    I am using continuous recording on all cameras, but have gaps in my timeline?

    I JUST updated to 5.6.0.6 to see if it would address the problem. I won't know for some time I guess. I was running on the most recent version prior to that. Thanks for letting me know.

    I am using continuous recording on all cameras, but have gaps in my timeline?

    I have this happening now too. I have three cameras, two of them have clones to separate out clip recording to a separate folder. Everything was recording fine. Now I have somewhat frequent gaps in my timeline. Of precisely one hour, which is what I have my clip length set for. The clips...

    Problems with Geofencing setup in Blueiris 5

    Could you elaborate further? I have a pretty simple setup. I have two profiles - only because on one, I want an alert sent (SMS) if one camera detects motion if I'm out of the geofence. I have no schedules running. So I'm confused as to why I must use hold in the geofence routine... It does...

    VLC rtsp not working...

    I think I just figured it out... "In Input & Codecs Settings, in the Network area, change the Live555 stream transport option from HTTP (default) to RTP over RTSP (TCP). " And I changed the caching to 1200ms. Thanks!!!

    VLC rtsp not working...

    So I'm trying to get rtsp working, and testing with VLC... I seem to be able to connect, but there's basically garbage coming through. The basics of the image come through - kind of like a chalk sketch? But it's NOWHERE near a real stream. And it's not really updating the screen... Any...

    Thoughts on NVR, Blue Iris, and a loud computer

    Thank you. 1) Was not aware of the BI/AMD complexities. Too late now :) 2) I may end up doing that. 3) Only 2 cameras, one 3MP and one 4MP. Running licensed version, will enable direct to disk... 4) I was thinking of buying a NUC and throwing it in another room. The only issue though is...

    Thoughts on NVR, Blue Iris, and a loud computer

    Ok so I just built a "supersystem". A Threadripper 1950x with 64GB of RAM and a 2TB 960 Pro SSD. It's my all-purpose system that I knew would run Blue Iris easily in the background. My 7 year old i7 ran it fine, with only two cameras, motion detection (triggered recording only). Well on my...

    Continuous AND Motion Trigger setting Question

    Well I want video clips to show up on the right pane... I assumed that would just write snapshot jpgs?

    Continuous AND Motion Trigger setting Question

    Can anyone help clarify here? I set continuous - and sure it records.... But even when triggered, no clips "stack up" on the right hand side of the screen... There's no way for me to easily go look and browse through the motion events that should have triggered. If I set to trigger only...

    MPX vs IP?

    Ok thank you :)

    MPX vs IP?

    Hey everyone... I just had a friend get a quote for a video system for his moderately sized building... (15 cameras between inside and out) It's a new installation, yet they quoted MPX instead of IP. Any thoughts as to why? I really assumed IP was the future and the way to go...?

    Power supply connector size

    You know what, I do agree with you. That said - I am absolutely doing what is right for me. Why? Because I rent. I'll be here 2-4 years more at most. I have ethernet running all throughout my apartment - ran it myself. I hate wireless. All these damn cable commercials bragging about home...

    Power supply connector size

    I prefer turrets. The dome is because I wanted wifi, 3mp, and POE. I plan not to use POE, but like the flexibility of re-purposing it later. I couldn't use a bullet as the place this will be (garage) will have spiders unfortunately. In the end if I can't get wifi to work, I'll come up with a...

    Power supply connector size

    Yes, I know. I am deliberately doing everything I can to stick with wifi direct to the camera deliberately.

    Power supply connector size

    I need to use wifi. Very special case - my main front door camera is POE turret.

    Power supply connector size

    Hello everyone, I just purchased a IPC-HDBW1320E-W and I need to buy a power supply for it. (Or should I say I might need, I have a 12v power supply or two around) Anyway - while I'm awaiting it, I want to see if I need to purchase a PS or not. Does anyone have a Dahua dome that they can...

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    Good advice on the ground plane... At this point I'm going to try to just go straight to wireless. The distance is about 50 feet... I can't run a wire (I rent and won't be here that much longer) (I do MAC level security on my router - although from what I learned later, that's relatively...

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    So would I just buy two locoM5's to do P2P then? (If I had to go that way...) Thanks :)

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    With my router transmit power set to medium, I do have signal inside my garage. My plan is to try to do wifi, and if that doesn't work I can get a bridge. Forgive me - while I'm a pretty competent person in technology overall, I've been paying absolutely no attention to airmax stuff, etc...

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    Yeah I could easily do a lot of the hack projects out there - I'd more likely buy one of the chamberlin products though in that it would be a nice, fully designed system... Reliable, wouldn't have problems with one of my wires coming loose, etc... The cost difference is significant ($100) but...

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    Hey everyone :) I'm looking to add an IP camera to my detached garage to monitor the status of the garage door. (I could live with a garage door monitor device but the one I have SUCKS and none of them actually rate better than it on Amazon) So the resolution is unimportant - actually a lower...

    Where are the sounds??? (IPhone app)

    I found the problem :) My phone is paired to a bluetooth audio receiver which happens to be close enough so it was sending ALL audio to that :) Thank you for taking the time to try to help me! :)

    Where are the sounds??? (IPhone app)

    Update: It's working now on my iPad. My iPhone is not producing the sound though. Peculiar. (And the iPad sound is changing properly with the sound configuration within the BI windows application) Hmm, wonder what's going on here :)

    Where are the sounds??? (IPhone app)

    In the iOS app, in the main settings page, there is no push notification alert settings. If I select the camera itself, I get a "Front Door settings" page... The five "radio button" type options are: - Schedule - Motion Sensor - PTZ preset cycle - PTZ event schedule - Push notifications then...

    Where are the sounds??? (IPhone app)

    In the BI iOS app... There is a Background Audio option and an "in app alert" option. Both are turned on. I can't find any other relevant settings in the iOS app. I can find nothing within the iOS Settings app (for either notifications or sounds).. Other than to enable notification sounds...

    Where are the sounds??? (IPhone app)

    I just bought BI and the mobile app. I have it working as I want, other than the push alerts - even when I configure a specific sound in the BI windows software... I do not get anything other than the visual alert on my phone. So unless I'm actually looking at my phone, I'd have no indication...

    Keeping time set on Dahua?

    I just confirmed - while the web UI seems to be the only place to set the time, it does indeed set the clock from the camera. I set the server to my PC's ip address (after enabling ntp)... Shut down the web UI, changed the time on my pc... And I saw the updated time on my ipad viewer within...

    Keeping time set on Dahua?

    Ok yes I did actually find that earlier and set it up, I forgot about that. Does that only function when the web UI is running though? (Meaning if I was using Blue Iris or some other PC based NVR, would the camera still be updating time regularly?) Thanks :)

    Keeping time set on Dahua?

    Hey folks. In the config tool it lets you (seemingly) do a timeset (one-time) to your PC clock (which likely is set to an NTP source). However I can't quite tell how to keep my new 4MP turret sync'ed to any master clock to prevent drift over time. Am I missing something? On a cheaper camera...

    Got my Dahua 4MP IPC-HDBW4421R-AS 2.8mm

    No I meant the red and really noticeable spot within the IR illuminator circle. i really think it's just the IR illuminator that has a strong visible spectrum component. Kind of disappointing. There's absolutely no discretion with it - clearly visible at a good distance I think. I was...
