You farging bastiches. Push an update, and hang my system at the reboot? ARRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!

My wifi doorbell has been working much better since running Ethernet Cat-6 to it several weeks ago. I'm NOT going to update the firmware, because it's WORKING. Here's the info from their site: Notes and What's New 1. Optimize the status light illumination logic of the Doorbell to indicate...

Have a 'wedge' 4231 camera beside my carport, monitoring the path there. It's rotated ninety degrees in BI, and appears fine in the Blue Iris Windows application, and also on the 'all cameras' mosaic/overview. But if I tap the camera to bring it up, the iOS app crashes and restarts. The...

Tonight, I was unable to bring up UI3 from within my LAN. I was also not able to connect the BI app on my iPhone to the BI server, either from LAN or WAN. I run STUNNEL as a Windows service, and it was running. But it was definitely NOT passing traffic as it has for months with no problem...

Attempted to setup MQTT feeds for alerts from Blue Iris to Home Assistant this afternoon. It appears a single MQTT message was generated, which lacked the camera name in the MQTT topic. It was supposed to look like this. MQTT Topic: BlueIris/&NAME/Alert Post/Payload...

I ordered the fingerprint reader and a few more ESP8266 mini boards this week... https://community.home-assistant.io/t/garage-fingerprint-sensor/312977/46

Tried an update/download this evening, now see "Evaluation" on all my screens, and in the error log, "your license is not authorized to use this version". Did licensing change in the last year or so, or did I download a bad file, somehow?

Here's the thread at the Home Assistant community forum, in the 'Scripts' sub-forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/dahua-cameras-switch-between-day-and-night-video-profiles/264458 It's a BASH shell script that runs on the Home Assistant system. It uses a Wemos D1 Mini with a BH1750...

What settings are you using with this camera for your Day and Night profiles? Clearly, I do not want Auto for either Day or Night. If I set only shutter speed, things get wonky/sub-optimal. But is Shutter Priority a better choice than Gain Priority? Am I lazy? No. Just too darned busy with...

If you find this a good deal, PLEASE go over to Slick Deals and rep the original poster, Suryasis. It's got an I5-10400, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Just pop in your big honking WD Purple hard drive(s) and load up Blue Iris...

If you've been waiting for a deal, here it is... https://slickdeals.net/f/14213570-g-skill-aegis-32gb-2-x-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram-ddr4-3200-pc4-25600-100-newegg

I got one of these used desktop i7 systems a few weeks ago, and finally received the m.2 PCI card to install the SSD for the system disk. Got everything setup and running last night and this morning, UNTIL I told it to reboot/restart just now. Seems it's not restarting, probably because...

I seriously cannot complain about these little units. For $50 to $90 each, they were workhorses, especially when wired with PoE. Their wifi matrix antenna left a LOT to be desired, but the video quality was excellent, and the firmware was top-notch. My kitchen unit just failed, so I took one...

They didn't stop. They didn't leave any free samples. They could have dropped off a few cases and billed me, ya know?

Wicked thunderstorms with damaging winds blew up and through town Saturday afternoon. Because the local electric utility won't invest in underground primaries for existing overhead lines, we lose power every time the wind blows and a rotted branch falls across an electric line. My neighborhood...

I purchased the latest model of this Minion camera this week. Not going to connect it to anything, because it's just a decoration for my desk at work, another chotchke to start conversations. And besides, I like anything minion-ish. And it can be used for a paperweight, too!

Got it mounted, and provided power, but no on/off switch ability, yet. (it works GREAT, by the way) Was considering the TP-Link KP200 smart outlet, unless someone else can offer a better suggestion? Seriously, how do other folk turn on/off their add-on IR illuminators? Thanks in advance.

Wife was getting tired of losing cameras on her phone whenever I updated/upgraded/reconfigured anything at the house. Explained that if we changed her old camera viewing app to the BlueIris app, she'd never lose one of them again (at least not due to config changes, anyway.) The best part of...

First day back from vacation, and already got my order submitted and invoice received before lunchtime today. Thank you, Andy, for your tireless dedication to the IPCamTalk users. Your customer service is just one of the many great things about you and your business. :wave:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-orbi-outdoor-ac3000-tri-band-wi-fi-range-extender/6190765.p Yeah, yeah, it's at Best Buy . . .

While I strongly suspect the answer is a resounding NO!, does anyone know anything much about open ports / RTSP / ONVIF capability on these cameras? A not-so-tech co-worker bought the package from QVC last weekend, and didn't bother to ask any questions until afterwards. Thanks in advance.
