    Similar application to DMSS for windows

    Are there any apps or programs similar to DMSS that will allow access to multiple camera SD cards without using the camera’s gui?

    Camera not recording to SD card

    Now, pretty sure it’s a bum sd card. However, I can record “general” and the camera records to the card no problem. IVS events registering in BI are not being recorded to the sd card. Have any of y’all experienced this?

    Camera not recording to SD card

    Thank you for confirming settings. I’ve got mine setup the same way. I think my sd card may be shot or shit. It’s definitely not recording like it should.

    Camera not recording to SD card

    I’ve got a camera not recording to an SD card. My initial issue was that the camera was not overwriting and would stop recording all together. I formatted the FAT32 SD card and now nothing will record to it. This is in a Z12E. I have the same card in another Z12E and it operates as expected by...

    Z12E losing focus

    Ok, I’m using Dahua New V5 to set a day/night schedule. Do I disable “PTZ and other controls?” Or can I disable it somewhere else?

    Z12E losing focus

    That does help and I had to do that as well.

    Z12E losing focus

    I think when I double clicked the camera, I may have been adjusting the focus. But, I swear I had the same thing happening clicking maximize. I switched from the generic find/inspect to Dahua and changed my onvif back to port 80. I seem to be able to maximize the screen any way and not lose...

    Z12E losing focus

    Good afternoon, I’ve got a Z12E camera that I’m having an issue with. Scenario: I’m zoomed all the way in crystal clear picture in the cameras gui and on the BI screen. I either double click the screen in bi or click maximize and the camera immediately loses focus. I have profiles set up for...

    ipc-t5442t-ze Current video play is poor

    I had tried it in dmss and it was the same thing. I found another and swapped it out. It operates as advertised now. ‘Twas a cheap ass sony sd card. I won’t be buying more of them lol.

    ipc-t5442t-ze Current video play is poor

    That was my last one. I’ve got a 512gb Samsung pro in my ptz and the other two have 32gb sandisk. The switch should handle everything I think. That leaves me with the SD card or camera to check. I’ll get one on order.

    ipc-t5442t-ze Current video play is poor

    The cameras go the same poe switch BI and the router are on and are all connected to the same switch. Should I have another switch running from my poe/bI to my router? My other three cameras run like a champ.

    ipc-t5442t-ze Current video play is poor

    All cameras are going through switches now and then to a router and BI. Sony 8GB Class 10 UHS-1 Micro SDHC up to 70MB/s Memory Card (SR8UY2A/TQ) https://a.co/d/d3yn1CD That’s the SD card. Would a bad sd card cause these issues? I thought they might because I couldn’t think of anything besides...

    ipc-t5442t-ze Current video play is poor

    Good afternoon, I’m having a playback issue with an ipc-t5442t-ze stating that the Current video play is poor. BI is receiving triggers and displaying them without issue. However, I’m having difficulty with playback from the local SD card. Playback on this particular camera always reverts back...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hey! (again lol). I’ve got things working perfectly for two z12e cams and a turret cam. However, when I use this program in my ptz, I get the response of an “invalid” preset. Is there something different I should be doing with a PTZ?

    Pixelation triggering motion

    I will. I’ve found myself missing different triggers that should’ve been apparent and will go back to what I’ve done in the last day or two. I’ll definitely keep an eye on these.

    Pixelation triggering motion

    Upon further review, I’m an idiot. The app is lagging I guess? The pixelation coincides with clouds passing over. I changed the “reset sensor when object exceeds X amount” as per another ipcamtalk thread. Changed the setting to 35%.

    Pixelation triggering motion

    Viewing in the app. Both the motion and IVS events (with nothing else in view) have this pixelation during the triggers. I first noticed with a cloud/shadow. These few events were on clear days. I’ll definitely check my bitrates and post settings when I get home.

    Pixelation triggering motion

    I’ll post my settings. This was a motion event. Look below the truck on the left and below the garage door. 1/2 the image became pixelated upon the motion trigger. Like a pixelated wave that caused the event on two different cameras. I’ve always used CBR. My sizes are all around 3-400.

    Pixelation triggering motion

    Good afternoon, I have two separate cameras that become pixelated at times and appear to go from light to dark and trigger motion. I understand why it’s being triggered, what could I do to stop it? On one of the cameras, the pixelation also causes an IVS trigger. Is this Dahua related and/or a...

    Setting BI to record motion during day only

    Good evening, Is there a way to set blue Iris to only record motion during a specific schedule? Can something be added to this utility to not use motion detection during the night time settings? This is for a Z12E camera. I’m able to isolate the exact zone with very few false alarms and the...

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    100% we’re authorized “limited personal use” of equipment. This should fall into that category. Again, not continuously viewing it. Some things are blocked some aren’t and just because it’s not blocked doesn’t mean we should be there. I haven’t tried it and am not sure it will even allow me to...

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    I don’t think any of them would use or attempt to use it. My cell service is horrible there. Allowing them (the man lol) access was as much a concern as the possibility of a prohibited practice. I use Verizon, maybe another carrier has a better reception there.

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    Any federal employees viewed BI UI3 from a workplace computer? I don’t see a problem with it. I haven’t tried it but I know everything I look at is monitored. Obviously I have nothing I’m concerned with anyone seeing on my cameras, I wasn’t sure if it was frowned upon?

    PFA121 threaded plug

    I’ve got taps up to 5/8-24. I’ll get some cable glands on order. I was thinking drill to 1/4, insert cat5 and terminate lol. I figure I could seal around the cable but your way is better.

    PFA121 threaded plug

    Nice. The second picture is what I’m trying to do. Between than and a clamp about 3-4” down from it should be good to go. I’ve seen that Ethernet fitting before. Are they readily available at Lowes or HD? Thank you Capt.!

    PFA121 threaded plug

    Good evening, I’m going to mount a camera to a pfa121. The junction box has a knockout/plug and I need to use it to run my cat5 through. The hole is a 3/4G thread which is British. Has anyone ever used these or something similar? 3/4-in Die Cast Zinc Clamp-on Type Service Entrance Connector...

    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    This is working somewhat. Now after my spotter can triggers it, ptz goes to its designated location and continues tracking me and sending alerts/triggers. BUT, the ptz keeps switching back and forth between the two presets (home and spotted location). If I disable the “return home” preset, will...
