    How to pause a preset?

    Is there a way to pause a preset location in BI? For instance, if I have a day and night preset for a ptz camera, but I would like to manually pan it, the preset would move the camera back to the preset location. Any way to pause this temporarily? Thanks

    Dahua Infrared Illuminator?

    Anyone have experience with the Dahua DH-PFM510 or DH-PFM511 illuminator? Came across them on AE, but couldnt find much info on them. Not even sure these are IR because the description says color temperature 5500k-6500k. Dahua DH PFM510 15W Customized Outdoor WaterProof Mini LED Infrared IR...

    Small vs Large LED in IR Illuminators

    Would like to add a wide angle IR illuminator for my driveway. I've seen illuminators with fewer, but larger LEDs and some with more, but smaller LEDs. What are the differences between the two? Is one more design more desirable?

    Corridor Mode and Aspect Ratio

    I've never had a reason to use corridor mode until now. On the IPC-HDW5231R-Z, when I set the video to 90 degrees, the image is stretched out; both in Blueiris and the camera's own live view. Any way to correct this? Thanks

    Configuring Alerts Folder Settings?

    Not sure what happened, but all of my alerts disappeared. I don't recall making any changes. Even for current alerts, I get the notifications via text and BI app, but when I try to access the clip, it's not there. As I trigger the motion alert, I see the image of the alert pop up in the alert...

    Highlights and Rectangles

    A couple questions regarding the highlight and rectangle option. 1. Wanted to confirm that highlights and rectangles DO NOT work with direct-to-disc recording. I'm still playing around with this function and it looks like highlight/rectangle works in the snapshot image and live view, but not in...

    Looking for Old Update File (4.4.6.3 x64)

    I'm still on version 4.4.6.3 x64 and would like to update to the current version. Thanks to fenderman's tip, I will now be downloading the update file from the BI site (going forward) so I have the older version to roll back to, if needed. Before I attempt to update to the current version, does...

    Stunnel Start as a Service?

    When I first installed Stunnel, it was working fine and would start up as a service automatically after rebooting the machine. Not sure what happened along the way of configuring BI, but I didn't touch the Stunnel settings, and now Stunnel won't start up automatically. I have to click on...

    Aliexpress Alternative

    I purchased five IPC-HDW4431C-A cams on ebay from wholesalecctvpro a while ago and was waiting to see if this seller was reliable. He upgraded shipping to DHL for free (think if you order a few, he'll upgrade for free). Ordered on 10/31/16 and received on 11/7/16. Super fast and good...

    Framerate FPS Setting

    I'm trying to understand the difference between the FPS setting in the camera's setting vs the FPS setting in BlueIris. I assume they should be set the same, but I can't tell if there's any negative effect with them being set differently.

    Christmas Laser lights & Cameras

    The kids love those laser light projectors that illuminate the exterior of the house with thousands of speckles. Am i just asking for trouble with the cameras? My cameras are mounted on the outside corners of the house, but i don't think theres an easy way to direct the laser scatter.

    Mounting on Vinyl Siding

    Any one try using one of these mounts for cameras attached to vinyl siding? Looks like there should be just enough space to hide the cables and/or the poe splitter. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Builders-Edge-6-625-in-x-6-625-in-001-White-Surface-Mounting-Block-130110006001/100684069

    IPC-HDW4421EM-AS Turret Cam

    Any one experience with this Dahua cam, IPC-HDW4421EM-AS? I was trying to compare it to the IPC-HDW4431C-A (which is similar to the 4421C-A) that many here are using. Looks like the only difference is the 4421EM-AS has a 50m rated IR and a built-in SD card slot vs the 4431C-A/4421C-A's 30m...

    Camera Mounting Suggestions

    I have a huisun/imporx mini ptz that i wanted to install on the white vertical panel under the eaves. I wanted to install the cam to a junction box attached to the house, so that if i had to replace the camera with something else down the road, I wouldn't have to drill more holes into the...

    Tapcon Screws vs Sleeve and Anchor for Brick Wall Installation

    I plan to install a turret cam onto an exterior brick wall. I will attach the cam to a generic junction box so that if I decide to swap out the camera at a later point in time, I could simply re-drill holes into the lid. I originally wanted to go with the junction box designed for the camera, in...

    DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A audio problems

    Just got mine today and when I view it through the cam's UI, I'm getting a loud hum. Doesn't matter what codec I select or enabling/disabling the noise filter. Tried adjusting the microphone input volume and it didn't help either. If I turn it down, it barely picks up audio. When I view it...

    Looking for Front Door Cam (DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A or DH-IPC-HDW4421C-A)

    I'm looking for a cam for the front door. I would like audio built-in and it needs to be at least IP66 rated because it will be mounted without any cover above. I really like the little black face PTZ, but it won't work for this outdoor application. I've narrowed my search down to the...

    BlueIris Setting Questions

    I just setup the mini ptz with BlueIris using mostly default settings. PTZ and viewing the vid remotely is working fine, however, I noticed that when I changed the camera's password, BI is still picking up the video feed when I haven't updated the password in BI. I confirmed the password was...

    Options for Termination Cables

    I don't have any experience terminating cables. I'm most likely going with cat6 cable for the 23awg vs cat5e's 24awg. Here: http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10234&cs_id=1023401&p_id=8104&seq=1&format=2 I was looking at these connectors, but the reviews don't seem very good...
