    BI 6 HQCam not recording

    Thanks for your help Bruce. I'm guessing i should see the FPS/Key as "20.0/1.0" in the General/Status for the Camera? Its not erroring and its hovering around 19-21 followed by /1.0 fps:

    BI 6 HQCam not recording

    The strange thing was that it wouldnt alert when in day mode and is now working in night mode. This is the status: It does appear to use H264: The FPS is 20 but not sure where the key rate is. The camera is a chinese special. HQCam PS6Lite IP POE Camera from Shenzhen Hanqin Electronic...

    BI 6 HQCam not recording

    Rather strangely it does seem to be recording alerts now. It's a being used as bird box camera and my switiching the light on and off and sticking something in the hole (so to speak) didnt trigger any alerts but the resident Blue Tit returning seems to have kicked things off! It's still...

    BI 6 HQCam not recording

    Hi, I hope someone can help me. I just bought BI 6 and it connected with my HQCam and HIKVision cameras OK. HIKVision was used before on the trial version of BI some time ago and it picked up the old configuration. I have a problem with the HQCam though. I can't get it to record after any...

    Blue Iris witout Maintenance

    Hi, I have two cameras for a nestcam (one inside and one outside) and currently use AgentDVR. AgentDVR is Ok for a freebie but Blue Iris looks orders magnitude better plus would give me remote viewing. Is it feasible/practical to just buy the package and not have the maintenance (obviously...

    IoS App for Ip Cameras

    Hi, I'm being a cheapskate and trialling iSpy instead of buying Blue Iris for two Bird Box cameras. Onces an old HIKVision DS-2CD2042 and the others a 4MP HQCam from China (both IP Cams). I can do most of what I want with iSpy but my question is - is there a free iOS App that I can use to look...

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Would I go for the lowest focal length possible? Some of these Aliexpress cameras go down to 1.6mm. The camera would be around 6" away from the birds and the style of bird box looks at the botton of the box at an angle (rather than straight down from above) and would take in the entrance hole.

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Would I go for the lowest focal length possible with these? Some of them go as low as 1.6mm. With the box I want to use Hi Tony, actually the Aliexpress camera is more suitable as its much smaller and would fit into the bird box I want to use. Thanks so much for your kind offer though,it...

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Hi TonyR, Thats a real shame as it was exactly the kind of thing I was after. Shipping costs to the UK far exceed the camera cost! Thanks anyway. Interesting reading about your experiences with your camera.

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Hi, I want to setup a bird box camera. I'm in the UK and there are some off the shelf offerings available here but they are expensive for what they are and none of them do everything I want (apart from the ones with cloud storage at cost!). I've played with BI before on the trial version and...

    IP Camera Recommendation for UK

    Hi, Apologies that this may be a very 'general' question but just looking for some pointers for a new IP camera to cover the front of my house. I've got a Hikvision Bullet IP camera mounted on 1st floor eaves which is a few years old and its pretty hopeless. It''s triggered at the slightest...

    What the hell!!

    Hi, can anyone tell me what th hell is going on here? I see this from time to time. It wasn't snowing or raining, it was a cold night. My best guess is that it's warm air coming from around our poorly fitted windows. I have a couple of the usualk spider webs which trigger my camera every...
