    Blue Iris Question

    Conflict in that first photo showing ethernet 2 with 192.168.2.xxx where the gateway is 192.168.1.x Are your cameras set up with static IP's? If they are, they would have to be setup to match the gateway that you are moving them to. Are these wifi or POE cameras powered via a switch?

    Blue Iris Question

    When you do a command ipconfig, are both NIC's showing on your pc. This example shows my 192.168.12.1 which is my main router and the 10.0.0.1 which goes to most cameras and to another router (no internet)

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    I took advantage of the 18TB WD Easystore from B&H which they still have for $310.

    Ethernet wire pairs faulty

    Most cameras only use Mode A which uses pins 1,2,3 and 6 which are the orange and green pairs which are used on either T567A or T568B

    Continuous recording not continuous.

    I prefer to set each camera from the default 8 hrs to 1 hr myself to make managing them easy. Also in the BI storage settings, click the Delete box above the "Move to folder" option. Attached photo shows where I have allocated 80% (8000 GB) of a 10 TB drive to the New folder

    How the heck do I get IVS to trigger Blue Iris?

    Sometimes after playing with the IVS setting within the camera, I have to run the Find/inspect again within BI to get the alerts functioning properly again. Since this is a new camera, you may check that Onvif user is active on the cameras account setting. I had one camera that was not providing...

    Headless setup only connects once

    Thanks for that tip Techie007L . Jump Desktop allows for live audio from Blue Iris where Windows RDP is lacking that function.

    Which camera is better

    I see them priced at $599 and $1299 respectively. The $1299. CZ825x is similar to the EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight IR 5.4mm–135mm Vari-Focal PTZ Camera which sells for $750.49 I have no experience with the dual lens cameras. Which Hikvision PTZ do you have now or had...

    Identify the camera system by the noise

    All I hear is a mic picking up normal background noises with a vehicle near the end.

    Are there any Blue Iris (version 6) tutorial videos out there?

    The only major difference between v5 and v6 that I have seen is the built in AI which is still work in progress and is covered quite well by Bruce_H and several other great participants on the forums.

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    FlipNJ , how much zoom do you need and is IR required. I have some older Dahua cameras similar to those that Chase mentioned. Are you looking for wifi or Poe?

    Welcome back! My mind cannot comprehend why the hell he is doing that but is obvious that those tiny twigs are not wanted close to his masterpiece.

    Hall of shame

    No holes needed when running ethernet cable. Also works on extension cords but may have to slam door a little harder to latch.

    Mount for T54IR-ZE-S3

    These may work fine but they are plastic whereas Andy's empiretech are aluminum. OOPS! TonyR beat me to it.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    The Revotech did not perform well for me. did not get good focus at 10-12 feet under artificial lighting. Their stated 22mm zoom is lacking also. Did not zoom much over an old Dahua 2.7-12mm that I compared it to.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    I have one of those particular Revotech cameras that I have yet to place in service but use several of their other fisheye and pinhole varieties. This one does not have IR and has manual zoom and focus which is not a problem, If you tell me the distance from camera to gauges, I will set it up...

    APC backup power supply questions…

    I use small UPS units similar TonyR's APC BE600M1 on tons of toys. All are single battery units. In my rural area, blips in the power are too common so they keep my PC's, Poe switches, routers, ISP gateways, TV's etc safely powered without interruption. I do not have a whole home generator but...

    Camera Options...Help Me Find A Camera

    I am a fan of the Revotech's and have 5 in my current Blueiris setup. That pinhole only needs about a 3/16 inch hole but the tip of the lens needs to be flush with the exterior of the wall. Some come with an exterior microphone that works very well. Note that they do not have IR.
