    Changed ISP, broke cameras in BI

    I changed ISPs yesterday, including routers and now my cameras show "no signal". What information can I provide to help get this working again? I am willing to start over totally if needed. Thank you.

    Christmas lights seeing off motion

    Hello, I was hoping for some help with my Christmas decorations setting of the motion recording. There has to be some simple solution to fix this, but it's been awhile since I messed with the blue Iris software. I attached a gif for reference. Thanks

    Long overdue update. I've had these setup for a few months now and am very happy with them. I use a raspberry pi as a vpn, so the cams never touch the internet. I'll update more when I get home. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    I remembered the password for "admin" I changed during initial setup and gained access to both cams. Not sure about telnet. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    Hdw-4431c-a account locked

    Thanks for your help. Direct connection wouldn't allow any changes either though, kept saying incorrect/account locked. I did however remember the admin password I had changed on initial setup. I also went in and added an additional user and password for the cameras. Everything is up and...

    Hdw-4431c-a account locked

    So I went to install my second camera but the ip addresses were the same. (Never changed when installing first). I went to log into the camera software but no matter what password I try I'll get user or pass invalid, then it goes locked. I already tried admin admin and 888888 888888. I even...

    Yes the existing conduit runs power to the garage. I'll bury a new one but need to decide where the best place to run into garage is. The existing runs directly under driveway up into garage. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    That's the plan, but will probably have to wait until spring for that. For now the second cam will probably go on the back of the house. And I'll order a few more over the next few months. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    Cameras have been processed through ISC Chicago as of the 7th. Have my Poe switch and one length of cat 6 run. Through the porch light box and under siding. Couldn't get the cable run to the garage as the conduit is stuffed full already. Will have to think that through. Sent from my Nexus 5X...

    What dash cam are you using?

    I agree. Very few people need all the extra features. My wife has the a118c and wants me to replace it with the Mobius. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    Tried ordering the SD59430U-HN -- Hit with credit card verification request

    I had the same issue with my recent AliExpress order. I wouldn't give Ali the info they wanted so I contacted the seller and paid via PayPal. Ask seller if that's an option. My seller actually offered me to pay via PayPal. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    So I'm looking at the Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A 4MP turrets for $72. I see others on the forum have purchased them and the price to quality seems pretty good. I would buy the 6mm version. Link: Dahua New arrival IPC-HDW4431C-A 4MP Full HD Network IR Mini Camera POE Mic Built-in cctv network dome...

    Yes, I installed it yesterday and got the Amcrest 841 on it quickly. I have it running on an old desktop, Athlon II X4 640 3ghz with 4 gig of ram. The one cam on wifi has BI using about 40% cpu load. Now that I see how the software works ill build a dedicated BI machine with WD purple drives...

    Great info, thank you. I actually have an Amcrest 841 I picked up from microcenter for play around with inside the house. I like the hardware, not so much the software.

    That SD29204S-GN, wow! I will be upgrading/updating all exterior lighting. I feel like domes are safer in a vandal standpoint, no? Dahua looks pretty good.

    Swann analog camera uses?

    Makes sense, so what can I do with it? It will power up and light the IRs but I won't be buying a DVR. It was a Lowe's clearance item. I wonder if I can harvest the lense or other internals and make something with it. The brains at element 14 could probably help with that. Sent from my Nexus 5X...
