    Suddenly "No video stream" and no trigger recording on 11 of 15 cameras

    Does Blue Iris post all release notes by version somewhere? I tried to find release notes for the version I am on 5.8.4.5 but on their website I only find release notes for 5.8.5.6

    Suddenly "No video stream" and no trigger recording on 11 of 15 cameras

    That issue actually was from the latest stable release.

    Suddenly "No video stream" and no trigger recording on 11 of 15 cameras

    I received a response from Blue Iris support. Uncheck the "Enable Audio Channel" setting on the Audio tab for the camera if it does not support Audio. As of version 5.8.4 and newer it is considered a signal loss if audio is enabled but not present. It corrected the issue for me without the need...

    Suddenly "No video stream" and no trigger recording on 11 of 15 cameras

    I am running Blue Iris 5.8.4.5. This issue popped up in the last couple weeks at one of my 2 installations. I am mostly using the exact same cameras in both locations, but at this location most of the cameras will not trigger or record on motion. When I look at the status the cameras are showing...

    I learned a valuable lesson about installing outdoor bullet cams today

    On one camera it kind of puckered out on one side and that one was a little easier to get off. On the other, it was like a 20 min chore including hauling a ladder up to the roof. That one was completely flat and just baked on hard.

    I learned a valuable lesson about installing outdoor bullet cams today

    That lesson is don't forget to peel off the protective film on the front when you are done. Let that bake in the sun for a year and a half and you will be out there with a plastic tool trying to scrape it off in 1mm size bits. This is especially not fun standing on a ladder hanging over the...

    Is it possible to adjust zoom on a varifocus camera from the BI mobile app?

    Do you know if there is some configuration or setting required to get it to work? I couldn't get it to work with my new Dahua camera. I tried just now with my generic Chinese cams and those do work, however. My new camera is Loryta IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E 5mm - 64mm that I purchased on Amazon. The...

    Is it possible to adjust zoom on a varifocus camera from the BI mobile app?

    On my 100 yard range, it is somewhat difficult to get my "target cameras" dialed in. I am using 5mm - 50mm (one 60mm) cameras that are about 85 yards down range, and then zoomed into the targets at 100 yards. I am trying to center the target in the monitor and zoom in so that it mostly fills the...

    Anyone have experience with Retail EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance/Anti-Theft) systems purchased from China?

    We are only trying to reduce loss of small expensive items like optics or knives. Lately it seems we have a high employee turnover rate and suspect employee theft more so than customers. We want to tag specific, individual retail boxes at this point.

    Anyone have experience with Retail EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance/Anti-Theft) systems purchased from China?

    This is a long shot, but since so many here are into surveillance systems and buying cameras from China, I thought it would be worth a try. We are interested in buying am EAS systems for our retail store. In the US they sell for around $1800 each, but I many systems on AliExpress for under...

    Time server off by 30 minutes?

    You are right. The cameras at my house have a setting called "DST Bias" and they were set to 30 mins. Swapping that to 60 mins fixed it. Thanks!

    Time server off by 30 minutes?

    I noticed this morning on my home BlueIris system that the time on my cameras was off by 30 minutes. I am using the camera OSD only so I went to look at the time settings. It was configured to use time.windows.com. Since I am having success running the W32Time service on my BlueIris servers at...

    I created a target camera system for a 100 yard indoor range

    We opened the range in July, 2020. We have LED lighting. Since the 100 yard bay is so dang long, we raised the baffles on this one up to 10' high so it isn't so much "tunnel vision". Here is a shot from one of the tables showing the installed camera system with the target down at 100 yards. The...

    Any good tutorials on setting up/configuring VPN on Windows for remote BlueIris access?

    I found the simplest solution was to install the QVPN app on my NAS that has OpenVPN support. It also already had their DDNS service running so then it was pretty simple to forward 1194 UDP to the NAS. It's working great!
