    Hikvision Camera Recording

    I understand the security risks about Port Forwarding. Unfortunately at this time a VPN is not an option for him. If you know of any well written tutorials on how to set up a VPN I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Chris

    Hikvision Camera Recording

    Unfortunately my uncle got as new router without telling me so I can no longer access his cameras. I'll be there is 2 weeks and I'll port forward again so I can access them. I'll look into exporting the event and report back. Not too sure of the length of the motion events, but again, I'll...

    Sub Streams Question

    Thanks. I just went into all my cameras and selected the highest widescreen resolution offered. This way everything shows widescreen, the layout, the remote viewing and the recording. It would be nice to use the full camera's resolution potential, but the widescreen is a better tradeoff for me.

    Sub Streams Question

    I believe the model is Dahua HFW 2100N Attached you will find the request screen shots. Note, although the camera's main stream's resolution is 1920x960, I currently have anamorphic checked to have it show widescreen. Camera's GUI Settings = Dahua Camera.JPG BI Camera's Video Tab = BI Video...

    Sub Streams Question

    I think I figured out the issue. A while ago I had recently bumped all my cameras up to the highest resolution they offer. For the camera I had been testing sub streams with, an older Dahua, its highest resolution is 1280x960 which is actually a 4:3 format. So the camera actually shows as a 4:3...

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    I just purchased the extended maintenance & support so I could update to 5.5.8.2 (stable) hoping that would resolve the issue, it didn't. I see the edit layout button and I'll try that a little later today and report back.

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    Thanks for the reply. So if you look at the two attached pictures, you'll see that force size-main allows me to select an image format and force it to that size in BI. If I add a sub stream, the option defaults to the sub stream's resolution and the option to force the image format is grayed...

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    So I'm finally going to set up DeepStack using the GPU version at the end of July when I'm at my cameras' location. I'm having some difficulty with sub streams. I already posted here - Sub Streams Question, but I was hoping someone would be able to assist me in this thread as it has been...

    Sub Streams Question

    Hello everyone, I have finally gotten around to using sub streams in Blue Iris. I never had a need for them as my CPU ran at a steady 20% with all 10 of my cameras at their full resolution and 10 FPS. I'm looking into using DeepStack AI and it seems as if everyone uses sub streams to ease the...

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    @sebastiantombs - Thanks for the quick reply. I really don't care if Deepstack sees the other animals as a dog or a cat. So long as it sees something and processes that alert. I'll determine what the animal is when I see the alert so I guess I have that covered. I too will be using the CPU...

    Hikvision Camera Recording

    Hey all, Hope you can help. My uncle asked my to set up 2 cameras for him so I mounted 2 Hikvision cameras. He does not have Blue Iris and just wanted to view clips here and there to see what is going on in his driveway and outside of his shop. I set him up with micro SD cards to capture the...

    Slow Refreshing of Clips

    Hey Everyone, I upgraded from Blue Iris 3.0 to 5.0 over the weekend. I still have Internet Explorer set to remotely access my cameras. For some reason, automatic refreshing of the clips takes quite some time compared to when I was on version 3.0. I have all the same settings set in 5.0 as I...

    Camera losing frame rates

    So I'm back up and running. I was finally at my camera's location this past week and checked all my lines. I had one long run running through eye screws that were screwed into trees. Over time the trees grew around the eye screws and the cable was embedded into the tree. I cut the cable here...

    Camera losing frame rates

    Thanks guys. My plan is to first test the camera, Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I, on its own to make sure it is still working. I think I'm also going to re-run the cable, but go with sebastiantombs suggestion of using quality cable and having just one run of cable, eliminating the connectors and stray...

    Camera losing frame rates

    Thanks for your reply. The cam is on a platform I use for hunting and is only 12' high. I have seen scat on the platform, so it very well may have been an animal that chewed it. It is possible that something happened to the cable, but I won't be able to tell until I get to the camera location...

    Camera web server dead?

    So I ran the tests you suggested. My switch port lights up when I connect the camera. If I ping 192.168.1.103, I receive a destination unreachable message for the first attempt, then 3 successful replies from 192.168.1.2. If I ping 192.168.1.2 I get 4 successful replies. What I find weird is...

    Camera web server dead?

    Been trying to resurrect some cameras this week and thanks to alastairstevenson, I was able to get a Hikvision working again. I have a Dahua or Generic Dahua camera. It doesn't say Dahua on it, it says ip66 icamera. Model # is IPC-HFW2100N-0360B, so I'm pretty sure it is a rebranded Dahua...

    Any luck with password resets?

    The camera is a bullet and does have a reset button on the back. I reset it, yesterday, but it still shows my brother's IP in SADP. Is there a procedure I should be following? Going to connect it in a little while and get you the info you requested.
