    Blue Iris app + business related + I'm not to sure

    I was able to get in contact with support and figure out why DW was misidentifying the cameras. I just haven't had enough free time to organize my thoughts and post a topic on here. To keep it simple, Andy's Dahua cameras are flashed with his firmware. When either BlueIris or DW pulls the ONVIF...

    Server recovery

    You should probably email [email protected] with your issue since the BI developers and support staff don't monitor this forum.

    blueirissoftware.com website down (2023.07.07)

    I'm sure there were a large number of people affected by this issue. I manage six Blue Iris systems and out of the six, three of them went into evaluation mode. No, I do not have auto updates on etc, and I do not believe that had anything to do with this issue. The common denominator I noticed...

    Follow the last post in this thread. Be Careful with CodeProject AI 2.1.0 Make sure to shutdown BI, uninstall codeproject, delete the folders specified in the above thread, reboot the computer then reinstall codeproject. Once CPAI says its's done installing, open the dashboard and keep an eye...

    Home Security Systems

    That’s the soft launch version that doesn’t come with Zwave. I’m curious what the price is going to be for the full release version like this model- Qolsys IQ Pro - Verizon LTE, PowerG System w/ Honeywell/2GIG 345 MHz Support in a Metal Enclosure While the Vista 20p is a great panel...

    Home Security Systems

    It just “soft launched” a month ago. It’s not really available yet but I’m hoping it will be within the next month or so. AlarmGrid has the product page on their website but it’s listed as not available at the moment. If you search Qolsys IQ Pro on their website you’ll find it.

    Home Security Systems

    You can still self-monitor with the IQ Pro, you would just need to subscribe to a self-monitoring plan that some DIY alarm companies like AlarmGrid offer. The IQ Pro will work with any alarm company that supports alarm.com. If you want self-monitoring that doesn't cost anything than you're best...

    Home Security Systems

    Are you going to be using wireless sensors or hardwired sensors? If you're using wireless you'll probably want the Honeywell 5800mini sensors and the Honeywell 5853 for glassbreaks. Do you plan on self-monitoring or using central station monitoring? If you're going to use central station...

    Asus Routers Issue - May 17 2023

    Lawrence Systems has a decent amount of videos on pfSense; Video on how to install pfSense; There are a lot of options when it comes to running pfSense such as; Netgate Appliance (Company who owns pfSense). Comes with PfSense Plus and is the most expensive option. Used PC's/Custom Built...

    Asus Routers Issue - May 17 2023

    I'll have to see if any of my friends are still using Asus routers. I've swapped all of mine out with custom built pfSense boxes which is far superior to any Asus router. I suggest looking into that or OPNsense as their OpenVPN integration is superior. With Pfsense you can create a backup file...

    Blueiris Email

    No Problem. But which version of Blue Iris 5 are you using? There have been many different version over the past 4 to 5 years. only the most recent versions of BI 5 supports Google OAuth. Also, I hope you're not recording to that 8TB SSD. Unless you have a enterprise grade SSD it's not designed...

    Blueiris Email

    What version of Blue Iris are you using? I'm using Gmail without any issues (only for status alerts). Blue Iris incorporated Gmail OAuth about a year or so ago. You need to sign into your Gmail using OAuth. If I remember correctly you need to enable 2 factor authentication in Gmail before you...

    Blue Iris app + business related + I'm not to sure

    I figured out the issue. Andy's cameras are using his custom firmware or "general" firmware. When I add Andy's cameras to Digital Watchdog it detects the cameras as Vendor type "General" instead of Dahua. When I flash Andy's cameras with Dahua branded firmware, Digital Watchdog detects the...

    BI has become unstable.

    I’m sure some people here do understand the crash logs, but I do not. You can email support and attach the crash logs and see what they say. The fact that BI mainly crashes at night is a clue. Something is changing at night that’s causing it to crash, wether it’s some program that auto runs, a...

    BI has become unstable.

    I'm out of ideas as to why its crashing. Maybe something got corrupt, or maybe there's a 3rd party program on the computer causing BI to crash. Either way I would do a clean install. I strongly recommend you consider getting a PC specifically for BI. The way you have it setup is strongly not...

    did you exclude BI DB files from the anti virus? What antivirus are you running?

    yeah I’ve never had slow playback. And I’ve been using that setting since at least an 8th gen i7. Currently on a 12th gen i7

    BI has become unstable.

    I use large segments, 24 hours with 100gb limits and I don’t have any issues. I suspect the OP didn’t exclude BI fromMS defender and or is running BI as a local service instead of giving it admin credentials.

    BI has become unstable.

    Hmm, your installation is definitely atypical. Most people who run BI run it on a dedicated PC and don't use it for anything else. Since you're using it as your daily PC, I'm sure there's plenty of other software on there that could cause a conflict. Do you notice any patterns when BI crashes...

    BI has become unstable.

    Let's see if changing those settings will stop it from crashing. The HDD set to sleep in 15 minutes won't cause it to crash right away, because it needs 15 minutes of inactivity for it to sleep. Which makes sense why the computer mostly crashes at night time. I thought BI prevented the HDD's...

    BI has become unstable.

    WD blue is the not proper drive for surveillance but that’s probably not the issue. you didn’t answer the question about the computer going to sleep. Is there a specific reason you need it to sleep? Back in 2014/2015 when I was using BI4 I forgot to turn off the setting that puts the HDD to...

    BI has become unstable.

    Can you give us more detailed specs. If the computer is prebuilt, who's the manufacture? Make? Model? What's the make/model of your storage drive? Why does the computer go to sleep? Do you need it to sleep?? I can't think of a legitimate reason for a VMS computer to go to sleep. I would start...

    Thinking about using 5442 IVS to trigger BI instead of using BI zones... thoughts?

    I've found the follow settings work for me when using camera clones. Check "clone master", "Get ONVIF trigger events", "cameras digital input or motion alarm" and "trigger until reset" on the camera that will receive the ONVIF triggers. On the cloned camera that will not receive the ONVIF...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Why use VBR and not CBR? In my opinion, if my objective is to have a high quality image, I'm going to set a high constant bitrate (CBR) and not use a variable bitrate (VBR). I have both the 4K-t and 4K-x and I don't have that issue you're describing.

    Blue Iris app + business related + I'm not to sure

    The 5442 is specifically listed on their support file as compatible with Analytics (AI). So I don't know if I'm not configuring something correctly but once I get his system up and running I'm going to have to figure out. DW will also integrate with 3rd party programs with its API but I haven't...

    Blue Iris app + business related + I'm not to sure

    I agree with @fenderman, You're probably better off with DW IPVMS. You can create a cloud account with Digital Watchdog and it can be synced with the DW server. I believe the cloud connection with the DW server is encrypted and you can also setup 2 factor authentication for each cloud account...

    Looking for an Alarm System for PSTN wired home and/or wifi?

    If you want self-monitoring, the Honeywell Vista 20p paired with the Envisalink 4 is the way to go. The envisalink 4 will connect to the panel's ECP bus and allow you to remote monitor via the internet. You'll receive text/email alerts and also be able to remotely control the system without any...
