    Beta firmware for Reolink 842a and 823 16x cameras that have the delayed live feed issue

    Here is the firmware I got from Reolink that fixed the delayed live feed issue I had with these cameras when using either Blue Iris or even the official Reolink app for long periods of time (I have an android view station with the live feeds running non stop). Posting here instead of this...

    What Hikvision series camera would work best to capture vehicles (not license plates) at night?

    I already have LPR cameras from Hikvision with the ANPR technology built right into them. Now I want to see the vehicles driving down my road (even at night) so I can see what the make, model, and color of the vehicle is. I also want to be able to get a good shot of the driver too during the...

    Blue Iris wont run as a service - password issue

    Had same problem. I had to enable the actual built in windows administrator account, set the password, and use that. My local account would not work. The service would never start automatically.

    Reolink PTZ Torture Test

    I'm gonna be running it like this until it dies. Will let you know in a couple months when that happens. Also before you ask thats not weed. Those are 100 privacy shrubs that will grow 10 feet tall in no time. Been having issues with animals eating on them.

    Camera is disabled or not connected. Error code iVMS-4200.Video.C.exe[1602].) on Hikvision IVMS Client

    So I keep getting this error message every time I startup the client. Then after a couple seconds everything loads in. It only has a couple cameras connected to the NVR and I already reset it and reinstalled the client. Is this just how Hikvision software is?

    How insecure is port forwarding for Blue Iris if you have an incredibly strong password?

    But even if you have a VPN don't you need open ports? If so how does that change anything from just having a secure password?

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    So question about tailscale. I want my phone's traffic to go through the normal cellular network and not route back to my house for normal use. I am worried that having zero tier always on will do that and will cause latency. I am looking into VPN options now because after less than a week of...

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    But a VPN you would have to either keep running or disconnect it every time you are done with it. Not practical for mobile devices especially for end users that don't have the knowledge or want to have to do an additional step every time they want to check cameras. Having blue iris behind a...

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    https://chatgpt.com/share/1dc4a830-395e-4fb5-924a-ab52d47811a9 In short, having Blue Iris on a separate user account that does not have network access to the LAN (other than the router), and using a reverse proxy with 2fa authentication is basically 10/10 bullet proof and should function just...

    Blue Iris on VM

    Wouldn't having BI on a VM improve security since you could use a virtual firewall to block access to devices on your home network? In my case I use my VMS server for other things, but if you weren't you could also use windows firewall to do the same thing. That way if someone hacked the web...

    In UI3 is there a way to filter the timeline based on Human/Vehicle alerts?

    In both the Hikvision and Reolink client, there are options to filter the footage based on alerts in the timeline. Here is UI3. I dont see that option to do that. I am used to using the timeline instead of the clips so I find this to be more natural to use. Overall Blue Iris works so...

    How insecure is port forwarding for Blue Iris if you have an incredibly strong password?

    Doesn't Blue Iris have a password lockout feature like Hikvision if you fail too many times? Instead of using a VPN for my phone, I was thinking of just setting up windows firewall rules on an admin account (have blue iris installed on a non admin account), and restrict outbound traffic from...

    Hikvision NVR Freezing after adding 4K Reolink camera

    I have a Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4 / S 32 Channel Acusense NVR as well as the 8 channel version of it. Both become unresponsive in the NVR GUI whenever I add just one 4K PTZ Camera with the following stream settings. Changing the resolution down to 4MP (2304*1296 ) stops the unresponsiveness...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    I actually made that up because I don't want to have to go through explaining what I actually want to keep secret, and it is related to being naked. ANYWAYS. Good to know! There are actually better ways to have a secret camera than an IP camera sticking out of the ceiling. I actually have a...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    Actually I already did that. Chat GPT says its okay in my state as long as I am the one that films it. Now anyways, excluding Hikvision and the CCP, will there be any one else seeing these recordings? Because if so that would make it illegal for what I am doing.

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    Just picked up a 32 channel Acusense NVR on eBay for a steal (I know, Blue Iris is King but I want two way audio). I am worried that if they know the verification or QR code they can search for the device once it goes online. Does factory resetting it make a new code? I wouldn't think so...

    More Reolink recommendations from a professional youtuber.

    -Be prepared, be ReoUNlinked Yeah be prepared to use an app full of bloat popups when you need to check cameras at night when you hear strange noises. Also be prepared to get banned for complaining about anything on their Reddit group. I may be responsible for why that now happens. Also...

    Your idea about future of CCTV

    The future is going to be drones flying everywhere with cameras and CCTV nano technology in your vaccines so Bill Gates and his pedo friends like Jeffrey E. can all spy on you during the next Bohevian Grove festival. That's what Alex Jones said on the air today.

    3D printer surveillance

    I bought this a while ago but wasn't practical for what I needed. I believe you can charge it while running it. It's not an "IP camera" but it sounds like you don't really need a network camera. Just something that is small and flexible that has the capability of recording for a day or two with...

    Solution to turn on and off Reolink (or any other app) notifications based on GPS location

    I have two of these Tasker scripts that I use (made by a a Ukrainian friend who does code for cheap) to automate certain functions of the Reolink app, but if you know how to use tasker the app can be changed to anything. You will need Tasker, AutoNotification, and some common knowledge of both...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I figured it out but that is one of the least of my concerns. As much as I despise Reolink, the Hikvision doorbell is complete junk. I ranted more about it in this post. It is something that you would have to have set up on blue iris. You literally have to reset the device if you want to...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    I actually have the DS-HD2 model. For me the wifi network is capitalized instead of all lower case like in that manual. I found another manual from a google search for wifi cameras in general, but that also didn't help. Time to email Hikvision for the hundredth time.

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    What is the password to the softap management wifi network? I tried the serial number and the verification number found on the back of the device and neither worked. I also can't find a full manual for this thing either. 90% of the quick start guide just explains how to screw it to the wall...

    Drive by shooting! Why you should always have continuous recording for LPR cameras

    This was a random shooting incident that happened to a couple houses on my street. I was the only one with cameras that caught it. Unfortunately I didn't have the LPR cameras that captured the plate pictures set to continuous recording so I couldn't get their faces inside their vehicles when...
