Thanks guys.. I bought all these from Andy at King Security .. if that matters... The ONLY issue I have is one of my cameras keeps resetting the date/time back to its default which is 2017 .. Today I logged into the GUI via the IP address and unchecked "automatic reboot" hoping that solves the...

Thanks in advance. In late 2017 I installed 1 HDW5231R ZE and 2 HDW5631R-ZE at our house. Since then I have not done anything to the cameras in terms of flashing firmware etc. All of them run w/ B;ueIris on a dedicated laptop with no problems at all. My question is: After 4 years is there...

I didnt even think about a desktop and it makes sense .. Right now I am running everything on a higher end dedicated laptop. 1 camera is continuous recording the other is motion triggered and both are at higher than recommended frame rates and quality. In the short term, I bought a 1TB seagate...

Thanks in advance. For the last few years I have been running these 2 cameras w/ Blue Iris to a lap top and it has worked out fine but .. I need longer storage retention.. I may upgrade / add a camera or 2 in the future but can not see myself having more than 4. With that in mind, can someone...

Thanks again. This is all about connecting to the Blue Iris web interface.. I am port forwarding, no vpn. Spectrum is the provider but just the modem, I am using EERO for the port forwarding. The confusing part is if I go into safari on my iphone and manually put in ipaddress:89 I get to the...

Sorry more details below I am trying to connect to the BI GUI/login page that I use on my LAN to view cameras from a computer. This works on my home computer but not away from the house. Yes, remote meaning outside of my wifi Outside the App - meant that the app works fine, but , if I am at the...

Hello and thanks. Everything is great but I still cant connect remotely outside of the app. I am using port 89 and it will work on my phone if I type in the ipadress:89 but I have not found a computer yet that I can pull the UI up on. Any thoughts? IF I have to change the port #.. what else...

I think I solved a lot of my problems by cleaning up this laptop and disabling a ton of services as well as windows updates which resets everything..also somewhat followed the wiki settings.. Now from the BI web interface I am CPU 34 MEM 37 Disk 10 FPS14 My last questions are: 1. should I be...

Nothing wifi.. all cameras are POE. Lag shows up on the 6mp camera.. I have been running this way for a year .. just want to fix the problems.

Thank, and yes these are 2 different issues I am having. Using VBR Bitrate 4096 FPS 14 I have substream enabled but not really sure what that is for.. I am using best practices from the WIKI. Is resolution a factor here? I am at 3072*2048 for camera 1 and 1920*1080 for cam 2 --cam 1 is 6mp...

Hello and thanks, Was wondering if I am doing something wrong as I have been reading about performance, etc. for different camera setups. I am using a Lenovo X1 Carbon w/ a 250gb HD running 2 Dahua Starlight cameras. When I log into the Dahua UI I see CPU at 95%, Mem at 88, Disk at 17 and FPS...

Hello and thanks, Hope fully not a dumb question but would like some feedback. Current setup: Blue Iris w/ Dedicated computer HDW 5231z - 2 MP HDW (6 mp version .. dont recall model #) 2 MP is at front door 6 MP is above garage looking back towards front yard I have these on direct 2 disk...

now that you brought up direct to disk I found this nugget.. High CPU Useage on 22 Camera build system I am also lowering frame rate and iframe to 15 What are the negatives of D2D vs other options? I am just looking to have: 1. Close to live remote viewing capabilities 2. High quality...

cpu is at a high 70% Regarding recording... I have Blue Iris DVR option w/ the FLAC audio option checked.. It is not set to direct to disk .. it is set to "reencode with the h264 option selected... Just tested lag times .. the 2mp is approx 15 seconds.. the 6 mp is double that .. Thank you...

New settings: Changed CBR to VBR and adjusted Iframe.. also got rid of watermarks.. Lag time is still there and the 6mp camera is about 15 seconds behind the 2 mp... On a side note... I do not need crystal clear remote viewing but do want to record the best image quality I can get for review...

thanks for that info ... These are the things that are tough to decipher.. the actual dahua help sheet says iframe should be approx 2x frame rate ... I am hoping if I get the Dahua IP settings right, I can then focus on BI to fine tune...

Hello and thanks, Anyone care to share or link what an optimal set up might look like. I have my system (5231 Starlight and a 6mp turret) up and running but have noticed a lag of 10-15 seconds on both cameras. Everything is POE to a dedicated IbmX1 Carbon laptop. the longest run is 30 feet...

Hello and thanks, I have a starlight 2MP HDW 5231and a new 6MP HDW camera setup running blue iris to a local computer. Can someone pls point me in the right direction with regards to what the audio on should be set up as when I go to the IP address of the camera and login? All I get is static...

Hi and thanks, I have a 5231ZE newly mounted above front door. If you are on the street looking at the house, it is above and in the left corner of the entrance/porch on the same wall the door is on. The porch area is covered and is approx 6 feet from front to back, and 7 feet wide... There...

Ive narrowed my choices down to the following due to they are the same form factor and look as the new 5231 starlight I mounted at the front door: ipc-hdw5431r-ze or ipc-hdw5631r-ze Now trying to figure out what the real life comparison of 4 to 6 MP is..

Bingo. Thank you and solved. I was just checking things out and saw the wall option so I picked it. Thanks again!

I have now purchased the bi app and am having the same problems when viewing clips inside the app.. Has to be a setting somewhere but I can't find it..

thanks for the reply fenderman. I am using the webserver only right now.. So if I am on my primary computer and want to watch live view .. I log into the IP address and everything is fine (clips on the left, live view in the big picture...) .. then when I click on a clip (clip view) it zooms...

Hello and thanks, Finally all set up and now testing remote views. I have 2 questions: 1. with regards to triggered alerts -- Am I correct that BI stores these in "chunks" of video? Meaning .. If I have 50 motion alerts in a day, I will end up with 1 large video file with all 50 together? I...

Got my 5231RP-ZE dialed in now with the help of the forum. It sits above my front door with a good view out to the street. I have now wired Cat6 for both corners of my house and want to put 2 more cameras at each end. The house is approx 65 long in the front and these 2 new cameras will go at...

Still playing with the setup and had a few questions: 1. Does the Blue Iris program need to be running all the time to work? (Have to have program open?) 2. I like the WDR setting in the dahua camera IP address login but do not want it set for WDR during the day.. in order to do this .. do i...

I went ahead and ordered standard round off amazon.. just going to cut some channels in the drywall and bury it. Pain in the but but it is what it is. Thanks everyone.

thanks for the offer but not that big of a deal.. Old wire was buried and was in wall to the garage .. new wire will have to go through wall inside and buried in the drywall to the garage .. I bought some good flat cable Cat6 for this. More of a PITA than anything else.

thank you.. can I assume you are familiar with the alert wiring? They call it cat5e in the spec sheets but obviously not .. my wire stripper goes down to 30 gauge and the individual wires slid right through .. I thought Cat 5 was min 26 gauge.. They are twisted pairs.. My challenge now is...
