General BI support question. I have BI 5 with Basic Support that has recently expired. I noticed the update area is now grayed out and I am not able to update in BI even for minor 5.X updates. Can you download the latest version from the website and update (i.e., will that work once installed...

Got all of them done but the one where running the ethernet wire is not practical. Testing with the powerline adapters I have yielded very inconsistent results from OK to basically worthless (< 5 mbps). Granted I have a bunch of older ones. Have you used any newer powerline adapters for such...

I was not aware that you could use power line ethernet adapters outside. I assume you need ones rated for such though? Any recommendations on those?

Thanks. Looks like one location I will not be able to easily get ethernet cabling to (power shouldnot be a problem). Any recommendations on a similar wireless camera?

Thanks. I figure with my home in Florida being concrete block construction like most homes here, it would make sense to run cmp rated cat 6 from a 2nd floor laundry room (where the network panel and router\main switch are) poe switch up to the attic and then punch a hole to the outside and...

Thanks. So I assume the Empire Tech version sold on Amazon of the: IPC-HDW5442t-ZE .... Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing -- variable focus 2.7 mm-12mm 4 MP Starlight...

OK, Just moved to Florida and looking to set up 4 outdoor cameras to monitor my home. Have Blue Iris setup internally, so am looking for BI compatible, decent but not ludicrously priced outdoor cameras that I can mount on the 2 side walls, front over the door area and back over the lanai...

OK, wondering what the cheapest way is to get a second Blue Iris license for a second installation. I have a current system running BI v4 (have not upgraded). I have a vacation home I want to put up a second BI server in. I read where a second license is half off ($35), but would my V4...

Looking to setup a snow bird home I recently bought with a number of video cameras and Blue Iris. Figured I would ask the community on what 4k\8MP IP camera they would currently recommend for inside the home. Looking for one with the good image quality (day and night\IR), which is compatible...

The hardware is another matter. If the hardware has issues it is obviously time to move on. I just would not waste any time with Vista at any level. It is out of support in a few months. From the sounds of it you reinstalled a fresh copy of the OS???? At that point there was\is no reason...

I can understand wanting to keep using the older hardware, but for a video DVR system, I would tend to agree with Fenderman and would have moved on to better hardware considering the cost of an i5 -6500 based system is around $300. As to the OS, why in heavens name woulld you rebuild a...

Anyone have any opinions on the: LaView 1080P HD 4 Cameras 4CH Security System DVR with 1TB HDD 2MP Bullet Cam Surveillance Kit which is currently $210 at Walmart? LaView 1080P HD 4 Cameras 4CH Security System DVR with 1TB HDD 2MP Bullet Cam Surveillance Kit - Walmart.com Comes with 4...

Had the same problem with only one address in play on the camera triggers. Had to revert back to 4.4.7. BI obviously messed something up with 4.4.8 and they should stop trying to deflect it onto their customers email setup. That said, looks like they updated to 4.4.8.2 today. Anyone know if...

OK. My current setup is running BI on a Win 7 machine on my network. I have a > 10000 port forwarded to the machine from my router for BI external access via the BI android app. Secure only authentication on all connections. Everything works great. My router does not support dd-wrt and I...

FYI...Laview has released a V5.3.0 build 151217 firmware for this camera. You can get it at their site below. No idea what the updates are as I can not find any release notes. http://www.laviewusa.com/support/download

OK...I figured out what was going on. A couple of poor human interface and documentation issues in the Laview firmware imo. First off, apparently the camera has a second MAC address not listed on the documentation or the box for wi-fi connectivity. This was being blocked by my MAC filtering...

Actually I am using AES...do not know how I missed that. I switched that...no change though. I then tried a new IP...again no connection. I re-verified the Key is correct and even went through the exercise of copying and pasting it from another device that is working just to make sure. When...

Hello: I ham having problems getting the wifi to work on my Laview LV-PC902F2-W 2MP camera. Works fine via wired ethernet connection. Does not seem to want to connect via wi-fi. It sees my main router and I have entered the correct key. Just will not connect without the wire. Attached...
