    Wanted - Logitech Alert Powerline/POE adapters

    Even though these powerline devices are supposed to be mix and match according to the HomePlug AV Alliance specifications, this doesn't seem to be the case. For instance, the 200Mbs devices are not upward compatible with the 500Mbs devices. The Logitech HD 200a units seemed to me to be the...

    IPC-HFW4300S ordered and IPC-HFW1320S showing in firmware

    If the seller has agreed that they made a mistake, can't you return them? From the Dahua site, I gather that the cameras are essentially the same. The IPC-HFW4300S is in the Eco-Savy series, and the IPC-HFW1320S is in the Lite series. The "Lite" series camera has a slightly better IP rating of...

    BI Computer HD Storage

    I've been reading the help file, but haven't found the answer yet. My dedicated BI computer has a 500gb hard drive. If the space on this drive allocated for clips becomes full, does BI overwrite the old ones?

    Wanted - Logitech Alert Powerline/POE adapters

    I have been using the Logitech HD Powerline 200a for data and the TP-Link-TL-PoE15S for power. They work as well as the original HomePlug/PoE unit that came with the cameras.

    Wanted - Logitech Alert Powerline/POE adapters

    I still have two Logitech cameras connected to my router via those Logitech wall warts. Eventually, they will be replaced with hard wired Dahua units. But in the mean time, they are working fine. Whenever these HomePlug/PoE devices failed in the past, I would order a replacement from...

    Dahua DH-IPC-HFW4305D-V2-0600B Cannot upgrade to english version

    Before I purchase a camera from a vender, I inquire if the firmware is in English, and I make sure that they have a good return policy. I have not found a need to upgrade the firmware on any of my cameras once they are up and running. But, in my case, I exclusively use Blue Iris for events and...

    Brand New to Forum - Question about Blue Iris Setup

    I haven't done this myself, but apparently you can have your cake and eat it too. With Blue Iris, you can add the same camera a second time and assign it different settings. You then hide the "clone" camera's video. Both cameras are using the same video stream, so this does not impinge on the...

    Need replacement for Logitech Alert camera

    My advice was based on ascertains made by the HomePlug AV Alliance and not on practical experience. I believe that you are now in a better position than I am to advise someone on this issue. My problems with these wall warts were a bit different in that certain cameras kept losing video. That...

    Need replacement for Logitech Alert camera

    It makes sense that the 200 Mbps Logitech base unit would not be able to receive data from the 500 Mbps TP-Link units connected to your cameras. The TP-Link units are probably downward compatible. As for my setup, I stayed with all 200 Mbps powerline adapters. From how I read the Homeplug AV...

    Need replacement for Logitech Alert camera

    Kits that support the HomePlug standard may run at different speeds. I believe the Logitech HomePlugs run at 200 megabits per second. The Trendnet 500mbps units (also known as HomePlug AV2) runs at a different speed. You should be able to mix and match Powerline adaptors running at different...

    Need replacement for Logitech Alert camera

    The best way to connect cameras is with a wired Ethernet. However, that being said, I do have two of my cameras connected with that “brick”. Eventually, I will hard wire them – but for the time being they are working just fine. The “brick” that Logitech provided with their cameras was a...

    Adding a Logiterch Alert camera to Blue Iris...

    Thanks for the reply fenderman. I was successful in adding the Logitech Alert camera. My mistake was that I selected "Find/inspect" after I had selected "Logitech" from the dropdown. I thought that this was a necessary step.

    Dahua Internal Microphone, any good?

    Hi badmop. I have several IPC-HFW4300C cameras. I have the latest firmware, but they don’t have line crossing. However, I don’t need this feature since I have found Blue Iris excellent for detecting motion. The internal microphones on these cameras work fine, but I they are not as sensitive...

    Adding a Logiterch Alert camera to Blue Iris...

    I have eliminated most of my Logitech Alert cameras and have replaced them with Dahua cameras. I record 24/7 with a Dahua NVR, and use Blue Iris for alerts and remote viewing. I still have two Logitech cameras and have to use Logitech’s program “Alert Commander” to view them. I have been...

    Do I need virus protection?

    Thanks for the reply typo. Microsoft Defender replaced Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8 and 10. I upgraded the Blue Iris computer to Windows 10 and it has Defender running by default.

    Do I need virus protection?

    I now have a pc that is dedicated to running only Blue Iris. Since I am not "surfing the internet", emailing, or doing anything else with this pc, I have concluded that I don't need any virus software running on this pc. Is this a safe assumption, or am I full of it?

    Auto Maintain - Do I really need this?

    I started this thread on the auto maintain issue. For what it's worth, the problem was not with "Auto Maintain", but with my ignorance. I have taken fendermans advice and have since hard weird my cameras. I now have a really good working system. I have found Blue Iris exceptional for remote...

    4300c 3mp bullet issue

    I have a Dahua4208 8 channel NVR. Regarding Microsoft Edge, I don't use it either. You can find internet explorer within the start menu and then just pin it to your desk top. Windows internet explorer is the same program in any version of Windows as long as you have upgraded it. I have had...

    4300c 3mp bullet issue

    I have a Dahua NVR, and among the cameras I have connected is an IPC-HFW4300S bullet camera. The video is set at 3M, and I can full screen the camera. I wish I could help, but if you reset the camera to its default settings and connected it to your NVR, it should work fine. You shouldn't have...

    4300c 3mp bullet issue

    If the problem is due to a setting, I would expect it to be in the camera. I have a Dahua NVR and Dahua cameras, and the camera settings are automatically copied to the NVR. You might try resetting your 4300c to its default settings (System -> Default -> Default). You will have to log back in...

    Is it Adios Audio, or are my Settings Sound?

    No, I haven't, but I will try. I guess I was under the erroneous impression that audio didn't increase bandwidth demand that much. Thanks for the suggestion fenderman.

    Is it Adios Audio, or are my Settings Sound?

    Just an update. With audio turned off on all of my cameras, the video is extremely solid. I would like to have audio, but I guess I will have to live without it. I have six cameras now, and have set all of their video settings to their maximum settings, i.e., resolution, frame rate, bit rate...
