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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
In Guarding Vision:
Click on the doorbell then click on the three dots in the top right corner. Go to Settings, Notification, then change Notification Sound Mode to Mute. Click the Save icon on the top right.
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...
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.
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...
What are you using for the NVR? Does it have the capability of receiving ONVIF alerts?
A SD card in the camera is useful if you want to have a backup of the video or for troubleshooting on the camera end.
I don't believe the SD1A404XB-GNR has auto tracking. Other than that, I have one that I haven't played around with that much so I am paying attention as well. :)
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.
My wife was thrilled today when I sent her to the post office to pick up a package for me.
I didn't tell her it was another camera. [emoji56][emoji1787][emoji41]
Andy, any word on MP, sensor size, zoom, auto tracking, and ballpark cost on that new monster PTZ scheduled Q2? Seeing if I should hold out or just get another SD49225XA-HNR sooner. [emoji6]
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...
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...
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.
Unless you're doing Ubiquiti, Cambium, or similar PtP radios, plan on digging and trenching conduit for fiber runs. You can buy pre-terminated lengths of multimode fiber on Amazon.
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).
If you have power and line of sight to a building with Internet (or a NVR), you can do a point to point wifi radio like a Uniquiti Nanobeam and support the cameras that way. Most cameras rated for outdoor use (IP67, etc.) and shouldn't need a housing.
Set static IPs on all the cameras. You can preconfigure them individually with 12v and a patch cable to a computer one at a time without dealing with a switch.
