    Is there any starlight 4MP cameras that are in between the HDW5831R-ZE and the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE that are worth considering? I'm trying to figure out how much space I need in my blue Iris build. I'm concerned that the 8MP camera's are going to use tons of space.

    What are your thoughts on the HDW5831R-ZE vs 5231r-ze? If it stays fairly well lit during the night in those spots i'm going to go for a 5831r-ze, if it's darker i'll probably go with a 5231r-ze.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes my terminology was definitely incorrect. A PTZ is what i was referring to. I'll check out that guide. If i end up going with more fixed cameras...what is the go-to nowadays? The budget was around 500-600 per PTZ and they needed four of them. So i'm assuming their budget...

    Triggers + Preset Question

    Hey, I have a question about Blue Iris and triggers. I have a PTZ camera (SD49225T-HN) that i was hoping to be able to do the following with. I have no idea if this is possible with BI, but i wasn't able to figure it out. If there is a solution for this that would be excellent. PTZ starts on...

    Combine Camera Feeds?

    Ah, yea. I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that the cameras could be in multiple groups. I was looking to combine my "Driveway" group and my "Front Yard" group into a single view. I think this now solves my problem. Thank you.

    Combine Camera Feeds?

    I'm not looking fo them to be in a single stream, just trying to figure out if i can setup a view with multiple groups in it instead of all individual single streams. I'm assuming I can't.

    Combine Camera Feeds?

    Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to take two or more different cameras feeds (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and combine them to make a single camera feed in Blue Iris? I have 3 areas of my home that are covered by cameras, and I'm trying to figure out how to make a view that shows those 3 areas as a...

    Camera Recommendations

    Thanks for the reply. I'd prefer to give them some options for what they do want vs what they were expecting if you think it's unrealistic. What camera would you recommend if they needed to go above their budget? Something like the SD5A445XA-HNR or SD6CE245U-HNI? Your saying either of these 360...

    Hey all, My wife's parents recently bought a second home in Florida and want to get some security cameras. I personally have several Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z, a single IPC-HDW5231R-Z with the PFB203W mount, and a NVR5216-16P-4KS2. I am very happy with them. I know there are now some newer...

    BI5 Android Push Notification Issue

    Hey, I am brand new to BI5 and so far so good...except these push notifications. I can't seem to get any consistency from them. When i do get them, they are extremely delayed, and I've never gotten the thumbnails working. Hopefully I'm missing something simple. I've tried the stuff below. Let me...

    Access Dahua NVR Private LAN for Blue Iris?

    Yea, i have no issues with accessing the cameras through the NVR at all. I was hoping i could access them from my PC using Blue Iris at the same time so i could test Blue Iris out and decide if I want to switch or not. There doesn't seem to be a way (that i know of) that you can do this. Unless...

    Access Dahua NVR Private LAN for Blue Iris?

    I'm currently using a Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 with 8 cameras. The Dahua by default gives the cameras a 10.1.1.x subnet. I'm using pfsense for a router. I'd really like to try out Blue Iris, but don't have a POE switch, and am unable to access these cameras that are using the NVR on the house LAN...

    I was just able to figure it all out...had to upgrade the firmware via USB on the NVR, and re-adjusted focus. Looks much better! Thanks.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have 6 of these cameras (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and two of them are noticeably more blurry than the other 4. I'd like to upgrade the firmware and see if that does anything, but since they go through my NVR (NVR5216-16P-4KS2) I can't seem to connect to them through the "configtool". What are people...

    Hey, I just got my new NVR from EMPIRETECANDY (very quickly i might add). I am trying to upgrade the firmware using the latest bin file from the website and it fails every time. Is there some trick to this that I don't know of? I am putting it on a USB and placing it in upgrade port. It pops up...
