    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z. Bought from Amazon. How can I turn off IR leds? Also, on the web browser interface is an Upgrade button. Is it safe to click it or is it going to brick it?

    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    Thank You Sebastian, Wow, I got it, but...I searched, but could not find where to turn off the IR leds. It happens with seniors :( Also, I bought this from Amazon and have previously heard that these Chinese cameras with English language may not be update able. So, I clearly have a button on...

    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    Thank you, great idea. I happen to have a very powerful independent IR emitter on my house wall which is on from dusk to dawn. So all I have to do is to figure out how to disable the dahua's IR; unless you already know that. That cam is IPC-HFW4431R-Z.

    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    Tried everything but spiders won. I am seriously considering to change the bullet cameras to eyeball equivalent cameras. To do this I would need to use a pole mounting system. I have looked at online pictures but am unclear about a few things. My pole is 1 1/2 " PVC. Assuming I can get the...

    No, they just promise to get to it because they are busy. I received an email from them where they said they'll help me in a few days. Below is what they said. I'm just happy they responded and are willing to help. "While our goal is to respond within 24 hours, we often have an email backlog...

    Thanks for the scare. I agree, I was scared too. I have since(your post) almost have a heart attack, but scanned my computer with multiple (about a dozen) anti malware apps and anti virus apps. Found many and fixed(eliminated). I also have good news. Apparently they will help me out. I received...

    I think this has nothing to do with Blue Iris, but may have been done by someone who is MS support consultant who took a temporary control of my computer to try recovering a system update code.

    Blue Iris reverts to evaluation

    I was finally able to get rid of "Evaluation" , by inserting the last code I had. Of course that is what I did once before and it only lasted for 1 day and then reverted to "Evaluation". Also, it still shows Expires 6/3/2020.

    Blue Iris reverts to evaluation

    I posted my dilemma because maybe it has to do with my computer's motherboard being new and different now. The old one died 4 weeks ago and getting a new one took 4 weeks. Since I had no reply to my inquiries since May 2nd, maybe my emails never reached them or their replies never reached me. Do...

    Would you still feel that way if 6 weeks you paid and after 3 emails of no answer you still have no response? I had to assume that maybe the covid19 virus may have shut the company down, or that whoever has the job of replying to such inquiries was temporarily incapacitated.

    Is support@blueirissoftware.com still a good email address? or is it temporarily out? or is this the end of Bi? I was just getting ready to replace my 3 dead hiks with low light Dahuas.

    Thanks, I got it going. I had to use the 3rd code (last one I got), but it says it will expire on 6/3/2020. That has already passed. Is there any way to contact Perspective to get this straightened out?

    Computer locks up, but only after about an hour and only when running Blue Iris

    No, just like superior graphics and 4k resolution. I'm an old geezer! I either need an eye transplant or my 65" 4k resolution monitor. Do you know of any similar graphics card that does not use that much power?

    :mad: Well, all was not well. Computer froze again. As always, I left it sit for an hour or so, got back to it and had o frozen mouse. As always, the whole machine was unresponsive and needed rebooting. This time however it occurred to me that maybe the problem is either the wireless mouse or...
