Dr Noisewater Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am looking to integrate Blueiris into C4. My dealer has given it a solid effort but was unfortunately unsuccessful. Currently, we have 24 Dahua cameras along with a stand alone Blueiris machine which works nicely. What driver or drivers are best for the cameras/Blueiris integration? Are some of the drivers better then others when it comes to resolution or general functionality? If anyone has solved similar issues and wants to take a swing at it I am ready. I attached a snap of whats showing in Composer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcovach Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 There are a couple of great 3rd party driver options for sale on blackwire. 24 cameras in blue iris would require a decent computer to process all that. Keep that in mind. If your dealer is unfamiliar with this type of integration, I can offer remote service to set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have Dahua cams (plus C4 doorstation) and BlueIris - I use the driver from Blackwire. It's awesome. I love being able to touch a certain section of the picture and have Control4 trigger an action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Noisewater Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 It sounds like blackwire will be the way forward.I also have a door station in play as well. Does the door station also hook in with black wire or does it continue using the basic drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it's a fully supported door station with control4, you can most likely still bring that door station into blue iris. It depends if blue iris supports it.... which is more likely than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have the DS2 mini. I pull the camera feed in to BlueIris for recording and what not, but I don't pull the BlueIris feed of the DS2 in to Control4....Control4 takes care of that with the DS2 driver. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Noisewater Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I just wanted to give a big thanks to Dcovach, he got the blackwire driver installed and everything is looking great. Much appreciated! msgreenf and dcovach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
