Wow... that looks interesting but way more than I need and the HOA and/or my neighbors would probably complain about something that big and noticeable anyway.

I wonder if one could you use something like that with a Rain-X type product?

Thank you. If I knew how to easily and quickly make a custom rain shield then I might try that... but at this point I am not sure how to do that. Are you aware of any YouTube videos or web pages that would help with this? Putting the camera under the overhang didn't work for the way I wanted...

Well, I don't want to obstruct any of the camera view. Do you know of a rain shield that would work with a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I ? I have searched for them but didn't see anything that I thought might work. Maybe there is a silicon one that I can wrap around the camera to provide some extra...

Found this: camera and rain!!! Some ideas to try but no real definite answer on whether it's a good idea to use a rain repellent.

Yeah... which is why I'm asking. Maybe I should just leave it as it is? I'm hoping there is something safe and effective though.

I have a sky/weather cam and when it rains some drops form on the lens and it 'disturbs' the image. What is the best way to keep rain drops off the lens? I don't want anything complicated. Is there something simple like Rain-X I could apply on the lens to prevent water droplets from forming &...

That's what I used but it doesn't work at least for me. I get a green streaming status for just a few short seconds then the stream dies... and yes I have audio enabled. Did anyone here actually get it to work?

That was great except it doesn't work. I get a green streaming status for just a few short seconds then the stream dies... and yes I have audio enabled. Did anyone here actually get this to work?

Used the Android BI app just yesterday and it worked fine.

Can't get YouTube live streaming to work either. The stream status turns green on YouTube but only shortly. I have "Enable audio channel" checked in the camera's properties (with IP camera stream).

Anyone got this to work? I tried instructions here (looks like they could be updated): How to Stream an IP camera to Youtube using Blue Iris – usefulramblings Blue Iris kept crashing so I reported it and the latest version fixes the Blue Iris crash problem but I still can't get live streaming...

The long exposure seems to work best at night. Since I am using mine as a sky & weather camera (in day mode so no IR) I think it's worth it using long exposures without WDR... of course I wish WDR was available too. As for documentation, the web interface could have easily made this limitation...

Thanks all! I figured it was something like that... just wanted to make sure there wasn't actually something wrong with the camera (didn't think there was) and to share the image.

I have seen other moving objects leave trails like this with the camera. I have not noticed this on my 2032 cameras but I don't have the exposure set so long (and the FPS rate so low) on those because those are actual security cameras whereas with this one it is more of a sky and weather camera...

My Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD2042WD-I caught this image: http://tetrion.com/skycam/201810250858.jpg Notice the "ghost bird" in the sky. It's pretty cool. But how did this happen? This is a single image grabbed from Blue Iris. Does it have something to do with slow shutter speed (I have shutter speed...

Wow..... I didn't know this was so easy. I came across it reading the documentation when I was trying to learn about live streaming to YouTube. Looks like all I had to do was download wget and use this to fetch the image: wget.exe "http://192.168.X.X:8080/image/skycam?q=90&s=100" -O %origfile%...

I may have discovered the issue after a lot of troubleshooting. It seems that turning on WDR disables the longer exposure times. If you turn off WDR then the longer exposure times become available. Hikvision did a terrible job of conveying this to the user... and it costs me a lot of time to...

Hello, did you ever figure out why you couldn't select a longer exposure time than 1/30 s on your 2042? Thanks! (see https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/cannot-set-exposure-time-to-less-than-1-30-on-hikvision-ds-2cd2042wd-i.27521/ )

At this point I've spent so much time on it and it's working reasonably well that I think I will just wait until Ken (hopefully) adds the feature to run the batch script automatically... unless someone has the exact instructions and scripts needed to what you suggest? I have no idea how to...

My fps is 10 and my minimum selectable shutter speed is still 1/30. Changing fps to 8... still 1/30. Rebooting camera... nope... still 1/30. Changing fps to 2. Still 1/30... so what's going on?

Darn! I have this same question. I just upgraded to a 2042 and am using the camera as a weather cam and the lowest I can choose as well is 1/30s... why???? Did not have this problem with my 2032 camera. This says it should go as low as 1/3...

Great... lastest update is that I heard back from Ken at Blue Iris support and he thinks my idea of launching a batch file after posting an image is a "great idea" and has put it on his implementation list. Until then it looks like what I have now will do (with Task Scheduler running my batch...

Well, change of plans... I've changed the way images are handled. Blue Iris now saves a still to a folder and a batch script runs about every minute (via Windows Task Scheduler) to process the image by reducing the resolution to 1920x1086 and using a JPG quality that keeps the image file size...

1. Can Blue Iris post a camera still image to a URL? Like to a PHP script on another web server where I can do something with the image? 2. Right now I am uploading/posting to an FTP server. There are some size options but I want it to post a 1920x1080 image but that is not an option in the...

No, wasn't doing anything different or charging anything from a USB port. Let me check power usage again... low 80s so it still seems normal. Turning on my 4K monitor makes it go up to ~85 watts but that's what I expected. Oh well... just another mystery. I'll keep an eye on the power usage and...

Well strangely the power usage seems to be back to normal now. Not sure what was going on... CPU and GPU usage looks the same as it was when it was using ~30 watts more. Can something use power or the CPU/GPU without showing up in Task Manager?

I noticed, using my Kill-A-Watt, that my AMD 8350 system running Blue Iris was using ~30 more watts than it used to and the major changes to the system were probably only Blue Iris software updates (to 4.8.1.4 x64) and Windows updates. Anyone know what might have caused this sudden and...

So I guess what I want can't be done?

But it's not a one way street. The monitor can send data back (that's how Windows knows the monitor resolution). Monitors are not as dumb as they used to be. And it's a waste of time to constantly have to minimize and then restore the GUI when I turn off and on the monitor when it could (and...
