    Severe video blocking and artifacting with Dahua and new i7 Blue Iris server

    Thanks @fenderman and @SouthernYankee. Sorry for the terse reply earlier. Was on mobile. I already have an HDMI dummy plug installed. Had that experience from my previous machine. Problem still persists :(

    Severe video blocking and artifacting with Dahua and new i7 Blue Iris server

    Thanks for the reply. You reminded me I forgot to include a few more details: Problem happens during day and night, even when lighting is good. Definitely more noticeable at night though. The recordings are always great for the first few frames. Pixellation only occurs after a few frames have...

    Severe video blocking and artifacting with Dahua and new i7 Blue Iris server

    Hi ipcam community, I'm tearing my hair out over this issue and hoping someone can help! I feel like I've gone through the entire checklist already, but no matter what, several wired cams are showing really bad artifacting on capturing motion (cars passing by or even people walking). The...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Welcome to the doorbell club! That resolution is interesting. Is it actually a square image? Do you mind sharing a screencap? I noted on the specs there's no mention of a PIR sensor. Can you confirm if there is or isn't one? Thx!

    How to wire Swann doorbell - can POE be cobbled to achieve power

    By the way, i overlooked from your first post the doorbell supports batteries. In this case, it takes DC power for sure. The surefire way then, would be to figure out the battery voltage, match those specs with a power supply, and connect your ethernet to the battery lugs. Otherwise, if you...

    How to wire Swann doorbell - can POE be cobbled to achieve power

    If you don't mind taking a risk and if you're really intent on using cat 5, you can try putting the doorbell on the bench and hooking it up to a 12v DC power supply. If it works, you can just install a DC power supply near your POE switch and use the CAT5 as low voltage wiring hooked up to the...

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    @kcorbin Huh. Interesting indeed. Thanks for the update. I did notice my logs showed similar messages about display change, but I don't know if it's the cause or related in any other way. Yes, this is a headless server, so most of the time it's accessed via RDP. I'll have to see if I might...

    Old DSC Security System - DIY upgrade?

    Correct. The EVL (assuming it's an EVL4) has a header for four wires coming off the board. You simply get your wire and attach to YEL, GRN, Ground (Common), and RED Correct as well. Replacing the battery is pretty straightforward. Just make sure to cut the AC power first. In case your leads...

    Custom home build must haves?

    This will depend on where you are and other factors, but you may want to give solar roof strong consideration. I'm not a tesla fan by any means, but after working out the math, it would have been a little bit cheaper to go with solar roof from the start compared to our fairly recent renovation...

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.... that's my last resort option, but of course I prefer to avoid that if there are other viable alternatives.

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    Thanks @SouthernYankee There aren't any at the time of webserver crash. For instance, it just crashed again within the last 5 minutes. However, the last BI related entry is from 35 minutes ago. There are plenty of events for BI, but those mostly seem to be crashes related to restarting the...

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    No luck. Installed 5.3.2.11 from scratch. Still exhibiting the same problems. Web server crashes just as frequently

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    I'm tearing my hair out on this issue. Glad to at least hear i'm not going crazy! You've PRECISELY described the issue I'm having (except I'm using web and android clients). Hopefully Ken might be able to dig up the cause. I'm extra surprised since I've been on BI since V3 and never seen a...

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    Update: This issue seems to be beyond BI. Here are the things I've verified or tried so far: Downgraded to several different versions of BI5, even known working copies Switched ports. Same result (works for several minutes or even up to an hour, then BI webserver crashes) Traffic served by BI...

    ezviz DB1- OK to use power supply from regular plug socket?

    Agreed. The heat on the DB1s is a major concern. However, I didn't notice any difference running it on AC or DC. They were both equally hot! One of the doorbells is mounted in a location where it's directly exposed to our brutal so cal summer sun and it's survived two summers already. It's been...

    ezviz DB1- OK to use power supply from regular plug socket?

    In my case, I have a 24v dc POE switch. I simply wired the ground and +24vdc leads from the cat6 direct to the doorbell. Polarity doesn't matter on the doorbell. I'm not using any of the power kit pieces.

    ezviz DB1- OK to use power supply from regular plug socket?

    I don't run AC, so I'm afraid I can't speak to your specific situation. However, they can safely run DC all day long. I use poe wiring to run them off 12v or 24v DC. The two units I have are in this configuration running reliably for about a year now

    Blue Iris webserver crashing. How to debug?

    Anyone having this issue? About two days ago, I noticed the webserver in Blue Iris has started crashing regularly, causing remote access (ui3, mobile app) to be unavailable. The only way to remedy the problem is to restart the Blue Iris service. Afterward, the web server runs for a couple of...

    Thanks guys. that's what I figured, just wanted to reconfirm. I'll either flash ONVIF supported firmware or find a different workaround.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Has anyone figured out a way to get port 80 working on the ezviz model doorbells/firmware? Flashing to another firmware is an option, but I'd prefer to stick with the stock one if possible. Thanks!

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    LOL. yeah, the ALP-600 is.... something else. IMOU DB11 appears to be the same based on appearance and specs. IMOU is the consumer-branded division of Dahua, so logically, it should be similar to an OEM DB11. The DB1C looks interesting. Since it's new, I don't know if its in any distribution...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Having used both, I would still go with the hikvision over dahua in this case, even if it weren't the right video orientation. Of course everyone's situation is different, but here are a few reasons for me: In my area, porch pirates are present, so being able to see the floor (packages) is...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    The natural feed for the DB1 is a portrait oriented view. The fisheye lens creates a pinhole or vignette like view where the four corners are blackened out.

    5.3.1 - July 16, 2020 Your Blue Iris web server now is also an RTSP server.

    Had the EXACT same issue with precisely the same setup (LE/nginx). For some reason, it's working now though with no changes to nginx. I did clear the connection settings for the BI mobile app. Maybe that did it.

    dahua screwdriver?

    Yes, they are generally torx bits in various sizes (T5-T15 that I've seen). Sometimes, as @samplenhold mentioned, Dahua includes torx security bits which are hollow in the middle. If you have these screws, make sure you do NOT use a standard non-hollow torx bit as there is high risk of...

    Thanks Andy. Do you have V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605 available for download? @pilotsnipes I have 3 cams on V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430 (also segmented on their own vlan), but i'm not seeing any outgoing connection attempts. Aliyun is China's biggest cloud provider (similar to Amazon AWS), so the...

    Upgrade DSC alarm system to DIY wifi/z-wave

    Your best bet is to go with the envisalink option mentioned earlier. However as stated, you will have to check if your DSC mainboard is compatible. The envisalink integrates with home automation systems such as home assistant or openHAB. From there, you can use your alarm sensors to trigger...

    embedding UI3 parts in a web page?

    @bp2008 thanks for the reference! I've said it before, but i gotta say it again. Love your work! Really appreciate your feedback. I'll use this guidance to see what I can put together. @Kn10 that's a creative solution and I might have to consider it if I can work out what I'm looking for...

    embedding UI3 parts in a web page?

    Yes. My fault for not being clear. I would like to show the live feed first (already got that) and then once a user clicks on the live feed, swap out to the last clip so they can review the latest activity. @Norcal thanks for the tip! I've tried this method, but the view is still very cluttered...
