    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    wittaj was right on. Thanks also to everyone else for comments. I'm going to have pick up those POE injectors from Andy. I put it on the 24v supply last night and reenabled BI. This morning I see that it is auto tracking very well and I've had zero lost signals. Hopefully I haven't...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    I've have the led lights turned off since earlier I was getting a lot of false triggers. The false triggers were resolved with IVS, and I've monitored my switch during the motion and not seeing anything over 10.9W. I had upped the switch to deliver 16.1W max earlier since I only have a 40'...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    I did notice that I was running a 2nd sub stream. When I turned sub stream 2 off, I got many fewer disconnects. I had hundreds earlier, but this time just a few. Switched to H264, and it still disconnected as it was zooming in during autotrack. I'm going to remove BI from the equation again...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    Still having problems with the auto tracking. I can see it attempting to auto track when a car or person is moving along in the field of view, but as soon as the camera begins to zoom and track, the connection drops, the frame freezes and then re-establishes connection. Getting about 100 or so...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    OMG - I'm an idiot. Wow, I just bought 4 IPC-Color4K from Andy and set them up using MD. Didn't even know there was a smart plan for them. Now I'm just realizing my older HDW4831 and T549M that I've had for years also have IVS and smart plan. Guess I'll be changing these things around...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    It is an expensive camera. Doesn't help that I have so many trees around here. I mounted it on my garage corner around 8' high to get under the canopies, and have moved it twice to try for a better view. I had it auto-tracking before but with all the leaves moving around in the wind, this PTZ...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    What I am trying to achieve is have the PTZ and zoom follow along when it detects motion. Where would I find IVS? I see there is an "enable auto-track" in BI's PTZ/Control tab. I'm trying to understand whether these settings are made in the web GUI or in BI or in both. I also have...

    PTZ5A4K-25x Stopped working after being in web interface. How to reconnect

    So I was following along Andy's video on adjusting the settings, mostly the PTZ auto tracking while I was in the web interface. I think I also clicked the PTZ maintenance button while I was there. Anyhow after about 30 seconds before saving anything, the camera was no longer reachable, and...

    Putting BI and cameras on vlan subnet, but using BI server on main LAN

    I have all my cameras and Blue Iris on the 192.168.4.0 network, and for years have only used one workstation to view or review footage. I just recently decided to use the BI server on my 192.168.1.0 primary LAN so that my other devices can have access to the feeds by installing a USB NIC...

    Blue IRIS 5 not allowing updates

    Old Thread, but yeah compare $34 for a one year upgrade to $58 for a new license. Could make sense to just buy a new license and use the older software license on a different box to offload your camera CPU's, e.g., indoor vs outdoor camera's, stick a BI system in your car, put a separate system...

    Suggestions for a Simple two camera remote monitoring without internet connection

    Here at the house I'm running BI and a couple of Dahua cameras, but I have to travel to Florida to fix up an old house that my renter trashed and abandoned. I'm going to fix it up and sell it and probably spends three or four months off and on doing it and travelling back and forth, so I'd like...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    The pics came off BI's snapshop camera icon. They were about 930pm, so not sure that matters. From the Dahau camera setup it show 50% for all settings Bri/contrast/saturation/sharpness/gamma. Here's a daytime shot.

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Thanks. Andy only had the 3.6 lens on this model, so that's what I picked up. I'm glad I didn't go for the 2.8mm, which was my original intent, but now I think that might have been too wide even on this small porch. Aristobrat, thanks for the advice on a test rig. I'll look that up. I do...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    I'm liking the quality of this camera. It seems to do pretty well in low light, and I've installed it three different times; first it was too high, the second time as you can see in the picture had the porch light glowing on it at night, so I moved it again so that the post was blocking the...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Fenderman, Thank you. My bad. I knew I read "h.265" and "Intel" in the same sentence, but must have mis-remembered those little details. Well at least I know it's working and configured the way it's supposed to be.

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Also just played a bit with the h.265. It works only if I put gpu acc to NO. and the picture is pretty responsive. But it's just about as responsive as h.264 and GPU to Intel. The difference is with NO GPU the CPU seems to be running more. Probably doesn't help that I'm pushing a 43inch...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Ok thanks, that's what I was using rtsp.. and I did set it up for record direct to disk. CPU is about 20%/memory 26%; 15%/15% respectively for just BI. I did a build with a used HP elite G3 running a i7-6700T and 16Gmem so it might be the networking. Clean build with Win10, and really nothing...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Just picked up a Dahua 5442 from EmpireAndy, and I'm using BI as my NVR. BI doesn't recognize the camera other than a generic ONVIF camera. Seems BI only has six models of Dahua. I have a bit of a video lag. Just wondering if there is a more compatible profile I could be using. So far the...
