Morning all, I have Hikvision and Dahua IP POE cameras, about 7 in total that are about 3 years old. I'm renting my home and need to connect them to an NVR that will provide access via APP to view the cameras. I told the tenants I would recommend some NVRs, are there any that work with both...

I have 3 outdoor dome cameras and two indoor mini dome cameras. I'm planning on renting the home for a few years (ultimately coming back). I'm trying to avoid removing them and patching the wall so i'm looking for some alternative that I can use to cover the cameras when the home is being...

I got my 3TB WD Purple drive installed today, I only have 6 cameras recording direct-to-disc and setting it up and have a few questions: 1) I saw that the DB should be located on the local (C:) drive, will having the DB on the C: and the clips on the WD Purple drive affect performance when...

I'm having trouble increasing the resolution when remoting in to BLUE via IP. Basically, I set one camera up for one user. When I'm testing it on my iPhone and remoting into the camera via IP address, username/password, the video isn't clear (on LTE Data). Is this a limitation off the...

Morning, I have about 6 Hikvision/LTS IP Turrets in a residential setting. I'm using BlueIris as the DVR and have that set up pretty well. I wanted to know about the settings at the actual camera. For example, I've noticed that when I change the setting in Video/Audio > Video Quality > from...

Not sure this is a specific BI issue (may be a setting if so), if not, maybe someone experience this previously or can provide any general guidance. This is what happens on a regular basis recently to one of my cameras. Resetting it works fine for a little while then after a random amount of...

Wanted to get opinions/recommendations on how to save BI recordings in case of a robbery or similar. I'm not looking to go overboard, this is a residential setting, I have about 5-7 cameras and a standalone CPU in the basement. Right now I have it connected to an external drive next to the...

Still having problems with BI service stopping on my stand alone pc. I've been checking on a daily basis and it continues to stop working. What info needed to trouble shoot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I had my 5 Hikvision/LTS cameras set up for a while as I was testing everything. I now moved want to make sure I have them 100% as they are on my standalone computer. Few areas of confusion: I have the CMIP3042 for example, I've noticed some moderate ghosting. I have set the fps to 20 on...

Afternoon all (or I should say Fenderman, since you have helped me with almost all of my issues)... So as you advised, dedicated i5-6500, 8GB RAM, only running BI4, removed AMD video card, have 5 4MP IP Cams and 2 Foscams all recording direct to disk. Seems like it may not be BI4 issue since BI...

I read the web server info didn't quite understand what it meant that BI doesn't need to know the name of your ddns. I have No-Ip running on one of my computers now I want to use it for my BI computer, do I need to do anything special?

Thanks to folks here, namely fenderman, I got my new CPU up and running for the sole purpose of BI4. Migrated my settings and 2minutes up and running! THANKS.... Question, I have about 5 3MP IP cams and 2 Foscams, on my i5-6500 8GB, only running BI the CPU usage is 55% does that sound correct...

Not directly a BI issue, but on my dedicated BI computer, I don't have a monitor, I'm using team-viewer from my main computer when I need to set something up. That said, for some reason I cannot change the display to anything but 640x480, the display adapter is the generic microsoft from 2006...

I'm little confused on how I can just use my Intel HD Graphics vs. AMD Radeon. I just got my new i5 6500 and under display adapters it has AMD RadeonTM R5 340X. From the forums I know Intel HD is better. I went to the intel site and tried to DL the Intel 530 Graphics, but it didn't work. Any...

Evening all, I got my dedicated BI CPU and now I want to switch over. Basically need to put my licensed copy of BI4 on my new CPU and hopefully, easily, transfer all of my cameras and setting over. Is there a guide/101 thread to do this? Any help (@fenderman ;) Is greatly appreciated!

So after reading many posts, I'm still unsure on what system would be best for my situation. I know I don't need more than a i5-6500 w/ 8GB RAM, but not sure on the additional specs that each CPU has, video card, displayport, etc, and if it matters on form factor (mini, reg) Devices: 6-7 POE...

Evening all... I'm getting there in setting up my system and wanted to know if there's a guide or previous thread outlining how to have BI interact with Vera. For example: I set up a specific motion zone on my outdoor camera, what I would like to do is if there is motion in the zone...

I'm trying to export my camera properties in order to clone the camera for another feed. I open properties, click export, and nothing appears to happen. I then try to click OK or CANCEL and I cannot close the camera properties window. I also cannot "X" it out. The feed in the background...
