Blue Iris camera setup: static IP and recording settings

This installation follows an upgrade from older BNC surveillance cameras to a computer running Blue Iris as the NVR. The metadata describes six VIKYLIN dual-lens 4K cameras. The site uses the cameras to monitor boats arriving for fuel and docking, with cabling returning to an office area.

Much of the work concerns physical installation: routing Ethernet through a drop ceiling, terminating cables and moving equipment away from the existing cable clutter. The speaker then works through camera discovery with a LAN scanner and attempts a factory reset before accessing the camera's browser interface. He assigns a static IP address ending in .100 to keep the cameras in order and changes the password.

In Blue Iris, which he says is still in demo mode while he waits for a code, he adds the first camera and selects direct-to-disk recording. He also works through frame-rate, audio, motion and triggered-recording settings. The brief reference to AI does not explain a model, detection service or local AI configuration, so this is primarily a surveillance setup walkthrough.

The outdoor work includes fitting sleeves and rubber seals around Ethernet connections to keep moisture out. Later, the speaker uses half-inch irrigation line to protect Ethernet cable and a printed Hikvision mount for a VIKYLIN camera. The transcript does not establish a completed six-camera configuration or provide a recording-performance test.
