    Question on exporting clips

    I may be wrong, but I understand the alerts to be something like bookmarks that just link to a certain point within a clip. If my understanding is correct, the alert really has no "start/end" points - just a point. However, I would like to see the functionality you describe and it could...

    Conflict cams between Ipcamviewer and Blue Iris

    I'm not sure which cams you have or what your IpCamViewer setup looks like, but I think I had a similar problem with my new 4MP Hikvision. I solved it by changing the channel number (Ch.#) in IpCamViewer for the 4MP camera. I changed from channel 1 to channel 2. The problem camera was a...

    Xc-2042wdi?

    FYI. I found the 5.3.6 firmware for my XC-2T42WD-I8 here: http://mail.twc.com/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.hikvisioneurope.com%252Fportal%252Findex.php%253Fdir%253DProduct%252520Firmware%252FCameras%252FDS-2CD2X22FWD%25252C2X42FWD%25252C2X52F%252F&hmac=820645112831044f99d11f20a9c41c0e

    Xc-2042wdi?

    I ordered the 2T42WD-I8 4MP EXIR IP Bullet Security Camera 6mm from Nelly's. Before I ordered, I noticed that Nelly's referred to these cameras as "H Series," so I emailed them to ask whether these were truly Hikvision cameras or not. I asked them specifically if the H Series were in the red...

    Using Blue Iris and cURL To Modify Hikvision Camera Image Settings at Dawn and Dusk

    I searched around for several months trying to find a way to automate modifying my Hikvision camera image settings at dawn and dusk. With help from mcx, I was able to find the necessary functionality in Blue Iris. I wrote a procedure at the end of the following thread that details how to use...

    Camera Event Scheduler to Run Program or Execute Script

    I created a 5 step procedure for automating modification of Hikvision camera image settings for dawn and dusk using Blue Iris. I know this procedure is described elsewhere, but I wanted to provide a procedure with specific examples of the necessary configuration. Note 1: This procedure...

    Camera Event Scheduler to Run Program or Execute Script

    MCX. This works perfectly! Its a little convoluted, but it is the best solution I have found for modifying my camera settings at dusk and dawn.

    Camera Event Scheduler to Run Program or Execute Script

    Is anyone aware of any hidden Blue Iris capability that would allow running a program or executing a script relative to dawn and dusk? Something I have wished for in Blue Iris is the ability to run a program or execute a script at dusk and dawn. The camera event scheduler comes pretty close to...

    Did I break this cam? Hik 2032 25mm conversion...

    Setting the DNR this low is a bit of a trade-off. I assume with shutter speed at 1/500 your night images are pretty dark anyway. Based on my experience, you won't notice the noise too much in the nighttime images. Your license captures will be pretty crisp as long as there is enough IR...

    Did I break this cam? Hik 2032 25mm conversion...

    I have recently been dealing with similar ghosting on one of my Hikvision cameras. DNR seems to be the largest contributor to the effect. Try reducing it from 100 to something below 50. I am actually running mine at 20.

    NAS Storage Configuration Problem on 2T42WD-I8

    Thanks alastair. I have been doing a bit of studying. I am trying to configure NAS storage on the 2T42WD-I8 camera for a CIFS/SMB share. That's how the two working 2032 cams are configured. As near as I can tell, the share volume size is not something I can define on the NetGear ReadyShare or...

    NAS Storage Configuration Problem on 2T42WD-I8

    I just purchased a new "H series" 2T42WD-I8 from Nelly's I have been unable to get the NAS storage configuration setup up properly. Nelly's has provided much assistance in getting the camera to provide an acceptable image, but they are unable to help regarding this NAS storage problem. I have...

    Hikvision SADP Tool and Windows 10 Compatability Question

    Thanks fenderman. I found WinPcap_4_1_3.exe in the SADPTool program folder. I ran this install file for WinPcap and all is well. I can now see my cameras in SADP. It is curious to me that WinPcap is not automatically installed when SADP is installed.

    Hikvision SADP Tool and Windows 10 Compatability Question

    I tried installing using Windows 7 compatibility mode. This didn't help either. You mentioned winpcap. I am not sure what it is, but it doesn't show up in my list of installed programs. Is winpcap something I need to install in order for SADP to work?

    Hikvision SADP Tool and Windows 10 Compatability Question

    Thanks gpower. That is the SADP version I am using. Sounds like I will have to dig into this since I can't blame it on Windows 10.

    Hikvision SADP Tool and Windows 10 Compatability Question

    Has anyone successfully used the Hikvision SADP tool with Windows 10? I recently upgraded my OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I'm not sure if it is related to the upgrade, but when I started the SADP tool after the upgrade it didn't detect any of my cameras. I have two Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I...

    Hikvision Live View Problem in Microsoft Edge After Windows 10 Install

    Thanks. You are right, Internet Explorer is still there. I also have Google Chrome installed. Both of these currently work with webcomponents, but I am warned by Chrome that it will soon be unsupported. I am wondering if Hikvision has any plans for a new plug-in that will be supported. I...

    Hikvision Live View Problem in Microsoft Edge After Windows 10 Install

    Any thoughts on the following? I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Windows 10 appears to have a new browser called Microsoft Edge. I am unable to see Live View when opening my Hikvision cams (DS-2CD2032-I 5.3.0) with Microsoft Edge. It keeps requesting me to download and install the...

    Blue Iris Status Signal:Restored

    Solved. I changed the camera I Frame interval as bp2008 suggested. I changed it from 50 to 15. In my case at 10 FPS, I changed the I Frame interval from every 5 seconds to every 1.5 seconds. I have had no Signal:Restored messages on the Blue Iris Status page for almost a day now. I'm not...

    Blue Iris Status Signal:Restored

    Thanks bp2008. I am running Blue Iris with a network cable and gigabit poe switch. There is no wireless involved. I will try increasing the video receive buffer and reducing the I frame interval (one at a time).

    Blue Iris Status Signal:Restored

    fenderman, It happens probably a half dozen times a day for each camera. The restores alternate between cameras and the intervals seem to be random. Thanks for the side note concerning object detect reject, but I have it set that way to reduce false triggers. My lighting situation at night is...

    Blue Iris Status Signal:Restored

    I am getting repeated messages on the Blue Iris Status page. The message is "Signal:restored." I have 2 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I cameras. The messages are being generated for both cameras alternately and at seemingly random intervals. What does the message mean? What do I need to check to...

    Unable to See Graphics in Blue Iris 4 CHM Help File

    OK. I figured out the problem. I'm pretty sure I had deleted browsing history in IE 11 on more than one occasion with no success. I got to looking a little deeper at the browsing history settings and I noticed that the "Disk space to use" for Temporary Internet Files was set to 0. I'm not sure...

    Unable to See Graphics in Blue Iris 4 CHM Help File

    Unable to See Graphics in Blue Iris 4 CHM Help File

    I am able to open the Blue Iris 4 help manual (BlueIris.chm), but I can't see the graphics. All the graphics are represented by an X. The text is all there, but sometimes the text refers to a picture which I can't see. For example, in Getting Started the text says, "When you start Blue Iris...

    Hikvision Overlay

    wxman Speaking to part 2 of your question. I don't think you will be able to get the text to the very bottom of the image. I experimented with a couple of files that can be used to write to the text overlays. The method used to place text in the text overlays includes x,y coordinates for the...
