    received my 2 IPC-HFW8232E-Z cams from Andy

    You're using sensor density to define your FOV which is NOT the right way to approach the problem.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    You're on the right track and probably have a problem with your config file and the certs that is causing it to fail immediately. Check the stunnel log files and it will hopefully be something simple. Use another thread to work out those challenges and you'll get the solution quick enough.

    Best NVR for Me

    Every computer I've used has had a BIOS setting for the power-loss reaction and can be set to power back up after power loss. BI4 can be viewed remotely, and quite nicely at that.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    UI2 or UI3 shouldn't have any impact on https. From what I can infer, BI4 uses some sort of internal home grown web server software. It would be nice if that had https capability but for now we all need to rely on a proxy such as stunnel or nginx to encrypt/decrypt https for us and act as a...

    Best NVR for Me

    Back to your original choice of NVR... Might I suggest you roll your own NVR by purchasing a relatively inexpensive PC (there are more threads than I can count on that topic) and installing Blue Iris? You can get a decent refurb or overstock PC with a modern intel i5 or i7 that would do the...

    How to find my external IP address?

    I'll give you a little bit of the technical details... You only have one publicly visible IP address which your ISP assigns to your modem. All internal devices are given standard 192.168.x.x or 10.10.x.x IP addresses that everyone in the world reuses within their own homes. If you want, you...

    How to find my external IP address?

    You need to research the way home networks use a private network of IP addresses within the home that all share one publicly facing IP address that is usually assigned to your modem. There are ways to punch through the modem and route incoming connection requests to individual devices using...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I'd be careful. I bought some standard USA electrical boxes and the holes did not line up.

    Lens fog

    This was from the first storm I took the shell apart, cleared the lens and put some silicone grease on the gasket. Hope that helps.

    Intel Hardware Acceleration

    Intel Quick Sync Video - Wikipedia QuickSync acceleration was introduced back in the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors and has matured with each version. I'm not sure which specific features that BI relies on were introduced in which iteration. BI does take advantage of QuickSync in...

    POE Switch recommendation (20 ports or more) for a Blue Iris setup

    Those ports are for switch-to-switch communications so if you only have one they are useless. Well maybe not totally useless if you have a fiber connection to your modem.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    @linze Setup one camera at a time because they default to same static IP addresses. Set up one first and either change the IP address or set i tto DHCP.

    Lens fog

    Nearly full screen fog impairing the view. This happened during the first significant rain storm since installation. I actually have saved the video showing the progression of the storm and the water drops & fog developing over the course of the evening. In the morning, almost complete...

    Lens fog

    I've got a brand new 5231r-z turret (well, less than four weeks old) that is ruined now. Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) I'll work with Andy to try to get it replaced but I am worried it might be a trend.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Anyone using these in an outdoor exposed environment and can comment on durability? I have two units that have both failed within three or four rain storms worth of exposure. One fails to boot and the other has internal moisture on the lens.
