    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    Can't most installers probe for the presence/version of a required framework, and then prompt the user to install said framework at installation time?

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    At one end of the spectrum: "Mr. Skip Jones, father of Chip Jones, quarterback, see that camera up there? It's recording, so don't do anything stupid." At the other end: "If it please the court, this 100x zoomed video clearly shows that Mr. Skip Jones is not wearing his contact lenses, and...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Yup. Here's a still photo through an 10.5mm Nikkor (Nikon) fisheye, straight out of my camera: and here are my cropping options after de-fishing it in Photoshop to make straight lines straight: and the final crop that I ended up using: You can see much of the original image I've lost...

    Newbie here, coming from dreaded Reolink. Educate me

    Yes, their marketing is utter crap, and bordering heavily on fraudulent, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Their doorbell cameras are a good value, and I've been using my PTZ BeeCamera for nearly 7.5 years, although not without issues. I've replaced a few of my Reolink turrets...

    Were you able to add the new AndyCams to your Reolink NVR?

    Could View Changelog also be added to the UI3 Update dialog box?

    I found it at C:\ProgramData\Blue Iris\temp Note that ProgramData is usually hidden, so you can't browse to it. You need to type it into the path bar.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I haven't used any Ubiquti cameras before; do they play nicely with BI and other 3rd-party NVR/NVR software? I know some Ubiquit stuff (but not all) likes to be closed-system. Those product pages are silent on RTSP/ONVIF.

    You may be able to both 1) test a new camera with the Reolink NVR and 2) test the new camera with BI. Depending on how your network and NVR are set up you may also be able to do the same with all of your existing cameras.

    I'm not suggesting that you want to access the RLN8-410 from the BI PC; I'm suggesting that you want to access the cameras from both the RLN8-410 and from the BI PC. An easy way to check is to attach any old laptop or PC to the POE ports of the NVR and see if you get an IP address. If yes, then...

    Depending on which NVR model you have, it looks like you can run cameras from both the NVR and from a BI PC. From their setup guide, Method 3: if you plug a camera into the POE Switch instead of directly into the NVR, it should be accessible from both. If I'm reading that correctly.

    Newbie here, coming from dreaded Reolink. Educate me

    Depending on how your current NVR works, it may be possible to run your NVR and BI in parallel, with both systems seeing all of your camera, which will allow you to really compare the two experiences. If your NVR doesn't "hide" your cameras inside its own private network, then both the NVR and...
