    How do I update my BI iPhone app?

    BI 5 and the latest app from the app store. It does work in spite of the nag. Surely there's a way to tell it to update. EDIT - Well stupid me. It's telling me "For optimal performance update the app on your PC". When all else fails, read the instructions. :facepalm:

    How do I update my BI iPhone app?

    Just got a new iPhone today and loaded the BI app. It tells me every time I open it that I need to update it. problem is the dialog box that displays only gives me 2 options, "Dismiss" and "Remind Me Later". Musta been a genius that came up with this response. Anyways, I've searched thru the...

    Delivery Drivers Are So Lazy (Video)

    I have a porch cam and have never once seen an Amazon driver abuse a package. Must be lucky I guess.

    Problem viewing clips

    Just added a 2TB spinner to the server and put NEW on it. Both the Alerts and Stored folders are empty so I assume I don't need to do anything further. I'm trying to keep this server as low power as possible but I guess that's not really a good idea.

    Problem viewing clips

    Yep, that fixed it. I moved everything back to the BI folder and removed the second SSD. The boot drive is an Intel DC S3700 400GB. It should last a good long while.

    Problem viewing clips

    Thanks. Just did a delete and regenerate. Hopefully that fixed it. I also moved the "New" folder to c:\Blue Iris\ New where I assume it belongs. All I'm really interest in is seeing the clips recorded when motion is detected. Don't really understand Alerts / New / Stored, etc.

    Problem viewing clips

    I had a 1TB HD that was being used to store "New" clips. I've replaced it with an SSD and pointed BI to it for storing the clips. Now it appears that motion detect is working and clips are being recorded but when I try to view the clips in UI3 I get a "server is unavailable" error. Nothing I do...

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    Problem is I have no reason other than the bank to upgrade my phone. It's old as dirt, a Nexus 6, but it has phenomenal battery life. Even as old as it is I can get 4 days on a charge easy, probably longer than that, I've never run it dry. My friend who prompted this thread on the other hand...

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    Yea, I think i am going to move to Apple. Apple isn't perfect by any means but I'm ready for a different set of problems.

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    I don't blame the banks, I blame Google for not allowing older phones to be updated. This amounts to thievery as far as I'm concerned.

    The noose is slowly being tightened. Soon freedom will be nothing more than a distant memory. Personal choice will be a thing of the past. Change is inevitable, whether it's for the good or the bad only the Gods know.

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    It could be that the Play Store doesn't show apps that aren't compatible with the current OS. I have a Nexus 6 that still works perfectly and the battery life is nothing short of astounding. I really hate to part with it but it looks like I have no choice. My bank has notified me that after Feb...

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    I believe you are correct. Does this mean the older version is no longer available?

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    When I search for Blue Iris in the Play Store I get nothing but 3rd party. Even BI Perspective returns nothing but garbage. I have the genuine Perspective client installed on my phone. It's version 5.5.3.7. It works OK and would work for my friend. It's nowhere to be found in the play store...

    Many cores or greater speed, which is more important?

    CPU usage is at 33% so I'll go read the wiki. I was thinking the power draw would be considerably higher with the dually system.

    Many cores or greater speed, which is more important?

    I currently have BI running on a server with a i7 4790 cpu running at 3.6GHz and 16GB of ram. 11 cams. I have available a dual processor server running 2 E5 2620's running at 2.00GHz. 24 cores total. 64GB of ram. I also have a couple of E5 2670's available I could drop in which would boost it...

    Wall of shame

    I'll never understand why people will pay a 3rd party for the privilege of accessing IP cams that they own in their home. My next door neighbor does this and thinks they are monitoring has cams for him. They're doing no such thing. Where ignorance is bliss.......

    What exactly are "Active Requests" ?

    Thanks. The server is exposed to the Internet via port forwarding. Need to change this. I've been trying to figure Stunnel out but haven't had any luck. It all looks like giberish to me. Are there Blue Iris specific instructions out there anywhere?

    What exactly are "Active Requests" ?

    Under Status --> Connections --> Active Requests. Earlier this morning it was showing 18 active requests. I have 11 cameras. I've never seen more than 3 active requests previously. Just need to know if "Active Requests" includes both internal (LAN) and external (from the internet) requests...

    What exactly are "Active Requests" ?

    I hate to ask this as I suspect the answer is simple and is out there somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it. Google returns absolutely nothing but unrelated gibberish. I'd like to know where these active requests are coming from. Thank you

    Blue Iris UI3

    Updated to 5.5.0.15 and now UI3 doesn't work at all. Still troubleshooting. EDIT : Rolled it back a notch and now it's working again. Problem is with 5.5.0.15.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Yup. That's the idea. I'd avoid wireless if at all possible.
