    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    My VLANs are setup with 1 way communication i.e main VLAN can access cam VLAN but not the other way around. I'm able to access all my cams webUI from my main VLAN, this is why I was thinking of isolating it further. This isn't a dedicated BI server so it can't be entirely on the cam VLAN with...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    I've been slowly improving my network and skills. I run Blue Iris on my media server that is on my main LAN, all cameras are on a dead VLAN already but have been thinking about adding a second NIC to my media server for BI. Would it make sense to add a second NIC and bind it to the camera VLAN...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    I turned on overlay and then turned it off for each camera just to be sure. I don't see the overlay in the BI Console or WebUI but it shows up when an alert it sent to my email. I'm able to enable/disable when exporting a video but cannot find the option to turn it off when I get an email from...

    Time overlay messed up

    It seems whenever I export a clip from BI from a camera using h265 it messes up the time overlay. The video otherwise is fine its just the overlay, recording or playback in BI are all fine its only occurs on export. I am not using BI overlay but rather the built in Camera overlay. If I check...

    Does ADC2W work with BI

    Yep i see that article as well but the reviews where confusing and some of them are from Armcrest themselves saying rtsp etc does not work. It looks to be the same camera as the Dahua c26 and Imou looc

    Does ADC2W work with BI

    This looks like the perfect camera for the purpose i need but the Amazon reviews have mixed results regarding Blue Iris, anyone know if it works? I know wifi is not preferred, but i don't have an option for its location and I'm not to worried as all my main cameras are poe anyways.

    lens size and blindspot

    Maybe I'm wrong but it seems excessive already with the amount of cameras I have pointing to the street at different angles, but I did plan for this by running extra cables but was hoping to avoid it.

    lens size and blindspot

    I understand getting a 2.8mm lens will give a wider viewing angle but will it also have less of a blindspot than a 3.6mm lens? If I approach one of my cameras at about 2 feet I disappear from view, this isn't much of a problem if I approach head on. The problem I run into is if someone goes...

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    Silly question, i mounted the bracket for this pointing straight towards the street in my soffits but didn't take into account for positioning as i thought i would be able to adjust afterwards. I need to rotate the camera about 45 degrees to the left so that it's not point straight at the...

    Recommend 2 way Turret camera

    I saw that one after posting on here, was hoping for a 4MP camera but this should work for my porch. Can i keep the alarm disabled but have the led light turn on with motion at night? The led light will be handy during the night.

    Recommend 2 way Turret camera

    Any good 2 way audio Dahua cameras? Looking for a turret camera for the porch, bonus but not required would be tilit/pan. I have a Armcrest IP4M-1051B and it actually works great for a porch cam but it's not PoE or outdoor rated anything similar? Using BI as my NVR but will use iDMSS Plus for...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Noticed Batch config tool and the other hik app has more options but they get hidden after a few seconds. Also noticed upnp and multicast settings are different which may explain why google cast or Alexa support work on day Nellys firmware.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    No problem, the apps and QR code or serial number all work with no errors however they all failed to connect to the DBs wifi as they all try to connect to the EZVIZ SSID which I no longer have. I deleted the DB from the hik app prior to reset anyways. I'll try and drain the battery and see if...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I think i fudged it some how, I tried the hik app, and laview app. It shows up with a laview ssid but won't accept the password. The laview app is actually quite good it copies the proper password etc but it still fails to connect. I tried registering using the serial number, it then asks for...

    Various ways, i actually have a VLAN setup that drops all WAN traffic. You could also put these devices outside the dhcp range and setup up firewall rules.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Any reason why your using the ezviz firmware? The laview or nelly seems like the best one do to onvif support. Does the PIR sensor work with BI and ONVIC FW?

    Best Tablet to View Cams

    I have an old Nexus 7 that I installed TinyCam on and use that, curious to know why you all use UI3 for an always on device? I really like UI3 and use it on my PC and Shield TV when I need to, but for an always on device I would rather not use the BI servers resources.

    Getting Intel Quick Sync to work with Blue Iris (Settings & Troubleshooting)

    I've been having a hard time to get quicksync to work, i'm on Windows Server 2016 headless, so can't use any of the DCH drivers. Everything works as long as I keep BI open or just disable HW decoding altogether, even setting the lowest quality UI3 would complain my connection is not fast...
