    Blue Iris vlan

    I can route To it from my main vlan, but nothing on the cam vlan can go out or to my main vlan. I vpn to my main vlan and can access NVR and ca,eras from there.

    Blue Iris vlan

    My segregated vlan has no internet access. I can probable figure out letting BI through for os and virus updates. I was wondering if I need updates on a closed vlan. Seems like I may not, but am conditioned to keep os and virus up to date.

    Blue Iris vlan

    With BI on the segregated vlan, what do I do for windows and virus updates? I could create a third vlan for BI that can access cam vlan and also outside, but not my main vlan. That would segregate the BI from my main network and allow it to receive OS and Virus updates.

    New BI Setup - PC questions

    I wanted to close the loop on this and say thanks to all for the responses. I’ve ordered a Dell i7-8700 win10pro from eBay that should arrive next week for exclusive BI use. Before now, I would’ve never looked at eBay for a pc.

    Blue Iris vlan

    Understood, thanks. Was hoping it could work like my Homeseer and relay through HS cloud servers. Maybe the HS BI plug in will allow this within the HS realm. If this is the case, should I put BI on my sequestered cam vlan, which I can access from my main vlan or vpn?

    Blue Iris vlan

    im replacing an NVR with BI. Currently, my NVR is sequestered with my cams on a vlan that cannot access my main vlan and cannot access the wan. Should I put my BI on my main vlan or my camera vlan? I will want to use the BI mobile apps, if this will affect where I install BI. Do the BI...

    New BI Setup - PC questions

    I've never bought a PC from ebay. Are there preferred or known good vendors? I would want the tower I have 2 x 8TB WD drives. Will the tower accommodate SSD + 2 x 3.5 drives? How do you know win10 pro will load right up? Can these machines accommodate 16GB RAM?

    Sorry to start another “what PC” thread, but didn’t want to hijack someone else’s or dig up an obsolete one. ive read a lot of info here regarding what computer to use for BI. There always seems to be a sweet spot for price vs. performance. Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk I’d...

    IP Cam Viewer Pro vs Dahua

    Port 443 worked for me. Thanks. I’m unsure if I have substream set up, I think I do. I’m using ch. 1. I think that is the main stream, correct? 2 and 3 would be sub Streams?

    IP Cam Viewer Pro vs Dahua

    i cannot get my Dahua cameras to display in iOS IPCam Viewer. They work fine in IDMSS. The user/pass is correct, as is the IP. I’ve tried various ports (37777, 554, 80, 37778) and channels with no success. Also, SSL on and off. I’ve tried Dahua and generic onvif cam manufacturer and cam types...

    SubStream 2 URL

    Thanks all. I've got the MJPEG working in browser and the RTSP in VLC. I'm satisfied that this is working well. Now to figure out how to make Homeseer work with these. That's on a different forum.

    SubStream 2 URL

    Thanks. Have this working in the web browser. Using: http://User:password@CamIP/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=2 It does not work in homeseer. I'm guessing it is the digest auth vs basic. I don't see this setting, -- Found it, Setting>System>Safety>RTSP Authentication->Basic I...

    SubStream 2 URL

    I'm trying to set up my dahua cams in my automation software. Is there a list of urls (&syntax) for viewing various streams? My automation software (Homeseer) needs a mjpeg stream I think. I've set up substream 2 for this. Thanks.

    Power Zoom Disable?

    Thanks. I looked at my Nvr and didn’t see a way to set this up. Will dig more.

    Power Zoom Disable?

    Hopefully firmware will add it. It is bad as the IVS rules don’t zoom with it. What is LPR?

    Power Zoom Disable?

    I’m setting up 9 x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cams. I’ve found the power zoom to be really useful in tweaking the framing of my cameras. Once set, is there a way to turn off the zoom, so it doesn’t get changed? Thanks!

    Remote viewing of Dahua nvr recordings

    Yes, have these. IVS is what I use. Maybe I can trigger alarms with IVS and get it to work that way.

    Computer vs NVR

    I want to loop back and say that the Dahua NVR is now working well for me so far. It may not be as full featured or powerful as BI, but records my 3 cams fine and I can easily find IVS alerts without very many false positives. So far I have 1 x 8MP cam and 2 x 2MP cams. I’ve received 7 more 2MP...

    Remote viewing of Dahua nvr recordings

    Got this to work. It is clunky from 5k miles away. Hopefully it will be better with less latency. Is there a way to filter for type of recording - IVS? I think this is good enough for my needs.

    POE Issues - Unifi

    I wanted to follow up and say that these have been behaving much better. What I’ve found is that the whole experience is better with IE. I don’t recall if it is compatibility mode or not, I think not. I need to fine tune the settings but they are working well enough now, I am pleased. Picked up...

    Computer vs NVR

    Thanks. That seems to be the view of many here. I’ll probably end up with BI if my frustrations with NVR are anything like my frustrations with my new cams.
