    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    If you're not able to put your cameras on an isolated vlan remove the gateway from their ip address settings. That will keep them off the internet. You could go a step further and put them on a completely separate subnet (192.168.100.X instead of 192.168.1.X for example). Just make sure you...

    Testing out cameras - not sure why the big difference on one of them

    Thanks for the tips. I've adjusted the shutter speed to see how that helps. i know these pictures from the nighttime don't look great but the ones during the day look pretty good. at the default settings i'm able to pause an exported video and read the license plates on passing vehicles...

    Testing out cameras - not sure why the big difference on one of them

    I could raise the settings on the substream but isn't the point of the substream in BI to reduce CPU usage by giving a much lower quality feed but still a good enough feed to detect motion? By design it shouldn't be very good, right?

    Testing out cameras - not sure why the big difference on one of them

    Do they have LEDs? Good question. According to the descriptions for them they do. I'll mess with some settings this evening and see what happens. If I have a chance I'll also move them to an area that's not lit well and see how they do.

    Testing out cameras - not sure why the big difference on one of them

    Well it's a screenshot from Blue Iris which is showing the sub stream of the cameras. i wasn't necessarily going for picture quality when posting it. more curious about the colors. I do appreciate the info you guys have given. I'll read through the notes. Currently in the testing phase of...

    Testing out cameras - not sure why the big difference on one of them

    I'm in the process of testing out 4 different cameras. I have them setup pointing in the same direction. Last night was the first night I had them outside. I'm really impressed by the GW6750 camera. I'm curious if anyone knows why it's in color and more vibrant than the other 3? I've looked...

    Blue iris, why not virtualized?

    I've found that a lot of things can make a difference with how BI performs as a VM. One of the biggest things I did was upgrading the CPU on the host. Jumping from a low-end Xeon to the highest one our Poweredge R710s could handle resulted in a significant reduction in CPU usage and we found...

    Solved - Getting BI camera snapshot without login prompt - possible?

    Right now the following url works but only after you login to the web interface: http://blueirisserver:81/image/Camshortname It displays a nice jpg with all the text overlays. But as I said it requires you to login first. Is there a way to either allow a certain ip address to not need to log...

    4.5.7.2 crashes when jpeg view is used

    Any time a user tries to view the cameras using the jpeg view the console on the server crashes. The console would also crash in Internet Explorer until I installed the new Active X control. This is the event log for the crash: Some of my users get this when trying to get to the login...

    Max rate not saving

    interesting. cpu processing i'm not concerned with as we have quite a bit to spare. but storage space is an issue. i can't adjust the framerate on the cameras because other people want a 30 fps live view. however for reviewing/long term storage purposes 10 fps is sufficient. i would have...

    Max rate not saving

    Thanks. This makes sense. So I dug deeper and found the setting I need. Under the Record tab I adjusted the "Alt/timelapse framerate" setting to 10. Now it seems to be recording at 10fps. Hoping this saves some hard drive space.

    Max rate not saving

    I can change the Max Rate on my cameras (going from 30 to 10) but if I restart Blue Iris the setting resets back to 30. Anyone else experience this problem and been able to fix it?
