    Minimised Camera

    Thanks looney, that is wonderful. Worked a treat. Been bugging me for months. And thanks for confirming Andy's cams are genuine too. Ordered another 4 today. The reason I wondered was because when I tried a 5831, it was branded as opposed to unbranded. They do work perfectly. Could anyone...

    Minimised Camera

    Thanks Tony, your right. I got out of that habit because some of my cameras zoom in or out when I do that (see pics for +/- sign). This does not happen on my genuine Dahua camera, just the 5231's from Andy. That got annoying as it messed my focus up. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Minimised Camera

    Hi Guys, Occasionally in BI, when I have a camera full screen and want to return, I click minimise camera. It then disappears totally and I never know how to get it back or where to start. I have tried but no luck finding it. Can someone tell me where I retrieve it from please? Sent from my...

    POE+ Switch Recommendations Please

    No she's not that is for sure. I may have a go but you'r right, I probably won't either. However I may add those separate IR's and I may add a couple of extra camera's further down the line. So I guess your going to be pretty much correct @fenderman, I could just add a second Zyxel later...

    POE+ Switch Recommendations Please

    Thanks Fenderman, I could be running 2xcamera's very long distances (less than 100m) but I suppose that is what the POE+ is for isn't it. Also if I did install PTZ's and I can't be sure I would as I have never had the need, although my mums yard is substantial in area, I can see it may have...

    POE+ Switch Recommendations Please

    Thanks Guys, Just checked that Zyxel. Max output per port is great but with only a total available output of 70w, that particular Zyxel will not power just 6 5231's never mind if I did get some camera's either a long way away or PTZ's. Meanwhile I found this:- Netgear M4100-24G-POE+ It has a...

    POE+ Switch Recommendations Please

    Hi Guys, Well it's been a long time coming but after a nearly 2 year renovation of my Mums new house, I am terminating the CCTV wiring over the next couple of weeks in among the landscaping jobs. I got so into it earlier in the project that I started trialing a dry run setup of the Blue Iris...

    BI Alerts on App

    Hi guys, When I use my BI App a funny thing is happening. If i am looking at the app and there's a red number in the top right hand corner of each camera's alerts which I believe shows the number of alerts since last log in. If I click on it I'm looking at the most recent alert. If I swipe...

    BT Home Hub Replacement

    Hi guys, I hope someone can help. Has anyone used BT Home Hub or swapped one for Asus? I'm trying to set up an Asus for Blue Iris and to set up a VPN. BT don't offer home users "bridge mode" so I'm struggling how to go about it. Then I read tonight Asus could totally replaced the BT Home...

    Blue Roller

    Thanks all, I have just fiddled with all the setting including anti flicker. I have had limited results in as much as I can stop the Blue Shadow lowering my WDR from 50 to 44. This has left me with a bit of a white out by the bags of coal and my step, although this is largely irrelevant as I can...

    Blue Roller

    Thanks Alastair, Yep, I changed the frame rate but with no joy. Correct, it does not happen during the daytime. Correct I have LED downlights (set on movement sensor), you may just be able to see in the overhang at the top of the video. Camera location is fairly new and the particular LED...

    Hi Guys, Please can anybody help me to save me from bothering Andy @EMPIRETECANDY ? If my video uploads, you will see I have a funny blue shadow rolling accross my screen. This is usually showing on the white vertical bars, but today it is showing on right hand white bar and on the bags of...

    Hi Guys, Of my 4 Dahua cameras, I've just noticed the time & camera title are not showing. I am using the Dahua time stamp and it is enabled. So is the title of camera. I did a manual reboot of both the camera and my Blue Iris and checked both for updates too. Has anybody else had this...

    Day/Night profiles with sunrise/sunset times changing

    Thanks guys, sorry fenderman I hadn't seen you previous post. Well I downloaded it and i "add camera", how do I then tell the camera to use the sunrise/sunset time?

    Day/Night profiles with sunrise/sunset times changing

    Well 3 years on folks, I'm dragging this back up. I have exactly the same problem. I do not want to have to adjust each camera for civil twilight. What I really want is a NPT civil twilight clock that relates to my location and which I can point my DAHUA cameras too. Failing that, meanwhile...

    Day/Night profiles with sunrise/sunset times changing

    Hi guys, Right I'm getting pretty good in my Dahua settings and Blue Iris and thngs are going so well that I need to now fine tune DST's to fine tune it. But as the OP suggests, my Duhua Day/Night modes will shift out of sink with Sunrise & Sunset. Has there been any progress on this since the...

    I care, it was a great function that did work. If they have it, why not let us use it.

    Dahua 5231 or 4/6/8231's

    But my original 5231 used to allow the zoom to be set at 1 or 5. So why has this changed I wonder?

    Dahua 5231 or 4/6/8231's

    Thanks guys, I set the cameras up directly using their web service. I cannot tell any difference. Maybe it's improved memory, maybe not. Having a slight problem with Zoom & Focus though. Regards the speed 1, 5, 20, I usually enjoy 5 best as 20 is too much and 1 too little. However there is...

    Dahua 5231 or 4/6/8231's

    Got mine off Andy recently, and just when I'm installing I notice it's encode mode is H.64H. Should I be adjusting to H.265? Any other tips are also welcome:)

    Good Grief, What have I done!

    Thanks fenderman, Yeah that last test was with camera down in the lounge just as with my bench test prior to installing. However I must agree my 12v plug in power supply was not the correct one. But it did not work on poe. Although it had an internal green led with either poe or 12v plug in...
