    Updated for March 2026 - Mode Switching for Web 4 and Web 5 Dahua Cams Have updated the camera day/night mode switching for Web 4 and Web 5 cameras. What has been removed is the need to update camera Time Plan Settings (orange/purple block). Thanks to an IPC member, the correct API was...

    Using the API that works for Web 5 day/night mode switch and have the Web 5 cams set for "Customized Scene". However, using Hubitat and HTTP GET statements for cam day/night mode switching based on LUX and not time.

    With Web 5 cams it is possible to have finer control of when the camera switches between modes. In place of just day and night add general or custom 1 or custom 2 using time plan settings to make adjustments to shutter, gain, etc. The overall concern is that this is a time based solution that...

    Yes, agree that LUX is a good overall solution, but also at the same time a bit on the complex side to implement. No plug and play here! LUX in the daytime can reach over 100K. However, depending on placement of the north facing outside LUX sensor the units of interest are in the 100 to 300...

    It looks like your are using BI on Windows 11. Assume that when the day/night URL is placed in the BI browser FireFox address bar that the camera switches mode from day to night and the other way around. If yes, then this is a step in the right direction. The issue, which your are aware of, is...

    Simple is better. Here in the north country, the sun is now gaining close to 6 minutes per day. Thus a lower 48 solution does not work well here at the end of the trail.

    One way to get closer is to use LUX in place of a sunrise/set offset. This takes into account sunny vs cloudy days and switches cameras based on light intensity in place of time. More complex to setup - this is not a turn key solution.

    Issues with 192.168.0.9

    Check your Apple device and see what the current IP "new" address is. You know that the old one was in the range of 192.168.0.1 but the new one could be anything in the range of 192.168.1.1, etc. https://techzle.com/view-the-ip-address-ipv4-and-ipv6-of-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad You will have to...

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    Tested BI using a USB Network adapter on the desktop computer. Setup the adapter to access the subnet at 192.168.55.1. Used the IP address assigned by BI for UI3 and accessed at 192.168.55.28:81. Plus UI3 can also use the other IP address at 192.168.1.132:81 to view all connected cams. For the...

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    With BI look into using TailScale for remote camera monitoring using UI3. As point out above, uploading camera data to the cloud would be expensive. For my setup it would be about one terabyte per day.

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    I like to think of the RF Ubiquiti link as nothing more than a CAT5e cable between the two locations without POE. Agree on the use of VLANs and ACL. Was considering that option, but for the first run will go with the added NIC for the extra subnet. That will keep the power usage down as the...

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    Yes, the bind box was checked limiting BI to one IP. With it now unchecked, my .55 subnet is now showing. That is a PLUS for sure. Thanks for the how to. It is most appreciated!

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    Did some testing the last few days in regard to using the managed Cisco POE 24 port switch or the Dahua unmanaged 24 POE switch. Was concerned about the overall cost of power and ease of system implementation in spite of the advantage of adding a VLAN with the Cisco. The Cisco 3560G 24PS-S-V05...

    how can i view blue iris remotely?

    Have not had much luck with ZeroTier. However, have TailScale working 100% on both a cell and tablet. Plus it is free. If you do not have an internet connected computer one can also install the client on certain routers to access your LAN and UI3.

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    Will the person at the remote home location have to add a NIC to their computer set on the .56 subnet in order to access UI3? Can BI be setup to provide access to UI3 on both 192.168.56.1:81 and 192:168.1.132:81 (my home LAN) using the modified setup? i.e. Web Server > Local, internal LAN address
