    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    For some reason, the find/inspect does not find the audio stream. But yes, I am physically at the BI computer and can hear the audio through the IE GUI.

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    Yep it's a 5442 turret. The audio works through the IE GUI but not BI. And I've deleted and added again. Guess I'll just email BI support since I just paid for it. Will update if I solve the issue!

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    So, I tried deleting the camera, and re-adding, and clicking on the enable audio box when I re-added it. But no luck. Here are some screenshots from my setup. It is working fine from the Web GUI - I can hear the audio. But it's not coming through to BI. Thanks for all of your help!

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    Yep I'm sitting right at the machine. The problem in BI seems to be find/inspect. It's not finding any audio Path.

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    Thanks all for the advice. I can hear the audio live in the web interface but not in Blue Iris. In BI I did go into the audio settings and enabled and chose the camera stream for the audio. What else would I be missing? I have disabled noise filter.

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    You've been so helpful, thank you! Does the 5442 turret run the stream back on the Ethernet cable? I happen to have one of those and honestly didn't even know about the built in mic. So I could just move it to the location where I want audio.

    Need Help with Dahua Audio Install

    Oh wow, I was completely not understanding how audio works. I thought that the camera had a built in mic! I was way off. Ok, so what I really need is a separate mic for the camera? Which ones do people use?

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Yes, I had my laptop connected directly to BI computer and no other network devices were connected. I checked with another personal laptop and I confirmed that I get an IP address assisgment but it is in the range 169.254.x.x. So I'm not sure what's going on there. How do I check my partitions...

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Ok, I'm convinced that it's my BI PC. Here's what I did: 1. Disconnected BI PC from POE switch 2. Turned off work laptop wifi - checked that it was also disconnected from POE switch 3. Plugged CAT6 cable directly from BI PC into work laptop ethernet port 4. On work laptop, ran cmd and ipconfig...

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    So, here's some more details. When I have this problem, I used an app called "Fing" to do a network scan. This is the weird part, though. At first, it said that 192.168.30.1 was my HP printer. So I turned my printer off. Then it said that 192.168.30.1 was my FireTV stick. So I have no idea...

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Sorry, should have been clear. This screenshot was from my work computer, plugged into the same POE switch as my BI computer, but having the POE switch disconnected from my internet router.

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Ack, sorry about the delay. Here's what I did: 1. Unplugged POE switch from the internet router (Blue Iris PC still connected to switch) 2. Disabled wifi on work computer and plugged in ethernet cable to switch Also, of note is that this is after I bought a new switch. I was suspicious so I...

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    I don't think so. At least, if they are, I wouldn't know that I did it on purpose. Is there a way to check?

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Ok, so I've finally been able to crack this nut. It took forever because I just assumed that it was a case of overlapping IP addresses as most everyone expected. But it looks to be much stranger than that! I had to use a scanning app on my phone to be certain. Here's what's going on. Normally...

    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    I can't seem to figure this out. I've had my Dahua system set up since last July. I run BI on a Dell computer with an 8 port POE+ unmanaged Netgear switch. For some reason, having the switch connected to the internet will sometimes mess with my work computer's VPN. But only with internal company...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Ok, so I've been recording at day and night for a few weeks now. I would say that the daytime is really well dialed in. I did move my camera to a new position to get closer to the plates. Now I'm at about 110 feet. I'm still having a little trouble at night. I would say that I can read almost...

    With the daytime settings, I'm getting fairly good hits on PlateRecognizer through BI. Still some room for tweaking but it's coming along...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Nighttime still a work in progress. Sometimes I get useable snaps, and sometimes it's just garbage. I did order an IR illuminator tonight and will try that out when it arrives on Monday.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    So with a little tweaking based on bigredfish suggestions yesterday, and a little more today with playing with contrast and HLC, I'm getting excellent captures during the daytime.

    BI not listing Alerts

    I added a new camera, a LPR IPC-HFW5231E-Z12. I set it to record only upon trigger. Nothing else.

    BI not listing Alerts

    Over the last day, I have stopped getting notices of Alerts in the little timeline bar at the bottom of the screen. But, it appears that BI is still triggering and recording correctly. For example, I have one camera set to record only upon triggering, when a car drives by (LPR). BI is triggering...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Ok, I understand. I'll give that a shot. I was trying to capture both directions of traffic on this road, so I'll have to do some fine tuning.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Ah, gotcha. Just so that I understand, by angling up, you mean pointing the camera further up the road so as to decrease the angle?
