I just found an Amcrest IPM 721S that I used to use some years ago. I'd like to revive and use it. I downloaded the latest firmware, manuals, software for the camera. I think I used to use Blue Iris. Is there a better choice between the Amcrest software/app and Blue Iris? Do both or either one...

We had an incident so I foolishly went out in a rush and bought the 3-camera Arlo Pro system at Costco without doing any research. We're doing indoor only. I have a copy of Blue Iris from our old house (but left the Foscams behind). I was um, upset when I found that Netgear Arlo couldn't store...

I tried it with the PC firewall and antivirus off, still no dice. I think I'll go back through the wizard thing again. UPDATE: OK, did that, and it looks like the uPnP rule for port 81 was removed somehow from the router config. That part of the wizard is a bit confusing, you have to remember to...

Still having this problem, it's driving me nuts. Checked and double checked everything, now I can't connect from LAN or WAN. No IP addresses changed for LAN or WAN. I can't be rebooting my cable modem all the time to get this working. Is there any kind of troubleshooting log I can check on the...

right, got the :81 at the end, in both places.

I do have a Netgear C6300 modem router combo, and re-checked the local (LAN 192.168.x.x) IP for the laptop running blue iris and made sure that the BI app uses that, both are correct. Works on WAN, but not on LAN. Thanks for your help.

I'm running the latest version of blue iris on my windows 10 laptop, and v2.0.34 of the app on my samsung android phone. It was all working great, until recently. When the camera is tripped, I get the texts from blue iris, so that part is OK. But when I try to use the app, I get "Unable to...

Nice, but can't do POE, need AC power and wifi.

I like what I'm seeing with these Hikvisions, but seems to be a lot of negativity with the suppliers sending Chinese versions, and they don't include AC power adapters? I can't do POE, my router is in another room.

I had a setup at our old house with about six Foscam cameras (never make that mistake again) and Blue Iris. Other than the unreliability of the foscam cameras, it was great. We moved to an apartment and I left the cameras for the new owner but kept the blue iris. Now we're in an apt and have...

In trying to have the clips created on the local drive folder for google drive, I've seen a few folks say they solved this by changing 'permissions' but haven't quite gotten out of anyone what those permissions settings are. I assume that the blue iris service has to be somehow allowed to save...

Thanks - setting the audio to 'not specified' solved it. Not sure why it didn't just default to that, and why selecting one of the valid choices didn't work. I guess it's a bug that still needs to be fixed.

I had v3.x and now upgraded to 4.x but same problem - when I double click on a .bvr clip in windows explorer (win 7 64 bit home pro) it plays back in blue iris, but I get no audio. I have the audio settings correct in BI and my speaker on the laptop is on, other audio plays, just not in BI...

I'm confused by the settings for scheduling of motion recording and alerting. I'm using Blue Iris 3.56 on Windows 7 to control a bunch of home Foscam cameras. When we are home during the day and there is lots of 'normal' activity I'd like certain cameras to not record anything. At night when we...
