    Dahua 4MP, power kicked, camera does not show up on NVR. Can ping IP but webpage login won't load

    Yea, I really don't want to have to remove it, lol. I really don't. I was thinking about swapping it out and then playing with it and see if it's still alive or on it's way out. It's only 2 years old ish. Open to any other ideas! :)

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    I'll mess with it when it's windy and cloudy again and see how it goes. I wish I still had the email, because I messed with that settings and got no results, and I had emailed him asking about it and explaining what I was doing and I remember him saying it wasn't for what I was trying to do...

    A brief compilation from a couple of days last week

    I've got a few big racoons that walk around at night, luckily I haven't run into them. It's pitch black outside and I am outside at night a good bit. Never know what you'll run into lol

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    I played with that when I made this original thread and it didn't help. I emailed Blue Iris maker and he said it didn't do what I was explaining I needed. I can't remember what he said exactly. Unless something has changed since then?

    What dash cam are you using?

    I use a Mobius action camera, it's great, has a wide angle, clear and reads license plates from a good distance. I don't have the capacitor mod, just a regular mobius powered through cig lighter.

    Fing & Fingbox

    I love the Fing app on my Android, I had updated to the new version awhile back and I hated it. It was different, so I went back to the older version. It's great though!

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    I didn't, I just live with it. It's only on certain days when it's windy and moves the clouds with the sun coming in and out. It works AMAZING and PERFECT on any days but that. I can't complain, best motion detection I've ever seen. I wish there was a way to ignore the sudden full screen motion...

    Dahua 4MP, power kicked, camera does not show up on NVR. Can ping IP but webpage login won't load

    Dahua 4MP, power kicked one day and now the camera does not show up on NVR. Can ping the IP and get a response but Dahua webpage login won't load. It doesn't even show up in the ONVIF program scan for that IP at all. I had this happen with this same camera before, but it reverted to the stock...

    POE cable length....?

    I gotcha, I wasn't sure exactly what was meant. I may do some conduit, I'm going to run probably 2 cables to that area, which I highly doubt I will ever need a 2nd one at this spot, but just in case if the first cable stops working for whatever reason. I've always found it's best to run more...

    POE cable length....?

    What do you mean by "fat as possible"? :D - - - Updated - - - Thanks, I figured no issues, just wasn't sure if any of you had run into some weird issues or anything. We all know how tech can be, lol. It can not work because it's in a mood, lol.

    Dahua Lenses... DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A & 4300C

    Any of you know if the DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A camera uses the same lens as the 4300C? camera? I swapped my 2.8mm lens in my 4300C to a 2.1mm and it is so much wider, it's amazing, it's not distorted any more than the 2.8mm and no black edges, or corners. I'd like to swap the lens in the new 4431C...

    POE cable length....?

    I wanted to see what some of you may say about a 230foot POE cat6 run of cable for a 4mp Dahua POE camera. Any of you had any advice or things to look out for when running a cable that long? I know 328foot is the max for POE, but I was curious on the advice some of you may have. The furthest run...

    Shadows are driving me crazy with alerts

    I just made a post yesterday, it's killing me lately due to this temp weather. I've always had shadow cancellation on since I started using BI about 8 months ago, but I don't know if it's ever "worked" for me because the current weather isn't like this except for a few weeks this time of year...

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    Yes, cancel shadows has been on. The windy weather with clouds and sun peeking in and out is killer. At least it's only happening for this pre-spring weather stuff. I'm hoping for being able to adjust sensitivity of different zones at some point. I could set up multiple zones on (1) camera...

    Best Blue Iris setting for less false alerts due to windy cloud shadows?

    On some of the cloudy days lately with wind and the clouds moving in and out over the sun, it makes these shadows on the ground quickly. It makes the cameras motion go off every few minutes. VERY annoying. (I have audio alerts for motion) I have 0 false alerts on regular normal sunny days. It's...

    How to Backup configuration in BI?

    Do NOT rename the Blue Iris.Reg file, it will freeze when trying to open the software again. I had a couple revisions and I named one Blue Iris Dec13.Reg and Blue Iris Dec22.Reg and it froze trying to start Blue Iris.

    Anyone uses wall mountable monitor with streaming box? Any recommendations?

    When you are streaming to a box, make sure it's on your local network and not being port forwarded out and back in wasting internet bandwidth from your data.

    NVR Dropping offline

    If you are connecting to a DDNS service, is your NVR hammering the service making it ban you temporarily for too many connections? I wouldn't have it connect mroe than once in a couple hours myself. I think 30 mins is usually the least to prevent being banned, not sure if that is your issue.

    bye bye, beloved mountain bike!

    Some CCTV camera laws are stupid, not being able to film the street is just out of it to me. I guess we have it made in America in all sorts of ways!

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    The 2 latest FW updates after my 6R version, has fixed the freezing problems. That's great and all, besides the garbled text in the menus. But at least that problem is solved, I knew it was the NVR, just wasn't sure if it was a hardware problem or Firmware. I just now have to get the FW...

    VERY awesome capture! That is an awesome view regardless of what's going on. No, but in Manilla I think it was, illegal fireworks was the cause of 3,000 familes to lose their homes :( I'm a downer lol, but people don't realize how well they have it, with the Dubai fire just hours before the...

    clever dog camera in blue iris

    If you don't figure it out automatically, maybe you could use wireshark on it and if it's not encrypted data you can see the data and info to maybe get the streaming information, or maybe a JPEG link.
