    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I supplied screenshots before being accused of being 'misguided' and 'Lazy'... I asked for screenshots or links, but you doubled down in your condescension... "yes, we are all lying to you"...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    You came in to this with a condescending 'Don't be lazy'... am I not correct in that? Noting wrong with expecting a program that is asking an annual fee to not 'render itself useless' when uninstalling the previous version, is there???

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Here is what you could have replied: At the bottom of Home - Blue Iris Software, you will see a button for "1 yr. extension of support & maintenance ($34.95 one time)" this count for a BI4 to BI5 upgrade.

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I did not say they intentionally did it... I said the software hoses itself when uninstalling 4, which does not mean the software authors did it intentionally... but it does hose the BI5 installation, does it not??? You need to sit down and relax...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I came here to see if I could not have the extended be a 'subscription' where it charges me again in a year... what I found was I should not upgrade if I want it working and don't have time to mess with it... I will just buy a new install and install on a fresh windows install... if you are...

    but you didn't say lens, you said 'camera'... this thread has more than enough information that you did not have to revive it.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    please, at a minimum, read the very first post. "You will note, that unlike the ZE, this model does not have any audio, nor is it ePOE capable, just standard POE. It also only has one substream, and face detection is deleted."

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    The screengrab I supplied showing the image quality issue with the thumbnail is during the day... the light is off... the picture quality shown above that, at night, with the light on, is fine for me at the current point in time.... not sure what the fascination is with the lightbulb, can...

    If you have THIS CAMERA, and blueiris, I would appreciate a screen grab of the thumbnail image and the settings you have for that camera in BI and in the camera..

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    yes, but there is area that I NEED to view, so I will have to move the light, and since it is powered by conduit straight through the concrete block, that will be a little work, and most of all, NONE of this has anything to do with the problem of the thumbnail image in blueiris being...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I just powered it up and set the password, then 'added camera' to BI.... everything else is default... Am I using the substream for BI? I have no idea! i just pasted the config above because I was told to above... The FoV is motorized, I am happy with it and that is not a concern at this...

    strange, in the blueiris main screen, the thumbnail image is a lot less clear than the hikvision.

    I got it, installation was a breeze, I like the mounting simplicity, and the initial login that required me to set strong password made me feel safe that these will not be the preferred target of hackers looking for mass targets.. You could say I am happy.... hikvision DS-2CD2132 Dahua...

    ordered one after reading this while searching for a better cam to replace some HIKVISION DS-2CD2132F-IS domes that are horrible at night! Will report back!

    1x 8TB vs 2x 4TB writing

    sounds like a plan! (but then I get the idea that an option for a 'secondary location' would still be helpful..., half the cameras write to drive 1 and have drive 2 as a secondary, the other half have the reverse... I cannot justify having a cold spare, and this would allow an automatic...

    1x 8TB vs 2x 4TB writing

    yeah, but if you can shut all but one drive down for weeks at a time... it might just be a 'not worth it thing', but thought I would ask.. but the redundancy thing... if one goes bad can you have it automatically write to the other, or would you need raid JBOD?

    1x 8TB vs 2x 4TB writing

    A somewhat related question, is it possible to have BI and 2x 4TB such that it writes to one drive, then when full, it writes to the 2nd drive, and the first drive spins down? I have 11-12 continuous streams that fill a 4TB in ~2 weeks, and I would like to add another 4TB, but if it is...
