    BI 5 and Auto Tracking

    That's because you are recording Continuous, so the footage is recorded to a BVR file. The problem is Blue Iris is missing motion triggers, so it is not creating Alert images to where motion was triggered in your recorded footage. This may be the result of you enabling "Object detection"...

I used to be able to control Blue Iris 5 from my Amazon Echo Dot 2nd generation device. Some time ago, about 1-2 months, it stopped working with Alexa. The following...

    "Error Importing Registry Key 5"

    bp2008, is there any chance that the import problem may be a permission issue on the "a1" registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\?

    Trying to open BI recordings from harddrive, says i need to run as admin

    Recording your camera using .BVR file container allows you to open and play that clip while it is still being recorded. Normally, in order to play a video clip you have to wait for all recording to stop and the file to be closed. If you record 24/7 continuously (not triggered), then .BVR offers...

    Trying to open BI recordings from harddrive, says i need to run as admin

    You won't see an option for "Run as administrator" when you right click on a video file. You will see "Play" or "Open in Blue Iris". I suspect you are recording with BVR in Blue Iris as the file container format. The .BVR format is exclusive to Blue Iris. When you double click on a recording...

    IAmATeaf, since tai4de2 cameras are configured for 15fps, then 1 I-frame per second is the same as saying an I-frame interval every 15 frames. So he matched the camera's frame rate to the i-frame interval, with the exception of his wifi camera where the I-frame is every 5 seconds. That means his...

    For people encountering unexplained high CPU utilization

    From my understanding, it doesn't affect all PCs running 1903 with KB4512941. Microsoft is reporting that only a small percentage of users are encountering this problem. If anyone has an unexplained increase in CPU usage, check Task Manager and look for high CPU usage from SearchUI.exe. If so...
