    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...

    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)

    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...

    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...

    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...

    SmartPSS on client not accessing BI dedicated computer

    After attempting blindly, failing, searching here and watching multiple YouTubes still can not get SmartPSS to actually find the cameras. Please review the attached screenshot and advise what I need to do. For security, I did blur out the final 3 "xxx" of the domains listed, but they represent...

    Dahua camera reset proceedure.

    IMPORTANT: For organizational purposes, this original post will include the first two replies - 1) Intro and Dahua Wiki link, 2) specific to IPC-HDW5231R-Z, and 3) specific to IPC_HDW4231EM-AS. Sometimes it is necessary to reset camera back to factory spec which is the factory default. Examples...

    Problems - Computer? Windows? Switch? Blue Iris/software? Network? guidance requested.

    Currently reboot/resetting the dedicated computer. One of my most difficult builds EVER! Seem like if anything cold go wrong...it would beginning with Microsoft trashing (known problem) the creation of the USB ISO, not seeing the formatted SSD despite showing in BIOS, etc. Finally got up an...

    Dedicated Blue Iris computer network setup

    Just ordered the Dahua 8 port PoE switch, PFS3110-8P-96, and a couple Starlight cameras from Andy. Should obtain the computer next week and be up and running. The question is...how to connect it to the network and have attached a schematic with proposed yellow path and pink path. Which is...

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    While I do have some time, haven't found the deals and when I do, they are 4th generation or older. Since I have enough spare parts, looking at doing a build as essentially all I need is CPU, MB and memory. Currently have 3 cases/PS, 256SSD for OS + Blue Iris, and 4TB WD Purple, monitor...

    NVR noise

    I didn't want to hijack the lengthy thread on the NVR5216 series but based on the photos on that and other threads this Lorex NVR is very similar, and specification wise a twin to the NVR4208 8P with slightly tweaked software/firmware to reflect Lorex rather than Dahua. This has been part of my...

    Camera placement review/suggestions

    Per my other discussion, the Lorex 4 camera system with 60 day return arrives tomorrow which will serve during my 3 week trip and get to know. Also ordering a Dahau 2MP Turret and the 4MP Zoom bullet separately for planning final system and cross comparing. Wiring home with CAT6 and don't want...

    Lorex vs Dahau

    About to pull the trigger on a 4 camera/NVR 'starter' system that can add to later. Ruled out Reolink and Swann - based a lot on what is posted on this forum, but the one that has me most interested in the Lorex HDIP84W (4MP LNB4321B or substitute white LNB4163BW) and NVR (NR9082) for $799 less...

    CAT6 - Shielded or unshielded

    About to purchase IP camera NVR system and while they typically come with CAT5e, if running wire, may as well do CAT6. I need to upgrade my existing computer network runs anyway which I believe were the original CAT5. No problems with the existing 2 network line which are primarily data. In my...
