    Terrorist attack?

    Gas pump nozzles in California are equipped with a vapor-recovery device, it amounts to a fat, rubber, spring-loaded corrugated sheath over the nozzle that prevents the dispensing of fuel unless the rubber portion is compressed significantly and relatively well-sealed against the filler neck...

    Who loves their tester? This one's bad af:

    ^^^ I too got that one, but just the handheld Emitter unit and the NF-488 Wiremap module. Seems to work great for the amateur work I've got going on. 36 bucks...

    drug related massacre *GRAPHIC WARNING*

    For what it's worth, if you watch the version in the original link provided above, it has the audio synced which enhances the full effects of the gore. You have to dig into the article to find the video link, then when you get prompted for your Instagram login, just click Not Now, or something...

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    Okay guys, I'm pretty happy and all set. I don't know what I did differently this time, I think it was actually entering my license key (I think). Because this time, when I went into Blue Iris News and Updates > Another previous available update, I found a much longer list of versions that I...

    How to increase storage area for files in BI?

    Print Screen doesn't work on my own computers anymore (one on 10, the other on 11). It's a recent development. In searching for answers online, I stumbled onto a thread on Reddit in which a few people speculated or had "heard" that Microsoft is doing this over "copyright concerns." Of course...

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    Oh snap, that's easy. I'm sorry....should I uninstall the other version on my machine? Or will the new one overwrite it? Or just leave it to expire? Or? I will try this when I get home today (I'm on Pacific Time). Thanks.

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    Okay, I have two questions: 1) Can you detail how I would go about that? I used the method BI specified (see my previous pic) and there were only two possibilities in the pulldown...and; 2) Should I uninstall the brand new version of BI that I now have installed on my machine, and then...

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    Okay, so after some back-and-forth e-mails with Jennifer at BI, it appears that the latest version I can roll back to based on my previous license expiration date of 2/26/2021 is 5.2.6.5, which is from April of 2020. I'm a little confused by this as I would've thought that I'm entitled to...

    Hello all from old guy

    What amazes me is how technically savvy you old farts are, way more than myself! And I'm just 56. I got a lot to learn from y'alls :thumb:

    Thanks for that insight. I sent another message to Ken to inquire about this option. Thanks fenderman and TVille.

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    Okay, so I don't screw up any further: Even though I've already downloaded a brand new copy/version, I can still get by with the full 64-cam version and activate it by just paying a $30 upgrade fee? I had already e-mailed Ken to inquire as best course of action, still trying to understand my...

    Link to Homeseer - syntax?

    Hey pete_c, I recognize you from cocoontech! The boys over there were most helpful in creating some rules for my Elk alarm deployment. Sorry, I know it's off-topic

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    I did not, I didn't deactivate the previous installation. I bought the original installation in January of 2020. As a side note, my machine didn't die or crash, I stupidly assumed that before I deploy my system and start recording cameras to/with BI, that I should do a clean install using...

    I had BI, I went to reload it, it's asking for money...

    So I had BI5 already. I wiped my machine (more on that in a forthcoming post) and went to reload BI. After loading it, I went to launch it, and got routed through the product registration rigmarole, and then it asked for my $69.95. I input my previous product registration key for BI, but it...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Slightly off topic but somewhat related; I read some comments earlier in the thread that have me wondering, is Dahua discontinuing ALL 2MP cams, or just this "boobie" cam? I ask because after a long hiatus and a need/desire to finally install the new 2MP cams I bought from Andy in Jan. 2020, I...

    New guy. Hi, I just bought BI a couple of days ago. I paid the extra for the Android app and boy, is that hard work.

    mtrax, you can stay busy here learning for months by reading the many new posts and cruising all of the sub-forums in IPCT, without ever making a post of your own. You'll find that many, if not most, questions have already been asked, answered and hashed out. As already noted, the Cliff Notes...

    How do you run BI in Windows 10 without interruptions?

    My experience with Win10 Pro thus far, is as stated above: I can postpone updates, but I cannot stop them. QUESTION: If the machine NEVER sees the Internet, can I theoretcially postpone the updates forever? Unless they've programmed it like Android, you can only delay updates for so long...
