    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...

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

    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?
