    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    I do have a copy of the firmware that I have installed on some other cameras I have of the same manufacturer. Since this one is 300 miles away at another home, I am not going to attempt to do a firmware update right now. I don't think they ever succeeded at updating the firmware to whatever...

    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    I agree. This morning I was looking into what was happening and testing a few things. As the camera is remote, I was being careful so as not to lose it completely. I found that it had an IP Filter setting that allowed me to whitelist my IP which is also my Blue Iris server IP. That worked...

    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    I have a camera at a remote location that is being attacked. This is an ICSEE type cheap Chinese camera. I have an open port on the router and since it is remote I can't easily change the port number. I did change the password on the camera but that had no effect on the attacker. I don't...

    Blue Iris stopped posting snapshots to networked computers

    For years I have posted jpg snapshots from 4 cameras to my weather computer located on the same network with my camera computer. The weather computer then uses the snapshots. After the Windows Update on October 31, 2023, this stopped working. Both computers are running Windows 10. I have...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Ahhh, okay I will give that a try. Thanks! It still might be a good option for a future release. I am a web designer but a lot of folks would not even attempt to do that modification.

    Blue Iris UI3

    This may have been suggested before, but I failed to find it while searching. I like to use an Amazon Show 5 to view my cameras in ui3 using the built in Silk browser. It works pretty well except that the browser will close itself after a few minutes of inactivity. I found this script called...

    Unable to set or retrieve PTZ camera presets

    Follow up: I solved this issue and am posting the solution for the benefit of anyone setting up an ICSEE camera in Blue Iris. --- Research indicated that ICSEE and Xmeye are basically the same camera. BI has a preset under the Video configuration for Xmeye. I tried it with my ICSEE camera and...

    Unable to set or retrieve PTZ camera presets

    Thanks. The ONVIF (OXML) is the only protocol I got to work with the first camera or the new one. I am setting and retrieving them through the web ui.

    Unable to set or retrieve PTZ camera presets

    I had an outdoor ICSEE Chinese PTZ camera that worked fine with Blue Iris-5. It was damaged by lightning so I bought a new one just like it thinking I would install it and keep going without a lot of hassle. Well it did install easily and works fine with one caveat. In Blue Iris it will no...

    5.3.1 - July 16, 2020 Your Blue Iris web server now is also an RTSP server.

    For anyone wanting to experiment with the Blue Iris RTSP feed to Monocle. Blue Iris needs to be set to Direct-to-Disk under the Recording tab/Video file format and compression button. This is found under camera settings for the individual camera you want to stream. Below is a screenshot of...

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    I have been playing with Monocle and have discovered something that might help a few people get it working. I have several cameras all the same brand and model. Some of them worked with Monocle and some didn't. When I started comparing the settings in the cameras I discovered that the ones...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Same problem here. It appears the .zip still has the old ui2.htm file in it.

    I'll do it. :)

    Upload snapshot to two FTP sites at once?

    Thanks for the reply! I did as you instructed and it does the trick with only a little more load on the computer. --- If the authors are reading this though I would like to suggest a feature for the next version and that would be the ability to FTP to more than one destination per camera.
