What's the easiest way to save a video that's still recording? I set it up to record continuosly, but other than that I don't mess with BI that much. There's an event I caught on two cameras a few minutes ago and I want the video now. How would you go about doing that the easiest, quickest...

Why are the Dahua Starlight IP cameras so recommended when a single camera costs almost as much as a cheap all-in-one DVR setup? I'd like to hear every reason there is. I've already bought some myself, I have 2x 2231 and 1x 5231. They're great quality cameras, and I come from a custom PC...

I have a Dahua PFA152-E Pole Mount bracket. The screws that came with it won't fit in my IPC-HDW2231R-ZS camera base plate. The washers (that won't come off the screw, the threads are wider than the washer hole) the washers are too big to fit down in the hole. I thought this camera was...

I recently installed a new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, but the zoom doesn't seem to be working. I think I have it enabled, but it doesn't zoom. What could be the issue?

I recently bought 2x IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP Starlights, but they aren't available now to buy more. I only need 2.8mm not necessarily varifocal. Would like it so see at night/day. What are some other choices that would be worth the cost? Thanks Edit: Could anyone tell me why I should or...

Using Dahua IP Camera IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP Starlight, how do I adjust Shutter Speed? I don't see it anywhere in the settings.

Hello, I have an offline setup of Dahua cameras with Blue Iris. My PC and BI keep the current time, but the Dahua cameras will not sync with the PC via ConfigTool. Is it possible to sync the cameras with the PC time while offline? Thanks

I got my cameras in today. I have two of these IPC-HDW2231R-ZS I have an old Netgear N300 router I'm trying to use for an offline (no internet) setup along with a BV-Tech 4-Port PoE+ Switch and a PC with Blue Iris. Should it be very difficult to modify the IP addresses after initializing the...

Will be using Blue Iris. I do not own any cameras nor ever used the software. Is varifocal automatic when it recognized an object? Or is it only manual? Can it recognize people at my door (very close up) as well as zoom if someone goes to my fence gate 25-30ft away? I'm looking to buy my first...

Is a Pentium G4600 (w/ hyper-threading) enough to run a 2MP or 4MP camera? I have spare parts including that CPU and would like to try setting up my first camera using a system with Pentium G4600 and Windows 10 and Blue Iris. How many cameras could I run? Would a GTX 1060 help it out? I have...
