My friend wants 3 more PTZ cameras (the new PTZ5A4K-25X) for various places. Where he wants them is going to be tough but can be done. How high is too high, and how low is too low? Do you think 12' high is too low? The other question is about the proper mount for one of the PTZ cams and where...

Has anyone used the Dahua PFA150 pole mount? What size pole does it fit? What is the smallest size, and what is the largest size? Thanks.

I'm not looking to break the bank. I don't do this as a career but as a hobby and I'm learning something new every day. I have about 3/4 mile of cat5e and cat6 in my house for my whole house audio, networking, and cameras. I also work at my friend's house doing his networking, out at his shop...

I'm trying to use tripwire with the new GUI in the PTZ5A4K-25X. It won't let me go in any direction I want. If I zigzag, it lets me do that a couple of times, and then I have to go in the direction it wants me to go before I can start a new direction. Do I need to do something special? All the...

I get my alerts in BI. It shows in the column on the left of BI. But when I go to my folder in BI, the alert folder, there are no alerts anymore. There has not been a new alert in the folder for over 5 days. What did I do to screw it up?

I helped a friend set up his Blue Iris and cameras and got them all working well. He is not techie enough to use a VPN or anything like that and just wants to use the WAN route for remote access to his cameras. I had Ui3 set up on my PC at my home and it was working well. Then he decided on a...

I am trying to get the settings of Blue Iris for notifications just right. It is for a guy at his shop. When he is at his shop, there is a lot of movement and notifications. What is the easiest way to shut off notifications when he is out at the shop? Geofence? If so, is there a tutorial for...

I haven't worked with alerts for over 3 years now. I had used them in the past, but it got kind of overwhelming with all the alerts I would get. I am planning on getting them back on, but I am not truly confident doing it again. Where is a good tutorial, or some good literature to look at before...

My camera time is spot on, but when I view it in Blue Iris, it is 2 hours off. What am I doing wrong? This is a new install for someone. I've never had this before. I do have it unhooked from the internet. Could that cause this?

I'm helping a friend who forgot his Microsoft Password to get into his computer. Crazy, but it is what it is. Anyway, it was just installed the other day, and doesn't have anything on it but BI. The problem with that is that we didn't have a chance to do anything to BI. So, if we reinstall...

I have been using BI for many years now, but am just curious about people's storage setups. I have my main C drive and another larger drive for storing my recordings. Would I be better off getting a larger SSD for my C drive, placing my new recordings on that, and then moving my older recordings...

I need to set my IPC-T54IR-ZE-S properly, but it won't zoom in or out for me to test and set it properly. Does anyone know what Video config it should take? Make? Model? And what PTZ setting I should use? I have tried a bunch, but non work. Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out for a PoE switch what these cameras will actually use and what size PoE switch I should get? SD5A425XA-HNR PTZ SD5A425GA-HNR PTZ 2 - IPC-T5442T-EZ 2 - IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 So, a total of 6 cameras plus a Nano station and EAP. Thanks.

I have the PTZ5A4M from Andy, and my PTZ controls stopped working again on my BI. I know it is user error, but what should the proper setting be to get my PTZ cameras to work with PTZ? Should the PTZ/Control be set as a Dahua camera? It has ONVIF (OXML) set right now, but that is not working...

I did a search and found the same question asked, but it ended over a year ago. Since a year has passed, has there been any changes? Is the IPC-T5442T-ZE still the best bang for the buck?

My DH-SD59225U-HNI can't be controlled when I try to run the PTZ controls with BI. When I go into the camera GUI the PTZ controls work fine. What happened? Has anyone experienced that before? I'm sure I must have done something along the line, but really haven't messed with anything that I know of.

My friend wants to put a camera at the far end of his building and up at the top. The building is 20' high, and 320' from the source. The cable run will be around 360 when all things are said and done with the up and down walls etc. What would you do to make this work properly? I have run a lot...

I just got 2 new PTZ5A4M-25X , but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to detect motion and track. I will keep looking for the settings in the meantime and see what I find. Thanks.

My SD5A425XA-HNR ptz controls just stopped working. I can't them to respond at all. No, zoom or pan or anything. What could have happened? Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks.

I am looking for a PTZ cam with as good or better optics as IPC-T5442T-EZ. What recommendations does anyone have for this? Thanks.

I am not sure where I should post this, here since I have dahua cameras or somewhere else? I guess I'll find out. The other day one of the cameras in a setup I did, just quit working. I have tried everything to get it to go, but I'm not sure what I need to do now. I'll explain the setup I have...

I am 900 miles away from home. For the last 2 weeks I have had no problem viewing my cameras on my laptop, and phone. I went into it today, and it would not work. No matter what I do, it won't allow it. I went in remotely into my Bl server, and I went into the web server. I hit the remote...

Instead of using just 1 hdd, I had several hdd that I have to store BI video. Is there a tutorial that I am missing that shows how to do this? I can do it easily with 1 hdd, but am not quite sure of the procedure with more than 1 hdd to go with multiple cameras. I'll keep looking. Thanks.

I'm going to be moving my BI Server to another PC I have. What I'm actually doing is taking my Plex Media Server and upgrading that. I'll be taking the case from the BI Server and buying all new components to beef up my Plex. Well, I'll be taking my BI and moving it to my Plex server and it's...

I'm wondering what I did to start making my alerts come in as just a jpeg. I haven't done anything to my BI, so I'm wondering what is going on. When I go into my phone to view my BI and the alerts, the alerts are now coming in as just a picture instead of a video. I have never had that happen...

I have installed a Blue Iris system for my brother in law. He lives in a rural area and has not had internet for awhile until T-Mobile now came along. He now has internet and wanted to get things up to date on the farm. Well, I've disabled the wifi from Tmobile and am using that as just a...

My SD59225U-HNI PTZ seems to have issues with focus when it is all the way zoomed out. The only way I can get it to focus properly is to zoom in some, and the picture becomes crystal clear like it should. I zoom back out and it won't focus properly. What am I doing wrong, or what is going wrong...

I have never used it but would really like to. I am not sure how the AI tab in the BI Status works. Should there be video in there already, or do I need to put the video in there myself? I use BI a lot, but have never really taken advantage of some of the things it does. I did a search, but...

I don't have a graphics card installed at the moment, but am wondering if people are finding the BI works more efficiently with a graphics card or not. If you are using a card, what card are you using? I'm wanting to upgrade my system, and was wondering if anyone was using a card. Thanks.

I have setup multiple PCs with BI and have learned a great deal about this great software from all the great experts on this forum. My question pertains to the HD setups. I was wondering how most people have setup their HDD or SSD in their PC. Do you have just 1 drive? 2 drives? Where are you...
