    Blue Iris - Clips and archiving set up help

    I believe it's fixed. I deleted all the files from 2019, it was like 520 files. Maybe I didn't have BI set up to delete back then?

    Blue Iris - Clips and archiving set up help

    Yes, sir, Blue Iris in the only thing on the V drive. The New folder is the only one that has anything saved within it... I'm pretty sure I have BI set up to delete after 21 days, BUT there are files in the New folder all the way back from 2019 :confused:

    Thank you very much for this information. Can you please explain a little more about "rebuild the DB"? I really do not know what that means. Also, here's what my V drive is showing.

    I like the look of it... Probably because I mounted a few cameras the same way

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    I read this thread again, and now have a couple more questions if you do not mind, @guykuo. 1. Will the Pre-configured file and OpenVPN configurations you provided work on an EdgeRouter 4? 2. With the set up you provided, will I need to buy more Ubiquity APs and another POE switch just for my...

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    @guykuo, all your time and help with this thread is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! One quick question: with the Pre-configured file you provided, can I use any brand, unmanaged POE switch for LAN 2 Surveillance (ETH2) to connect my BlueIris computer/cameras to, and everything would...

    How to see if any of your smart devices or IP cams are phoning home?

    It may be old news, but I just read how Ubiquiti APs were phoning home after a firmware update. It got me thinking about my network, and are any of my devices phoning home?? I have an ASUS AC2900. My cameras (with static IPs) are blocked from the internet via the router, but I believe I read...

    OpenVPN help

    I didn't think of that... I'm not sure and cannot check right now as I am away from the network. I'm a total noob to this networking stuff, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the DDNS I set up in my router prevent IP changing issues?

    Can someone please educate me on the Dahua Exposure settings? :)

    My question within the exposure settings deal with "Manual" and "Shutter Priority". Basically which one should I use, and please educate me on why they seem to act in the opposite way. Within "Shutter Priority" when I lower the shutter, the picture gets brighter as I believe should happen when...

    Spiders and insects.

    Give this insectside a shot, Talstar P. It has done wonders for me with my insect infestation we were having (our home backs up to a overgrown greenbelt). It’s more of a commercial grade product that can kill/repeal most insects for 60-90 days depending on your location/weather. Where I buy it...

    **Correction** This camera was NOT recording direct to disk on the first video. The second video with the bitrate at 4096 was recorded direct to disk. Sorry about that.

    Yes, sir, I am recording direct to disk... I'll increase the bitrate now; is there anything in particular I should be looking for after I make the change?

    Front door install with video clips

    I drilled a 3/4 inch hole into the mortar of the brick wall to fit the camera's pigtails into the wall. Using a wire pull rod I bought on Amazon made this run somewhat easy... Just some patience and a bit of luck to fish the rod through the 3/4 inch hole, up the wall, and into the attic. Here's...

    Front door install with video clips

    Will do! I’m fixing to head out for a few hours. Later today I’ll try to provide some pictures of the cabling. It really wasn’t that bad; just some sweat, scratched hands, and a bit of determination.

    Front door install with video clips

    Thank you very much for your suggestion. I didn't even think of that -- do you do this through BI or manually by twisting the lens?

    The camera is a 4231F-AS (3.6 mm lens). It's mounted right at 5 feet, 5 inches high from the ground. As always, a special thanks to @aristobrat and everyone else here on the forum that helped with my questions. This was my very first IP cam install and setup, and I could NOT have done...
