Thanks for the heads up Andy!

Great idea Andy I will keep an eye out for it thanks!

HI Andy! I have two of the ipc-hdw2231R-zs cameras and I've tried to download your link below and the file was deleted, is there another firmware update that I cant seem to locate or a new link? Thanks for all your hard work! Steve

Good morning, I have been updating the firmware of my HDW5231RZ starlights this morning, but when it csame to do my bullet camera and mini-dome and (dual mini dome) they would not display the model number in the config tool, or the IP camera login page under general. Ii just says "IP Camera"...

It seems to have settled down even lower now with the most noticeable difference in the night video processing where it was alway around 35%. Cpu but is now under 20% on average. Those readings were just before it got dark but very overcast.

and after;

Alright, I'm on it. Iva also noticed that CPU usage varies alot from daytime to night time on both systems, I'm sure there is a very good reason for that but I haven't really searched for that answer yet :) probably easier to process colour images or something, not sure..

I've got two Blue iris systems running in different locations, my home setup is a dell 7020 with an i7-4790 and my shop is the same mini tower wnd MB with the i5-4570. My shop is running 6 dahua 2MP starlights (Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY) and home has 9 of the same cams with significantly less...

Just did my install and it seemed to go well, haven’t tested the UI server remotely but my iPhone app works great and all my settings transferred over. The interface has a much different color scheme but the layout is similar once I realize the alerts are just flipped. I’m sure I’ll have...

Awesome, thanks for that. I got it working with port forwarding though the two routers and also created a ddns account so I can access it online anytime from a desktop. Of course it stopped working late morning and I had to go back and re do it, it seemed to have changed the IP address for...

I have opened or created a port forwarding rule on his router already to point to the BI server on my router, but are you saying I need to open a port to my router and THEN my BI server? Or will it see my BI server if I just open the port to the shop router on the main Router?

I’m installing my 2nd blue iris system at my shop (finally). My neighbor was kind enough to let me link into his network so I setup a WiFi bridge to my shop which works fantastic. He has a standard bell fibe DSL modem going to my bridge then I have a second dlink router on my end to give...

I did what you suggested and finally found the windows firewall page, and my cameras are finally sync'ing now, thanks everyone for the help, it was all very worthwhile and helpful! Steve

That is a great screenshot thank you, I will check again when I get home tonight!

I did not check the box "allow other devices to sync with this computer" so I did that and left it for a couple hours and no time sync still :( do I have to check the box "Always provide time" right below the first box?

I have 8 dahua cams running into a ciso POE switch that is plugged into the DSL router (Bell home hub 2000) that handles all the routing, and the IPCAM server is also plugged into the same switch. The only special instructions I have put in the DSL router are port forwarding rules for the...

I have been trying this and have the network time server running on my PC, all my dahua 5231 cameras point to the port 123 on the IP of the IPCAM server every 30 min, but none of them sync. Do I have to point to the IPCAM servers IP plus the port? EG 192.168.1.58:8084 or just 192.168.1.58...

That’s bang on, it works good now! Now to figure out which ptz that would work best with the NVR!

Hi all, I’ve been hanging around for a while but am getting frustrated with my NVR from empiretcandy (no problems with you andy I just can’t figure something out) I have a small system for my shop across town with the 8 ch Poe NVR froma andy and it works great, records 3 dahua starlights I...

Wel it seems slightly more complex and I won't argue with you, my only issue is I do alot of remote viewing from the app, and I do notice quite a delay quite often, and from what I gather, that is one thing the SSD is said to help address a bit.

Well mine is still in the bag, so I'm thinking the same thing but I am watching the part 2 clips video for the third time to understand the splitting drive setup, I keep getting distracted and missing key points in the drive sharing...

Do you mind showing a screen shot of your setup? I'm in the process of trying to migrate over the DB etc and still trying not to delete important stuff :( My limit size was 300 GB and I'm trying to shrink it and delete the old folder so it will fit on my smaller SSD then clone the HDD I have a...

Ah I did not think of splitting the drives like that, I guess I have to re watch the clips and archiving video part 2 again! Question, Why is the database file on the small drive anyway, it seems counter intuitive to me like it would need a larger space, just wondering because I don’t...

Hi there, I have been reading the cliff notes on the setup a few times and it indicated putting the OS and clips on a small SSD and a purple hdd for the remaining DB is the way to go. Currently I have a Dell Optiplex 7020 with the factory 500g hdd, 8 dahua starlights (and planning 2 or 3...

Hi Caligirl, I just used the software listed in that page and had to make an account with them, once I did that I went through the software steps in that program. the stuff that ships with the cameras didnt work for me at that time. Steve

I’ve just been doing the auto update when the program starts, I haven’t put much thought into updating any other way. The update today fixed the problem (and the cpu usage seems to be much less yay) but the system wouldn’t record all night last night :( I will look into manual updates from the...

I just did the update and am having the same issue, very sad!
