    BI5 crashes after 10 seconds.

    That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in event viewer either. There was recently a BI bug that made it crash frequently in certain situations, which was fixed in the latest 5.9.9.63 update.

    Blue Iris UI3

    UI3's help file is far from exhaustive. The vast majority of the UI settings are not mentioned there.

    Network Rack Install—Attic Penetrations—Best Practices...

    There are already a lot of cables coming into that room. Can't run them through the same spot for consistency? Attic is straight above this? It wouldn't be particularly pretty but I'd probably just buy a chunk of large PVC conduit (at least 2" diameter) and feed it straight up through the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I'm not sure what "the status bar" is. You can probably change your android settings to always show the bottom button bar so it doesn't appear and overlap with things. UI3's settings has a number of settings that may be helpful: "Preferred UI Scale"; if you set this to "Large" then many of...

    Need some help understanding how to make setup work with fiber.

    I'm going to link a bunch of stuff from amazon US as examples; I'm sure you can find comparable items in your country. This cable has a decently tough jacket and has 6 strands but the ends are loose and a bit delicate. Would be a tad tricky to pull through conduit. Maybe you're better off...

    Can I change the Native Home position on a cheap Chinese camera?

    Unless it is a really poorly made camera, moving twice an hour is not going to be a big problem. Lots of PTZs are configured to move dozens of times per hour on a continuous "tour" and they can last for many years. Although it certainly does wear them out faster than not moving it.

    Is it normal to heave two IP entries for the NVR?

    192.169.x.x is an internet-routable subnet that should not be used on a private LAN. Unless you like having random websites not work just because your LAN IP range happens to overlap with their WAN IP. private ipv4 ranges

    Google.com Vulnerability that bypasses anti-virus

    The "google.com vulnerability" has nothing to do with google search. It is just another one of many mechanisms a hacker could use on an already-compromised website to get that website to load their malicious script. The key is they already need to have compromised someone's website, and get...

    I was told that using a SSD for video recording was going to kill it...

    For a Samsung drive, I'd use Samsung Magician software to look at drive health in case the third-party app doesn't interpret all the data correctly. But yes, the notion that an SSD will die prematurely if you write continuous surveillance video to it is an oversimplification. The thing that...

    Blue Iris discount no longer available?

    Until Mike responds, there's no telling if or when he'll be able to restock Blue Iris keys or at what price. I can't vouch for this ebay seller but they do have an excellent rating and a good price. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but all signs suggest that everyone will be able to...

    Where to install cameras and what focal length

    I can understand the "Z4E" camera being too narrow to suit your tastes, but in the right position it can be a license plate capture cam, or otherwise be very valuable for capturing face and clothing detail for identification purposes. I keep one under my front porch on the ground where it looks...

    Can I change the Native Home position on a cheap Chinese camera?

    On dahua or hikvision cameras, they call it something like "park action" or "idle motion" or something like that, and allow you to choose a preset # to go to after X minutes.

    Help with vlan, vpn or whatever

    Those look like instructions to set up the Asus router as a VPN client with a third party VPN service, which is not typically helpful for remote access. He needs his router to be a VPN server. The reason you can't find a good guide for it is because the exact steps depend on way too many...

    Encountered unexpected Blueiris.pdf; stopping

    Weird. BlueIris.pdf is the help file. Check BI Settings > Storage tab. Look at the paths for all your folders and make sure none of them are pointing at your Blue Iris 5 program directory. Also search for "BlueIris.pdf" in the folders you do have configured to hold recordings.

    BI will not update the extended maint. plan

    Oh my. When you launch Blue Iris and it has reverted to trial mode, in the window where it is complaining about that, it might have a text box you can paste that URL into. I am not sure. I wonder if Blue Iris runs a local web server on port 9999 while that window is open, so that your...

    BI will not update the extended maint. plan

    You hadn't correctly censored the URL by the way. The link destination was still set to the full location. I edited it for you. Based on the beginning of the URL (http://localhost:9999), this was most definitely an internal failure on their end, not your fault. Without knowing who sent the...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    @jsnissen The N150 is kind of like a haswell i5 (e.g. i5-4570 from 12 years ago), but at a tiny fraction of the power consumption. So it should run 20 cameras with sufficient optimizations (~0.3 MP sub streams, 10-15 FPS), but would likely struggle at web streaming a 4K camera and such. If you...

    BI5 Hover Mouse Over video preview won't work

    I may be just ignorant, but I don't know of any mouseover video preview in Blue Iris. That is a feature I put into UI3 but as far as I know nothing like it has made it into Blue Iris's local app.

    IP Cameras for Non Internet Networks??

    You can never really trust anything without verifying. Dahua, Hikvision, and companies that rebrand them, could change their firmware's behavior any time between updates. At the very least they may try to connect to their home servers for "p2p" connection purposes unless you turn that off (or...

    Blue Iris grabbing wrong local IP

    By default, Blue Iris's web server listens on all available interfaces. You can prevent that by checking the box "Bind exclusively" in web server settings, but I don't recommend using this unless strictly necessary, and in that case make sure you assigned the IP address statically, not via DHCP.

    RTSP steam not working in BI but works fine in VLC and Home Assistant.

    I have a few ideas too if TonyR's suggestions don't fix it. 1. Try "Decoder compatibility mode" checkbox. 2. If these cameras are ONVIF compatible, use ONVIF Device Manager to reconfigure their encoding settings. 3. You could try running MediaMTX on the Blue Iris machine to proxy the video...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @JNDATHP Sounds like fun. UI3-294 will have new capabilities via UI Settings > Top Bar allowing you to change the system name button behavior to "Follow a Link", and selecting that will allow you to enter a link address on the next line. You'll also be able to customize the text of the system...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    Last week, I had an old mini PC die (it was 11+ yrs old) that was running Blue Iris, and I plugged its SSD into a different machine and loaded its registry to get Blue Iris's settings out of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software. So yes, you can pull BI settings off another machine...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @Heavyopp Do you access Blue Iris via a computer name? If so, try the IP address directly. It is possible that Brave started bypassing your system's DNS and is using its own?
