    Help identifying counterfeit hikvision...

    Does anyone know if this is actually a hikvision? It's definitely not a 2CD2135F-IS as it shows on the label, I know that for sure; but I have no idea where they got this thing to begin with. It was missing the SD card slot (which means no F in the model number) and half the IR LEDs. If i didn't...

    BI iPhone app performance issues, alerts and alerts video playback black screen

    For some reason now whenever I pause the alerts video playback on the iphone app, the screen goes black until I press play again. Previously it would pause and actually increase image quality of the still significantly. Also clicking the alerts button from the main screen hardly ever displays...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    I should have used the terminal too, would have saved some time lol. Ill probly start doing that. Do you know why it seems to take 10 seconds or so to register an "end trigger" event? Does that happen to you too?

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    Ok it appears that regarding inputs it only has 4 possible ones: 1,2,4 and 8. You can set the BI input value to anything you want (between 1 and 15) but your actual input is OR'ed with the binary value set in BI. So if I set my arduino to send a '4', then any binary value with 4 in it will...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    First thing I found out- apparently BI triggers upon receiving the "S01" and stays triggered until I send an "S00". It will literally stay triggered for hours if it only gets the "on". After sending the "off" it takes about 10 seconds to end the triggering, however the "on" trigger happens...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    BTW does anyone know what the Camera DIO thing does or how to get it to work? It doesn't seem to be in the help file.

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    I got it working. It seems restarting the computer works all of the time so far, and then starting BI before the port monitor program. I think the main problem I was having was that with the above code it was only sending 2 bits, so the IF statement was not triggering. I then chenged it to read...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    That's what I would have thought too; depending on the order I open the monitor and/or BI sometimes I cant open the arduino serial window to send test commands, it will say "com port in use". However the one and only time I got it working by accident I did have the monitor open and it did read...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    How do I get BI to open the serial port? I am using a port monitor and BI is not sending anything to the port. My guess is that maybe some other process is using the port, and nothing is getting through, but there's no way to check via BI. I got it working once but do not know how, and I...

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    Great thanks so much. I am familiar with PICs but not with arduino; didn't know it has a built in USB-serial converter.

    ARDUINO & BLUE IRIS SERIAL digital i/o DIO

    Forgive me but does this use a usb cable as alluded to in the graphic, or a serial cable? And does it use "Open DIO device on serial port" or the "Open Sealevel SeaDAC device" setting in BI? Thanks!
