    Cameras keep dropping offline and coming back seconds later

    I just replaced my old hardware with a new system. Basically a rip/replace with same IP, network config etc. Everything worked great except that my cameras keep randomly dropping out all at once for about 5 seconds and then reconnecting. It is a dedicated hardwired network (access via wireless...

    vpn recommendations for BI

    In reading the new version notes it mentioned a suggested VPN service for secure access. I cannot find it again and wondering if someone can point me to the information. My primary need is because my NAT/PAT gets screwed up frequently for some reason. I think it is from gaming on my network...

    can you flip the image on DS-2CD2F42FWD-IWS?

    I am not ready to mount this camera yet so I was wondering if there was a setting to flip the image so I can set it on something rather than hang it. I cannot seem to find it if there is. Thanks DS-2CD2F42FWD-IWS

    Alarm systems and triggering cameras

    It would be nice if there were some IP based triggers from an alarm system to start a camera recording (Blue Iris). Our area is getting a bit more breakins lately. I'd like to initiate all camera recordings upon an alarm system event. I guess I can see about tying them into my PC via com ports?

    Update installed, now BI Admin won't start.

    I just rebooted my BI server and when I launched the admin it asked to install update - 4.2.2 I think. I let it install and when it was done, I got this error trying to launch console. I rebooted to no avail. Service is running and I can access the server via my phone app so I know it is OK...

    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    I replaced some bullet cameras with the new HV 2342s and while the images are much clearer, the arrangement of the IR on this turret is obviously different from what I had. The placement here is the corner of my house covering the left side of my house. What would you do to resolve this IR...

    camera won't trigger

    i have an issue with one camera (4 on my test setup currently) that won't seem to trigger and record on motion detection. am i correct in that as i have read all motion detection happens in software so camera settings on the camera itself are a non factor? (reasonably speaking). if so, i have...
