    Is 5231 and equivalent still better than 5442 due to IR washout

    Is there maybe a tutorial for what settings to adjust and how much to try to eliminate IR washout? My 5231s like others do not have that issue but a couple of other cameras, including a not so cheap 180A 4x2mp pano camera washes out my face on IR auto just as I get into close enough range to...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I noticed in one of the camera links under Image it says this has "Day/Night Switch:Day, Night, Auto, Schedule" So, dumb question but I assume this does not have IR lights or IR filter...so what would it be switching to with auto? Without a B&W IR option, should I assume I would have to have...

    Options to avoid Constant motion triggering when an object is stuck in front of camera

    I woke up this morning to a non-stop stream of motion capture clips on my front door cam. It is at ground level so it works great for always seeing faces even with caps or hoodies. Problem of course is a lot of stuff blows by. Last night as an example a leaf came into view then stuck there and...

    PIR Suggestion?

    I've always wondered why Dahua, Hik and the like do not offer cameras with motion AND\or PIR sensors to trigger recording. It seems like PIR would be much more accurate at reducing false triggers from wind,treee limbs, shadows etc. I mean none of my PIR security lights trigger for anything...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    I switched back to 2.0.71 and am happy again. Cleaner more compact look without the giant font and icons...not sure what was going on there... and I have full screen view of cameras back. For all it offers this is an amazing software / app combo. I'm not fond of now having to pay annually to...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    I cannot get the live or the playback in full screen with the new version on my Android. Double tapping makes it a little bigger but still framed by the app in vert and horizontal view. Am I missing how to do full screen or is it no longer available? Also The text and buttons are very large...

    Where do I enable this in BI now? I have not used this since Ver 4 but want to use it so a friend can access and check some cameras. I used to just enter Blue Iris IP lookup my software key#s) Now I get a white web page that says: Your IP: ###.##.##... Enable IP registration in software...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Falsely dropping them to 3.1k dislikes...It was STILL MORE than the measly 2.5k likes at that moment! :thumb::thumbdown: If someone can switch the votes on a supposedly secure voting machine, changing likes is easy. How pathetic the truth would be if the data were left unmolested.

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    @bigredfish Do your cams have SD card slots and do you use them as an additional emergency backup? I could see the NVR potentially getting stolen but climbing the pole to take the cameras themselves much less likely. I also notice everywherehere people recommend the turret style over bullet...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    Just thinking about IP again...can I use a dynamic DNS on NVRs to eliminate the need for a static IP? I need to google more about how that works.

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    That's a much better size and looks like it should handle 2 cameras easily...Also it is POE...so it eliminates the need for a separate POE switch too? Zipstream compression would be like H.265? I don't think we would ever have a need for more than a week of data if even that. Just started...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    Again, great information, thanks! Looks like the SmartPSS is a pretty clean setup and you have the HOA and personal home cameras combined into one view which is nice. I like my BI setup but the NVR setup looks clean and reliable...wish they put it together in a smaller form factor because...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    Thanks, this is all very helpful. The neighborhood is about 125 homes but we have only 2 entry\exit points. Technically gated but the board chooses to leave them open during daytime hours and 24/ during the winter months citing the hassle for school buses, trash, snowplow services etc. if...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    Thanks for all the detailed information. I did not think about the dedicated, (I assume that means the same thing as a "static" IP) address so it never changes. We are lucky to have the internet company providing the two fiber internet connections with no monthly charge, but not sure if they...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    Looks like a pretty slick setup and almost exactly what we'd need to do! I have a string of questions if you don't mind! How tall a pole did you go with? Is the flat object an extra IR light?..needed for being able to get good images or plates at night? You managed to get a modem, router, POE...

    Is there such a thing as a Low voltage or POE powered IR Illuminator?

    What ever happened to @nayr here?? He was all-in and had a lot of good testing and opinion posts for a while...then he just vanished. Did new babies redirect his attention or too much weed finally fry his mind? :p

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    Hi. How often does BI now require paying for the incremental minor version updates? When I had V4 for several years, all the 4.xxx updates were free. Then ver 5 came out which required a new purchase which made sense. I bought it but now it will not allow updates to 5.xxx minor version updates...

    Why I Like Redundant Views/Multiple Cam Views

    Nice write-up and camera setups. I only have 2 views, one is a relatively far overview of my drive and front door but the other one is actually at ground level, a 3.6mm bullet cam pointing UP at the door. Cap, hoodie, I always get a good face shot. No one seems to notice it...kind of looks like...
