    Reading Camera settings

    Thanks. Will try it. Noted each 'locate/change' in the Wiki was based on being on same LAN, and that's the issue with the different IP address of the camera. I might be able to guess it as the standard IP address is _ . _.0.1 as I changed the 0 to my year of birth in the primary LAN. Believe I...

    Reading Camera settings

    Had running fine with BI on 2 NIC system...then my SSD died. Of course I had no backup as this is a dedicated PC so easy to re-install Windows and BI on the new SSD (Drive C:) as all data is on as separate hard drive (Drive D:). The problem is, BI cannot find the cameras as I probably have to...

    Can't connect to Blue Iris on LAN

    You definitely want INBOUND, but a bigger problem, at least in my experience, is Centurylink. It is great that they provide a "free" cable modem/router. Normally, I only need internet and supply my own cable modem (currently Arris Surfboard S33) and router (Asus), as I don't need phone (no...

    Date/Time issue

    I am really scratching my head on this one as went through the menu and camera properties unable to find anything. It is really two questions, but both time/date related as displayed on the camera monitor screen and impact all 4 Dahua cameras. First Question. Each camera displays a date/time in...

    No cameras showing in Blue Iris (or when troubleshooting SmartPSS)

    GOOD NEWS...THE CAMERAS ARE BACK UP! Appears there was a problem with the Dahau POE Switch not transmitting power. Bought a Netgear GS108PE managed port switch. Running in the most basic and had to set the entire network to 192.168.1.1 configuration as couldn't see them in the .51...

    No cameras showing in Blue Iris (or when troubleshooting SmartPSS)

    Yes, there was no cable connected to that 2nd internet NIC when that IP config was run as the cable, typically connecting the POE switch and cameras (when they worked) was intentionally routed to the to an empty port on the router to take the NIC out of the picture during the troubleshooting...

    No cameras showing in Blue Iris (or when troubleshooting SmartPSS)

    Made the switch...still no cameras. I am guessing power is not getting to the them via the switch. Not showing as an active client on the modem and "Zero devices Found" report on the Config Tool program. 6 clients showing, normally 13 with the other IP setting and modem shows the port with the...

    No cameras showing in Blue Iris (or when troubleshooting SmartPSS)

    I thought I did...or at least 90% of it...in post 3. Until I re-read it, seems I left out the second PC NIC which was 192.168.51.150 (noted later) as I copy/pasted the relevant part of the of ipconfig for the BI computer. It is a solo modem (Arris TM1602) that Spectrum provided for free and...

    No cameras showing in Blue Iris (or when troubleshooting SmartPSS)

    I did realize when typing the above that BI only changed in software, and ran the Config Tool last evening, and again this morning. Also, POE switch is still connected directly to the router rather than the second NIC on the PC. Screenprint of Config Tool. I have used it before to change the...

    Had recent problem with Comcast internet and since the trial was running out switched to Spectrum. (Advantage of having both cable post in my back yard - haggle for new promo or switch to competitor.) Bringing the system back up everything works except the cameras which reflect "no signal" on...

    Drive-thru KFC in Gainsborough fines people driving past

    Understandable, but write a letter to management (better yet, CEO at Corp HQ and copy local management) telling you are a long term shopper going elsewhere. Outline the whole drop-off petrol return issue. They may not even be aware of it. Question how many are doing the same but don’t have the...

    Adding camera to rear

    I noticed that to. I think he meant 25ft, not 25m (approx. 82ft).

    Adding camera to rear

    Currently have 2MP Starlights in other locations - zoom over driveway and 3.6mm on both sides. While one is inside a screen patio, the other two actually turned the IR off and eliminated the moths false alarms. Both exterior are supplemented with solar powered motion detection floods so don't...

    Anyone using IPC-A46 or similar for indoors?

    I noticed the IPC-A46 on Andy's site but literature and reviews is sparse. Likewise searching this forum with "IPC-A46" keyword gave 6 pages of returns...but couldn't find the camera embedded in any discussion. With my outside camera, despite tight zones and motion sensitivity, get so many...

    Dense persons guide to VPN on a Netgear Router

    The other nice thing about VPN's when away, in addition to checking cameras - particularly when getting and email/text alert - you can also bypass local blocks in the region where located. An NFL game (ESPN etc) may not be available for streaming in Europe, but the VPN tells it you are located...

    Dense persons guide to VPN on a Netgear Router

    Good advice going to an outside network to test. While successful at Starbucks, my work office network, and even overseas back to the States, have NEVER been able to connect from the local public library free wifi. Just as a guess, the administrator may be putting a security block on VPNs or at...

    Windows update Bluetooth issue.

    Back up and running! It was really weird. The entire BI interface was just the cameras - no menu/icons, timeline/playback or clips. Attempted to get support from support from BI and their only reply was to "please use the “Email support now” button on the Options page in the software to copy...

    Windows update Bluetooth issue.

    While I use Pro, Windows noted up update ready, reboot, blah, blah blah. After doing the update went to re-launching Blue Iris4. Noticed there wasn't a "Blue Iris" specific program to select. The selections in the Blue Iris folder were "Blue Iris admin" "Blue Iris non-admin" and "Blue Iris...

    System design help needed

    Thanks for the additional info and can understand. I am an MSW with 17 years clinical experience (military and civilian) before I changed careers (wife also medical) so you can see why the initial confusion on HiPAA conflict. Adding to what Mike said, it is really quite simple and you can avoid...

    System design help needed

    The HIPAA stipulation has me scratching my head as virtually anyone viewing/operating the PTZ would not be the provider of care, yet as a consultant within the extended care group, they would still have the same privacy/HIPAA requirements. You may want to run that by your legal team as exactly...

    COMPUTER for BI

    On that we agree. Personally, I never liked Alienware even before they were taken over by Dell. At least I gave him the link to look at the Optiplex, but bottom line, the choice was his.

    Not even CLOSE to being the same exact power, or even the other features which makes the price difference immaterial. 24mp sensor vs a 42mp sensor that was also the first to use Sony's backlit Exmore R technology in a full frame sensor, same technology use in the 1/2.8 sensor Starlights.

    Forget tax credit, as it doesn't have to be a credit which is typically a 100% reduction in taxes. Deductions offset profits and reduce taxes in proportion to the tax rate, or even dropping overall taxes to a lower bracket. Most business reviews their tax liability in the final quarter and...

    COMPUTER for BI

    As a business person, it supports tax management as it becomes a legitimate business expense as the equipment is either deducted 100% in the tax year or depreciated over time. It is not an issue of "HAVE" to but what does competent tax management support offsetting taxable profits. That is one...

    COMPUTER for BI

    Great. One thing I should have mentioned and may want to call and make sure can accomodate. There are 2 almost mandatory add-ons that neither Dell nor anyone else would include or even have available for a build. You want to make sure you can add them aftermarket. 1) a WD Purple (or Seagate...

    quick sync and non-intel onboard graphics card

    Somewhat curious how came about that motherboard, and if bought recently, ability to return. Of course if you bought from a buddy of a buddy used and have some source for a used i3 that you trust, these figures won't apply. As I looked at the motherboard specs on Newegg, noticed the 'sale' price...

    quick sync and non-intel onboard graphics card

    In short...you have the wrong tool for the job. Slapping a i3 on won't initiate Intel Quick Sync as there are no Intel drivers for the video. This board was designed for server use and video requirements are minimal. The integrated graphics and subsequent drivers are Matrox G200 manufactured by...

    COMPUTER for BI

    First of all, get away from the Inspirions and XPS models which are consumer/gaming and loaded. Go into "Desktops for work" and look at the OptiPlex. 3000 series don't have i7, so limit to 5000 and 7000 series. While 19 will be offered in the 5000 series, the dropdown menu to limit processor to...
