    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    My installed version of BI 5 was at most 2 updates old so I cannot believe that was an issue. In any event, I sent that same report to BI Support and received a reply from "Jennifer" who stated the following: Sometimes this happens if you previously had a very old version 5 on the system. Run...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    What is your magic with Win11Pro?! I am trying to install BI v5 on a new PC running Windows 11 Pro. My prior PC was running Windows 7 Pro and I exported my settings to a BI.reg file. I downloaded the current full v5 from the BI download page and installed that on the Win11 Pro PC. When prompted...

    BIT install error message re comctl32.dll

    I uninstalled BIT so no files are left, but I can retry the install and duplicate everything. One question: BI is installed in the C:\Program Files folder. The default when installing BIT is the C:\Program Files (x86) folder. Does this matter? Should BIT be installed in the C:\Program Files...

    BIT install error message re comctl32.dll

    When trying to install BIT I get a message of "An access violation occurred while copying the file" (C:\Windows\system32\comctl32.dll) If I click on "Ignore" it "says" BIT was installed, but I cannot get the weather overlays to work anyway. Related? I checked the Help file online but the...

    Migrate BI4 to a new CPU, best way to transfer all settings and license

    I have used it but it tends to be quite buggy with a GUI that is not very intuitive. It took me numerous iterations to finally get things "mostly" consistent/accurate. In the final analysis, the only interesting added value is the ability to enlarge/resize the camera image windows. At this point...

    BI Tools backup not working

    I backed up my BIT settings before migrating BI to a new PC. I got BI up and running and imported its saved settings so my cameras are working. However, as for BIT, I see no way to import my saved prior settings so does that mean I have to relearn how to set everything up again in BIT? Weather...

    Migrate BI4 to a new CPU, best way to transfer all settings and license

    BI appears to be up and running on my "new" eBay PC (Dell 9020 Optiplex with i7 4770). CPU now runnign at ~17%. :-D How can I import my previously saved/backed up BIT settings? I do not see where/how to do that through the BIT GUI. Many thanks!

    Migrate BI4 to a new CPU, best way to transfer all settings and license

    My current PC running BI may be terminal so I may not be able to deactivate my license before reloading BI onto a replacement PC. Luckily I have my BI (and BI Tools) settings exported and saved, but how can I transfer my BI license? Also, if I am moving BI from Windows 7 to Windows 10, will my...

    Not exactly a NVR or computer but ...... it cool ...

    Razer, I'm sure you've seen the recently released Amazon Echo Show. Maybe a hack will come along to allow Alexa to show our camera feeds as you mentioned.

    Stream Apple TV content over cat5e to multiple TVs > viable solution?

    I do not know the exact frequency range/spectrum of the Ethernet signal, and I have not researched how the HDMI-over-Cat5e converters work (no doubt other on this forum do know and can correct me and/or educate us all), but it is my understanding that the converters create an "Ethernet-like"...
