    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    I have not read all 30 pages through so I fear repeating this question but I thought I saw somewhere a discussion about how you can only do motion detection on one of the two cameras? Is that correct or can you set both \ either combination of motion detect and\or 24/7 recording using Dahua NVR...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    Thanks Interesting you say that because I literally just DID a rebuild the Win 10 system install from scratch about a month ago. From scratch as in formatted hard drive and started over with the latest image. I've only added BlueMoon, BI and Horizon VMware (one program) since the fresh...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    Forgot to mention I was going to check the logs from the prior post suggestion but don't know how to do that. I deleted the BI instal exe from the download file and the error stopped. No new error in it's place. I guess whatever in Windows was referencing in on startup said, "oh well, I...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    I searched the reg and found 7 entries with "downloads\blueiris " in them (attached)....No idea why the registry needs all these references to a download exe that in theory would never be used but the reg is a mystery to me anyway. How does Windows even operate with this much crap in the...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    The error pops up immediately after rebooting windows and entering my Windows password. Here is a new screen print with the error and other information from the task manager. TM process shows BlueIris 5 installer 32 bit and Error below it. running although it is not set as a service and I have...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    BI itself is not starting at boot. Once the computer boots I still have to launch it manually. But BI is trying something at boot up and throwing the error. It is not causing any issues I can see. I click OK and it goes away. I am just trying to find out what the BI error is about and why...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    Not running it as a service, just however it runs when you install it. Never used the event viewer so not sure what I'd be looking for in there or where. I browsed through Windows log folders but saw nothing referencing BI.

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    Changing the shortcut or going directly to the executable makes no difference. The error message is before the app starts. To be more specific the BI error message occurs on Windows boot up, even though BI does not open and is not set to open or restart on boot up. So it is as if BI is...

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    No just running it however it defaulted when installed. I start it with the shortcut it created which points to: "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\BlueIrisAdmin.exe" I used the Microsoft media creation tool.

    Invalid Command Line error on BI start up after reboot

    I started fresh with new Windows 10 build and BI 5 (latest ver as of today). When I reboot Windows and open BI it pops up an 'Invalid Command Line error' message box. So far I do not see that it causes any issues. I just close it and go on but am of course curious if anyone else has had this...

    Comcast blocking ports for inbound to BI

    Is there an advantage to installing a VPN on your router (assuming your router allows it, My CenturyLink router cannot support one) vs. running VPN on your computer?

    Dahua blank screen for playback from browser

    I'll try SmartPSS then when I get a chance. But can you make all the same adjustments through it as you can going straight to the camera in a web browser?

    Will BI work with Google Nest Hub Max?

    Yeah, no browser. It will integrate with their own NEST doorbell cam but so far I think that may be it. The device seems pretty limited to me. I'm not sure what there is so much hype over these (or echos) unless you have all kinds of home automation for that mfg. I'd prefer a smart Android...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Is there a way to control how much zoom is applied when AI\auto tracking is triggered on any of these AI \ auto track PTZ cameras? With the vehicle drive by for example, the camera goes from full wide, tracks the car then zooms in just a little bit. With 25x capability it probably could have...

    Another Ring Success Story

    You have to input your address in your setup and the neighbor's app I believe figures out Long Lat from that...so just put in an address a block or two away and still get the relevant neighbors app info for your area. Also, other than maybe a special needs situation, why would anyone need a...

    I need ideas, on where to install a camera at the entrance

    If you are asking me? It is a 6mm short Dahua bullet in corridor mode view (have to rotate the barrel 1/4 turn too to get horizontal view again though which is annoying because the sun shade visor thingy is then on the side.) I also have a 5231 doing overview from the garage looking out from...

    I need ideas, on where to install a camera at the entrance

    I took a different approach for the same reason. I set up a bullet cam at ground level looking up. No one seems to notice as it looks pretty much like a landscape light. No problems with ball caps or hoodies obstructing a facial view either. You get a decent close up face shot every time as...

    Ubiquiti Nano M5 Mininum Distance

    This is interesting. I don't know much about these yet but I hear about the M5 a lot and have a couple of maybe dumb questions. Our neighborhood is about to get 1G fiber service. The provider will let us have a few outside ONTs on poles to set up a few public WiFi spots in the subdivision like...

    Dahua DB11doorbell camera caught FedEx

    How far out did he start the package toss? Looks like it was light but still had some good velocity at the door. My UPS guy walks the packages right to the door but then usually does a waste high drop for some reason. Maybe he can no longer bend.

    I'm looking for an IP Cam with 940nm

    I have read for 940 you may need cameras with special ial lense as not all cameras can see or at least not effectively make use of 940. Just what I have read, don't take it as fact though I'd hate to see you buy a good camera that did not work with 940.

    SmartPSS on macOS Catalina

    Hi, maybe a dumb question since I am not familiar with smatpss but does it require you to have an nvr or can you use it directly with Dahua cameras to view or record to my i mac?
