    Good wireless camera recommendation?

    Hi All, I would like to add one more camera to my system for an area I would like to cover. I am thinking a dome and it will need to be wifi. I know with wifi cameras there are a lot of choices and issues with connectivity. Does anyone have any experience with one that they can recommend?

    Hi All, I am running Windows 7 Pro and it has been working great. I am getting the "upgrade to WIndows 10" and have been putting it off, I also disabled automatic updates as I hear some machines are automatically upgrading (one of mind did just that) I was just wondering if there are any...

    Camera display settings on TV

    Here is a question, is there a way to display the BI computer on a TV without running a cable? My TV has wifi capability and it would be nice to be able to switch the input to the PC to view who is at the door if needed. The tv and computer are in separate rooms, computer is running windows 7...

    Want to see your household monitoring pics (tablet, TV, monitor in kitchen, etc.)

    Quick question, is there a way to just display certain cameras without disabling them? For instance, out of 4 cameras, I want to really view 2 constantly as they are higher traffic. I am sure there is a way but thought I would defer to the experts! Thanks

    Auto Start Up with windows

    I think I figured it out, I had done it for both BI and BIT, I deleted the elevated program shortcut for BI and redid the BIT one, I also unchecked the "start when Windows boots" since that would be redundant with the elevated program shortcut. I figured BIT will start BI anyway, I restarted...

    Auto Start Up with windows

    fenderman, I have set up the auto starts for BI and BI Tools per the link to sevenforums. I have the BI working ok but still getting prompt for Bitools. The only difference I can see is that BIT is in the program (x86) folder and BI is not, the other weird thing is that it appears BIT is...

    Auto Start Up with windows

    There is a setting, in Windows 7 anyway that notifies you if a program tries to make changes, you have to go in and disable that then the BI Tools can run and start BI fyi.

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Hi, I have downloaded the BI tools, I have it set up, extracted etc. I was working on the macros however it shows but when I move it to the location I want it, it leaves a copy of it in the center of the screen. In other words, I have the temp where I want it, but there is also a copy of the...

    4.2.8 - January 7, 2016 - Hardware Acceleration

    Thanks smiticans, I have the pro, now what are the advantages of running a program as a service, the only one I know of is that it will boot automatically on a power outage, is there anything else?

    Blue Iris and CPU Usage

    The HA really seems to have done the trick, I am running 4 cams and am down to around 15%! As for running as a service, correct me if I am wrong but that is basically so BI will start again on it's own if there is a power outage correct? I have my system on a UPS so that would probably do the...
