    SD49225XA-HNR IR toggle in Blue Iris?

    Has anyone been able to get the IR toggle button in Blue Iris to work with a Dahua SD49225XA-HNR? I have tried various automatic and manual IR settings in the camera, enabling the CGI service in the camera, and camera configuration and PTZ settings in Blue Iris without success. I would like to...

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Do they come home at a certain time every night? My thoughts are to move it to a preset that doesn't auto track, adjust the schedule on the IVS trigger, move it out of a preset when you see them coming and put it back after, or possibly draw a privacy mask around the area you don't want to track...

    Wall of shame

    Well on top of the network problems, what's with the surface mounted PVC electrical box, dimmer switch, and romex hanging out of it? The network cables just blend in with that stuff.

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Don't use wifi for cameras that you need to be reliable. The HWF5241E-Z12E is your huckleberry. Contact EmpireTechAndy (he has a subforum on the main page) to order. He is out of stock on Amazon right now but can still get them for you (and at a cheaper price) if you contact him directly.

    Cannot access BI Web server on LAN

    Open a command prompt on the BI machine and type in: netstat -an | find ":81" Do you see port 81 as listening on the interface you are trying to connect to? Check the Windows firewall settings on the BI machine too. If you go into add/remove Windows features in the Control Panel, you can also...

    Cannot access BI Web server on LAN

    Computers on the same LAN? What's the IP subnet for the LAN and do you have the bind to adapter for the IP checked in BI? If so, try unchecking it. If you are running two NICs (separate camera LAN) this may be your problem.

    New Home Wiring: Cat6 or Cat5 premade cables

    I would do Cat 5e personally for camera runs. Yes, Cat 6 is future proofing and a great idea for backbones and office runs but 5e will do 1 Gbps speeds and 8MP/4K cameras aren't pushing much more than 10 Mbps. How much future proofing do you need? Cat 5e will be easier to work with and...

    Dedicated license plate camera

    35 feet wide is a very tall order as you need plates to be about 100 pixels wide for good viewing. The recommended and popular HFW5841E-Z12E is a 2MP camera which won't give you enough pixels per foot if you're aiming that wide. Your best hope would be a IPC-B5442E-Z4E (4MP) but you will still...

    More help with Loryta SD49225XA-HNR

    You might have to hold it down for several minutes. It may not detect the reset button being pushed (and held down) until it's done with the boot sequence.

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    Check out ONVIF Device Manager (ONVIF Device Manager). It hasn't been updated in about nine years, but it still works and finds IP addresses of ONVIF devices on your network (even if they are in a different subnet) which will prevent you from having to install all sorts of third party camera...

    UI3 web times out

    I'm using Chrome to access UI3 on the latest stable version of BI and it takes seemingly forever to load on a seemingly low resolution (720p on a LAN connection) when trying to load the live view. Still the same results when accessing it through localhost when on the machine with BI installed...

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    Any word on if the PTZ mini dome will have auto tracking, what the IR range may be, if it can be mounted vertically, and what the ballpark price point it may come in around? I'm excited for this one. I was thinking I'd love to get another SD49225XA-HNR before stock runs out, but if this fits...

    Turret Camera

    Unless you pay a lot more, utility providers are just going to do it the easiest way possible which means routing on the outside of the house and drilling straight through the outside to the inside walls for service locations. You can replace your phone line after the demarc and run the...

    Exterior Install to a Tree

    If you're burying conduit, you can tie several knots in poly pull line (to increase the diameter), then suck the poly line through the conduit from one end to the other with a shop vac. After that, lube up the end you are starting from with cable lube and pull the ethernet line through the conduit.

    Turret Camera

    Sometimes you have to be creative and wiggle around things. Or work like it's a drop ceiling by using push rods. It can be very difficult and dangerous with roofing nails poking through the roof everywhere. If you have an entryway with a wall next to the door, mounting one of those 2.8mm...

    Christmas Sales 2021

    I brought a Unview PTZ in a box in the house tonight that has been in the garage since summer. She looked annoyed. Christmas present is already taken care of so I'm good on that front. At this point she just wants me to hang all the cameras so they aren't taking up room inside the house.

    Linking Cameras from Detached Garage to Main House

    I'd go fiber first, followed by point-to-point wireless second (not regular wifi). While you could bury copper Cat5e or Cat6, you run the risk of having a power surge or lightning strike come through and frying your network (and possibly everything connected to it). If you have the ability to...

    Darnedest Static Ip Issue

    If the cameras are on the private camera LAN that is only connected to the Blue Iris PC, the router should not see them at all. Are you able to connect to the cameras on the camera LAN after you unplug the network cable from the PC to the router? If you can, you will likely need to set a lower...

    Streaming The Video Feed From IPCamera through a Mobile Network

    Initiate a VPN connection from the remote site with the cameras. If the modem itself doesn't support it then use a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X to do it. Or get a static IP from your cellular provider. Or even better, use PtP wireless radios if you have or are close to line of site.

    Possible hacking into blueiris?

    Make sure you run all Windows updates and run a full anti-virus scan of EVERYTHING (including your Blue Iris and video storage folders if you have them whitelisted in your AV).
