    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    If you want a sub folder created in the main directory try the setting to save in child directory and then specify the name for the subfolder. That field is confusing because it is not asking for a folder location like c:\\users\matt but rather asking for the name of the directory itself which...

    Run program/script not working

    I made a powershell script to tell an Arduino Uno Microcontroller to fire a relay to trigger a siren. However it does not open the script when these AI conditions are met. However no program opens and the arduino does not get any commands from the powershell script. What am I doing wrong...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    So you dont see this ad when you open the side menu? I agree it isnt that annoying, but the an orange notification badge that appears next to the hamburger icon at random times of the month to remind you to check out this "reolink captures" crap. There is also a banner in the home screen that...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I've had 3 of these reolink doorbell cameras and they all stop working after around a year. They also cannot handle critism when I complained about why there are ads in the app and try to say it's a "you issue". Fuck these schmucks

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Yeah the reolink app is garbage and it has ads in it and when you bring this up on their reddit page they ban you for it. Go figure.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I thought you forfeit the ability to use two way comms with these doorbell cams on Blue Iris? Either way these are garbage cameras and Unify makes a way better POE doorbell cam. The 2/3 Reolink doorbells I had all failed within a year and they were all installed properly

    How is a VPN more secure than port forwarding?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't VPNs require port forwarding as well? Can't you just set a strong password for Blue Iris instead of having to go through all the challenges with using a smart phone + VPN + Blue Iris? The app is already problematic enough without the VPN (sometimes the app...

    UI3 - Click anywhere to begin streaming

    This prompt happens because autoplay isnt enabled for the site. Just happened to me now and this fixed it. Its not a blue iris issue, it's just how websites and browsers interact these days.

    Why doesn't Blue Iris sell hourly consulting services?

    I'm using code project but I can't figure out how to ignore static objects on my ptz cameras that use patrol zones. That's my current dilemma. Their support is also crickets right now which means I probably asked them (I mean "Ken", the only guy there apparently) too many questions. This is...

    Is it possible to set up zones for a PTZ that is on a patrol zone?

    I want to set up trigger zones on a PTZ that is cycling a couple presets in my backyard every minute. The problem is I don't think BI is capable of understanding which preset the camera is in when the patrol zone is done on the camera end. Btw Why is the screen blank when selecting the preset?

    Why doesn't Blue Iris sell hourly consulting services?

    This software is so complicated and hard to set up properly (as in not getting false AI detection constantly) that they can probably give away this software for FREE and then charge $100 an hour to set it up! They would probably be making a killing off of that. I mistakenly bought the...

    Need help setting up static object analysis

    It looks like I had to hit the analyze button and wait a few seconds. Here is what came up. Did I do this right?

    Need help setting up static object analysis

    This is all I see when configuring static object analysis. Am I missing something? It's just a blank screen

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    Because that is their "official" group, so by extension all of those mods are official voices of the company.

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    Look at how the reolink mods talk. Then Google "ipcan talk" and look at the hilarious interactions with Big Mike. I will give him credit though. In most cases the person he is arguing with is usually a dumbass, but I think a little compassion goes a long way whether you are running a reddit...
