    Camect - New “do all” box

    I think he is asking if he can monitor with it securely, easily and without opening a port or forking with vpn. I presume Camect would do this, via Camect servers.

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Will this work in parallel with BI? Could I use BI for my main recording and Camect for my AI, monitoring, and alerting? Is the annual fee 60/yr? Or, 60/cam/yr? I really like BI, but get a lot of false alarms. Have not had the time to devote to really tweaking the motion detecting.

    Thanks. Missed that. That explains why searches in the Dahua forum and Dahua website didn’t turn anything up.

    Dark Fight

    Night Details

    Not a hiking path, just my unkempt yard. My cameras are 8 x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and 1 x IPC-HDW5831R-ZE. This one is a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. The light at the corner of the house is another IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. It is too high, I will try it lower. I have a driveway cam that I am going to lower as well...

    Basic Profile Question

    Thanks. I don’t think I am close to running out of profiles, but if I burn one to switch a single camera setting, setting this up on 5 cams burns 5 profiles, and would only work for one cam. I’ll talk with the HS PI forum and see if they have ideas. I’ll check out this tool. Is it the BI...

    Basic Profile Question

    I thought of this. It should work. I can trigger profiles from Homeseer. My concern is that it seems there are only 8 or so profiles and I could run out of them quickly. Is it possible to add more profiles, and if so, is there a limit to how many profiles can exist? Slightly different...

    Basic Profile Question

    Thanks. I have one cemera that I want to change the settings on, based on the status of a lighting circuit. I have BI cam motion triggering Homeseer events. I’m trying to figure out how to change cam settings on an individual camera based on a lighting status change from Homeseer. Are macros...

    Night Details

    Correct, that that "Light" on the upper right is another camera, the reverse angle, covering the building openings and the rest of the side of the building. All of my cams have similar detail on motion at night. Look great static, but facial details are not clear when moving around. All of...

    Basic Profile Question

    I've read the help file and watch Dasstrum's Profile video. One thing that is not clear to me is: Are profiles global, ie are all cams on the same profile always, or can individual cams be operating under different profiles?

    Night Details

    I'm new to setting up my cams. I've seen quite a few videos here from other users that have great detail at night. I have not been able to get my videos to look good. My settings are mostly default. I did read about turning 3D NR down, but not off. I tried this, but no noticeable...

    High CPU

    Thanks. I'm primarily an Opera and Firefox user. Will use Opera. I've got UI3 (love it!) and the iOS apps running. They all work great. I'll use VNC for when I need the console. I'm getting the hang of this. I'll try unticking "Also BVR" on my 2MP cams and leave it ticked on my 8MP cam.

    Global Camera Settings

    Thanks. I presume this will copy all settings. Is there a way to just copy individual settings to other or all cameras?

    High CPU

    Thanks. I will reduce the FPS rate at some point. Still trying to push the limits of the system. Right now, CPU and GPU are not near the limits. I need to set up motion and other bits and figure out playback. Figured out UI3, it is a different URL than XXX.XXX.XXX.xxx:81. Much nicer. I've...

    High CPU

    I was using the BI Interface. I've now set up VPN and am using the iOS app. If I use IE on a workstation, is that using UI3, or is UI3 if I use another browser? (What is the best browser?) Should I run BI as a service? Does it perform better or more efficiently? If so, should I not load it...

    Global Camera Settings

    Is there a way to apply camera, or individual camera, settings to all cameras? IE, if I update a variable, can I apply it to other cams, or specific other cams, rather than needing to open each cam's properties and edit? For example, I just adjusted my file naming string and want all 9 cams to...

    Dahua settings with BI

    Is there a guideline for how I should set my Dahua cams? I've got the S1 video set, H.264 and am aware of frame rate. What should I do with S2 and S3? Does it matter for the performance of the cam or BI? What should I do with the IVS stuff? Can BI leverage any of it? I've got storage in...

    Sorry, I don't get to log on often, nor work on this often. Thanks for the replies. You nailed it. I didn't realize I was playing back in a different window and wasn't closing it. Close it and CPU falls right down to normal. I've done the Memory Leak steps, preventing auto update and am...

    I’m setting up and optimizing (and experimenting with) a new BI system. I have an i7-8700 and 8 x 2mp + 1 x 8mp Dahua cams. Currently set to “direct to disc” and “HA” with 30fps (2mp) 15fps (8mp). I’ve optomised as recommended in the wiki (other than FPS). My cpu runs at about 30% and GPU...

    New BI Setup - PC questions

    I’m trying to set this up. Haven’t built a win 10 pro machine yet. How do I load windows on the new SSD I installed? I thought it happened over the wire if there is no os. Is this in the wiki?

    Blue Iris vlan

    I ended up creating a new vlan, segregated from my main vlan like cam, but with access to cam and to wan. I'll put BI here and can move other stuff that does not need access to my main lan.

    Blue Iris vlan

    My rule blocks all outbound traffic to the wan by default. I will allow the BI through the fw.

    Blue Iris vlan

    I’ve done this so far by blocking everything on the cam vlan.

    Blue Iris vlan

    I don’t allow my cams to access the internet. The clans are segregated and the cams don’t need/can’t get out. No phoning home for them.
