So our HOA has about 5 different security cam systems (one at each of our gates) that they have been unable to access for at least 3-years now! I went and took a look at one this morning so see what I can do - and what a mess. We don't have internet access at the gates so if anyone ever wanted...

So I have this 1TB SSD in my Blue Iris machine that has a little over 45,000 'power on hours' which is about 5 years. At one point it was the main SSD of my ESXI Home server before it got retired. My current 'home server' has a 500gb nvme ssd for the OS and some storage. Crystal Disk...

I recently added a Quadro P400 v2 graphics card to my 15-10400 system, and I am struggling over how to set this up. I primarily purchased it to play around with DeepStack and this machine is also my PLEX server and I thought it may help out with that. So normally when I build a computer, I set...

I have been running the original version of the Boobie cam on the front of my house for almost 2 years now. Works great, very pleased but I needed to add a camera in the backyard so I thought I would upgrade to the Boobie Cam v2 (HDBW5441F-AS-E2) and repurpose the v1 cam. Both of these cams...

So I have a DH-SD5A425XA-HNR from Andy, and I wanted to play around with the manual settings at 25x. I tried using the url that I used on my license plated cam which pulls the focus and zoom, but it didn't work http://user:password@192.168.1.111/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=getFocusStatus...

Found it on Backup Blue Iris 5 Settings - Blue Iris. You can manually run it to backup the registry settings or set up task scheduler to run it everyday. More info at that link I posted @Echo off REM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REM...

I recently reinstalled Blue Iris from scratch and I couldn't help but notice a change while viewing alerts. I use Chrome as my web browser and in the old setup, when I hovered my mouse over the alert image along the left side of the screen, the 'preview' of the clip would almost be as big as...

So I have a situation where I would like to install a POE switch outside near our pool equipment and possible run cable for a couple of cameras. My first thought was to use an outdoor enclosure like what I used for my sprinkler system It has an internal outlet and plenty of room to add a...

So I am building a new computer around a Core i5-10400 and a Mini ATX motherboard with the latest 490 chipset. Everything is up and running EXCEPT it will not detect my new WD Purple 12 TB drive.... It shows up in the BIOS (I can even see the model and serial number). I have tried all 4 of...

I downloaded the Windows GUI version - it asks for an activation key, but according to everything I have read, they have decided to make it 'free' but it appears you still need the key. Tried to signup on their servers - doesn't work I though you needed the initial Windows GUI version to tweak...

I currently have a Hik DS-2CD2532F-I that I purchased in 2014 for use at our front door. It has worked well over the years but the picture is not the greatest, especially at night. Like a lot of houses in S Cal, our 'front door' is really off to the side and someone has to walk about 30' from...

I have a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E from Andy that is about 2 months old and from time to time I am seeing a problem with my night time videos. It is kind of hard to explain, but it is almost if there was a 'mask' of some sort that blocks the view, but there are clear spots where previous cars have...

I was wondering what was going to happen when my service subscription ran out at the end of the month, and now I know. Just received this email. $29.95 = no brainer:

Well, I screwed up the pigtail jack on my 5231R-ZE, and it was completely my fault. I was trying out different locations in my backyard, using a premade 50' length of CAT 6, so I was not able to use the weathertight connector that comes with the camera. I am in S Cal, and was not expecting...

I have a couple of these cube cams and the knobs are now cracked (probably from me overtightening them) Does anyone know where to get a replacement part or use something else that will work?

I am thinking about buying a 'IPC-HDW5231R-ZE' to replace an older cam. I realize that the 5231R-ZE comes with a mic, but can you add an external, powered mic - like the Microseven M7WP-MIC? I only see two cables for the cam - ethernet and power...

I have a Hik DS-2CD2532F-I that has been sitting in the morning sun for about 5 years now and I recently noticed some hazing (almost looks like stress cracks) in part of the clear plastic dome. I tried cleaning it, thinking it was condensation or something on the inside and that is when I...

I have the DS-2CD2532F-I mini dome which is currently running the 5.3.0 firmware (build 151016) It is a U.S. camera, but when I go to the Hikvision FTP site, I get confused on which firmware to use I thought this camera fell within the 'raptor' series, so when I navigate to that folder - I...

The last time I looked at my router, I have about 57 devices that access my home network... I have run all the cabling myself and I use a basic 'network cable tester' to check to see if the cable is terminated properly With that many devices, I would feel better if there was a better way to...

Two of my Hik's go 'inactive' for about 5 minutes - right at midnight! They are both 'DS-2CD2042WD-I' and were replacements for a couple of 2032's that failed. My other 2032's are working fine. I never really noticed it before or paid that much attention to them, so I don't know how long this...

I have used the Fing app for some time on my android phone, but I recently discovered if you sign up for a free online account they have a web page that will display all your connected devices and it makes it a lot easier to edit the names, etc Which brings me to their new FingBox which looks...

I tried exporting the configuration files for a couple of my Hikvision cameras and I ran into the weirdest problem First of all, when I export the files (Configuration > Maintenance > Export > Device Parameters) it won't let me add or change the file type. It defaults to the wildcard *.* in...

Nevermind, I got it worked out
