    Can't get v6 running

    The reason I didn't uninstall BI5 first is I wanted to make sure v6 worked. I didn't want to be without my cams. I still haven't uninstalled it but I will in a couple of days, having run into problems initially I still a little gun shy. I will give kudos to BI tech support, they've always been...

    Can't get v6 running

    Thanks. :) Blue Iris support got me straightened out. It seems that I forgot to stop the v5 service before running v6. After stopping it, v6 ran as it should and the 2 Dahua cams started working so all is well. blue Support didn't know what the $9.99 was for either so apparently AI strikes out...

    Can't get v6 running

    I've run into several issue and now I'm left with a program that automatically closes after a few second. Also, 2 of my Dahua cams have stopped working and I can't troubleshoot unless I can get v6 to stay running. Also, i saw no medntion of the $9.99 I need to pay according to Google AI. I've...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    As far as I can tell they are genuine Dahua even tho they're not branded as such.

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

    Mine is outside, it can make all the noise it wants. Anybody close enough to hear it is getting their picture taken and I doubt they'll complain. Seriously, I've never heard a thing coming from mine.

    Mine has been awesome. The image quality and mega zoom never ceases to amaze me.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Yea, it would be great for that as it's ultra low power.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Thanks, yea, Google AI said pretty much the same thing. said it would run but would struggle. I've decided not to use it for BI. I was dirt cheap, $40 brand new factory sealed so I'm not out much. I'll repurpose it for another use. I'm currently running BI on a Xeon E3 1270v4 and it handles BI...

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Bought this thing off eBay. It's a regular computer running an Intel J6426 (4 core 4 thread 2.00GHz, Turbo 3.00GHz) with 16GB of ram. It has 2 independent 8 port POE switches which get their own network port from the computer. I have verified that everything works (with one cam anyway). I'll...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    The camera I ordered from Amazon just arrived and it's a genuine, factory sealed Hikvision so I guess it's not too bad. I ordered this for 2 reasons, one to check out a POE NVR I just bought and 2 to use as a hallway cam. It was cheap so I'm not really expecting much. I'm sure I'll have to deal...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I ordered one from Amazon, Real HD is the brand. I fully expect to be disappointed. In fact, looking at the reviews, it doesn't really matter which brand I chose I'll be disappointed. :banghead:
