    Thanks, I've finally got it running using OpenVPN. I must have got in a tangle with my router settings. I did a factory reset and started again and got it set up very quickly with no issues.

    Many thanks. I'll give it a go.

    Does anyone have a link to a definitive tutorial for setting up secure Web Server access to BI using UI3, please?

    https:// or http://

    I've been trying to set up Web Server access (using STunnel) and have nearly got there. My issue is that I can only get in using http:/80.193.abc.d:8xxx/login.htm and I feel I should be using https. Where do I start looking!!? There are so many settings in both BI and my ASUS router that my...

    Problem setting Network Time Protocol (NTP)

    Update: I've found a setting DNS Server/Preferred DNS Server which was set to "8.8.8.8 " on the older cameras but blank on the newer ones. Having used the same setting on the newer cameras, NTP now tests successfully. Problem solved!

    Problem setting Network Time Protocol (NTP)

    I have 4 Hikvision DS-2CD2346G2-IU cameras. They are not quite identical as the older two have Firmware Version Property B-R-G3-0 and the newer two have B-R-G5-0. I wish to set the time using NTP (time1.google.com). The older cameras work fine. However the newer ones give the error message...

    Hikvision random (NO LONGER) frame rate changes

    Thanks. I've found (with great difficulty!) more-recent firmware, moving from 5.5.150_200927 to 5.5.160_210416 on both cameras. I did a factory restore on one camera (and re-entered all my settings) but not the other. I then cut the power (PoE) to both cameras and hey presto all the settings...

    Hikvision random (NO LONGER) frame rate changes

    I never did get to the bottom of this and it still happens. Despite saving the settings I want via the direct configuration page to the cameras, if I get a power outage they reset themselves to their original settings. PLEASE: Is there any way to prevent this? It seems daft!

    Hikvision random (NO LONGER) frame rate changes

    I had another power outage this morning and, guess what, both cameras reset themselves again. This is unlikely to be a coincidence. So, I've set about testing by cutting & restoring power backwards through my system: Individual cameras PoE switch Router Blue Iris PC (Power down) Blue Iris PC...

    Hikvision random (NO LONGER) frame rate changes

    I have 2x Hikvision DS-2CD2346G2-IU IP cameras. I set them both to 20 FPS and a few days ago and haven't touched their configurations since. I've just discovered that one has reset itself to 4 FPS and the other to 10 FPS. Also other settings such as bitrates and video encoding have also...

    Convert/export to BVR?

    I still can't work this out. Can anyone assist me, please?

    Convert/export to BVR?

    Thanks, but I must be missing something. BI help says: "BVR and AVI are considered "input" formats, while MP4 and WMV are considered "output" formats. You may convert an input format to an output format. In addition, you may trim an AVI file to an output AVI file, or convert a BVR file to an...

    Convert/export to BVR?

    I can see how to convert/export a clip to AVI, MP4, wmv, etc. but I'd quite like to edit a section of video to BI's own .bvr format (e.g. to save 5 minutes of interest from 8 hours of inactivity). Is this possible? (I like BI's playback functionality).
