    BI v 5.9.9.73 prompt for update; not updating

    I always install the latest critical/stable release over the latest and greatest. But, occasionally, like this week I'm prompted to upgrade to 5.9.9.73, which I've been on for a month or so. So, 1) Why does this occasionally happen that I'm being prompted to upgrade to a version that I'm...

    Dahua SD49225T-HN suggestions for mic connection

    Final post: Gotta say, the discovery to make this work should have happened months ago :( It turned out that I was using bare wire to bare wire to connect my microphones. I finally went out and bought a $1.99 wire adapter to RCA male adapter and properly connected it to the mic and camera...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Thanks. I will probably hold off since the Dahua fw doesn't have a wifi module (as far as I know) and the 858w does.

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Is it possible you have instructions you can lay hands on, or maybe a clue for me to search how to do this? Does it behave like a Dahua and what about the Dahua fw not having wifi, and the 858W having wifi (or are you using poe)? Thanks

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I matched Dahua's SD49225T-HN firmware (DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_IVS_V2.800.0000000.6.R.210705.bin) to my Amcrest IP2M-858W camera but wanted to know if anyone has tried to update. I really could use the intelligent analysis offered by the Dahua fw in my Amcrest but hoped someone...

    Recent windows updates causing BI 5.9.9.71 to stop working... help

    I feel certain I've tried that WAU manager program a year or two ago with no success, but will try again. Thanks. I'll also search for the Phison controller issue, which I'm not familiar with. Thanks.

    Recent windows updates causing BI 5.9.9.71 to stop working... help

    Would Love to but the best I can do is delay it for up to 5 weeks. I recall Microsoft turned on something a few years back that prevents users from doing just that indefinitely. Do you know a way to do this for Windows 11?

    Recent windows updates causing BI 5.9.9.71 to stop working... help

    In the past few weeks during my travels, I noticed occasionally my BI3 stopped working/recording and wouldn't even connect remotely. I would remote into the pc and see the pc wasn't locked up, just blue iris, so killing the task and letting it auto restart immediately fixed it (for awhile). I...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    No,it never got resolved. I contacted Andy several times and he said he was escalating this up but after a few months I gave up contacting him and just pulled the camera and got a different brand. It's a shame because of the money but it was just too annoying.

    Video card suggestions

    Wittaj, thanks for the detailed response. my cpu never maxes out, ever and I've never had BI console unresponsive. I think the highest I've ever seen it was maybe 24% but it rarely gets to 12% when I'm noticing. I do have HA (Intel) turned on all of my cameras but turned it off on all...

    Video card suggestions

    Would like to know if buying a video card would improve my overall BI viewing and recording experience when it comes to days where all 15 cameras are picking up a lot of activity (windy days; lots of tree limb and shadow movement). Most of the cameras I have are ethernet connected and those...

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    I tried the Tapo C100 and returned it because I think (now) I really want something where I can interface directly with the camera's GUI instead of having to use an app, as with the Tapo cameras. This is what I was trying to get away with my older Ezviz cameras; needing an app to make changes is...

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    Thanks for that write up, but I've read/re-read it and trying to understand why it's necessary to set up a TAPO account as part of the process to get it working with Blue Iris?

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    I need to replace two of my EzViz CS-CV200 cameras in my owl house and squirrel shack. I do like them because they are small and have magnetic bottoms but you must use an Windows or android app to manage them. They're not ONVIF. I would like to replace them with similar small ONVIF compatible...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    When I use a browser window to login to the camera's GUI, it takes about 8 seconds for the login screen to even appear. When I enter my login info it takes anywhere from 10-15 seconds to see my initial screen. If I use the camera's gui to move to a preset or move the camera with the direction...

    ugggh. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. But, I guess I could get my laptop and connect directly with that and the power supply that came with the camera?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Yes, it tracks fine, immediately when something crosses a tripwire for example. When I use PTZ presets manually some of them may take 5 seconds, some of them 11+ seconds and it's not always the same presets.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Actually I just turned it on very recently, in the last few days, right after I had to set everything back up from scratch. So this issue has been going on for 6-9+ months and was progressively getting to the point where it became unavoidably noticeable. The other day, as a test, I turned off...

    I actually bumped that up yesterday late afternoon to 12188 or something like that. Played with the camera for a bit but didn't see to make a difference in my case. Now this morning when I'm trying to login, my camera takes upward of a minute to get to the first screen after L & P which is a...

    Yes, I have similar settings and recording to a SD Card 256g Samsung Pro Plus, U3, V30, 4K (read 180mbs/write 130mbs) I have 4 IVS rules I'm not recording 24/7 to SD card, event driven only. see attached for settings.

    No. I never have. It's my understanding you do one or the other but not both.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Update: I have reset the camera (using the button by the SD card) twice. I was unable to restore the last backup I made before the Factory Reset, it gave me an error. So I had to set the entire camera back up again from the very beginning including IVS and tracking. Initially, after setting up...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Update: I'm in the process of factory resetting the camera. Already in third hour of starting to get things set back up. The configuration file I saved right before I reset, of course, wouldn't restore (failure?) so I'm setting everything back up. Real PITA but there are worse things in life...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I don't understand what you mean in the first part "factory terminated cable". Regarding hops, from the Windows pc, the ethernet goes directly to the managed poe switch, then from the same switch a cat 6e cable to the camera.

    I was afraid I'd have to FR and set up from scratch but maybe I can do a FR and try restoring first. Just hate setting everything back up, it took me a long time to get it right where AI stuff worked well. bleh :)

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    OK, so moving the camera from my managed switch was a fairly recent troubleshooting approach I did about 4 days ago. Prior to that I had the camera connected to my managed switch with priority set on that port. I thought moving it to my router would be more 'direct' but I understand your...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Normally I'd agree with a chokepoint or issue with LAN speed as a possibility, but I'm using a pretty high powered router (AX6000) and this particular camera is connected directly to the router. I reboot my router automatically weekly and when I test my google fiber speeds from various ports on...
