Hi all, happy Friday! I have a strange issue with the PC I use exclusively for BI. It is not the most modern (Intel I7-6700, 16GB RAM, PCI-E Coral TPU), but copes with BI and 4 cameras fine. The issue is that, every few days, the PC just becomes inaccessible - won't wake up the attached...

Hi all, I ordered a couple of cameras from Andy (great price and exceptionally fast shipping to UK, thanks @EMPIRETECANDY!!), one of which is a 3.6mm IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED. Now installed and just trying to get settings right for the best colour night vision... Our rear garden has some light from...

Hi all, I would like to upgrade one of my 2MP cameras (IPC-HDW2231T) to an 8MP Turret, but would like to retain the excellent low-light capability, so understand I need a 1/1.2” sensor. Based on reading here, I’ve narrowed the search down to 2 cameras: EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T Annke NC800...

Hi, just wondering if the coronavirus outbreak in China will affect shipping and delivery times? Thanks Andy

I have a few of the cheaper Dahua IPC-T2431T-AS 4MP and think they perform fine. They are currently on offer with Andy for £65. I am looking for something with a little better low light performance, and was considering the IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP @ £129, although I read the review on here that...

Hi all, Have recently set up a new BI computer and 4 Dahua cams (via Andy) for my parents. Doing most of the setup and fine tuning by teamviewer, as they’re in Ireland and I’m in England. All cams are set to record continuously, but also set to be triggered by motion. There have been a few...

Hi all, and happy new year. I have a 5mp Hikvision turret 2CD2355FWD set up with blue iris 5. However, my recordings seem to be jerky whenever there is movement, even during the day (also happens at night). Please see the raw footage at the following Google Drive link: (I wasn’t sure how to...

Hi all, I am currently using a Hikvision DS-2CD2355FWD 5mp turret to look over our two cars. Only feasible placement of the camera was on the soffit of garage, only 6ft from front of cars when parked, so using a 2.8mm Lens at the highest resolution. Daytime performance is very good, as shown by...

Hi all, Greetings from the UK. :) I have a very simple setup for home security - two Wansview W2 bullet cameras connected to Blue iris software running on an old PC. Has worked fine, and picture quality is brilliant in daylight (see attached) and at night, but I am having terrible trouble...

Someone's bought me a Canary as an early Christmas present. I would like to know if it's possible to get it to work with Blue Iris, so I can record footage from it rather than pay the £7.99/mth for a subscription. Alternatively, as it's from amazon, I can return it for a video doorbell...

Hi all, I posted this in the Blue Iris section, but in reality I don't think it's a BI problem, it's hardware/network related. I spent an eye-watering £19 :lol: on this cheap "Spy Cam" to allow me to keep an eye on the dogs whilst I am at work: It is an AOBO HC001...

Hi all, I spent an eye-watering £19 :lol: on this cheap "Spy Cam" to allow me to keep an eye on the dogs whilst I am at work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072J7TCQ3/ For what it is, it works great, out of the box it creates its own WiFi network, which you connect to via phone app, into that...

Hi all, New BI user alert! I have a relatively simple home surveillance setup - 2 Cams and Blue Iris (full edition) is running on a Dell OptiPlex i3-2120, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD system drive, 2TB storage drive Cams: 1x Wansview W2, set to record continuously at 1920x1080 @ 25fps (direct to disk)...
