Good job. Glad it worked out for you! I'm too scared still to try again.

Sorry to hear that. The one I bricked was my first camera and I was just learning the basics. Even after reading one of your excellent posts about upgrading and the chances of bricking the camera, I couldn't resist trying just so I could learn and see the new changes. I updated the firmware...

LOL, good catch and good idea. I was struggling with severe errors for that post. Missed that one.

Thank you for the clarification. That is a relief and I have no desire to update lol.....as I stare at my useless bricked paperweight on my desk :(

I purchased an IPC-T5442T-ZE that was already initialized out of the box. Andy told me to do a reset. I did and the camera is working. This camera is replacing the camera I bricked with a firmware update!! Question # 1: When you do a factory reset with the button on the camera, does that set...

Thanks for the clarification of what it should look like.

That is how the first scam cam came I think. At least there was a white wire tie loose in the bottom of the box. Not sure if it was heat-sealed or not. I don't think so. Thanks for the pics and confirmation.

Here we go again.... This is a 2 issue post. I received the replacement New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 today From Empire Tech that I ordered through Amazon. This one appeared packaged correctly with everything including 2 wrenches, the manual, and the waterproof connector. The previous scam camera was...

Thank you, Andy. Sorry you have to deal with these issues. I already ordered a replacement on Amazon and I will return this one as defective.

Thanks @JDreaming for pointing out E892DD was a Lorex model. It does have two different colored LEDs.

Makes sense even with the ideal process that Andy implements there is too many ways a return fails to get through the process. I have an IPC-T5442T-ZE coming tomorrow from Andy. So I am hoping it is correct. But now I know what to look for. Thanks for everyone's input.

Good call @wittaj. Looks like you are correct. The cable label looks obviously modified. I don't think the two different color LEDs are correct either? Lorex is on the base. No UP stamped on the cam housing. I assume it should have. I guess I'm not installing it tonight! efing thieves....I...

Purchased on Amazon and order says Sold by: EmpireTech-Andy Box Has correct model information along with Empire tech printed on the box. Silver tag on bottom of the cam has IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 printed on it but I did notice the mounting base plate has Lorex formed into the side of it.

New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech connected to Config Tool, shows Initilized right out of the Box. Shouldn't all new Cams require initialization so I can set up password etc? My previous cams from Andy required me to initialize them. Config tool also shows the Model as E892DD - Is that...

Ok, that makes sense. Good graphic to explain it. I have the cams on a VLAN that is blocked from all Internet access which is where I had the Bi Server located. I will have to change that so it has outgoing access and then I should be in good shape. Thanks again for your help. Very much...

OpenVPN server is running on a TP-link ER605 router. My understanding of the VPN was that push notifications would go through the VPN and having the Bi server get out to the internet was not necessary. If that is not the case then I will have to change the Firewall rules to allow access to...

Hello, I have spent many hours reading all the relevant posts I can find and trying countless changes, but I am at a loss and really would appreciate some help. BI 5.5.8 with Open VPN. Bi Pc blocked from access to the internet. I can view cameras with the Bi app on my Gallaxy S21 using Open...

Thank you wittaj, That is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for the detailed response!

Hello. I'm Setting up a Win10 pro machine with Blue Iris. I have read that it is best to disable Automatic updates and specifically automatic Driver Updates. So, do I need to disable both? What are most of you doing regarding the updates then? Periodically installing updates? If so, how...

Hello, Thankfully I found this site and I am impressed with the amount of information and help here. It's great to see so many people offering so much help to us who are just getting started. I still have much reading and studying to do, but I do have one question. If I am allowed to ask this...
