    Moved the PC to a new location and BI does not work

    OMG. And I looked for exactly that. Thanks, and sorry to post without doing the research!

    Moved the PC to a new location and BI does not work

    Well, it actually does work, but it has a big 'evaluation copy' watermark on all the cameras. I have a license for this, but I don't have the original email with the full registration ID, so I can't deregister/reregister the license key. How do I recover the license key so I can use BI in...

    BI: syncing triggers between cameras

    Found 'groups' configuration and set both cameras to trigger the group they both belong to, and removed 'sync to cam2' setting. Took me a while but I think I have it figured out. Waiting for someone to drive in! Sorry to waste everyone's time here. Guess I'm an old feller with no patience...

    BI: syncing triggers between cameras

    I have a two-cam installation in a trailer park covering the entry driveways. Using BI version 5 (installed just a few months ago) I would like BOTH cameras to start recording when EITHER motion triggers. This would give me 2 views of every vehicle arriving/leaving. I tried syncing one camera...

    Protecting a cash drop box

    @TonyR: thanks for this! I've used WDS network extenders in other places, so this sounds good. My last problem is that I can't really have a bulky PC in a rental, so what are my options for 24X7 recording? I can port forward the cameras out to the internet but will this work reliably to a BI...

    Protecting a cash drop box

    Right on the front porch - see pics. Just having cars parked under the carport is a good deterrent, but people are crazy anymore. The other camera has a view of the box from about 80 ft away. I was thinking about a rafter-mounted camera on the porch about 8-10 feet from the box, which would...

    Protecting a cash drop box

    My break-in has me spooked, so I'm looking for a way to identify anyone approaching a cash drop box some of my renters use. I have a camera about 100' away that will pick up vehicle proximity but I see that another close-up camera would be needed if it is ever vandalized. The box is mounted on...

    Newbie caught a break-in! But...

    Installed my first system about 10 days ago, with Blue Iris and two cameras in a small trailer park. I pretty much kept Blue Iris defaults, so the cams triggered on motion and recorded for 30 seconds or so. Cameras are located at opposite ends, one on first trailer, one on the last, about 140'...

    multiple blue iris installations

    With this arrangement, could I not just quick-view each substream on my phone? Instead of another BI installation at home? The other thing I like about this method is that I don't need a PC powerhouse to have BI run 1 or 2 cameras.

    multiple blue iris installations

    So what I have to do is monitor the parking lot (1 or 2 cameras) at several small trailer parks we run. I have high speed internet at each park, with cat5 to each trailer. I have two options: 1. wire every IP camera to its local router and monitor everything from home with BI over the...

    Greetings from Tennessee, USA

    Happy to join, hoping to learn. I have some experience with security cameras that I set up for local viewing at home, mostly to watch the driveway and monitor 5 horses in their stalls. I used a package chinese DVR system, 8 channel analog cameras, and monitored the system via IE browser that...
