    Using Raspberry Pi B+ / Raspbian to view Blue Iris UI3!

    Anyone have a quick way to make chromium restart when the pi reboots? For instance when you have a power surge etc??

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Yeah, looks good. But, I am really liking the price on the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS he has listed.

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Ohh wow. I glanced right over that because I have the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. Didn't recognize this newer design. I'll need to look into this one.

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    I was looking to get some more HDW-5231 or 4231 from Andy but I don't see them on Amazon. Does that usually mean he is out of stock, or does he use different model numbers on Amazon? On my previous orders I went direct to Andy, but it seems like Amazon may be easier.

    Blue Iris App Sluggish

    If you are on your internal network, just type in the assigned ip address and port you opened for BI. Outside of it, you need your public ip or use a DDNS product to get your browser pointed to the server and log in. There are a bunch of free DDNS solutions that are out there.

    Blue Iris App Sluggish

    No. I have the windows anti-virus on the machine with BI. I think it is Security Essentials?

    Blue Iris App Sluggish

    Since about 2 updates ago, my blue Iris app has been extremely sluggish. It takes quite a bit of time to display the live camera views, and even longer to load up the clip archives. Accessing the web server through Chrome on a computer is very fast, no problems when accessed that way. This...

    Alert When BI Computer is Down

    It have the issue narrowed down to a hardware problem, and it should be corrected soon. However, problems can pop up at anytime and I would like to be able to be notified when the computer running BI is down. This is definitely not a BI problem, just looking for some real world experience on...

    Alert When BI Computer is Down

    Do any of you have a recommendation on a free (or close to free) tool that will monitor the PC that I have BI running on? I have had a couple of occasions where my computer has not come back up from a restart. It is frustrating because I have not been able to pinpoint what is holding up the...

    Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS)

    Yes, I know. I just wanted all of my cameras the same. Maybe a little ocd going on.

    Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS)

    I just got a pair of these from Andy to replace a couple of Swann 825's (Hik 2032) and the difference is incredible. I plan on going with all Dahua starlights in one form or another. The cameras I received from Andy were PAL with a firmware date of 20170907. Currently the most recent firmware...

    Newegg sale on Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I

    Which turret are you guys talking about? I got the 5321, but I don't need sound. Is there a cheaper option with the same sensor that provides that great night vision like the 5321?

    Newegg sale on Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I

    Good point. I didn't think about that. I guess I was thinking the starlights were in the $170 range. Got a link to the dahua starlights you are talking about? I have the 5321 which is probably why I thought the price was higher.

    Swann at Costco

    Thanks for replying Andy. I need the 5231R-Z. Should I just email your for a PayPal invoice like before? What is your current price for those?

    Swann at Costco

    Didn't see your edit Q. I paid $199 for 2 brand new with free shipping. You may be able to return them like fender said.

    Swann at Costco

    Ill probably end up getting some more of the Dahua starlight series. I have the varifocal turret and love it, but I don't think Andy has them in stock now.

    Swann at Costco

    The 2 year warranty, Costco's excellent return policy, free shipping and $99 each price tag was the thing that got me buying the Swann's. I agree that the Dahua is going to be a better all around performer.

    Swann at Costco

    Does anyone know if Costco stopped carrying Swann products? I have ordered the Swann equivalent of the Hik DS-2CD2032-I from them before, but can't find anything Swann on their site at the moment.

    Flashing yellow border

    I don't think that is it, the camera is PTZ, but it hasn't been moved. It is flashing on and off every other second. Did you find that in the help file? I thought I searched every instance of yellow and border, but I didn't see that so who knows what else I am missing.

    Flashing yellow border

    I have a flashing yellow border around one of my cameras in the camera view window. There is no accompanying icon on top to let me know what is going on? Anyone know what this means?

    Different types of WD purple?

    I have had bad experience with Seagate also, which is why I was asking. However, if you look at failure charts being published, WD has some issues also. HGST, which I believe is WD has some good numbers, but they don't make a surveillance drive yet. 2017 Hard Drive Failure Rates - What the...

    Different types of WD purple?

    Anyone had experience with the Skyhawk drives from Seagate? I have been reading some promising reviews on some independent sites, but it is always a little difficult to know how independent they really are.

    "Also BVR" Setting

    I am not sure if this selection changed wording, or is new because I don't seem to remember it. I am running Intel HD Hardware acceleration Yes H.264 in the global settings, and I have Default selected in the individual camera Video tab. What does the "Also BVR" setting do, and should I have it...

    I am away from home and trying to access my cameras to see what hurricane Irma is doing. I must have been not paying attention and I typed the password wrong too many times. Now I am getting a maximum login attempts exceeded. Is there a time limit to retry from my IP address, or do I have to...
