Hi Wittaj, A quick question. This weekend I plan on reconfiguring the storage location like you instructed me to. But my question is because I am still on a limited amount of storage space for the continual use cameras, and the space is getting full would this cause some of the cameras to...

Thanks Wittaj .

Hello, I am running 8 cameras, 4 which are on continuous recording. I would like to save the continual recording cameras to my NAS because it has much more storage space and the other "motion detection" cameras to the internal storage of the server. Is there a way to configure individual...

It seems by the opinions of practically all, Continuous of some kind is the way to go, So thats what I plan on doing. Now my concern is the make and type of cameras I what to purchase to acchieve my goals. I have a been using Reolink cameras for a while now but the seem a little querky from...

I do like the whole idea of recording with continuous+triggers, especially since it is not for all my cameras but just a few that are in areas of interest. And I would only like to get a time period of a 7 day continuous play per cam. Wittaj made a very good point, If something like this...

Hi Wittaj, I really like that idea of continuous+Trigger. I know It sounds a little cheap worrying about storage space but whatever size HD I have I always like to squeeze as much video into it as possible when it comes to my security system. So! Using continuous+trigger will record the...

Hello All, Last night after arriving home form work there where a number of shots fired within 60 feet of my residence. The Police arrived and asked if they can view the footage of my cameras. My cameras have served me well thus far but from time to time because I have them set for motion...

Hi here are some pics of the three cameras I installed. I have played with the settings and some seem ok but nothing great so far. I playes with using the color mode that gave me somewhat of a good picture at night but when day comes they seem a bit off. I set the lenses of each prior to...

Hello, I just installed 3 new Amcrest POE Dome cameras. They appear to be working properly because the picture is very good during the day time, but I am having a hard time configuring them to have a good picture during night time. They are set up at the optimum height of 10 feet but still...

I just renewed my yearly subscription to BlueIris and downloaded the most recent version. Now I donot see any of my alerts being recorded in the database. I use to see a checkmark for each day there was a clip on the calendar to view but now the checkmarks are no longer showing. 'any...

Hello, I am going to replace all my Reolink cameras with Amcrest because I have not heard many inspiring things about Reolink but have about Amcrest. Also I have all my cameras mounted 15 to 20 feet high and have read that they should be no more than 10 feet for best quality? Are Amcrest...

Hello, Formating a new WD 4T purple surveillance hdd. Should I be concerned about which format to use? I formatted it in blocks of 1024 using EXFAT not NTFS, and seems to be working fine. Is this format ok to use? What do you think? Thank you Paul

I have a new security system with a 4 terabyte HHD and a 256 gigabyte M.2 SSD. What would be the best storage configuration for this setup? Can I keep the OS and BI together on the M.2 and use the HDD for both new and stored footage or CAN and should I keep new footage on the M.2? Any help...

Hi, When configuring my Security system does it matter where I do some or most of the configurations? What I am asking is, does the configuration on the cameras web interface like bit rate, frames per second, etc take precedence over Blue Iris or vice versa?

I want to build a new dedicated security system for all my cameras, and want to know what specs I should follow to build a good PC for Blue Iris? Can anyone give me some recommendations on hardware. I also want to know if solid state drives are a good option when it comes to security video...

Thanks for your replys. I need solid dome cameras for anti tampering also, but I was wondering if there are any with audio so I can here what is going on also?

Hello, I have been using Reolink cameras for a while now but from time to time they tend to go out of focuse, offline and just stop working. Are these a good quality camera or should I invest in another brand? I have been hearing alot about Hikvision, dahua, and amcrest. Can anyone please...

Yes, This has happened on both of the SV3C cameras. But all others have been working for years with no Problems.

Hello, I have purchased 2 SV3C POE dome cameras and under a year both cameras infrared lights have failed. For my info, is this brand a good purchase, because I find it weird that both would fail in such a sort time when all my other POE dome cameras have been working consistantly without...

I recently purchased a Synology NAS and would like to have my video footage storded on it. When I remote into my security PC, I do not see the NAS showing in the network locations. (Discovery is on) I have been unable to map the drive to store the video. Can someone give me some advice on...

Can anyone explain to me how I can directly send my camera feeds to Google drive for storage. I recently purchased 2 Terabytes of storage space for this purpose. Storing everything on my computer is kinda useless if someone takes the compute.

I cannot remote access Blue Iris from my mobile phone. I went through the remote access steps in Blue Iris but now one screen continually show the red "X" that it cannot find the IP address. I am including an attachment of the error if anyone can tell me it is now not connecting. Thank you Paul

I'll admit that I am not the best at the settings of these cameras. My main purpose was home security only, not to become a professional at this. That being said, I continually have a problem trying to capture events with a couple of my cameras. Bluntly!, lol, Someone keeps letting there...

Thanks Fenderman, I have never configured a camera for audio input/output, so I am a newbie at this. Do most of these cameras come with a set of good directions to lead on the straight and narrow? P

Hi, Can anyone recommend a POE dome camera with good I/O audio through the Ethernet connection. From time to time I have strangers soliciting or loitering on my property and need to displace them. A good POE dome camera with I/O audio would I think would help, especially when away. Thank you

Will do. What port would you recommend other than 81? Or does it really matter?

I thought I needed to set up both to work. I have done the port forwarding as you can see in the virtual server and trigger pic. When my Blue iris mobile app stops I usually check the UPnP where I usually see that my Blue Iris server is no longer listed. This time I checked my router and seen...
