    Cant view srcam in BLue Iris

    Scroll down the discussion and look for the files that end with .rar. They are kind of like ZIP files, in that they contain compressed versions of other files. Download the .rar file(s) and among the things you should find are several files ending with .bin - those are the firmware files. One...

    Cant view srcam in BLue Iris

    I found the link in this forum discussion: http://club.dx.com/forums/forums.dx/threadid.1378318 It was indeed the EXACT same version of firmware that came installed on my Sricam AP005. I had no problems installing it. And it restored my camera to working condition. My disappointment with...

    Cant view srcam in BLue Iris

    Just in case it helps someone else, I did find the oem firmware for my Sricam AP005. It exists in the discussion on http://www.dx.com/pt/p/qgs-ipc031-waterproof-wireless-outdoor-720p-h-264-ip-camera-w-42-ir-led-5x-optical-zoom-white-300229 As it happens, the QGS-ipc031 camera is an identical...

    Cant view srcam in BLue Iris

    Well - I bricked my Sricam AP005. Entirely my fault. Was trying to resolve some intermittent problems with the AP005 when I happened upon a web site featuring the IPCC 7210W camera. In Blue Iris, I had used the IPCC 7210W driver with good results - which got me thinking... Visually the...

    My Sricam AP005 camera works fine...until I enroll it into Blue Iris. Once Blue Iris is configured to control the camera, all is well for perhaps a day. At some point (perhaps when I use Blue Iris to reposition or zoom the camera), things go bad. Blue Iris suddenly and inexplicably cannot get...

    BI will not play a "clip" from remote access. Live video is fine.

    My VPN is now setup and working. I used the Windows Home Server 2011 system that contains my NAS drives. Turns out that WHS has a VPN capability built right in. Setup was as easy as following the bouncing ball after finding the web instructions. I am now at work and just setup my workstation...

    BI will not play a "clip" from remote access. Live video is fine.

    I may give this a try. We use a VPN for remote access to our work LAN via a SonicWall firewall. I've not given any thought to doing something like that at home...but it is an interesting suggestion. Our work VPN uses a rather long PSK rather than a certificate. I'll have to bring myself up...

    BI will not play a "clip" from remote access. Live video is fine.

    I have the latest BI download (as of Sep 21, 2014) running on a Windows Home Server with 3 cameras installed (Airsight, Cisco, and Sricam). All cameras are working. The Sricam is configured in BI as a FOSCAM MPEG because the Sricam AP005 choice was troublesome. Everything was working...

    Cant view srcam in BLue Iris

    If you grow weary of the erratic behavior of the Sricam AP005 in BI, try defining it as a FOSCAM MJPEG camera. It worked for me. My only issue now is the lack of a focus button in BI for this camera. It doesn't do autofocus, so when accessing via BI the zoom feature isn't useful. Perhaps this...

    SriCam AP005 control problem.

    After living with the Sricam AP005 camera for a while I have grown weary of the erratic performance. I took neo's advice and switched to the FOSCAM MJPEG driver. The camera immediately started working and I hope remains stable. For the money ($162 each) I think the Sricam is a good buy. But...

    SriCam AP005 control problem.

    I have two of the SriCam AP005 cameras and chose the Blue Iris camera driver that corresponds directly to it. Was able to correct the UP/DOWN control issue via the Blue Iris software where it allows you to "reverse" the action of those controls (there are also built-in options to reverse the...

    SriCam AP005 control problem.

    Thanks. I missed that... BTW - Thank you for your ongoing support for Blue Iris. It is so nice to be able to cobble together a rather extensive camera surveillance system from my variety of old IP cameras! So far I've got 4 working and another 3 to go. Only downside so far is that my wife...

    SriCam AP005 control problem.

    Just installed a new SriCam AP005 camera. Works great with latest Blue Iris except for one minor problem. The UP/DOWN controls work backwards. Is there a process I should follow to report this sort of software problem to Blue Iris? Thanks. -hawk
