    FIXED - SD49225T Failure - Am I missing Something?

    I have a Dahua OEM PTZ IP Camera SD49225T-Hn which is just over a year old and it has suddenly failed. When it went out, it just quit and Blue Iris shows a blank screen with "No Signal". I've checked that it does have power and the CAT5 connection is clean, but still nothing after cycling...

    Help With "Choppy" Audio

    Hard as I may try I cannot resolve an issue with choppy audio from one camera. I've searched the forum and also came up empty handed. I'm using an SV3C model SD7 wireless PTZ. When viewing/listening via BI, the audio is a worthless "chop chop chop" sound. But when I connect to the camera using...

    Can't Connect to Jennov Mini PTZ Via IP

    So I bought a Jennov mini PTZ IP camera to replace a similar Chinese camera that has been failing. I powered up the camera and plugged it into my router, but couldn't find the IP address. Then I tried SADP, which show my other six cameras but not the new camera. On a whim, I "added: the new...

    CPUUsage Increase x2 ?

    Maybe it's just me? Currently running v5.4.9.18 v64. This and the past version or two have doubled my "idle" CPU usage. I have 8 cameras and the PC typically idles at 15-20% CPU, but the last couple of revs have it at 40 percent or more at idle and ramps up to 70-100% when one or more cameras...

    Clip Preview Size ?

    So in the left hand column of BI is the vertical row of clip previews, a feature I use frequently. At some point during the past year or so, the clip previews changed in size and display. Before the preview was more square, allowing for a larger view of the clip image. Now, the preview is a...

    Help With POE Switch Placement

    I'm helping a friend install an IP camera system consisting of four outdoor cameras. The existing router is indoors, so I am going to make an interface box that will allow a cat5/6 connection to connect to the router from outside. I intended to use an 8 port POE switch for the externally mounted...

    What Am I Doing Wrong With Autocycle?

    So I just read thru a dozen or more threads about autocycle, but still can't get it to work. I'm using the latest rev of BI5 on a win10 PC with six cameras. All else works perfect. In my setup, I have two monitors. One of them has a camera open in a desktop frame and the other monitor shows...

    "Desktop Frame" Not Working

    After years of faithful BI performance, the "open in desktop frame" not longer works as the option is grayed out on the menu. I've searched the forum, hunted thru the sub-menus in BI, re-booted the PC, and on and on, but no can do, the option remains grayed out? Just wondering if anyone has an...

    What do you think it is ?

    So tonight while sitting in front of my PC, I hear an alert from my Dahua speed dome which is mounted above my roof. I took a look at the recorded video, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out what caused this weird flash of light. The Dahua happened to be pointed to my front gate. The...

    SD49225T-HN Speed Dome DC Power Connecctor ??

    I've got a new SD49225T-HN speed dome and will be using a 12VDC power supply. Thing is, I cannot find the size of the dc power connector? I've looked at the installation and ops manuals, and searched here quite a bit, still no joy. Any chance someone knows the spec for the 'male' barrel...

    Dahua SD49225T PTZ Wonky After Upgrade to BI5

    Last night I upgraded to BI5 (great upgrade, extremely smooth install). Sadly, the camera I use the most, a Dahua SD49225T Starlight, has a couple of PTZ issues I cannot figure out. First Issue: In BI4, the PTZ function was "tight" but in BI5 it is "loose" Not sure how else to explain it...

    BI Crashes on Startup

    I've never had an issue with BI, until today. I was attempting to convert/export a video to an AVI file. In doing so, BI crashed. When I attempt to restart BI, it crashes. I rebooted the PC (Win 7, plenty of HD space and RAM), it continues to crash on startup. I've searched the forum, can't...

    BI IR Button and Starlight IR PTZ (SD49225T-HN)??

    Wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the Blue Iris sub-forum, but as my question is Dahua specific...... So I have the SD49225T Starlight and Blue Iris, works fantastic as expected. I find myself more frequently needing to switch off the IR light, but the "button" in BI doesn't...

    BI and Internet Data Caps ??

    I live in a rural area where internet access is limited to DSL or terrestrial based services. I've had AT&T DSL since it became available, around 2007 or so. At that time it had no data cap limits. Last year sometime, AT&T put data caps on their DSL service, and when exceeded charge an extra $10...

    Convert BVR to MP4 and AVI Fails?

    I've got a clip I want to convert for others to see, but the only conversion I can make is to .WMV which has really lousy quality. Trying MP4 or AVI results in a clip with no video, just audio. I've fiddled a bit with the few options, but no go. I'm using a Win7 PC using BI v4.6.2.1. Any...
