I'm trying to extract a clip using UI3. I've done this many times without problems, but recently no output file is being created. It goes through all of the expected steps, but there's no output file. I thought that the file might be going to some obscure folder, but I used Everthing.exe (a very...

This is a sad story of a homeowner in our county who was shot and killed in his own driveway exactly a year ago last Halloween night. The perp was rummaging through a car belonging to the homeowner's girlfriend. The victim worked a very early shift and was leaving for work around 3:30 am when...

About a year ago I added a 4TB D: drive to my system and moved the New and Stored folders there. About two months ago, I decided to take advantage of the 800+ GB of storage that was freed up on the C: drive. This seems to be working fine. I use variable bit rate (VBR) and low frame rates (5-10...

I have 20+ cameras, most of which are Amcrest IP5M-T1179 5mp "eyeball"-style. On one of them (and only one as far as I can tell) is a very small white "icon" that reminds me of a tiny eagle - or maybe the United Farm Workers logo. It has been there for at least several weeks, when I first...

I've been running BI for several years now. I have 20+ cameras, most of which are Amcrest IP5M-T1179 5mp "eyeball"-style. I also have several PTZ for taking a closer look. All of my cameras are POE or POE+. I don't generally trust WiFi for security applications, although I assume that it is...

I currently have about 10 of the IP5M-T1179 cameras running. Two of them, that I bought on Amazon back in Jan 2021, are the 3.1mm versions. I wanted those for some zones where detail was more important than a wide FOV. I recently went to order some more of the 3.1mm model, but it looks like...

Back around Jan/Feb 2021 I bought several Amcrest IP5M-T1179E cameras to replace older IP2M-844E 1080P Amcrest domes. After running the new cameras for several months and comparing them to similar cameras from another vendor I decided to buy a few more. I bought the new ones 1 or 2 at a time...

Something disappeared from a place where I keep it under cover outside. I suspect a yard worker may have taken it. Problem is, it could have happened any time over the last three months. Is there an efficient way to review long periods of activity from a single camera? The camera is triggered...

I've been running BI for about four years and have grown from about 8 cameras to more than 20 currently. I had been using an i7 processor laptop but had to move to a server to support all of the cameras. I decided to locate the server and POE switch in a small, hidden room and manage BI...

I have two ReoLink 5MP "eyeball" cams monitoring my front door. They were installed within a few weeks of each other as upgrades from some Amcrest 1080P "eyeball" cams. They've been working reliably for several months now, until yesterday. One of the cameras was offline in BI, but I could...

I had a problem for a year or more that I finally solved. An Amcrest "eyeball" camera on one side of my house would continually "go darker" and then lighten up cyclically at night. The cycle time was 2-3 minutes IIRC. I tried swapping with other cameras of the same type, but the problem...

I upgraded BI from v4 to v5 a few weeks ago. I like the new interface and nearly everything seems to be working, but I'm getting repeated timeouts using remote access from UI3. I've been using UI3 with v4 since it was released and rarely have had a problem with timeouts. I can't think of...

I've been running BI 4 with about 20 cameras for several years, so I'm pretty familiar with it. A few weeks ago, I upgraded to BI 5. Things seemed to be working ok until yesterday, when I noticed that all of the camera views on the main screen were frozen. I didn't even notice at first...

I'm running 10 cameras. I want to search for an event that occurred some time in the last 10 days. The event occurred in the view of a specific camera, so I want to search just that camera. Is there a way to do that? (this is my first post to the forum, so apologies if I'm bending any forum...

Apparently I copied an invalid IP address into the IP field when setting up a new camera. I've had this camera working before (earlier today and yesterday), but had been fine-tuning some parameters. Now I get an error window: "Blue Iris Video Security and Webcam software has stopped working" as...
