Flawlessly since one of the last c4 app updates. Been maybe couple of weeks or so. Up until then if I pulled it up on my iPhone the camera grid would show but if I selected a camera it would just sit there with the loading circle.

Drake0508 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Weird. Two of mine won’t load in the C4 app and one is stuck in still frame mode. Work perfect on my T3 and OSD as well as a kindle fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I did a test last night. My cameras work on the touchscreens and on the iOS app if I am on my home wifi network. When I leave my home wifi network and I try mobile data or another wifi network outside my house the cameras will not load. I am using the BI drivers which should handle all the port forwarding requirements as I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofakng Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Has anybody used Dahua cameras? They are highly recommended over at ipcamtalk.com and apparently Dahua manufactures cameras for a lot of the big names as well (i.e. Lorex by FLIR, etc). Also, is the Blue Iris driver free? The Control4 database shows Blue Iris drivers but haven’t been updated since 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Control4 database shows Blue Iris drivers but haven’t been updated since 2016. I use Dahua cameras and I like them. Clean/crisp images, not buggy, good uptime, etc. I've had 1 running for about 15 months and its flawless so when I just did a renovation I got a bunch more (from a dealer on ipcamtalk) and recently hung them at my house. I went for the Turret style. Inside my house I am using Vivotek because they had a form factor I needed not offered by Dahua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a local DHL center near me was not easy and I live 15 miles outside of NYC in a big suburban area. So I shipped it to my office.

sofakng Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Great, thanks again for the information. I just sent payment to andy for 2x Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and 1x IPC-HDW4231F-ASE. @msgreenf can I get a copy of the Dahua driver to see if it works better than the Blue Iris driver?

sofakng Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Sorry to bring up this topic again, but are there any Blue Iris drivers that let you view recordings? (yes, there are better interfaces for this, but it’s a nice feature to have on the C4 interfaces as well) Also, Gary seemed to hint at a possible update to the Blue Iris driver ...?

Gary Leeds UK Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The blue iris driver I was talking about was the free C4 driver which just allows you to see the feed from blue iris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegizzard Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I use Blue Iris and Not Control 4 for all of my cameras and I have 15. Here is why - 1. it is less than $50.00 2. it works with all IP cameras that expose their IP address. 3. you can see all cameras easily on your phone as well as your monitor 4. easily configured 5. you can get emails 6. watch real time any time 7. supports all features of the cameras Now - When I tried to get this into Control 4 - 1. interface issues 2. only certain cameras supported 3. cannot see anything immediately - the TV has to come on and warm up - if you are watching TV this can be irritating as well I would be interested in hearing why someone feels that putting cameras into Control 4 is a good or helpful idea? Thanks Bill I use ZoneMinder for all of these reason except ZoneMinder is free. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
