I have two IPC-T54IR-ZE running on a Blue Iris pc. My camera network is on a separate VLAN with no outside access to the internet. Each camera displays the date and time in the same format. With no internet clock for them to connect to I have them set to sync with the PC time. However, after...

So I've got the cameras working fine, but should I be more detailed in the stream profiles in Blue Iris for EmpireTech 5442T-ZE cameras? Right now I have the following: Make: Dahua Model: *Main Stream RTSP Main:(default) Sub:(default) Media/video/RTSP port: 554 Discovery/ONVIF port 8999...

I have a W10 i5-6500 box running BI5. It's been rock solid for a year and I'm just now finding time to tweak settings and get things lined out. Cameras are two EmpireTech 5442T-ZE. I am recording continuously for both cameras. So far so good. I was digging through the menus and changed some...

I have a black 5442T-ZE I got from Empiretech last year as my first camera. After trying out the zoom I now have a good idea of what lenses I need to finish my setup. The house has black siding and the black turret disappears into the exterior. Are fixed lens versions available in black? Or...

I live out of town and have built a brick mailbox with a 1" conduit back to the house. About 250' total from switch to camera. Mailbox is at the end of a road in cul de sac only serving 4 houses. So not a lot of daily traffic. The goal is a camera that has quality image capture with the...

I am gathering pieces for a new Blue Iris install at the office. I would like to set up viewing on two different TVs (lobby & back office) with the traditional grid layout of cameras. This is twofold, to prove to clients in an out the door that we have cameras, and also to allow the back...

I'm fixing to help a friend wire his new home build. He has a combination of ~20 locations to wire. Roughly 10 are pc/tv/wireless AP drops and the other 10 are for IP cameras. I've had good luck with buying premade cables on Amazon in standard 25/50/75/100ft lengths and this is our plan. Are...

I am putting together a 5 camera system at home. Current network is a pfSense firewal > 8 port VLAN capable switch > wifi AP for wireless I plan to use an HP Elitedesk with Blue Iris and am looking to get an 8 port POE switch. I will run a cable from my current VLAN switch to the new POE...

I am looking for a wireless ip camera to use as a baby monitor. We did this many years ago using an app on our phones and I am hoping things are more improved this time around. I have a couple of details. 1. Strongly, strongly prefer a local LAN only model. I do NOT need it to phone out to...
