    Noobie Question about system

    Very simple with blue iris, right-click an open area between the current camera feeds, select add new camera, or add new camera feom the top menu. Enter the config info for the camera - ip, logon, password, camera type etc. Once it connects just change the camera name to something not used, ie...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I had posted a similar issue I was having with one server a couple of weeks ago as its own thread but did not get any hits. I just updated my personal BI server this morning with the latest tools update and am now getting the same XML error on it too. I have removed the program and tools...

    New install of BI tools, this would be probably the sixth box i have run this on. tools works fine except when i attempt to put in a weather station and request a weather update. I have tried 3 different weather station id's, all known working on other systems so definitely not a station...

Looking for something that is going to easily ID a person attempting to get in that side door or walking around the left side of the garage where a...

    what video card?

    got it- dropped live view to 10fps. holds 50-60% now full screen. short of being on the most current version the rest was already done, except service mode- I don't use it, let bi tools handle that since this is live view system and I am not at the site. Thanks!

    needing a decent MP dome camera with BNC/Composite output

    appears the hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS dome does have an onboard bnc "test port" and comes with an 8" test lead. I have one ordered... hopefully this will work.

    needing a decent MP dome camera with BNC/Composite output

    anyone have one they can recommend? doesn't have to be anything special, even a dahua will fly. only need to be megapixel, IP, onvif, and have an analog output that I can connect to an in-wall monitor. This will be within reach of an average height person (front porch), so a bullet will not...

    Experienced with DVR/NVR systems, looking to learn more about BI and benefits..

    as for the analog's I'm running 4ch axis 240q's on two different systems to pull in a total of 6 old analog cameras, BI has a integrated presets for it already. extremely simple / cost effective (used off ebay) setup.

    Compatible USB BNC capture card

    that axis seems to be exactly what i would need. the only question would be frame rate, is it fluid video? one of the eBay posts i looked at stated 6fps, which seems a bit too low. that is good that i can stream to the iris as well, that gives me an idea on someone else's system now.. on a...

    the issue is two of the cameras are an underground run to a detached garage, in a fairly tight pipe. the other is one of those cameras along with another analog are fed into a 7" wall mounted screen in the foyer that gives the ability to press the source button to swithc between the driveway...

    Compatible USB BNC capture card

    I've decided to move away from my 8ch hybrid nvr- 3 2MP cams and 4 analogs have the processor constantly pegged above 95% which is severely limiting its motion detecting ability. that being said i am looking to go the PC route with the Blue Iris software, my only drawback is the dedicated pc i...
