    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks. I will give that a try. I reset my statistics, unchecked the RTSP keep alives and will report back later if the "No Signal" counter slows down. I use BI and CodeProject AI for motion events, so don't really use in camera smarts at the moment.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    How do you disable RTSP keep alives? Are you saying that is an option in the Reolink firmware? Or in Blue Iris?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Ok. Seeing more "No Signal" errors than my other cameras and in BI it is noticeably behind the other cameras when a car drives by (like 1-2 seconds behind). Hopefully these are all fixable by getting updated firmware that allows fixed frame rates and setting the iframe like the other Reolink...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Ha! I pulled a cable from my network rack and had it coiled below the doorbell in an unfinished room last week. Today I just had to convince my wife to grab the wire snake and then guide a cable up before terminating and getting the siding notched for the doorbell. Answers: Recording...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Got my cable pulled and connected. It doesn't look like my old mechanical chime is working, so would like to see if future firmware would let the doorbell push turn into an ONVIF event. I am using BI with CodeProject AI for object/person detection. The FOV is different than my Lorex 2K, but I...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Received my POE Reolink Doorbell today. Some bad news (at least so far) is that the current firmware does not allow fixed frame rate with iframe setting to 1. When added to BI it has an iframe that is variable and shows 0.5 and the substream has iframe of 0.25. Image quality looks pretty good...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Did you get the email that it was delayed to December? Just wondering if that was a generic email and I could receive it early or if you ordered way ahead of me and got in the first batch to be sent out. Thanks for the information on it working so far.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Chime may require setup with the app and be wifi based? Not a deal breaker, and can likely be solved with a relay and home assistant, but interesting to leave out. This will be my 3rd "smart" doorbell and the first one without the ability to have the mechanical chime work.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Little disappointed it won't work with my existing mechanical chime (without some hacking anyway) but glad teh see the picture quality was the best in day and at night.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I think the main value proposition is POE powered and ONVIF/RTSP compatible, so wifi and cloud subscriptions are a moot point.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Been using 2x Reolink Duo 2 POE for a few months without issue on BI5. Had a poor experience before on previous firmware but the wide FOV fit a few use cases inside without a need for night time capture. I have preordered this doorbell and plan to run a cat5e cable to the doorbell location for...

    Blu Iris 5 no longer recording clips

    Well if I am going to start over...do you think I should just go to the most recent stable version?

    Blu Iris 5 no longer recording clips

    Thanks for the quick response. I guess I am not sure what my other options are? I have current alerts in the 'Alerts' folder and the thumbnails are stuck at Sept. 9 since it failed. If I delete and regenerate new database I will have no thumbnails but hopefully going forward it will work? Or...

    Blu Iris 5 no longer recording clips

    I went back all the way to 5.5.6.5 and still no alerts or timeline with AI marks after repairing database several times. Is it ok to delete/generate new db? When I look at my folders, the alerts are there and they are showing up live as motion/AI objects are detected.

    Lorex 2K QHD Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Outdoor Security Camera

    I just upgraded to BI5 and can now report that at least for the last 5 hours, the lag is gone and it appears to act like my other cameras (Dahua & Amcrest). Not sure why I didn't upgrade a year ago.

    Lorex 2K QHD Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Outdoor Security Camera

    I have had this installed since April and in BI4 via RTSP. /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 My only complaint is that the video lags behind all of my other cameras by like 30 seconds. It can be annoying. The app is instant, and the notifications are instant via the app and through...

    BI Black Friday Pricing

    2nd thread on this topic. I would suggest making it clear on the main purchase page that it is a coupon not a sale price and it won't show until the cart.

    Blue Iris Sale Not Working?

    Disregard. The little cart on the side when you add it still showed $57 but if you click view cart from there you get the $8 coupon applied and it drops in price. Finally going to upgrade from BI4 to BI5...wish me luck!

    A New Doorbell

    Does Dahua make this version as well? 2K Wired Video Doorbell with Person Detection (lorex.com) I would love to get a Dahua version as the Lorex firmware and app suck.

    Dahua initial setup - DHCP always grabs same or existing Dahua camera IP

    I think I will now that I know! I think this is my only set of devices that has that silly hard coded IP address like that so I haven't had to divide up my DHCP pool. I'm sure I have a few other network setup mishaps I need to fix...I will eventually find them all. Thanks for the help!

    Dahua initial setup - DHCP always grabs same or existing Dahua camera IP

    LOL. Ok this is my garage camera's IP and explains it all. Thanks! Of course I don't use DHCP for when the camera is setup but I need to log in the first time via a network connection to change it to static.

    Dahua initial setup - DHCP always grabs same or existing Dahua camera IP

    I have noticed on the last three 5442 Dahua cameras when I plug the camera into the switch in my office for initial setup, it always seems to take the IP of another Dahua camera on the network and it acts strange as the previous Dahua was set as static address but it seems to flip back and forth...

    Rotate & Mirror causes interlacing artifact in alerts & clips - BI4

    I have a Loryta IPC-E3541F-AS-M from Andy mounted in hallway mode looking at my front door from inside. I have to rotate it 270° and mirror it to make it look like I want. When I do that the alerts and clips all get messed up with triplets in bad interlaced artifacts that make it unusable. I...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Yes, I probably over reacted with the multiple question and exclamation points. I did find the next version in the forum. https://wyze.com/firmware/demo_V2_RTSP_4.28.4.41.bin?fbclid=IwAR01pAbGw0hwxBiQ4PIT8Q89kE5JrUGFAnkAWWPCaJmapJ7eBvg-4HRGHYY Will try it this week.
