    BI no audio during playback

    All cameras do not have audio when played back in the viewer. In live view you hear the audio out of the default audio device. When playing back the audio power display is showing there is an audio track as its fluctuating like expected. Volume is up on the top of the viewer screen just no audio...

    Any issues with not using direct to disk recording?

    Sorry, disregard, When I set up my cameras I didn't enable DTD but when I checked the camera setting it is enabled in all cameras. Probably a default in BI. BI seems smarter than I am :facepalm::wtf: Thank you....

    Any issues with not using direct to disk recording?

    At the moment I am not using direct to disk recording or recording the sub stream continuously, just recording trigger events which is working fine so far. All cameras are recording continuously to 128g cards so if something is missed I could go directly to the camera. This makes it light for my...

    Z12E S2 IR illuminator, could you get a suntan with this thing?

    Ha Ha, Seriously though, I am astonished by the amount of focused IR this camera puts out! It can illuminate my mailbox and trees behind it from 310' away. I got a few low voltage alarms so I switched to POE++ and have no problems now. The only cameras I have seen with this kind of IR output...

    Trigger question

    If you have say three tripwires setup in a camera and two or three of them is triggered, does blue iris take the first one and ignores the other ones? I see this with my overwatch camera (cam 1) triggering on a vehicle and since it triggers the other camera in the group the trigger event in BI...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Learning a lot. Few more quick ones. Should I touch the iris control? Am i right to understand that allows more light into the camera? What is over exposure compensation and in what cases would you need it? Facing into sun, something close reflecting IR light at night? Thanks guys, Don't...

    Anyone here used custom audio files?

    I was thinking the BI rout eventually , keeping it simple for now. The 54pro seems to have lots of memory 2+4G which seems high. Just checking if anyone else had experience. I will experiment and share my findings. Thanks again....

    Anyone here used custom audio files?

    One of the reasons I looked at the 45PRO was to play audio from external speakers that escalated as you got closer to my shop. Works great so far using the available audio clips (about 10 of them) but wanted to know if anyone here ever used a custom audio file loaded to the camera before? In the...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Yes, I used your post as a starting point and am primarily focusing on setting up the Z12E-S2 for the long 300' road shot. From that I'm starting to get an idea about what goes into getting a good image. I do have a question though, If you set up your camera to get a perfect image say at 8AM...

    Blue Iris purchase from 3rd party?

    It is now time for me to move from the evaluation phase and buy a license. I found it very strange that when you buy a license on their site you are directed to a third party software site. They do not have their own front end for sales and monthly subscription revenue seems a bit strange but I...

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

    Probably not doing this right as I am still learning but I set up one ivs rule to alert for animals at night, three tripwires entering driveway, in parking lot, and right at the mandoor. Works for me but what do I know, it might not next week... I am sure there will be someone that will point...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Been testing [ and reading/learning] the 54IR on a test board and I like it out of the box. the PRO seems brighter but more jagged image but I need to learn how to dial in cameras for day/night as I am sure I can get a better image after that. Been reading a lot about that but would appreciate a...

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

    Had the same problem with my cameras, andy responded with name each IVS rule in the camera and set up a trigger in BI that looks for the name. That was the only way BI would trigger and needed the 00000 in the second ONVIF source as wittaj mentioned. But hey, if just a newbie :)

    Quick question about camera status window

    "Quality Time" being the most important, not skimming. Attempting to learn two new complex platforms at my age is like picking up a basket of balls and thinking you can juggle :) I will endever to read more first then ask questions if its clear as mud. A lot of different pieces that need to fit...

    Quick question about camera status window

    Not it. Its not PTZ, Motion is off in BI, Motion is off in camera, SMD is off in camera, and they seem to appear even when there is no motion in the activity. It has a mind of its own it seems.

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I have a 4K Hikvision clone with varifocal lens 12mm on the far end to deal with that. There are three more cameras they drive by to get into the shop. 1200' to the road. Even have 433mhz triple pir beam sensors that trigger back to the rack. My neigbors call me "A security Enthusiast" lol...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Yes master :facepalm: , did that after I seen the image. Wont be doing that again. I bought that camera for the IVS and inputs/outputs as its primary task. There are other cameras closer to that end of the shop that I can get the detail needed. Lot to learn..... Thanks

    Quick question about camera status window

    Under MPixels what is the second number represent? "Fieldcam" is a 5MP on a 2.8 sensor I think but shows 0.3, "Fieldreo" is a 8MP on a very small sensor (reolink crap) and shows 0.2 Now heres what I dont get. The new "Empireteck" is 4MP on a 1.8 sensor but it still shows 0.3? Also if there is...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I received my IPC-T54PRO-A5 and am impressed with the night vision and on board intelligence. This camera was chosen to provide an escalation response to the approach to my shop by using three IVS tripwires as shown in the picture. From my initial testing the IVS and camera outputs work fine for...

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    I stumbeled on a post reply somewhere from wittaj that touched on the logic flow from MD, SMD, and IVS. As a new guy I started seeing unicorns at that point. :wow: I am attemting to get some hikvision clones IVS to play nicely and the vendor doesnt seem to have a clue.:idk:
