    How can I offset by minutes and not by hours? Will this tool accept parameters like -0.5 or 0.5 for 30 minutes?

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Having both channels configured inside the tool, when running the first sunrise simulation only one channel keeps the setting, the other one applies it just for 1 second and reverts to initial state. Running another consecutive sunrise simulation, forces the problematic channel to change the...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hi @bp2008, I'm trying to use this tool with IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M(this is dual lens camera, bought from Andy). It works OK for channel 1, but has no effect for channel 2. Do you have any idea how can I trigger also the second channel? Thanks, Costi B.

    Thanks Mike, it seems that he already received the licence via email and activated OK. He will test later this evening also the forum/store account. I suppose that his forum/store account will also contain his license key...

    This is for sure a mistake. We are both currently accessing internet from our office, with official provider from Atos company. We have no knowledge of our background IT infrastructure(this is separate department is such a big company) or further internet access routing. I'll tell him to access...

    How to choose and arrange camera views?

    You can simply login with an admin user every time, you'll still see the camera groups at first position in BI app and can easily change groups in UI3... But I use this limited user, watching only 4 cameras most of the time, it is sufficient for me when I'm not at home and also loading just 4...

    How to choose and arrange camera views?

    I've solved this shortcoming with UI3 layout by creating another group of 4 cameras in BI interface, then assign this group to another user limited to this group only. I mainly use this user just to watch these 4 most-used cameras in UI3 and also in BI Android app. When I just want to check some...

    How to choose and arrange camera views?

    I have 10 cameras, in Blue Iris interface, right click - Layout - check "1:6" or "1:9" and "4-up". This way I have 4 cameras primary and the rest are in a column in the right side. To order your cameras, in Blue Iris interface, right click - disable "Prioritize selected camera" then drag and...

    Blue Iris major update release cycle

    Thanks fenderman for their Support link. Somehow I missed that page and all the info was there. "Basic support is included with your initial software license purchase." "Major version upgrade protection = 30 days" (for Basic plan) Now everything is clear.

    Blue Iris major update release cycle

    I've tested Blue Iris in evaluation mode until now and I'm thinking to purchase one license. I know there should be around 3 years cycle period for a major release. Does someone knows when was the last major release or when will probably be the next one? If I buy today how close am I going to...

    Can someone please reconfirm that VTO3211D-P together with VTH5221DW works with a standard PoE(802.3af) switch and I don't need VTNS1060A (Dahua's proprietary power supply for IP System). Thanks.

    Thanks @Mike A. and @looney2ns for taking the time to answer my topic. It really helps and it feels good not to be "alone in the dark". Sure Mike, I've compared mine with a Hikvision Cube cause that's the only other camera I had, and there is no comment about Starlight image. I can't wait to...

    OK, I've just placed my order with @EMPIRETECANDY. Crossing my fingers that package will come complete/intact and in time... So in the end I'll have these items: 3 pieces IPC-HDW2231R-ZS mounted on PFA122 2 pieces IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M(f3.6mm) mounted on PFA137 1 piece IPC-HDW5231R-ZE (from my...

    That's a very good explanation of the phenomenon Mike and yes it makes perfect sense to me! Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain better. Indeed using a flashlight for testing is a good idea. Now I'm worried more about this problem... I'm thinking if I can change something(camera...

    "Student" presenting new project, examination required.

    So, as I understand, the cure for these IR beams overlapping is to change position, direction and zoom level, am I right? Of course there is also option of a separate IR light source, but this is not an option for me at the moment. Anything else I can do for this problem?

    "Student" presenting new project, examination required.

    Thanks Mike. About the IR beams, I'll have to retest once I have all the cameras, as for now I only have one. I'm not worried about the hight inside the courtyard, but outside I think I'll be fine, it's a dead end street with low traffic only for me and neighbors. I'll have the wiring done by my...
