    IPC-Color4K-B180 broke?

    It did not. The online Youtube video mentioned something about it but I missed it. In my picture, you can see that the new ip address is 192.168.1.50 (it was the default one 192.168.1.108) but it still has this weird 37777 added to the end. I don't know how to ping the camera but I will try to...

    IPC-Color4K-B180 broke?

    Still hoping to get this resolved. I was playing around in Dahua's config tool and changed the default address from 192.168.1.108 to 192.168.1.50. It still shows the address with a '37777' extension. I plugged the camera back in to the computer that has Blue Iris on it and changed the camera...

    IPC-Color4K-B180 broke?

    Shows you what I know. Thank you. I plugged my POE switch into my desktop (not my normal camera security computer) and plugged the broken? camera into one of the slots on the POE switch. The port's green indicator came on. I ran the Dahua config tool and it said it was unitialized so ran...

    IPC-Color4K-B180 broke?

    Hey wonderful IP camera community, Thanks to this place, I've been able to install a nice 7 camera setup which has worked great up until now... One of my cameras started acting up a long time ago. It was just over a year old when it started. In the Blue Iris 'live video screen, this camera...

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    Thanks for your help. I couldn’t get the license key so I guess I’ll just buy the new version. Mine was almost 4 years old anyway. I was able to look at the old registry by importing it into the hive With the NT user.dat file but for some reason, my registration information wasn’t in the...

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    During installation I made sure to choose ‘keep files’ so it kept the old Windows and program files folder (Blue Iris 5). I guess that’s means the key file is in there’s.

    OpenVPN woes

    I tried that and it didn't load anything. Chrome just said 'This site can't be reached'. When you said 'bi_server" are you actually saying bi_server or the IP address for the server. I tried both but neither worked.

    OpenVPN woes

    Ty got it. So for everyone using the BI mobile app and running some time of VPN, do you set up two different servers (onfigurations) on the app? 1) for specially when you're out the house running openVPN and 2) then a different server config for when you're at home on your own wifi?

    OpenVPN woes

    Ok guys thanks for your input. I just bought the BI app for the IPAD. (the one that's $10). Can you guys point me in the direction of how to set up BI on the desktop so I can use the app from the Ipad. I will in the meantime try my GoogleFu but any help to speed things along is appreciated :)...

    OpenVPN woes

    Hola, Been working on getting my VPN up and running. I've used Randy's guide (OpenVPN on a Asus router) and the Dual Nic guide (Dual Nic Guide). So my problem is: I can connect to my BI computer using OpenVPN just fine but I can't access any of the cameras. One of the camera's IP is...

    Local Console Login?

    I ended up running task scheduler and setting up a .BAT file (made with notepad) to run at startup. I guess the only problem is it not running as a service and it crashes. Hmm…

    Local Console Login?

    Been following this thread trying to figure it out. I am running Win 10 Home. So I wanted to get a straight answer here. To get BI to run as a service, you HAVE to set a password for your windows login so you can click on that option under startup that says "Run as a window service". I guess...

    Yeah the Z12E is a no brainer. I guess sometimes in the tech world, I get carried away with trying to get the latest 'tech' and forget that sometimes there are products out there that are superior even if their dated. On a side note I was trying to decide between the HFW5442E-ZE and...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Has anyone mounted this camera under a soffit so it looks like the one in the picture. I rather not have to cut a hole through the brick wall. I'm assuming the 2087 has an elbow joint that turns 90 degrees like this HK cam in the picture. Thanks.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    These cameras are pretty hard to come by in the states.B&H was all I could find. Seemed pricey...does anyone anticipate the turret versions being better and worth waiting for? Is Andy still selling these. Doesn’t seem to have any :idk:

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Brad, can you share your source bro?
  27. H

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    So just to be totally clear, if we buy from Andy then his cameras should basically be fully functioning genuine versions of the camera?

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    What exactly is the difference?

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I'm with you bro. Turrets are an eyesore these days. They looks huge especially compared to mini-bullets. I guess the only thing I wonder is if the turret version has more advanced hardware than the mini-bullet version we are talking about here.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)
