    Auto export?

    I see an option for "auto export" - I assume this exports the settings file (.reg). How does it work? I can't find any references to this feature. When I select a folder, it seems to forget it, and nothing shows up in that folder.

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    <<I wonder if the OP can find any other evidence of water having gotten into the area. These POE systems really do need to be kept clean and dry at the connection points.>> There was no evidence of water getting into or near the connection. I had the connection well taped with plastic electrical...

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    fenderman - I replaced the PoE adapter, along with the cat 6 cable from the PoE adapter to the camera and the PoE adapter to the switch. Everything has been replaced except the camera, and when I plug the camera cat 6 into the PoE adapter, the connection LED doesn't turn green, as it does on all...

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    Update: I've cleaned the camera contacts really well and replaced the PoE Injector adapter and cat 6 cable (both from the camera and to the switch). It still doesn't work. At this point, I have to assume that the camera is at fault. I've purchased a replacement camera and will see what happens...

    It's the same AC system.

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    Thanks for the suggestions! It's very strange that I had no problems for 3 years, then twice within a month the corrosion appeared with this camera. I also have 3 other outdoor cameras, and none of those have had a problem for 3+ years. I've ordered DeoxIt and coax seal. In any event, I've...

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    Thanks fenderman for the tip about coax seal - I had forgotten about coax seal (I used to use it 10 years ago). I was using/stretching plastic electrical tape over the junction. Just ordered some - hopefully that should help with corrosion, but I still don't understand how it happened so fast (3...

    Cat 6 cable/connection keeps corroding

    I have a Hikvision bullet camera. It's mounted outdoors under a large overhang and is connected via cat6 cable and a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S PoE Injector Adapter (indoors). It's was working for 3 years, but about a month ago, the camera stopped showing up in Bluiris. I took the camera down and...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks! that helps. I didn't realize you had to refresh the browser each time since the UI changed as I changed the frame size. edit: 1696 x 2000 did the trick!

    Blue Iris UI3

    I stand corrected - I wasn't closing UI3 and re-opening it. When I did that, it looked like the attached.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Sorry, but I don't see any "camera group settings". I did try changing the frame size as bp2008 indicated, but all that did was mess up the aspect ratio - I was pretty sure I put it back to what it was previously (frame size unchecked), but it's smaller now than when I started! The attached...

    Blue Iris UI3

    We may not be understanding each other - the issue isn't with the main interface, but with the new web interface (UI3). FWIW, I don't have that option in the main program (or UI3) where you indicate steps 1 & 2.

    Blue Iris UI3

    The new interface is great - with a landscape monitor, but I view it on a portrait monitor. I have 10 cameras, and they're all crunched into 3 rows in the interface. My monitor displays at 1440 wide by 2560 high. The resulting streams for each camera is quite small. It would be great if I could...

    Camera great during day - awful at night

    I got back up on the ladder and pulled off the dome. The "foam" was more like cardboard - very dense and thin. I pulled it off and made a similar ring out of neoprene, which was thicker. I glued it on with black silicone seal. Now, at night, it's a bit better, but still not good. One of the...

    Camera great during day - awful at night

    The foam ring seems to be the issue. I'll have to climb the ladder again to see if I can re-position it, or maybe replace it with some black foam, if I can find some. Thanks aristobrat & Mr_D - I'll let you know what happens once I get back up to the camera.

    Camera great during day - awful at night

    What foam is inside? I don't remember seeing anything inside the dome that didn't look good. There's a lens/IR unit mounted on a circuit board with a dome over it - I don't remember seeing anything that looked like foam. I don't think It's IR reflection from outside the unit. I replaced this...

    Camera great during day - awful at night

    I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-I. When I first installed it about 2 years ago, it worked great, night and day. at some point, it started to get hazy at night. I recently replaced it with a newer IP cam, and it's fine in the exact same location. I cleaned the older cam inside and out, and...

    Android App icon reference?

    Thanks, but it's confusing, as other cameras don't have the green "A" showing when the camera has been set to "auto".

    Android App icon reference?

    The help file doesn't mention the IR settings - I inadvertently touched the "light bulb" and set the IR mode to "always on", even during the day. I went into the Hikvision configuration page to reset it, but I don't want to have to do that if I touch the lightbulb again.

    Android App icon reference?

    Is there a reference for the BlueIris Android app showing the camera page icons and what they represent?

    What kind of cable is this?

    Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll be returning it.

    What kind of cable is this?

    I purchased a Hikvision Turbo HD (indoor/outdoor IR Turret) camera on eBay. I already have 5 Hikvision IP cameras which I use in BlueIris. I "thought" this was an IP camera - but apparently it isn't. This is described in the docs as an "HD Video Cable". Can somebody shed some light as to what...

    Any way to record a few seconds before the trigger?

    Well, maybe not so fantastic! I didn't look at CPU utilization until you asked the question, but it went from about 17% to 32%! I changed it back to 0 seconds, and the CPU utilization went back down to 17%. FWIW, I have 7 cameras and had set the pre-trigger buffering on 3 of them. P.S., I...

    Any way to record a few seconds before the trigger?

    I have BI to trigger after 1.5 seconds of movement. This helps with moving bushes, etc. But, I sometimes miss the movement that causes the trigger, as the object may move out of the frame by then. Is there any way to tell BI to record a few seconds before the "trigger" occurs?

    Profile setup?

    I have made many changes, including the min object size. I eventually lost the ability to record on the default (profile 1) setting, even though I never changed any of those settings. I now have profile 1 working again, but I'll have to do without the other profiles. My main impetus for wanting...

    Profile setup?

    Update: I re-checked "reset detector..." and saved it, and now it appears to be recording. But, in doing that, I lost my "zones and hot-spot settings". After redoing those, it stopped recording again.

    Profile setup?

    Still doesn't record.
