    Starting ans stopping application

    If you have V4 set to run as a service, then you should still be able to start/stop with a command. net stop blueiris works for me on V4

    Performance with 10 cameras on one computer running blue iris

    I am. Mrs. Penguin will sh err freak if any find their way into the house. So far the score is me: 14 trapped, neighbors cat: 4 (delivered to the cat's owner, maybe more delivered elsewhere or eaten) Not sure where they came from, have never had a problem before, may have come with the new...

    Performance with 10 cameras on one computer running blue iris

    Oops, missed the 3mp in the original post, so yes I agree his results at 3mp may be much different. That said, I think 720p@10fps is pretty good quality, and a good compromise between quality/performance/storage. Right now I have 3 2032s dedicated to mouse detection (I think I may be winning...

    Tell us about your home automation!

    Maybe I'm getting older, but after returning home 1 block into my drive to work in the morning to do a "drive-by" to check that I really DID close the garage door. Then sitting on the couch at 8PM to have Mrs. Penguin come home and say "Why is the garage door open. Again?" I decided it was...

    Hikvision and FreeNAS - works

    +1 for Openmediavault, really solid product. It's been a a while but last time I looked at Freenas its SMB performance was really bad (FreeBSD problem I think) It may have been resolved by now.

    Hikvision Camera GUI record and capture not working but shows "success"

    I've never used this feature, so just tried it. It put files in the folders that are defined on the local configuration page.

    Blue Iris Installation Error - Server 2008 STD 64 Bit

    What is your DEP setting on the server? Try setting it to "essential windows programs and services only"

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    A "nice to have" feature: In the standard BI web interface, in the clips area, if I down-arrow through the list of clips, each clip starts playing as I scroll through them. In yours, it scrolls through, highlights, but doesn't change which clip is playing unless I click on one. I've become used...

    Check any logs on your wireless access point, might be some clues there.

    Sricam AP004 WIFI Problems.

    My standard answer to wireless problems is, plug it in. That said, are you sure you used the proper security type (WPA PSK, WPA2-PSK etc) and the correct passphrase? The camera needs to be set the same as the access point (router) is set.

    Hi from Western Canada

    Guess I should introduce myself. I do hang out on another forum, not sure how I found this one, but seems to be a bit more active, and a lot less drama than the other one, nice to see! I'm a bit of a camera addict from Western Canada. I started in 2000 when I got an Osprey analog video card...

    First time buying/installing IP cams

    Hi, welcome! 1) Great cameras, not sure you could do any better at the price. Can't really advise on the NVR, I don't know anything about them. 2) Not familiar with that store, probably similar to most of the Chinese stores. I have used this store, and many other people give them good...

    Wireles Slow With Multiple Cameras

    If I had to do wireless cameras on 2.4 GHZ i'd split them up. 3 good quality access points, one on each of channels 1, 6 and 11. Divide up your 2.4 devices to split the bandwidth load across all 3. Anything that can do 5GHZ put it on a 4th access point.

    Wireles Slow With Multiple Cameras

    So true! I'm the IT guy at our company, and that's what I always say. If you can plug it in, do it! wifi is for phones, tablets, and convenience. At home I've gone to extreme lengths to be able to plug in everything, especially cameras. I have one that's still wireless, and (big surprise)...
