setup

I have a couple of DH-IPC-HDBW13A0EN-W cameras and have set up motion detection - which is SORT OF working...but I am only getting partial recording. I need help with configuration and I can't find clear guides/manuals. I am a newbie and don't even know what 'snapshot' means (just as an example...

I'll apologize in advance if this is too basic of a question but I'm hoping to get some consolidated help. :) I have two IPC-HDW5231R-Z that are finally going to arrive today. Up until now I've been 100% Hikvision but I'm excited to see the low light performance and capabilities and then...

Hello fellow members! I recently received my Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z - and I've been trying to figure out how to set them up. I've changed the IPs on all the cameras per instruction and changed the password. I can successfully login to each cam and adjust the various settings. That said, I'm...

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...

Hi guys, I bought the following setup for home and I'm very happy with this system: 1x DS-7604NI/4P 3X DS-2CD2135F-IS 1x DS-2CD2035-I I managed to put the whole system up (that was an achievement! lol). After reading several posts here and also reading the not-so-good Hikvision manual, I am...

Hi guys, sorry if this is not the correct subforum to post this. And sorry for the long post, I'm new to this and I want to do it right. I'm looking to upgrade an existing camera system for a relatively small business (it's a bar) with 2 locations. I've done my homework and I figured an Intel...

I have two Foscam FI9831P cameras, Blue Iris software and I want to add a recorder and two more cameras. Any suggestions? Should I just get a WD Purple drive and use this computer?

Evening, A friend of mine has just purchased a Hikvision DS-7608NI (8P), but is only using 5 of the channels. Ideally he would like to have the live vision only show the active / in use channels when it is in auto-switch. Does anyone know if this is possible to disable the channels not being...

Hello! I'm new here and probably doing something wrong:confused3::confused3:. I have done a few searches and thought I would risk abuse to find the right place to be. Here's the deal: I would like to set up a system with 2 high-quality cameras and 4-8 low-end cameras with independent power...

I am a newbie who after 3 days has learned much but am stuck on a few issues, compliments in part on the Chinglish manuals. I purchased from one store a DS-7808N-E2/8P (all my equipment is POE enabled HIKVision product from AliExpress) firmware V3.3.2build 150522 encoding v5.0 build 150507...

Hello, I have switched my software over to Blue Iris. It is not as easy as I thought to setup. I expected that it is a secure program and worth the time. I figured out I am going to have to change my router ip's etc. When I first plugged my cam in I thought it would auto config boy was I wrong...

Until know Blue Iris has covered all my needs required for a system that I was looking for. Obviously I have read a lot of posts at this forum and the "help". I have used a lot of features found (profiles, PTZ autocycle, etc) So thanks again for the software, the support and this forum ...

OK, so I'm a complete newbie and currently researching the camera setup I'm going to install in my Florida vacation home and I'm leaning towards a Hikvision setup - six 3MP cameras (still deciding which models, but likely to include the 2332 turret (to avoid IR reflection) and the 2532...

Has anyone been able to backup their recorded videos to the cloud? Specifically Google Drive? I have a NAS share setup and running fine, video is being recorded to a folder that Google Drive is monitoring. The problem is, there is no change to the video file when something new is recorded, it...

Hello All, Im a new BI user and I'm struggling with how I'm going to setup my profiles. It not that I don't understand how they work, it's more that there are so many possibilities. I was thinking it would be helpful if everyone would post a reply with how they have theirs setup. It might...

I am struggling getting the best possible recordings for both Day and Night while balancing that with system resources. Is there a guide (the camera help is not very helpful :rolleyes:) somewhere to help walk me through the process. There are so many choices with these camera's and in BI, seems...
