    Two new problems when I updated BI

    Problem 2 was solved by messing with the Image Format on the Camera Video setup page. I am not sure what exactly I did and how it helped, but it is fixed. It is a mystery to me.

    Changing fonts-

    I finally tried the permutions. There were a total of 8 permutations. I got it to work after 5 or six tries.

    Changing fonts-

    Great idea, change the widows default fonts! I just took a look at that. Unfortunately it can't happen with a registry edit. I am not even certain that it carry over into Blue Iris. It looks like I will be trying permutations and see what gets accepted.

    Two new problems when I updated BI

    I was replacing a camera and in the process kinda mucked things up. Added a camera and changed the ethernet LAN in the house, new cables put in a new POE hub. Problem 1: I somehow lost my favorite startup screen. It had the live cameras on the right 2/3 of the screen. The left third of the...

    Is BI acting weird for anyone else? one camera sees a truck other 3 cameras see nothing?

    Do the timestamps match? It could be a lot of lag in some of the cameras/

    Changing fonts-

    Is it possible to change the fonts in Blue Iris. The passwords for a couple of my cameras contain "O/O" (zero/capitol O) and "I/l" (Capitol I/small L) and I can't tell them apart. Is it possible to change the font so these two pairs of characters are easier to distinguish? I am moving...

    Need some help.

    I had a lot of issues getting the new ISP service straightened out. I ended up taking my slow wireless/wired router out of the system. It was between my server and the ISP modem. I replaced it with a smart switching hub that goes to the server and the POE hub for the cameras. It was getting...

    Need some help.

    I am confused. BI is trying to connect using xxx.xxx.xx.179 . The QuantumFiber modem says the IPV4 IP address is xxx.xxx.xx.178. The Net gear router gives a completely different IP Address and Gateway IP Address. These two address are almost identical to each other but differ only by the...

    Need some help.

    I changed internet service providers and I can no longer access Blue Iris remotely from the net. It is set up so the new connection goes through the old local router, the router connects to the computer (with BI installed) and the Cameras. It still works on the LAN but will not connect over the...

    Backup Cam recommendation in the Dash Cam forum

    Backing-in is really difficult. It really is a very narrow driveway the goes into an even narrower garage door opening. It's only about 4" of clearance on either side of the side view mirrors at the door. Backing into very narrow spaces is one skill I have lost. I worked for a car rental...

    Backup Cam recommendation in the Dash Cam forum

    I need to back out of a very narrow drive way with a rock wall one side, a neighbors hedge on the other side and directly across a sidewalk. Little visibility up and down the side walk. I have a pretty loud backup beeper but people will walk behind me anyway. The car already has a backup...

    Screen not shutting down

    I have my screen set to shut down after 10 min in Windows power settings. It is not happening. It is not set for sleep, just shutting down the screen. I am suspicious that BI is preventing this from happening, it is the only active application when the problem occurs. It also seems like it...

    I have a kinda odd question

    Thanks for the advice. Still don't want to give them with information that they don't really need on general principles. If they want to check my ID, I will show them my drivers license. After seeing all the data theft I am a little nervous. It happened in two major hospitals in Seattle...

    I have a kinda odd question

    I was signing up today for a health club membership. They insisted that I need to have a picture on file with them. I said no, they didn't need that information. The guy that I was talking to said they didn't really use it for anything but it was company policy. I am really not happy when...
