Hi All, I've got a blue iris machine that has been running flawlessly for about 9 months now, with some help from the good folks here. I was surprised at how well it all went, after a bit of reading and planning. My next home project is to sort out media streaming, mostly music. There are few...

Anyone know what the update policy is for the app? I'm considering buying, but not sure how much value it adds over UI3 in the browser. It looks like it hasn't been updated in a while either. Can anyone with both apps comment on the functionality of one over the other?

I've got my three cameras positioned, mounted and tested; so far so good, however I have observed that the time on all three seem to be drifting from that shown in NetTime. At first I thought it was a firewall problem, so I turned off the Windows firewall and after 10 minutes (the default sync...

The general recommendation when installing Blue Iris seems to be to disable both Windows 10 and Blue Iris automatic updates, and only update when you need a feature. Generally, good advice. The wiki recommends disabling driver updates, not all updates. Is this still the recommended...

Had a few questions on v5. I am new to cameras and blue iris, and trying to avoid the headaches of an unstable release. A few people have been asking if the consensus is that the v5 problems are caused by an upgrade to v4, or may also exist in a fresh install of v5. Anyone have an...

Greetings all, I'm about to pull the trigger on my first surveillance camera, and would love any comments on the placement vs. camera capabilities. The area to be covered is the front door, which is at the top of a flight of stairs. Here's a picture from the landing below the entrance: Entry...

Anyone know if the later model cameras, specifically the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, can use the 256GB cards? I'd ask @EMPIRETECANDY directly, but figured it would be better here for others to know.

I've been reading for a few weeks now, and am leaning toward the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z as my first camera to get a feel for how it all works and determine focal lengths for the other cameras. There are a few things I'm not certain about and hope to get a bit of feedback on before I pull the...

A few of the 8 port managed switches that interest me, those supporting SNMP, all come with SFP uplink ports. I have seen some adapters, and wonder if anyone here has used them successfully? Alternatively, if anyone knows of a 8-port, SNMP capable PoE switch with 1GB RJ45 uplink, I'd love to...
