    Bird Feeder Hide

    I just re-read the thread, it might even be a camera problem. Maybe it's starting to fail. I'd swap out another camera as a first step to try to eliminate the camera as the problem. Maybe check the camera on a short cable and with the tester to see if you get different results. If the...

    Bird Feeder Hide

    ya, doesn't sound like a cable length issue. I would think that distance should be easy.

    could it be distance related? How long is the cable?

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    way to go! You're certainly fortunate to find a solution. I came to the conclusion that my Dvr was just too old. I ended up putting in my "old" box of parts. When the pain has worn off, I may just pull it out again and see if some new tricks might work. Thanks for the posting.

    Lorex N882A6

    Before jumping into a new Lorex DVR, consider the BI route. I had a DVR and then loaded BI onto an old Windows XP computer (that was running other software too). I ran BI, but it maxed it out. I ultimately purchased a refurbed HP and installed BI on it. It nicely accepted the input from my...

    What happened to Live Cams Pro on iOS?

    I have used IP Cam Viewer pro and have been very pleased. I haven’t found a camera that it cannot deal with. Also, Robert’s support is great!

    Well my 3 year old lorex is dying, any suggestions on firmware upgrade or new device?

    I have found Lorex support on the phone to be quite good. Give them a call with your model and serial # they should be able to help.

    Considering moving to PC blue iris, versus current lorex nvr. Questions, comments invited.

    I also found that BI would drop cameras if the CPU was stressed. I could still see cameras via other means, but BI dropped them. When I upgraded my PC the problem went away. Check your CPU usage to make sure that it's not a potential problem.

    Another addiction

    While I consider myself an infant with Blue Iris, I've been running Homeseer for about 20 years. In past year I converted one of my Homeseer systems from HS 1.7 to HS 4. It was a bit of a "jump" since I too had a lot of custom scripts I had written over the years. It took me a couple of...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    I had a similar setup for my original BI installation. It consumed a lot of the cpu, but worked fine for a couple of years before I bought a refurbed HP unit as suggested in the "Cliff Notes". At that point I ran BI V4. IP cameras would not plug into the DVR, but would be input to the BI...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    depending on your dvr, you could likely add 2 more cameras to it, and connect to the router. BI can probably access the cameras on the DVR. It's easy to spend a lot of money on cameras. There are very knowledgeable people on this site. Read the Cliff Notes in the wiki. If you just want...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    you can only install on one computer at a time, but you can move from one to another quite easily. Blue Iris also allows you to install a demo version/trial without paying. You could give it a try. It sounds like you're in good shape. I suspect that you may be limited by the camera...

    Is it worth the trouble using this

    my suggestion would be to buy blue iris and install it on your i5 desktop so you can then tinker with it. Use the DVR that you've got with existing cameras. This will allow you to get your feet wet and determine what you want/need. I've seen a number of people buy equipment and cameras that...

    Blue Iris failure in Posting... message is "FTP: 530 sorry, the maximum # of hosts (10) for this user are already connected

    Thanks Mike, I've been trying to work through this for a few days now. I have Blue Iris running at 2 locations. One location (the remote one!) is working fine. The one at home is the one failing. The problem cause appears to be too many connections at one time. I have 15 cameras posting...

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    I want to thank everyone for their help. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to work. I also use IPCamViewer, and it too does not find a valid stream. It does provide a long list of potential streams to try. It will take some time to try them one-by-one. I'm not too optimistic...

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    I took the password off to see if that might be an issue. Didn't alter the outcome so I've put it back on now. Are the Media/video/RTSP port = 80 and the Discovery/ONVIF port = 8999 correct in this case? Do I need any stream profile defined?

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    I reset the DVR. It shows The HTTP port is 80. Using BI discovery (with the LAN IP address included) shows "RTSP port detected". It also shows a Discovery/Media port as 8999. I"ve attached 2 screen snapshots. I think I may be SOL. Any other ideas? Would any port forwarding that I've done...

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    I tried the reset, it shows the HTTP port as 80. Still nothing found. When I do the discovery, it says "RTSP port detected" but when I "OK" back to the live screen in BI it continues to show "Not Found".
