    Hikvision Product Comparison

    I think something bad may have happened to the spreadsheet. It looks super broken to me.

    Is this what your thing is supposed to do?

    Why does the Dahua firmware upgrade process suck?

    Dahua, like Hikvision, is an OEM for white label and other distributors and they seem perfectly happy in that role. They don't need to interact with customers directly... so they don't. We use the most reliable sources we have, and Andy is one of those sources. Again it boils down to not...

    How to change from PAL to NTSC?

    I believe it's a choice in the initial menu after a factory reset, alongside the password and other essential settings.

    IPC-5231 Boot Loop

    After four hours with no problems I reinstalled the memory card and closed up the case. I've also powered it via PoE instead of the 12v supply. The issue has returned so I'll try eliminating the memory card. Has anyone seen that cause this sort of behaviour before? I wouldn't know if the...

    IPC-5231 Boot Loop

    Update: I removed the screws from the case but left it nearly shut, changed to a different network cable going to a different port on my switch (no PoE budget issues there), and the issue remained. I reseated the internal connectors I could get to, removed the memory card, and performed another...

    IPC-5231 Boot Loop

    I have a 5231 that I ordered from @EMPIRETECANDY about a year and a half ago, which is stuck in a boot loop. The camera properly pings for about a minute then stops responding. I can't get to the web interface at all now. The issue happens if the camera is powered by PoE or 12VDC (or both and...

    2 cameras on winbook windows based tablet

    Blue Iris has a free trial. You can try it. It probably will not work, the CPU is not likely to be adequate.

    Andy how to get black cameras

    I got a 5231 in black from Andy because he was out of white and the colour didn't matter in my application. In that case there was no need to pay in advance. The PFA130-E mount only came in white so I spray painted mine black and it turned out great. I didn't even bother cleaning it first...

    Can you password protect blueiris for close down

    Instead of hiding the folder, you could sign in as a different user who is not an administrator and does not have write or delete permissions to that folder. Ideally they would open BI via the web interface as a non-administrative user as well. You could set up the PC with kiosking software...

    Stunnel and getting a signed SSL Cert -

    I'm not extremely well versed in stunnel itself but I can certainly provide feedback! I can comment on just the technical content, or if you want pendantics and pickiness I can comment on the video itself :)

    Stunnel and getting a signed SSL Cert -

    I probably should have gotten into the certificate request part. In essence: your web server generates two things, a "private key" and a "certificate request". In a nutshell a certificate says "whoever has the private key which unlocks this certificate is the real owner of example.com". The...

    Stunnel and getting a signed SSL Cert -

    Because your certificate is "self signed", it still works perfectly well to encrypt the HTTPS traffic, but a random web browser doesn't know if it should be trusted or not. Every computer or phone or whatever has a master list of all certificates that it trusts. If a certificate isn't in that...

    Cliff Notes Updates

    Hi all, A search of the Cliff Notes document produces no results for the word "battery", "wireless", "WiFi", etc. Nobody who comes into the forums reads the Cliff Notes/Wiki, and everyone in their first misguided post is pointed that way. It might be helpful to flesh out the first page of the...
