    Lookup local vs public IP addresses. 192.168.1.78 is not routable across the Internet, hence your challenge.

    Network security questions

    To try and put your mind at rest regarding this statement: Firstly, I have NO IDEA how your LAN ended up on 192.169.0.0 IP range in the first place. Look up "Private IPs" as defined in RFC1918 - these are blocks of IP ranges dedicated for use on LANs, not the public internet, and note that...

    PTZ 3D Positioning Support

    I have an older 2MP Dahua OEM PTZ connected to Blue Iris. When accessing the PTZ via SmartPSS Lite, the "3D positioning" function seems to work - that is, I can click and drag to draw a box in the video viewport, and them the PTZ will frame up to the box I drew. Very useful for quickly and...

    Less than 12 hours with a PTZ leads to an arrest and jail

    Interesting, thank you. I don't have anything that is 4MP on a smaller sensor like that, but I am intrigued by how well (or not) they do perform, as many PTZs seem to use the smaller sensor. Color is nice, but in some cases I prefer IR. Depends on the scene. Do you have any sample clips from...

    Less than 12 hours with a PTZ leads to an arrest and jail

    How does the PTZ425DB-AT-R perform in the dark? OK despite the 4MP on a smaller than 1/1.8 sensor? Seemed to be doing OK in the clip, even in color rather than IR mode... How much ambient lighting do you have? Have you tested out it's IR capabilities?

    VPN problem

    Is it possible one of the certificates in the PKI infrastructure for OpenVPN, which you may have created when you set it up (you said it was a couple of years ago), has expired? Often with these certs you specify an expiry time when you create them, after this date they will cease to work. Need...

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    That's fortunate, thanks for testing. When I do use DMSS, I never use P2P.

    PSA for those purchasing new Dahua NVRs NVR16CH-AI-S2

    In terms of this push to having a DMSS account for newer NVRs, does this affect adding via IP/Domain at all, or not? Can we continue to do this without an account?

    Anyone running the SD8X442FA-HNF?

    Anyone on the forum using the beastly SD8X442FA-HNF? (EmpireTech SD8X442FA-HNF 1/1.8”CMOS 4MP 42X Starlight Laser Nonred Net). I would be intrigued to see some sample footage, at various distances, and to see what the "laser" IR can do...

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    True - mainly because dome IR and dirt issues? Maybe in a sheltered porch by a door or something?

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    Yes, just trying to think of a variety of use-cases for this camera - close range stuff I suppose mostly.

    If anyone needs a cheap, but good quality compact dome IP Camera, I present to you the $30 Hikvision DS-2CD2523G0-IS

    Be interested to see any sample footage people might have of this camera in operation, day, night, etc. I guess it might be useful in smaller spaces, as well as perhaps an overview camera of sorts?

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Yes, I had forgotten to setup the Day/Night mode properly within each profile... Changed to: And the opposite for Night profile. Imagine it will work fine now.

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Yes I don't think I'm going to be defaulting it... I think the issue might be that I configured it to switch between Day and Night profiles based on my schedule, but forgot to say "Force Color in day mode" and "Force BW in night mode" within each profile. I have not had time to check the...

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    I definitely need to check my settings again. I thought I had them setup as above, but looking through the recording timeline, it's not behaving as expected... Today, the camera was still in IR mode at 11.55. It switched a few minutes later. Yesterday (11th Feb 2026) it switched around 11.05...

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    I've got setup with 'Customized Scene' mode and a monthly schedule now. Its a great feature to be able to specify the schedule per month, but I will say, it was not too easy to configure :) Hopefully this works well. I am hoping it will handle DST properly with the current configuration too.

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Thanks. I would rather not have to remember to adjust it every couple of months, but I will look into the per-month schedule which my GUI apparently should have!

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Makes sense. Do you manually adjust the time schedule to match seasonal light variations?

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    Haven't had a chance to set it up to do anything useful, but I upgraded to 6.0.1.30, and used one of the YOLO models from the modelpack, and was able to get a sensible analysis (albeit very slow on CPU, in the region of 10,000msec. Perhaps I will try on GPU).

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    I see. Obviously all I need to do is switch between Color / BW modes, and also adjust the image settings (mainly shutter) for nighttime, because I can run a much faster shutter in the day when there is more light. I suppose it makes sense to do the two changes (Color > BW and shutter) at the...

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Just checked my settings. Definitely currently using Day/Night Switch, I think I figured that changes the profile, so essentialy switches the shutter speed it uses automatically when it switches between color and IR. I thought there was sensitivity adjustment available, but I must be...

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    I have the download, but haven't got around to installing the models and testing yet. One observation is that with Mike's model (I think it was bi general) in the models folder, BI was using +20% CPU, even though (unless I made some daft config error) the AI shouldn't have been doing a thing...

    DMSS App Not Connecting to Local NVR

    I can confirm DMSS is capable of using local connections.

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Thanks all. PI will have to familiarize myself with the exact settings again. I do have the new GUI. I'm definitely not using auto settings in general, EG for exposure times, but I did find auto day / night switching worked well for my needs, except for the issue described in this thread.

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    Do these Dahuas support autoswitching between day / night profiles? I think the reason it's in auto not forced is so it switches between day / night shutter values automatically (same time it goes Color <> BW).

    Rapid switching between IR and Color

    This is on a B54IR model, telephoto, I forget the exact model. The IR switching sensitivity is set quite high, e.g it's switches to IR early in the evening and back to color late in the morning. Which is fine in this case, I would rather it's spent more time in black and white, than staying in...

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    The trouble I am having is that my BI install is heavily firewalled, and does not have open access to the internet, so the model download in the AI tab is going to fail. Unless it opens in a browser for the download and I can copy / paste to another machine to download? I suspected BI downloaded...

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    I've just tried bi-general-v5.onnx, and had this issue when using the Testing > Analyse with AI option: However, BI is reporting v6.0.1.21, even though I'm sure I ran the update package with filename blueirisupdate_64_60125.exe, which looks to me like it should be v6.0.1.25 :idk:. Not sure if...
