configuring the zmodo ZP-IBi-13W camera to work with Blue Iris Software.

Off topic.......configuring the zmodo ZP-IBi-13W camera to work with Blue Iris Software.

Many people have had issues getting these cameras to display video in any other sotware except the supplied z-viewer.  Here is how I got it working with the Blue Iris Software.  The settings may work with other software but have not been tested.



Pre-Requisites

First set the camera up using the instructions with the camera using zviewer and zsight software.
You will need to find the cameras wireless ip address.  If possible set this statically by connecting to the cameras IP address using internet explorer.  ..http://ip-of-camera...  Note it does not work with Firefox of chrome.
Once working you need to install Blue Iris Software on a machine which can contact the cameras.  Usually this will be sitting on the same network but it will work over a router network providing  the required ports are allowed

Blue Iris Installation

Load up the Blue Iris Software and Add a new camera
On the video tab tick the option for Anamorphic (force size) then type 1280 x 720.
Select Max.rate 25.00 fps.
Click configure

 

Now the important settings:
Using the IP address of your camera, enter it in the address field.
Set the port to 9000
 

Set Make to Zmodo
Set Model to ISV-BFS2 etc……..(mobile port)
The other two option I selected are circled below also.

 





Click okay and all being well your camera will display.

Also you can configure the Motion Capture and record settings as required allowing video to be captured.

Apple MAC Fake Virus Alert

Similar to the windows fake AV alerts, MAC users have now been targeted with a fake AV scam. After visiting an infected site, the software scans the users hard disk and reports on viruses found. Users are then given the opportunity to purchase remedial AV software, thus parting with credit card information. The trick here is that is can masqurade as the legitimate MAC Defender application making the users less suspicious about the warnings. Apple Mac users have been adviced to disable a setting in the Safari browser that allows "safe" files to be automatically installed. Full details on removing and preventing this malware can be found here. Apple MAC Malware Removal

Fortinet releases 5.6 FortiOS for Fortigate but Analyzer users should not upgrade yet.

The new release of FortiOS has been around for several weeks now, however many users are realising that they cannot continue to use their FortiAnalyzer running the 5.4 code.  It needs to be upgraded to 5.6 on the Analyzer as well. One problem is that we are still waiting for 5.6 for FAZ.  Therefore people are downgrading. In all fairness the FAZ compatibility guide is quite clear but why release one without the other.
