    Camera Captures

    I know the forum has some members that like to watch nature and it's habitants! Happened to be logged into my BI from work when I saw this bird, Falcon I assume? Noticed he had caught his prey, so played the clip and saw my cameras had captured his hunt. Pretty neat. Both cameras are Dahua...

    EmpireTech - Thank You

    It's my first Dahua camera and I really like it. I'm still learning some of the features of it, but for now I have it running just the default specs. I wanted it to capture my front yard and be able to use the PTZ feature. Day - SD1A203T-GN 2MP by sc6pt0 posted Apr 23, 2019 at 9:25 PM Night...

    Anybody here using the Amcrest 9-port POE+ switch?

    I'm actually running this switch at the moment, have had it for a year now. Haven't had an issue with it at all. It survived the first 100+ degree summer in SoCal. Not sure how you plan on mounting it or if it will just sit on something. But I wanted to mount it and for that I had to use a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Awesome, thank you for that. I misunderstood the setup and made all my changes on the camera however I never looked at the actual BI user account within BI. After checking on that, I did have PTZ disabled. Everything was good after that. Thank you!

    Upgraded to 4.8.4.8 and no trigger

    How many profiles do you have setup on BI? I had similar issues, the only way I fixed it, was by deleting all zones in each profile for that camera. I happen to use 3 profiles, so i deleted the zones in all 3. Then applying the changes after I deleted the zones Going back in and re-doing the...

    Expanding System - Help Needed Camera Locations

    Hello Everyone, I had been wanting to add more cameras but wanted to do some research before purchasing cameras. Been reading the cliff notes and some reviews of Dahua cameras from forum members. I currently have a simple 3 camera system running through BI. I'd like to expand to hopefully a...

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    I'm not familiar with Lorex but I don't think you need a network cable from the dvr to the modem. You should just have a cable going from the modem, to your switch. (They call this an uplink) Your switch, should then feed the dvr and ip cameras. So yes, you may have a loop there. If you don't...

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    No worries, how is that switch getting internet/network access?

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    Yes that would not be your router, you may not have one and might be using your modem as a router and wifi access point, what is the switch you have there connected to?

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    No problem, always glad to help, what type of router do you have or modem? Not sure how you have your network setup. You would need to login to that device. Then look for the DHCP range it's using.

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    Got it, I would check what IP's you used and ensure they are out of the DHCP scope, it's worth a look. If you log into your router or modem (what ever handles your networks IP's) and check your LAN settings, you will see where your range starts. For example I have mine setup at 192.168.1.100...

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    Awesome, did you configure the cameras yourself? Are you using static IP's on them, (you set an IP address to each camera manually)? If you gave them a static IP, you need to ensure, you gave them an IP that is out of the DHCP's range, these are addresses assigned by your router/switch to other...

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    Assuming you are on a windows computer and the computer is on the same network as your camera system, click on Start and type in the search cmd this should bring up the command prompt program, open that up and lets say a camera that has an IP of 192.168.1.10 you would type in the following ping...

    network (brodcast) storm crashing my network, suggestions?

    Are you using static IP's for your cameras? When the system goes down and you can no longer see the cameras, can you ping said cameras that are down? Quick way to see if your cameras are losing connection and are offline and possibly find out if it is a hardware issue. Do any other devices...

    Upgraded to 4.8.4.8 and no trigger

    Thanks for the tip! I'm on BI 4.8.4.8 and had encountered this issue with one camera. I receive my motion triggered alerts through SMS but BI did not display them in the alerts tab. The time bar at the bottom also showed none of the usual animations. I removed all my zones from every profile...

    Just wanted to say thank you for these videos as well, they have greatly helped me better understand BI and many of its functions. Watching your videos, I was able to better stop some of the false triggers setting up zones in my yard where I had a lot of tree shadow movement in the wind. Good...
