    Camera 1 and Clone of Camera1 swap Bitrate.

    Camera 1 and Clone of Camera1 swap Bitrate. Normally Camera 1 displays the Bitrate, and the Clone displays 0 Bitrate, both show same Frames. When this swap happens Camera 1 motion detection does not trigger. Setup: Camera 1 is configured to motion detect and record during the day and night...

    BI: How to cut short (very) section of BVR clip?

    What I have done in the past is extract a larger AVI than I wanted. Then open it back up in BlueIris and cut and extract the smaller section that I want. The one issue is that after the first AVI is extracted it does not show up under the Clips list, so I repair/Regenerate the database and...

    One camera is ignoring global schedule?

    Found the Registry Key that holds this Default Profile. CameraName is your camera name. When I send Profile=-1 it changes to ffffffff or 4294967295 computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Prespective Software\Blue Iris\Cameras\CameraName\Motion defprofile.

    One camera is ignoring global schedule?

    It has to do with the below remark in the update information. I had used BICommand.exe in the past to change profiles. It apparently stores this profile in the registry, reverting back to this profile whenever a schedule is active. I used BICommand.exe to send the profile=-1 to each of my...

    4.4.0 - July 21, 2016

    I installed this update. For some reason about half of my cameras changed profile, and are not following any schedule. My cameras all had "Override global schedule for this camera". I have unchecked, trying global schedule, manually overridden profile, they continue to be locked. I do not...

    Way to manually record all cameras?

    Don't know if it is better or not, but what I have done is set a profile for each camera to continuous record. Then when I manually select that profile, all of the cameras start recording. When I want to stop recording, I let the profile go back to default. To lock the profile, click twice...

    Switch presets for different profiles

    On the camera schedule tab, Event Schedule, you can set a scheduled event for a specific profile. Schedule the preset and Select only the profile in which you want to go to that preset. When you change profiles, BI looks back through the event schedules, and finds the latest event to run. If...

    Blue Iris Config Questions

    From the BlueIris help file: When motion occurs in the hotspot zone, it is exempt from further analysis and will immediately trigger the camera. Use the hotspot zone with reserve as it is likely to produce a large number of false-positives. It could be that a passing cars headlights, or shadow...

    New Motion Zones - Are they actually functional?

    I'm not sure that overlap is needed, but is seems that they at least need to abut each other. No space between zones. One thing that you can do to help trouble shoot this problem, is use "Test run Video through motion detector". First start a manual recording. Then walk through the zones...

    Anybody know what this BI Error is?

    On the system that I am showing those errors, I did have the Hardware Acceleration turned on. But, the only cameras that are showing the error are the ones that I just setup multiple Zones, and enabled motion object detection. Somehow these two scenarios have created the error, maybe using...

    Anybody know what this BI Error is?

    It is not a camera error, it is a BlueIris error. I have setup 3 of 10 cameras with the new Zone motion object detection. They are the only cameras that show this error. The number behind the error on my system are all different.

    Anybody know what this BI Error is?

    Not sure exactly, but it only started when I started using the new Zones for detecting motion. I have two systems setup. One no new Zone motion detection, and this one does not have any of those errors. The second system, my test system, I have setup different zones and motion detection, and I...

    New Motion Zones - Are they actually functional?

    Just tested, and they seem to be working here. I did hear that the zones need to be adjacent, connecting to each other.

    Zoneway ip camera

    Can't help with the P2P app, nor with the changing frame rates. Accessing the hidden menu can be accomplished from any program that can send the preset position 16 to the camera, twice. The menu actually comes up as an OSD. Sometimes hard to see the menu, so I usually point my camera at a...

    Zoneway ip camera

    I have a couple Zoneway cameras. Actually I have had very good results using them. One problem that you mentioned is the lack of support. I could not get Firmware updates from the company that sold me the cameras, but so far I do not see any need to update the Firmware. The most useful...

    Motion Triggering 4.3.0.5 x64....Newbie question

    Good question. This latest update changed lots of things in motion detection. When you open up the "Edit motion zones", Zone A comes up first. It is the old single zone motion detection, except that now the blocked area is clear, and the triggering area is green. What I do is use invert...

    All Cameras showing camera 01

    That looks like OSD from the camera. If so, you need to go to each camera and either turn of OSD or change the camera name.

    one of three cameras only show in Blue Iris

    Hi ths54. The picture that you loaded does not show the camera setup. What you are showing is the BlueIris web service setup. What you should be looking at is the camera properties for each camera. So, when you add a camera each one has its own properties. Under the video tab there is...

    Preset positions with Foscam 19828P

    None of my Foscam cameras saves the Zoom setting. What I do is in the schedule I send the preset position, then send the zoom in/out command. I do that for both in and out zooms for different preset positions. Sometimes I need to send multiple zoom in or outs.

    continuous recording with scheduled alerts

    Ok, you need two profiles. Call one Alerts, the other NoAlerts. Both would have recording set to continuous. The Alerts profile would have motion sensor Enable selected. The NoAlerts profile would unselect motion sensor Enable. Then in BlueIris options schedule, create a profile change at...

    Motion vs bvr file - what's the difference?

    Under clips and archiving probably has the Alert folder set to the same location as the new folder. Alerts should go to their own folder, then you would not see the motion clip.

    BI Clip Viewer (playback interface) confusing...

    It is a bit confusing, but what you described is normal for the timeline view. Think of it this way, It can't playback something that it did not record. When the timeline playback is running, it does not skip times when no camera has had an alert recording. So what you see as a static image...
