    ipcamtalk forum software spontaneously rejecting users’ email

    Posting here because there doesn’t seem to be a forum related to forum issues. About a week ago, I lost posting and attachment viewing privileges because the forum software couldn’t reach or verify (I don’t recall the exact wording of the banner) the email address that I’ve been registered with...

    My best capture

    Back in July. It was fairly early; I had just got my cup of coffee, sat in my recliner, and opened up my Ipad to see what alerts had occurred overnight. The latest one showed this young buck, and the time was “Just now.” That area is visible from a window just behind my recliner, so I turned...

    T5442T-ZE Failure Modes

    Camera in the subject line is a bit over 2 years old. It’s main stream seems to be starting/ stopping, while the sub stream continues to chug along reliably. It’s an outdoor camera, but the connection is indoors. I initially thought it was a switch issue, because I first noticed the problem...

    Pros should do better

    Article describes police search for a woman fraudulently making ATM withdrawals. Pictures aren’t bad, but you‘d think an ATM could have a better image. Also, why doesn’t a drive-up ATM also have a license plate camera...

    Have we lost some AI troubleshooting ability, or is it me?

    BI version 5.7.6.8 CodeProject AI version 2.1.9 When I first started using DeepStack AI with Blue Iris, I recall being able to inspect the details of the AI analysis and see a photo of each frame sent to DeepStack. In the BI version I’m running, when reviewing a cancelled alert, the only photo...

    Dahua Iris Setting Numeric Value-Is it similar to still cameras?

    I’ve searched all over this forum and the net, and haven’t found an answer to my question. Keep in mind, though, that I’m a husband with the ability to look right at the spot where my wife told me she put something and not see it. So, apologies if I should have been able to find a direct answer...

    Nighttime Front vs. Rear Plates- Should I expect better?

    After several incidents in our neighborhood, I decided it’d be better to capture plates of all vehicles passing, rather than those just entering my driveways. The below pic is essentially where I’m at, although the front plates currently look a bit cleaner after I reduced the sharpness. Camera...

    Keeping a BI Pc in cold standby

    Well, after almost a year of uptime, I awoke to find that my BI PC had crashed. I initially suspected a SSD failure, but while poking around I managed to reinstall Windows, reinstall BI, point it to BI reg files backup, and get the system back up and running within 3 hours of discovering the...

    How does an IoT device receive a command from the internet?

    I have done a bunch of searching, but have not found a clear explanation of how a device like a wireless thermostat or a wireless light switch receives a command to change its state. I ask this because I know from general experience that my router firewall does not allow packets from the...

    Is two NIC’s to segregate cams from internet a tin foil hat?

    I have searched a fair bit and not found a satisfactory answer to this question. My router is set to block the cameras from having access to the internet. Wife and I are both retired, so only computer always on our network is the Blue Iris PC. We surf the net using iPads, stream YouTube TV or...

    Recommend an Asus WiFi Mesh system for me

    I’m looking to upgrade from my Netgear router/AP to an ASUS mesh system. House is about 90 feet long, all on one floor, internet enters at one end, and that’s the current modem and router location. Main reason for switching is to get OpenVPN capability for remote access to my Blue Iris box, and...
