime - but came across a tutorial for getting 2 way audio enabled. I can't be certain if this works on this model - but worth a try. Good luck - and great info from everyone with this device :)

Hi @mat200 - mine looks a bit different, but I believe what you posted is the corresponding model that matches what Vivint/Alarm.com supply. In reviewing the Manual for the PT8133W ithe user interface and configuration screens are pretty much identical. For reference, mine looks like the...

Hello there, Hoping to seek the guidance of helpful members of ipcamtalk :) While cleaning for the New Year, I found an old Vivint camera which was not being used. I decided to hook it up and see if I could access the camera via the IP. Turned out there was a login/password requirement - but...

Yes I can confirm the HDW5231R-Z has AUDIO through Blue Iris. You need to enable it first through Dahua settings, then set it up in Blue Iris.

Hi @Sathish - The process I posted was exactly what I did to get my cameras working. The only thing I can suggest is to try reloading your firmware and trying to re-install the hack again. I did Google your error code - the other issue might be Blue Iris - maybe check the troubleshooting noted...

I purchased 3 of these cameras from @EMPIRETECANDY who is a top notch seller, and the cameras are quite amazing. With regards to the Dahua software and using SD Cards, I had numerous issues, which I had documented in my posts when I first joined this forum. That said, if you have a PC that is...

Hi @rymurph - yes it enables FTP as well. The process I've documented is working well with my blue iris setup.

Yes sir @looney2ns ! I started reading up the help file last night - and I've made some tweaks which definitely have improved how the timing and content of the "clips" generated from BI. Still have lots to learn for sure. Curious, does BI have the ability to generate an end of day summary for...

Let me preface by saying - this post is not meant for the hardcores - as certainly they would have better alternatives for indoor monitoring. I'm getting my feet wet with the DIY security setups, as opposed to the consumer grade products. I'm quite pleased with my Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras...

@bigredfish thanks for the insight. I'm currently learning from scratch - coming from consumer grade cameras where everything is predefined, and relatively easy to setup. That said, migrating to Dahua cameras and BI, has been an eye opener in terms of capabilities. I'm really happy with my...

Thanks for the suggestion @bigredfish . I can attest the image quality is quite good as there are some streetlights which help. In reviewing the overnight content from Blue Iris, I captured an individual sneaking onto a neighbors property. I provided the video to them for their awareness...

Thanks @mat200 for sharing your notes - lots of great info there I see. I'll definitely be investigating the VPN setup a little more closely, now that I've got my 3 x IPC-HDW5231R-Z mounted and configured. I started out testing the capabilities of the cameras by installing SD cards. I would...
