    lost trigger icons on timeline, et al.

    Alerts are at zero. It seemed it was doing ok earlier. Do these need a separate allocation from the new folder. I have 12TB. What should I allocate to new vs alerts

    lost trigger icons on timeline, et al.

    Here I go again. Hopefully not as lame as last time. I am loosing all of the trigger times and indicators on the timeline. Just awhile ago I only had them back to 3PM today. Now they are all gone. Some new ones have appeared but the disappear within 5 minutes. Baffled. I now have 9000 GB...

    Not recording as expected

    I have my cameras installed and working on remote access. Have LPR working well. I now have an issue with retainage of any recordings for more than 8 hrs. I believe everything was setup correctly and have checked and rechecked. I need another set of eyes at this point. Attached are some...

    Remote viewing

    I have a netgear that has open vpn. Got kinda lost trying to get it to work and dropped pursuing if there was a more viable option. Tried remote desktop at home but that close app on BI computer. The idea was to monitor in several locations. Do you use open vpn with success. I think it...

This would be both within and outside the house. Ending up rather overwhelmed and have tried opertier, ngrok, etc but undable to...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    Thanks for this info. You sent me the several of the next items I will need to do. Found another NIC card and will have later in week. All of the other config info is also helpful. I may be slow to figure out some of this stuff but have always been a DIY'er. It is actually kind of fun as I...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    There looks to be two shorter/small open slots in retrospect. There si a Realtek Chipset Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network Interface Card with Low Profile Bracket (No Software)) on Amazon that looks like it might do the trick. Couldn't find much info on how to install and configure but...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    I have the computer set to 192.168.1.100 and the cameras up to .116 currently. I have the small form factor dell and I can't see a way to add a card. There are USB to ethernet adapters. Do you think that would suffice for the connection to the router? Time to reread on optimization. Was...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    I have all cameras using shielded cat6 directly to a 16 port POE+ switch. This switch then connects directly to computer that is a dell optiplex -I7-8700 3.2 Ghz w 16G ram. There is a ethernet cable from my router that also connects to switch. That is my current config. Thanks Still need...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    Thanks to all. At some point the IE interface started working. I now have multiple cameras up and running. One thing I am now experiencing is significant camera latency. I am sure it is all user error and that someday I will figure it out. Until then if someone has any suggestions it is...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    Put the Reolinks on the 192.168 subnet and all cameras are now showing. Thanks for the tip on using camera gui for zoom etc. Reolink works in BI. I am not able to access cameras for some reason thru IE. Not sure why as I would like to avoid the configtool. I ended up using configtool for...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    Make the change on network IP address. Got the one dahua up and working but lost the reolink with an address of 10.0.0.---. Assuming I need to change ip address for it. Also seems like I need to change ip address on dahua before adding another with 192.168.1.108. Trying to figure out how to...

    Dahua connection to blue Iris

    Getting late and I am out of patience to figure out how to interface a dahua camera with blue iris. First I don't seem to be able to get Internet Explorer. When I try to open it defaults to MSN. Couldn't reach camera on default of 192.168.1.108 so used the configtool. Was able to...

    Audio hookup to Dell Optiplex

    Thanks. Likely I will have many more questions once I get to configuring. Need to pull out all of the audio cable and replace with cat6. Still waiting on delivery of cable and computer but excited for an upgrade. Will have at least 8 cameras like currently but may add several more. Not sure...

    Audio hookup to Dell Optiplex

    Got it on the audio. Thanks So then motion alarms are not configurable through the cat6? It would seem that it is. I definitely want motion alarms in certain areas. Seems like this io connection may be used to trigger some external alarm as a relay device. Kinda confusing to me since I...

    Audio hookup to Dell Optiplex

    See attached. I think you mostly answered in that the audio comes thru ethernet. Seems like I will want to add a speaker/mic in certain locations with just the plug in connectors then. I am also a bit lost now on the cable 5, Alarm signal input/output and whether I need that connected. Thanks

    Audio hookup to Dell Optiplex

    I just acquired some cameras and a Dell Optiplex SFF 7050. I am not understanding how to connect audio in/out from cameras to allow two way communication via Blue Iris. Any help appreciated
