Good morning friends. Hope everyone is well. I have been running into something recently and finally decided to post about it here. For the last few weeks I've noticed every once in a while, seemingly at random, one of my ten cameras will drop off with presenting me its regular feed. Instead...

Hi friends. I have BI rigged up to a 6TB Purple. All is well, no issues, etc. I was digging through some old towers I have (I have entirely too many old shells) and found a 4TB Purple in one of them. I think it was a longer term test I was doing of a different VMS system at one point. I figured...

Hi all. I'm having a bit of an issue with remoting in to my setup. I have a web server at home which also runs DDNS so I have a domain to hit my home network. I have an L2TP VPN set up through my Unifi USG, which works, and while I understand the VPN is more secure there are times I prefer to...

Hi friends. I'm continuing to tinker with my new Blue Iris setup and have spotted something interesting. A few of my cameras on my 5 outdoor/3 indoor camera setup seem to consistently have yellow borders coming up on the feeds. I dug around this forum, Reddit, and the help file, and came up with...

Hi friends. I've spent the night tinkering with the official Android app and UI3 on a few Android devices. I'm noticing some behaviors that I wanted to kick around on here in case anybody has any ideas or insight. I enabled audio on 3 of my indoor cameras that act as baby monitors for the...

Hi friends. It's been a while since I had the time to sit down and branch out a bit to test different VMS's so I've been putting some time into doing that recently just to see what's changed and how updates have progressed over the last year or two. On the bench this week is a Dell rig with...

Hi friends. A while back I made my first AliExpress purchase -- a Dahua ipc-hdbw1320e. It did well for a few months but at random this morning, stopped responding to my VMS - Bluecherry. I fired up VLC, MPV, etc., but nothing could get a lock on the RTSP path. So, I went outside, pulled the...

Hi friends. I'm trying to wrap my brain around whether or not this will work in the way I'd like it to. I'm currently running 6 cameras and a 24 port gig switch, but all cameras are on POE injectors. It was a free option at the time as I already had them, so I ran with it temporarily. Being...

Hi friends. Before purchasing several of these EyeSurv cameras, I started with just one, just to see how it worked with Bluecherry (my NVR software) and how it in general worked. I was comparing the feeds of my Vivotek vs that of the EyeSurv I installed today. In both of these pictures, all...

Hi friends. I'm eyeing up a few of these cameras. I ordered one to start with to get a feel for how it'll work and I'm pretty happy with it, so I think I'm going to go ahead with 1-2 more. There's one thing I'm questioning a little bit, and that's the way these cameras mount. I only have...

(I just realized I posted to the NVR/DVR/Computer section. This post feels more appropriate in the IP camera section. My apologies!) Hello friends. I am running 4 cameras on an Ubuntu Server running Bluecherry. Bluecherry has been problem free for me for a while now, but I noticed one of my two...

...or not. I'm kind of looking for the 2c of folks who may have used this system as well as those out there who are more experienced with CCTV stuff than I am (which I have no doubt is a large portion of this forum's userbase). My in laws want cameras. I have cameras at my house. They asked me...

Hello friends. I'm currently shopping around for my in-laws who are interested in a few cameras for their house. They liked the setup I have, which has a mixture of Vivotek and Hikvision coupled with a Linux server running Bluecherry for the NVR. It's worked out very well for me. Once they asked...

Hi friends. I'm looking to upgrade/replace one (maybe both) of the current cameras I have for my two daughters (8 mos and 2 yrs). Currently I have a Foscam 8910 and 9821. The 9821 I just bought a few days ago. It's... fine. I mean, it operates well and hasn't given me any issues. That said, the...

Hi there, friends. Just joined here -- figured it was time given a huge magnitude of my search results came back to this forum. So yeah, hi. :) I have what I feel is a unique circumstance, though maybe not, I guess we'll find out. I work in IT and have been using Linux for several years...
