Thank you that worked. Having BI since ~2014 this was the first hiccup so I was not sure what deactivating would do (mess up any settings, etc). seemed rather easy, and now I am back up and working (though I had to put in the product key again but no big deal).

I tried with ALU and didnt find anything but I did reference there was an 11 page thread and was this associated with that issue as well….

so if I go to re-add my most recent product key it says you have already entered it. When it comes to my overall license, I see the right one listed, but I do not see how to re-enter it short of clicking "deactivate" and then I guess following steps to reactivate it. Is that what you did to...

So out of the blue today I see (pun kinda intended) I see “ALU” in blue across 9 of my 12 cameras. Odd. I look and I am on 5.6.x.x and there are newer versions, but my subscription lapsed in Oct ‘22. Things work fine, no new features have appealed to me, so I didn’t renew. After rebooting BI...

no fix. And I am using Cisco SG switches. I’ve moved between switches and same outcome. These are direct runs and no patch panels.

Well I had the issue again, and I could not log into the UI with the URL on my LAN. I've tested the cable with 2 different testers, both pass on each test. I am at a loss, so I rewired how I have things powered. I isolated this camera on its own PoE Injector, and I have that plugged into a...

Thanks, my date/time format was similar but using a different NTP Server so I changed it to the one shown in the image on that link and I also set up an auto reboot for 1x a week.

Hmm, great question. I've done many things to trouble shoot but I forget if I tried to log into the UI or just took the message at face value Did you have any resolution to your situation?

Not directly - only via Blue Iris Hmm good point. but agree, doesn't solve the root issue.

Hello I have a 5MP Amcrest Turret I got from Amazon in May. I notice that every ~7-10 days it is offline and I need to reboot it and it works. I've tested the Ethernet cable and its fine. I have literally 12 other cameras on my network (other brands) and zero issues. I have tried two...

We have iOS and don't see Tasker and agree $5/month would be excessive My wife knows how to turn on a VPN on a desktop (uses it for work daily) its just a matter of remembering to do it on iOS for Blue Iris That said I just said iOS had this "feature" - maybe I'll play later to see if it works...

Thanks all - I have my VPN set up via my Mikrotik router. The trick will be for me to teach my wife to turn on the VPN first then open the Blue Iris app vs just opening up the Blue Iris app.

I am using BI remotely via their encryption at or at least I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that there was some level of encryption/security on the end of BI. I do have a VPN that I use for other tasks, I guess I could not let BI speak to the outside world and just turn on my VPN then open the BI app.

Yep got me to 2.8 - thanks!

I am on 2.622 with a IPC-HDW5631R-ZE - are there other firmwares I need to load in succession or just the latest one in the first post of this thread is fine?
