    BI-5 Remote Management? Anyone using it?

    To use the remote management part the other server needs to be running BI-5 as well. So yes, you would need to upgrade both machines to use the feature. However if the other server is on your LAN and only running BI-4 and you only want to view it just set it up to use the web server. That what I...

    BI-5 Remote Management? Anyone using it?

    Sweet! That was it! That is pretty slick. It pulls up the entire program on my home machine just like it was running locally. It appears you cant watch a local camera and a remote camera at the same time? However, it really is just like changing to a separate group of cameras so its pretty quick...

    BI-5 Remote Management? Anyone using it?

    I should be able to give the WAN speed requirements a real test because my cabin has a terrible 1up 5 down connection. I have been able to stream a single camera to BI4 with no issues though. I remoted in to my main machine and updated it to BI5 with no issues at all. Unfortunately when I try to...

I am currently attempting to update my main machine remotely...

    Service not initialized properly

    Mine suddenly started doing the same thing this morning. I figured it was due to a Windows 7 update last night or something. I get a popup that says "The service is not initializing properly?" clicking ok shuts down the program. I tried it a couple times with the same result. This desktop has...

    Limiting bandwidth usage on BI?

    Thanks. I looked all over and couldn't find anyone else asking about this. On the cameras (Foscams) would it be better to lower the frame rate or the bit rate to free up bandwidth?

    Limiting bandwidth usage on BI?

    On the Blue Iris side, can I limit the bandwidth that the remote camera is using? I have a 8 offsite cameras that feed back to my house and it only has a 20/2 connection. They seem to stream fairly well with some lag noticeable but tolerable. However, one location has 5 HD cameras and its...
