    Blue Iris Rich Notifications not working over LAN -- Work fine on Cellular

    I just want to add that I had the same problem but the solutions in this thread didn't work for me. What I learned was that with Tomato firmware, NAT loopback under Advanced -> Firewall does NOT work if CTF (Cut-Through Forwarding) is enabled under Advanced -> Miscellaneous. Un-checked this box...

    problems with every update 100% repeatible

    Frist off thank you! This same issue just happened to me after updating and I had no idea how to resolve it. Seems ridiculous this hasn't been fixed. Worse, now it seems that for every Camera in which I had to change the short name, my history has completely been lost. The files are still on my...

    Can login remotely thru Blue Iris Android app but not UI3 browser

    I jsut had the same issue and it wasn't a wrong directory but a botched update / install. If I disabled UI3 it worked which led me to this reddit post: This issue was a missing ui3 folder under the www install directory. I was able to restore this from an old backup and voilà it worked again!

    Review: Dahua IPC-EW5531-AS 5MP Fisheye Camera

    OP, may I ask what Network IP settings you are using in Blue Iris? The Find/Inspect goes through its motions but then all I get is a "no video" message.

    Blue Iris can't connect on LAN Network

    My wife's the iPhone user not I, but isn't there a way to reset all app permissions? Of course all apps on your phone will now re-ask for access. Did your problem start only after an app update or are you a new user?

    What happens if I update? Support maintenance plan expired

    What's the advantage to using substreams from the cameras? Thanks for the upgrade info. Is the annual support fee cheaper than the initial license fee?

    What happens if I update? Support maintenance plan expired

    My support & maintenance plan has expired and Blue Iris wants me to update. It doesn't let me pick any of the latest versions (which is expected) but in the "Another previous update" dropdown, is BI smart enough to only select versions that were out while my plan was still active? Or is there...

    Blue Iris can't connect on LAN Network

    I'm having the same issue but there is no local network permissions listed for blue iris. On app ver 2.02.02 and ios 14.6. There is a local network setting for other apps, just not BI. Edit - reinstalled the app and suddenly it appeared. Probably a bug when upgrading BI versions.

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    Just wanted to say that this helped me and unbricked an Amcrest cam of mine after a failed firmware update. I had no way of getting into my camera and it would simply reboot over & over. I was able to download the firmware and flash it using the method above. I didn't have to change any of the...

    Super Wide Angle Blue Iris Compatible Camera?

    I've tried to explain that wide angle lenses are not always best for security cameras but after seeing a Ring cam with it's 150° view my father wants to set up something similar. He is currently using an HikVision cam with a field of view of 98° but wants something wider for his next camera...

    Slow first load in app?

    I read over the optimization guide and unless I missed it I never saw an SSD being a requirement. Anyways, I went ahead and reluctantly bought one moving the appropriate folders over to it. Milestone always did fine on my mechanical HD and even the webUI for Blue Iris loaded fine using it. It...
