    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    I've created a Windows task whereby every Monday morning (7.34 am) the computer shuts down and re-starts, then Blue Iris resumes.. I've also had a few power failures over the last four years, and after power failures the computer turns back on and Blue Iris resumes. I'm wondering if the user...

    MyCommerce/Digital River meltdown

    I reckon you should contact Blue Iris directly, but I just clicked my 'upgrade/renew' button and the links took me to a site 'buy.stripe.com'. I have version 5.9.9.3

    IPC-T541R-AS - Smart motion detection conflicts with the smart plan - can't turn it on

    The IPC-T541R-AS 3.6mm from Andy is my newest camera. I can't turn on the 'Smart Motion' in order to configure the IVS. I can't even see references to IVS at the moment. Every time I attempt to enable the 'Smart Motion Detection' a message pops up claiming there is a conflict with the...

    New Dahua model for Australia - 2549 PRO (local version of 2449 PRO)

    @MaxMad, another Aussie here, I can vouch for Andy at EmpireTech. I purchased all my 5442's from him over the years, and not a problem. My last purchase was a few weeks ago; delivery was 7 days as they are shipped from Hong Kong (I believe).

    MyCommerce/Digital River meltdown

    My 2 cents worth, not that it adds any value, but at least paying by Paypal, I was able to cancel the automatic renewal that occurs in January.

    Blue Iris not processing external triggers (Dahua/Andy cameras)

    Thank you very much; that did the trick, and now receiving external alerts for the camera. Now I need to do the same for the remaining cameras. UPDATE: Yes, for all cameras, Blue Iris now receives the external triggers.

    Blue Iris not processing external triggers (Dahua/Andy cameras)

    Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. On checking the log screen, a series of 'Event Subscriptions' constantly streaming in with the message code "Event Subscriptions: 00002efd" against all cameras. To clarify what I've changed: 1. Changed cameras back to Generic/ONVIF (from Dahau)...

    Thanks, it worked, it got rid of the yellow triangle and now I'm just waiting for a car to drive past, could be a while, it's a quiet street.

    Blue Iris not processing external triggers (Dahua/Andy cameras)

    This has been bothering me for quite a while now. My Blue Iris setup is not receiving any external triggers from my Dahua (Andy 5442) cameras. As of a few days ago, if I activated the 'Get ONVIF trigger events' I ended up with a yellow triangle symbol at the top of every sub-stream...

    All my cameras/NVR problems

    Ok, change your SD card, at least confirm that it's not a faulty card. Or, delete all or most files from the card, see if that works. Check your camera settings, is there a switch/button/option to overwrite existing footage on the SD cards? Do you have a manual for your camera?

    All my cameras/NVR problems

    I don't understand what you mean by 'blow away'. Seems like you need a network switch, give yourself more ports. You can buy cheap or go as expensive as you like.

    All my cameras/NVR problems

    I can't answer all your questions, but I've just checked my Dahua 'Auto Reboot' and then a date/time panel appears. Why not test this yourself, set it to, in 10 mins, at least check if the camera re-boots. If it does, then schedule it every so often. I don't know if this addresses your...

    Cameras keep going forward an hour

    Yes, setup your local computer as the time server, use the NetTime program referred to a few posts above, then in each camera settings enter the IP address of your local computer, the port number should be 123. It should work, it works for me. Caveat, I don't use a traditional NVR, I'm a...

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    FWIW, I terminated all my lines with RJ45's and they plug into the patch panels. I have not had any issues with the setup in over 3 years when I first set up my system. The beauty is that I can remove them at will, if they were punched down I couldn't, well, not easily anyway.

    Question about A/V closet Ethernet terminations

    For space reasons, you could consider a vertical wall mounted patch panel rack system. Example here.

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    I'm setting up a system for my daughter's house, so this is my first time working with dual LAN cards. I've got to say, I followed the instructions at the start of this thread and it all just worked. I can throw a brand new camera on the switch, initialise it, change the IP and more or less...

    We went back an hour - damn, the system is good

    I've been using Blue Iris coupled with Dahua (Empire Tech) cameras for the last 3 - 4 years, with the Blue Iris computer being the time server for the cameras. I use NetTime program to update the computer every hour, each camera checks in on the Blue Iris computer every 10 minutes. All I...

    I appreciate the links to Home Depot, but as an aside, Home Depot block Australian visitors to their site. Firing up the vpn server gets me there, but regardless, I can figure out the products that you're posting.

    Hack required - how to unscrew screw when allan key doesn't grip

    It's the right tool, as I used it for another camera, same model. Having said that, the first one I tried the end of the tool came off, lodged in the thread. Had to use a magnet to get it out.
