Hello all, First time posting, and a rookie BI user. My goal here is to get my notifications dialed in, but I have been trying quite a few things and I haven't had any luck, so here I am! My goal is to have any motion in Zone A (My front yard) alert and send a push notification to my phone, and...

I installed this camera about 6 months ago and configured it with no problems. I went in today to change some IVS settings and I keep getting a "save failed" error. I also have a Dahua NVR, DHI-NVR608-32-4KS2, but I always program the cameras by directly accessing their IP address through a...

Hello everyone, I want to first thank everyone that shares so much knowledge on this forum. I am a rookie when it comes to the IP Cam world and spending time on this website has helped immensely. I just purchased cameras from Empire Andy and finished the installation on my home. Learning how to...

Hi there! I post this information here in case someone else is experiencing the same problem. Who knows, with a little bit of luck maybe someone can suggest a solution. I prefer to set encoding for both the main strean AND the substream to H.265 and and I want to have the Iframe interval set to...

Hello folks, I have been trying to set up Blue Iris Tools so that every time it starts up the default units are in Metric System instead of Imperial. I have been looking into settings.ini and tried to change "units" to 1 or F=°C to °C=F , but no success. Here you have the section which may be...

We have a theft problem on our street I had an older turret camera and caught the guys but could not see there faces, so I read up and up graded. The shot is down a drive way it about 70feet to the street and camera is up against the house. I have tried every possible configuration, and its...

camera works fine for 10-15s, then has 2-3s of noise. Not always, but most often like this. dahua 4631c turret I'm pretty sure it did this before I installed it, so I think it is the camera.... it is also from ebay, chinese I think. But I also had to run my cat5e in the vicinity of AC power...

Hello all. I'm unable to access my swann cameras using blueiris. The first two images are from my DVR's settings. The next image is the settings for blue iris. If anyone could help me, I would be incredibly grateful.

Hi, I have generic Chinese camera, 1080p PTZ 18x zoom. I wanted to set it as LPR camera but changing exposure mode does not change anything! I was able to turn down AE so that I can read LP quite OK (with tape over IR sensor to force IR mode) but I have no idea how to actually turn down...

Hello everyone, At Options > Web Server > Advanced > Configure. At Advanced we have a Profile setting, having as options: default baseline main extended high high 10 What's the meaning of them?

I have noticed with HLC on, super bright areas or light sources in the scene get blacked out (for example car headlights that are blacked out), however I have seen footage where HLC does not do this, it simply dims the light source in the scene. Is this possible to adjust to achieve this?

Hi, I have a couple of the Dahua Ultra Series HAC-HFW3231E-Z cameras. In the camera's OSD's "Main Menu" under "Exposure" there are the following menu items: Exposure Mode. I have set it to "Auto" and then turned "Low motion blur" on (this should in fact increase the shutter speed if I am not...

Hi All, Hoping someone can give me some pointers here while I trial the Blue Iris software. Apologies for the long post but just wanted to make sure I cover everything! I currently use a Hikvision NVR for all my CCTV needs with 1 bullet and 2 dome camera's. My NVR is the DS-7604NI-E1 / 4P...

I'm using a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I camera. I've searched and found a few topics briefly discussing the Capture Mode setting but none of them provide any real clarity of what the purpose of this setting is. I don't get how it's different from the resolution and frame rate that you can set under...

Hello everyone, I just finished setting up my 6 camera Hikvision system and I was hoping for some guidance on best practice settings and a few other items. This setup is for a residential site, however I have a 1TB data cap (Cox sucks) so I need to make sure I keep this in mind. And I...

Hi everybody, So far, I could not find an answer to my specific problem: I have a small sailing boat on a Greek island and would like to keep an eye on it using a wifi camera. There is a little taverna nearby who kindly provide the network password to their customers of who I am a regular. My...

We have overnight nursing for a family member and about year or so ago we used BI to record overnight and confirm some activity we thought was happening. We have reason to do that again but are not familiar enough with BI to see what we seem to be doing differently. We have a total of 8...

Pardon me for making my first post a question, but I don't seem to find the answer anywhere prior to installation. I have been running BI V3 for a couple years; very good product. I have delayed trying V4 until now. But now I have purchased the upgrade to V4. My question is whether to...

I was wondering if there was a way to create camera settings templates when adding cameras - essentially standardizing certain attributes like what a camera will do when triggered, what notifications it will send and to whom, fps, bitrate, how video is encoded, etc. I don't think there is any...

Been reading a lot of the pro\con thread for both NVR and BI. My question is, do they inherently provide the functionality in a completely different manner? Correct me if I'm not understanding properly but here is my assumption: It sounds like when using a NVR for controlling all the settings...

Had some sort of "glitch" and all my cameras stopped working in BI. After playing around trying to bring them back online without success, I re-booted the router and they came back. But, the "Settings" icon (gear) in the android app is greyed out and I can't arm the cameras remotely anymore. Is...

I have poured thrugh every thread here I can find and I cant seem to resolve this. I can get a daytime image from a clip that is perfect and almost can make out bumperstickers and plates from an image of cars going by at almost 90 degrees 40ish feet away. I dont expect to get plates but the...

I bought two BI licences for 2 computers. One is the master/recorder. How do I transfer all the settings? Instead of doing manually One of the folders contains all the settings? Regards

Hi I have six Hikvision cameras. Five DS-2CD2332-I type and one DS-2CD2032-I. All of them have version 5.2.5 firmware. My NVR is a Hikvision DS-7608NI-SE/P 4 (firmware 3.10 - latest) and each cam is connected to a Netgear POE Switch. The above run well except.... This bit is driving me...

Hi, I'm setting up Blue Iris for a friend, he has 4 Hikvision IP cameras. So far I've installed the trial version of the software and got it set up to record on motion detection, and send an email with 4 images in that are spaced 2 seconds apart. The motion detection aspect of it is working...

4.0.2.3 - March 20, 2015 Tweaks have been made to AAC settings to help prevent crashes some users experience with this format. You have the option of switching to MP3 format instead for audio recording to MP4 files. This is done from the Record tab, format, recording profile window. If you...

I did a quick search around the forum and using Google, but I'm mostly at a loss. When it comes to camera settings, I really suck at it. All our cameras are Hikvisions (DS-2CDxxx2) - a mix of dome, bullet and exir bullet. I've set the configurations about the same for each. At first I was...

Hi, Thought I'd share a few solutions from an only somewhat technical person. I have the Samsung Smartcam Pro running outdoors, and using Blue Iris software. The cam is not on the BI list so I had to set it all up (select the RTSP H.264/MJPG/MPEG4). It took me a while. Then once I set it up, I...
