Thanks actran. You are correct that this is my preference to only access one system, especially when traveling. I have been using the amcrest and they seem tough to beat for the price... Still interested in other suggestions if any

I have a number of good outdoor permanently mounted POE cameras connected to my Blue Iris system. However, when we travel, I like to use some cameras in various locations of the house to keep an eye on the place and have eyes in case of a problem. To do this, I have used a few older Foscam Wifi...

Done 1 and 2 (In Camera configure setting check the box "Get ONVIF triggers". & Hit Find/Inspect on the camera setting to pull the coding for the triggers.). Thanks! Where do you find Motion Settings to do "Go into Motion Setting and select the "Cameras digital input" box " Still not getting...

These settings are all in Blue Iris, not on the Dahua setting page. Right? I can't find them. Do you mind telling me in which menus I can find them. Thanks a lot

Thanks Wittaj for this. Very helpful. Still working on tweaking quite a few things and learning. I have just added my cam to my Blue Iris install. It seems to be working ok except I don't know how to trigger Blue Iris with IVS alerts from camera. My other cameras are triggered within Blue Iris...

I have received my SD49225 from Andy with the auto tracking firmware. Finally have time to unbox it and install it (both physically and on my Blue Iris). It has been a couple of years since I have installed new cameras. On top of it, this one has new (great) features including of course...

Thanks @bigredfish. Appreciate the help here. Ideally not only cameras but also how you set it up for power and internet connection.

Hey @bigredfish any change since that useful post a couple of years ago? On a cul de sac and interesting in coming up with a similar solution for our neighborhood. Maybe one regular camera and one LPR. not sure we would have access to power nor resident internet. Would ideally need a self...

It looks like it is only for Android, not iPhone. Is it right? Alternatives?

Is there a way to force the Blue Iris iPhone app to start the VPN when you click on the iPhone BI icon? That sounds like a useful and basic option? If not, is there a way to program a "macro" that would start the VPN (OpenVPN) then start the Blue Iris mobile app? I would think an option in BI...

Did not see a setting for that in the OpenVPN app for iPhone

Thanks Nayr for these great directions. One thing I can't find though. I use Blue Iris to connect to my cameras from my iPhone and it is great. Right now via port forwarding, it is immediate. going forward, I will use a VPN but I don't want any lag when I click on my Blue Iris icon nor do I...

It is adjustable in Blue Iris. Via regular PTZ interface. Works fine.

Thanks to the great content of this forum, i have a pretty good coverage of the perimeter of the house. And i love my Blue Iris. However, i would like to have a few cheap indoor "portable" wifi cameras (ideally PTZ) that i could move around and install on a shelf when out of town for a few...

It is actually premade cable although it may have been damaged during recent house wash... I will probably cut RJ45 and reterminate to see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

Something strange happening. I have tried two different splitters with the same outcome: - the camera powers on and I can get a clear image. - when it powers on, it goes through self test including up/down, left/right, zoom in/out. All fine HOWEVER, I can't control the camera via PTZ once it has...

No reset button and maybe on firmware. Looking for a way to flash it but no success with TFTP and no access via SADP and Ip address

Using BI. but also tried to connect via SADP and direct IP address with no luck. Very strange... IP address times out. SADP does not see camera. Blue Iris seems to record intermittently some signal. I have attached a couple of recent pics that shows what has been recorded. Really strange...

I have a 2CD2732 and have had no luck with the FTFP fix. But to be honest, I am not 100% sure what my problem is. About a year ago, I remember trying to upgrade the firmware and thought I bricked the camera. It had some strange behaviors (don't remember). Anyway, today it comes on and off...

Great suggestions! I will try those and let you know. Thanks a lot!

I tried deoxit and still not working as built in POE. The good news is that it seems pretty stable with the external POE adapter/splitter. I now have two options: - use the external POE splitter. Seems ok but additional element/point of failure and creates bulk at install site - cut the...

For clarification purpose, can the zoom be controlled via blueiris?

Agreed. But would like to rule out other causes first if I can. and also interested if anyone can recommend a good connector. Especially female one on the camera side. Thanks

I'm really confused now... I have added a POE splitter. Camera seems to work fine for some time then stops. I unplug the RJ45 connector and it works again. when online, I can also access the config page via the IP address. when not available in BI, I can't access config page. One of the RJ45...

Hey steve9380, I think I may have the same issue. I thought that my problem may be the POE and would be fixed with a splitter but works intermittently. Which connector did you buy to replace your broken one? It looks like one or two of my RJ45 pins may be corroded and I am thinking of cutting...

Thanks Steve. Any chance you could provide more details on that and ideally a link to the instructions. I don't mind cutting and slicing my connection and doing my own POE splitter. I imagine 3 pairs are for the network connection and one pair for the power. I guess I could easily terminate the...

Same! Where can I find the video? Thabks

Thanks all. I have ordered the POE splitter above. Unfortunately, it is coming from China so won't be able to test for a few weeks... But it seems that if I connect a separate 12V power supply and network cable, it works... So I am hopeful the damage is "limited" to the internal POE. Will see if...

Thanks nayr. I appreciate your candor :-) Unfortunately when I bought my Huisun, reviews were good and price/value quite attractive. And many forum contributors were raving about it. And yes, there are risks in buying from Aliexpress and clearly you roll the dice. I was hoping I dodged the POE...
