    Odd problem... Camera can't be accessed by 1 computer in network

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place since I'm positive this is a network problem, but I don't think we have a network page so I figured I ask here in hopes we can figure it out... I have 5 cameras (all hikvision) and all work perfect. I use them with BI and all is accessible...

    artifact here and there

    So I've had this issue for some time now, but always blamed it on the computer I had which I was using for recording (it was a 2nd gen i5 laptop, which couldn't handle this, always running 80% CPU load) so fast forward to today, I finally got a TS140 thinkserver which is a Xeon 1225v3 running...

    Lenovo servers TS140 or TS440??

    Looking at getting one of these. I would want a smaller system like a Lenovo M93p, or maybe a HP Elitedesk 800 G1 but the T140 and T440 seem very affordable (about 300-350 bucks) How would the lenovo T140 handle my setup? I'm running version 4 with 4 hikvisions running at 1080, one geeya 801c...

    alerts for when I'm not home a camera has been activated?

    One feature I love with Blue Iris is that I can be notified when there is motion on one of my cameras via alerts when I'm not home... Does xprotect (GO for me) offer something like this? They have a nice mobile app, but I don't see if it can push motion alerts?

    Blocky/choppy video

    Any ideas what is causing this? It seems to do it on my i5 laptop with 4gb ram windows 7... Freshly formatted with nothing on it too. It doesn't seem to do it on my beast i5 overclocked machine I would say maybe the laptop can't handle the video, but it's really not THAT demanding. I have 3...

    Alerts are only snapshots on new comp

    I just dedicated a core i5 laptop as my BI server (we'll see if a laptop can handle it, doesn't seem like it can) and I imported all my settings from my desktop to it (the reg file) Everything transferred good (from windows 8.1 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit) but for some reason, alerts aren't...

    1 of my cameras won't go ver 15 fps on BI

    I just setup 3 more cameras and 2 of them are hikvision 2032s. I was getting great performance out of it today until I realized one of them dipped in FPS to 15. no matter what I do, I can't get it over 15fps... I've confirmed in hikvision that the fps is set to 25. I also verified that on BI...

    Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood?

    I installed a 2032 for my front door and utilizing it sideways, so I have a long view of my walk path. However it looks sort of funny being sideways with the body of camera being sideways. Especially the hood... is there a way to rotate that stuff, or do I just have to live with a camera...

    What make and break time are you guys using

    I currently have it at 1 and 60 for away and 1 and 10 for home...I don't think i'm benefiting from this the right way. It's not like it records for 60 seconds after trigger correct. It records for *break time* after there is no motion...so if the camera stopped sensing motion, it will stop after...

    Blue iris app w/tasker support for android

    Now how cool would this be... bear with me :) Tasker is an app that automates things and sends commands to your phone... some example would be: when it detects your wifi signal at the house, it can send a command to an app (has to be supported) to turn the AC on, or lights. Or it can give...

    unique settings for night & day?

    Is there a way to set the camera so that I have day and night settings? I'd like to have it so that when the night mode triggers, the WDR changes values, the shutter changes etc etc I think this would be very useful, but I'm afraid there is no such thing.. I figured I ask anyways because maybe...

    2432 IR question

    Seems like the IR on the 2432 wants to turn on when there is sufficient ligthing. I guess it's looking at the overall picture and noticing the kitchen area is too dark and turning it on. I changed the sensitivity from 0 to 7 with no difference... any suggestions so that the IR goes on when it...
