I did just hook up a monitor to my Blue Iris computer today; I had to wait for an adapter to show up given the older monitor that I have (it has HDMI, my computer has display port). That does seem to be working, thanks for that suggestion as well! Since I run my Blue Iris as a service, do you...

FYI This has been working PERFECTLY ever since I shut off the NVR. I haven't done much to try and bring it back online as Blue Iris is doing exactly what I need. I might try to tinker with the NVR a bit later to see if I can still use it for live viewing purposes, given that my setup had a...

Well this is very odd, and a bit embarrassing, but removing the NVR from the picture completely (offline and unplugged from the switch) seems to have fixed the problem - at least so far it seems that way. I checked in one of the rooms that was having the issue and tested turning the lights on...

Great suggestion, let me remove the NVR from the picture completely and see what results I get. I really appreciate the help troubleshooting!

They are all connected to an external PoE switch and then both the NVR and BI are pulling them in via their respective IPs. So, from your choices this is the 2nd one you asked.

Fair enough, that is what I was worried about. I haven't found much by googling around, so it does seem like what I am experiencing isn't normal. This is definitely possible, although when I go through and visit each camera's specific URL for configuring it, I see the video settings are all...

How do I ensure this setting is remembered? I just went through and changed it to Yellow on a single camera, and checked every other camera I have and they all initially showed yellow (as if this is a global setting). Once I saw them all yellow, I closed Blue Iris UI and then re-opened it only...

Before switching to Blue Iris, I have been using a Swann NVR and the settings for all of my cameras leave the IR on auto so that they can turn on or off depending on the amount of light visible in the room. Since I've switched over to blue iris, I have noticed that they do not seem to...

I have a few LTS CMIP8932-W 3MP cube cameras that have firmware v5.3.0 build 151014 installed on them. I recently purchased a few of the Annke 2MP cube cameras that were on sale and followed a guide to update them using the official Hikvision firmware and it worked perfectly! :) I am wondering...

In a previous thread I mentioned that I was using a cheap tablet as the monitor for a camera in the baby's room. However, this tablet often powers off on it's own (perhaps due to an overheat issue since it is quite cheap) and when I power it back on and start NVMS7000 again, I continually have...

I am currently doing this exact thing using a Chinese made tablet (Chuwi HI8 Pro 32GB Intel Z8300 Quad Core 1.84GHz 8 Inch Dual OS Tablet). These can be found on slickdeals at times for about $90 shipped, so not too expensive to try out. In my case I am only monitoring a single Hikvision...

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone UPDATE for those who care: I never ended up paying anyone to run the cables. I already purchased 2000+ feet of CAT6 cable and the parts needed to run the cables myself. I spent between 4-6 hours in the...

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it! @fenderman: I have a question about the cable that I purchased... I purchased one of each of these a long time ago and thought I could use it for the wiring...

I have two 1000' rolls of CAT6e cable that I purchased online and I am looking to get this CAT6e to all of my rooms and living areas in my home for both an IP camera (somewhere near the ceiling) as well as a box at normal floor level for other devices. So, this would be 2 cable runs leading to...

Thanks for that suggestion @djangel but it appears the firmware this device came with has a bug in it. I updated to their latest firmware and it did fix the issue (now I can get screenshots to my FTP configured), but they are not full resolution. I might try updating to the Hikvision 5.3...

Hey all, I have 3 LTCMIP8932-W (DS‑2CD2432F‑IW/2) cube IP cameras using PoE and I am having trouble getting them to send motion detection screenshots to an FTP that is configured. Is there anyone out there that has got this working before and run into similar issues along the way? I have tried...

What is the best way to catch one of the Dell OptiPlex 7020/9020 i7-4790 machines when they go on a big sale? Do I just need to continually check the Dell Outlet site until I see the price really drop, or is there a better approach?

Re: NVR or PC w/Blue Iris? (Record, Snapshot, Mobile App, View Live Cams from Desktop @klasipca do you know if your NVR has the feature set that I am looking for? Mainly being able to do motion detection of all cameras with a screenshot and video recording? I'll do some research myself, but...

Re: NVR or PC w/Blue Iris? (Record, Snapshot, Mobile App, View Live Cams from Desktop Thanks everyone for the replies! I appreciate the honest opinions on both NVR and Blue Iris options so that I can pick what I "really" want to use. It sounds like I will definitely need to build a new...

I'm wondering if someone can help me identify some of the pros and cons of using an NVR versus building a PC and using Blue Iris. I have a few things I would like to be able to do and am hoping you guys can help me decide which is my best option. I currently have the following IP cameras: 11...

I am looking at purchasing Blue Iris, but have some questions before I decide to do so. Summary / Current Problem: I have been an iSpy user in the past and have had my 11 Foscams configured to take screenshots on movement detection (stored locally). I have the iSpy application being displayed...

Re: Need suggestions for a Hikvision baby monitor and (wireless?) surveillance monito @harrijs - Thanks for pointing that out! I actually did order the GS1910-24HP model from NewEgg a while back; I'm not sure why the link in my invoice (that I pasted here) displays the non PoE+ version. I...

I sent you a PM and am looking to make a few purchases very soon. Please send the catalog my way. Thanks!

Re: Need suggestions for a Hikvision baby monitor and (wireless?) surveillance monito Thank you guys for the suggestions! :cool2: I was wondering, will I need that NVR or can I alternatively use an old computer (running something like iSpy or Blue Iris) in order to connect a tablet or phone to...

I'm looking to pick up a couple Hikvision IP cameras to use as baby monitors. I think it would be best if they had 2 way audio. Wifi seems like it might be logical for ease of using them in different rooms/locations, but if not then they must be PoE. I know in the past people have suggested a...
