    I have a hidden porch cam and Amazon has never abused a package. In fact they have never so much as dropped one. They're overly gentle in fact. Maybe they know about the cam. :winktongue:

    Can't get Blue Iris to start

    OS is Windows Server 2012 R2, brand new fresh install. Offending file is api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-i1-2-1.dll. Blue Iris won't start because it says this file doesn't exist. There are 4 of these libraryloader in the name listed in the System32 folder, however the file in question is not...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    You can install Windows 11 manually. i did it on a couple of systems that did not have TPM and they worked just fine but Windows 11 sucks really really bad so I dumped it and went back to 10. You should be able to find the instructions via google. Just search for "Install Windows 11 manually" or...

    Which Blue Iris key is the correct key???????

    Thank you sir. That's exactly what I did and found it. BI is moved to the new box and is running but I'm having a problem with emporting the settings back in Windows is saying "Blue Iris.reg is not a valid registry script". Tried importing from within BI and still no go, says something like the...

    Which Blue Iris key is the correct key???????

    Guess I'm SOL until tomorrow at the earliest. I sent BI support an email. Hope they get back to me ASAP. This is a problem that should not even exist or there should be an automated system to get around it. :angry:

    Which Blue Iris key is the correct key???????

    Thanks. So I'm guessing the existing license key would be the one I got when I renewed since it's the newer. I did take a screen shot of the About tab. Gonna try it using the newer key. I'll report back.

    Which Blue Iris key is the correct key???????

    I have 2. The first is registered in the About box within Blue Iris and only the first and last set of numbers are visible. The second is the one they sent me when I last renewed my support. It's a totally different key. And I have the full key. I need to move BI to a new computer and don't...

    Image Format size grayed out

    Size stuck at 856 x 380. Doesn't matter what size is set at in the camera, a Dahua, think it's a white label purchased from Andy on Amazon. Can't find the model anywhere including the camera web interface. Camera is currently set to max res 2688 X 1520. I've set it to 1920 X 1080 and it makes no...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    I use Blue Iris exclusively. Both on my iPhone and on my computer. It greatly simplifies camera management and also makes utterly useless Chinese cams usable. If I had to rely solely on camera web servers and written instructions Half of my cams would end up in the garbage. The value in an ip...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Sounds like a network issue. I have a couple of these that have been running 24/7 since 2014 with Zero problems or issues. I use blue Iris to manage them. I can also use the Windows ONIVF program, whatever it's called.

    No clips since the 13th. Caused by update?

    Neither BI or the web server are showing any clips since the 13th of September. New clips are going to drive D, others to BI on C: The alerts folder on C: is empty. So is the stored folder. I admit that this clip storage scheme has never made one bit of sense to me. Whenever I select all clips...

    Wyze Cam Vulnerability - They knew and did nothing.

    I do tend to be a bit paranoid. Especially with this new phone. I had a Android phone for 7 years and had to give it up because the bank said it was no longer compatible. With the iPhone i worry that I'll inadvertently buy something by mistake. Seems like everything has a welcome screen with a...

    Wyze Cam Vulnerability - They knew and did nothing.

    Don't think I have anything the Chinese want. As for the rest. They make money selling your personal info and the result is targeted advertising and oceans of spam spam spam. 3 years ago I bought a Toyota and was immediately inundates with garbage spam that continues until this day. I recently...

    I'm far more worried about Google, Microsoft and Amazon spying on me than I am the Chinese.
