Hello - I have a lot of Dahua cameras with a mix of HDW5231R-Z, HDW5231R-ZE, T5442TM-AS, etc. Wondering if I should get a PTZ camera with zoom, so I could zoom into the crib at night but have the full room during the day. Just wondering if any one has feedback on either a good camera for a baby...

Currently running a Intel Core i7-8700K with 12 Dahua cameras at 1440p. My CPU usage is around 38% and was wondering how Blue Iris did with AMD processors. Because I know they have a hardware accelerated decode related to Intel but wasn't sure how much that mattered. Was trying to reduce the CPU...

I don't have much PTZ functionality with my Dahua cameras but it would be nice to change the IR setting from BI. I am not able to change it on any of them. I have mostly IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras. I did Find/Inspect in BI and it comes back with Generic/ONVIP as the make. I've tried manually...

Anyone know why I can't move or reorganize any of my cameras? I'm on BI4. I obviously Right-Clicked and disabled "Drag Lock." Anytime I left click to move a camera, it just maximizes. I also thought I had a little hand mouse when I was able to move them. It is just an arrow all the time.

I have two managed switches I use for poe on my cameras. Wondering if I should plug my BI computer into a switch or to the router. So having my one switch plug into another switch then into a port in the router. Plus my BI taking another port in the router. Switch -> Switch -> Router BI ->...

I need two cameras for indoors and struggling to find it. One camera is for my family room/kitchen and another in the garage, mounted about 15ft and 10ft high. I wanted something over 1080p, PTZ, night vision or starlight, zoom, and something as stealth as possible. Was looking at a SD1A203T-GN...

I've seen the BI settings sticky with great recommendations but are there recommendations for camera settings? Currently have the attached settings but no idea if they are recommended. Camera is a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE

I have a few IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras but when I go to Find/Inspect, it sets it is: Generic/ONVIP RTSP H.264/H.265/MJPG/MPEG4 Shouldn't it identify as a Dahua camera?

I can use the NACL plugin in Chrome but it does not show video. I can change the settings and save but it does not show live video. BI shows the live video, no problem. I tried IE with the same result, I can edit settings but no live video. Using mostly IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras. I also have an...

I bought a few IPC-HDW5231R-Z from Andy a few years back. Looking to get a few more but looks like different cameras came out. I was looking at the two below but not sure on the difference between them or my original IPC-HDW5231R-Z. I want something equivalent or better. IPC-HDW5231R-ZE...

Trying to power my Dahua camera through POE but also tap off that power to charge a tablet. Are there any splitters that tap off the power versus split the data and power? I was looking at the item below but it looks like it just splits when I need to power two devices...

Trying to put my license plate cameras in my mailbox. Was wondering the best way to get the cable outside to the mailbox. I was thinking I could use basic Cat6 and run it through a PVC pipe under the front lawn to the mailbox. But I didn't know what would happen if that pipe got water in it...

I currently have a IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E but I am at a bad angle to get plates and kind of far. Was wondering if getting IPC-HDW5231R-Z and putting it on my mailbox was a good idea. Looks like everyone puts them on corner of their houses and zooms in. Having a camera on the mailbox just seems like...

Just purchased a IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E from Andy and after a few hours, Blue Iris will have about a 30 second delay on the live feed. If I restart Blue Iris, the camera becomes live again but after a while the camera regains a big lag. Even though the feed is lagging significantly on Blue Iris...

I previously had all my cameras recording to 1x 8TB Purple WD hard drive. I want to record some cameras to different 2x 4TB Red WB hard drives, so I set them up for Aux 1 and Aux 2 under the BI General Settings on Clips and Archiving. Then I went into the settings for some cameras and set...

Currently using a IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 to captured license plates, works great. I need to get capture plates going the opposite way down the street now. Putting up a big bullet style camera in the location I need to isn't ideal. Was wondering if there were any turret style cameras that have great zoom.

I've had Blue Iris running on the system below for over a year: 8600k Windows 10 Pro ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E WD Purple 8TB It randomly started crashing giving the error:

Currently using Action Tiles were I am able to use a stream as a tile on my iPad. I am currently using the link below for a stream: http://BI_IP:BI_PORT/mjpg/Cam_Short_Name/video.mjpg I am noticing my CPU usage on my Blue Iris server increase about 5-10% more per stream when using these URLs...

On the Blue Iris app and in BI I see the red text below. Looks like it is related to my hard drive space? What does it actually mean, I would think it is trying to alert me something since it is red. Then I also started to receive notifications on my phone in the second image. Also, not sure...

I have my Blue Iris computer in my office and it is not hidden. My office is small and difficult to hide, I've thought of everything and there is no where to hide it. I am thinking it should be hidden in case someone breaks in and steals my recording of them. What I want to do is hide my hard...

Putting parts together for a Blue Iris and Plex server and wanted to get the 8700k with an Asus Prime Z370-A. I was looking at motherboards and found that this motherboard didn't support Quick Sync in the comparison data below from Asus's website: ASUS USA Any idea if all the new gen...

Quick question, is it better to have 9 Dahua 1080p@15FPS cameras writing to two purple WD drivers or just have it write to a single 8TB drive? Was leaning toward the 8TB drive, also, any suggestions for hiding the hard drive in case someone broke in and stole my computer. I was thinking about...

I have a two questions and after searching the forum, I couldn't find the answers for my situation. I have 15 2MP cameras at 15-20 FPS that continuously record. My first question was if I should save video to my local SSD that my OS is on, then have it moved to my storage drive after x days or...

I can see license plates in the day time perfectly. The plates are about 20yrds out on a 15 degree angle. I can't see anything at night though, the plates are just too blurry. Tried a few things like putting the Shutter at 1/1000 and 1/2000. I think I have enough light from a street light or...

Does anyone know how I can get a snapshot from my 10 cameras to use on my wall mounted tablet? I don't want to keep the Blue Iris app on 24/7 becuase I use a different smart home software. I could use the link below but it seems to increase my CPU usage by 20% for some reason when I use it...

Would appreciate some help on trying to get license plates at night. I have no problem reading plates during the day but night was impossible to read. So I setup a profile for night and started messing around with some settings. Based on what I read in this forum, I currently have the settings...

Hello - Just purchased the Dahua 2MP Full HD WDR Network IR Starlight Bullet Camera from Andy as Empire Technology. Completely unused, I only turned it on to make sure everything is in perfect working order. Asking $200 shipped.

So I can figure out why BI is d oubling my image after I rotated a camera 90 degrees. I am using the camera for my front door and is much better if I use corridor style. But BI maintains the wide image but just duplicates the 90 degree video side by side. Not sure if that makes since.

My BI app would open to my camera view pretty fast. I updated my iOS today and went into the BI app and now sometimes it will stall on the 'Cameras' view for like 5-10 seconds with no cameras showing. After some time, it will load to my 'All Cameras' view. Not sure why this is happening but it...
