    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.

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    I don't understand the problem. @TonyR told you how to properly handle weatherproofing the connectors, and you insult him because he also suggested a more reliable wifi solution?

    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

    Then check if there is some kind of VPN being used by Brave (for "privacy").

    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?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I haven't seen this happening. Looks like the audio player is crashing (the one used when you unmute camera audio in UI3). Does it happen reliably? Can you try in an incognito window (so all browser extensions are deactivated) and unmute the audio in UI3 and see if it occurs there too...

    Can 1 cat5e power two ip cams?

    Here are some more options. "MokerLink" makes some astonishingly cheap outdoor PoE switches that take incoming data and PoE power from one cable and distribute it across 3 or 4 output PoE ports. https://amazon.com/dp/B0C84ZY6R5 They are entirely made of cheap plastic aside from the switch...
