Hi there, I used to use Foscam cams for the surveillance of my home and so far they worked quite well with BlueIris for not too much money. However, lately I came across these websites: Eavesdropping by the Foscam Security Camera - Schneier on Security and Foscam Security Cameras Full of...

No, it did not work with the previous version either...

Dear forum, I have a problem with the latest (4.1.5.0) Blue Iris version: I cannot control my Foscam's infrared lights via the light button. It won't work with none of my cams. However, when I log into the web-based manager I can control them and start or stop them. Any idea what I can do to...

To be honest, I am pretty happy with the solution to record on my NAS. So I can Access the files from everywhere, which is great. Plus I have a Samsung SSD left which I can use and return the faulty Seagate SSHD. But there is one Problem: Once in a while (while recording on NAS) I get a yellow...

Ok, will do. Or do you think it might be a Problem that it is the same drive on which Windows is installed? Thank you very much for your help!

Wow, after the first 30 minutes I would say this seems to have solved the Problem. I am now recording on a synology nas. What do you think? Is my Seagate 4TB SSHD faulty? I bought it last week. Apart from the lags I did not realize any Problems. What is your opinion on that?

Sorry for the silly question but where can I specify the rec directory? in the record tab I only can choose between New and Stored Forget it, already found it. Will test now...

I have no antivirus installed on this machine. It is my old pc refreshed for Blue Iris. I have the exact same framerate in Blue Iris that I have set in the camera Settings. As I said all lags are gone as Long as I do not record anything. Even the short 30 sec record cycle makes lags and Audio...

I have been using blue Iris dvr and direct to disc - but still, the lag Problem persists Would it help to use an SSD? I am currently using an i7 sandy Bridge cpu, 16 gigs of ram and a 4TB SSHD. And I am on Windows 8 Pro x64

No, did not really help. :-( What else could be the reason for that? Interestingly enough, I do not have those lags respectively skips when I watch the live Video in Foscam's browser based solution in Safari or Firefox on the same pc on which I have Blue Iris installed. So does this fact rule...

Well, in the Blue Iris log files I find nothing Special concerning lost packets. I let Blue Iris detect the cam. There not many different foscam Options in Blue Iris as it takes many Foscams combined. Increasing the buffer to 20mb helped in the sense that the yellow fps alerts are gone, but I...

Well, actually, both cables are really running along side by side. Might be that there are intereferences. However, I have no Problems when using foscam's browser-based Streaming app. No drops whatsoever. How can I check how many packets are being lost? Only Thing I found is a bandwith overview...

Dear all, I am using the latest blue Iris 4 Version with four foscam cams, three FI9828P which are connected wirelessly and one older FI9805W cam which is connected with a cable. All of them are set to 720p. However, I get a lot of fps drops on all cams but especially on the wired one. The fps...

You are right... it clicked in a single aha momet. Did not understand that I had to set continuous in the night trigger profile as well... I changed it and will test it tonight. Thank you very much for your kind help!

Sorry, but it won't work. I set up both schedules like you said and both work individually but not simultaneously. I have constant recording during day time but as soon as the night motion schedule starts (9pm) I get motion alerts but the recording stops which I can tell from the missing red...
