    PWA - hide address bar?

    There are quite a lot of details that need to be gotten exactly right, so it can be tricky. Based on your log I see that you disabled the unencrypted HTTP protocol for the admin console, so you would need to use the https://127.0.0.1:8080/ link (from a browser running on the same system as the...

    PWA - hide address bar?

    The address bar is showing because web browsers these days are becoming increasingly hostile to websites that do not use HTTPS. So they force the address bar to be shown in order to better expose the fact that your connection is not encrypted and the server's identity is not verified. If you...

    Disabling sub stream causes UI3 to show a cropped image of the camera.

    I hadn't noticed any such issue before. Very weird. I'm glad Ken found the cause :). Blue Iris does some really funky stuff sometimes.

    BI live screen lags but reordering's do not?

    I advise you to download PingTracer on the Blue Iris machine. This is a program that repeatedly pings network devices and plots the response time on a graph. In the Host field put in the IP addresses of some of your affected cameras (separate each address by comma or space). For good measure...

    BI live screen lags but reordering's do not?

    You'll have to do a screen recording or something. We're not sure what you are describing.

    This conversation reminds me of a video I saw a while back. Probably was shared here haha.

    Road Rage Dumba$$

    Yikes. Question of the day: If you are the SUV driver, what do you do when an enraged woman comes out of the car you collided with, shrieking curses and demanding you open the door? Is it legally acceptable to get away from crazy first or are you supposed to just lock up and call the police...

    Unifi Teleport

    I don't know about making the network drive work through the VPN but are you trying \\192.168.8.x\ in an address bar in Windows or are you trying to use it via a machine name or some kind of autodiscovery? Unfortunately since it is not giving you an IP in your home network's range, broadcast...

    What the hell is this?

    Yeah, and also more than 18000 miles in 1/10 of a second :) Due to rolling shutters employed by most cameras, a very sudden bright flash of light will often appear in only part of the first frame where it appears. I see it often with lightning flashes if I go frame-by-frame.

    Unifi Teleport

    As far as I know, Teleport isn't supposed to require such configuration. Are you sure your 192.168.8.X resources are not accessible while connected to it? With most VPNs they don't actually give you an IP address in the range you might expect. Instead they add rules to your OS's routing table...

    WOW! This latest Window 11 update!

    I haven't had any particular issues where I could point the finger at Windows 11 as definitely the problem, in fact for me it is functionally identical to Windows 10 once I've installed Explorer Patcher and Open Shell Menu. But I also haven't received the update to 24H2 yet either.

    Can't logon after updating Startup in BI. "Blue Iris User" Popup window (see pics)

    I've never understood what user account credentials Blue Iris is asking for when it pops up that login dialog. But I vaguely remember that it was possible to submit that login form without entering anything at all for the password, and it would let me in. Have you tried that? Here are some...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    A backup is mainly important in case you discover later you forgot something that was in your old Blue Iris configuration. It includes your Blue Iris license key, and all settings, such as user names and passwords, email/ftp configurations, and that sort of thing. Not to mention if you changed...

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Yup, based on the screenshots you provided in the first post, the main problem I see is the bit rate is too low. I would even try to go higher than the 8192 Kbps bit rate that @wittaj recommended, especially if using a short iframe interval that matches the frame rate. I'd try 12000 or 16000...

    How to run cat 5e outdoor rated cable along a fence?

    I don't know if rodents don't like UISP-Cable-Carrier (ubiquiti's most heavily armored cat5e cable) or if I've just been lucky, but I've done several runs over the years just laying it along the ground. I spooled back up a roughly 100 ft length of it when I moved out of my first home, and it...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    Also the reboot is not actually necessary for any technical reason I can think of. Once Blue Iris is not running, and you've deleted its registry and file data, there's nothing left belonging to Blue Iris to clear with a reboot. But as a general troubleshooting step when things haven't been...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    That looks good mostly. First make a registry backup. It is sufficient to just export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software. Make sure you have your license key available for the reinstall. Also push the Deactivate button in Blue Iris Settings > About. I'm not sure if that...

    Updated today (10/27/24) and have some issues, help please?

    If you are recording continuously, that creates a constant load on the hard drive could trigger a "can't write fast enough" message once in a while. I wouldn't worry about it as long as there are no obvious problems with playback of clips. If you record continuously then a "surveillance" hard...

    Getting audio bleed on web interface on laptop

    Look in camera properties > Audio tab and make sure that is not configured to get audio from "Another camera". Also make sure the audio is coming from the source program you think it is; e.g. if you close UI3 and still hear the audio then it is coming from somewhere else.

    Blue Iris UI3

    No, but I've created an issue for this in the github repository. I don't use AI on any of my Blue Iris systems so it is very cumbersome for me to test anything I do related to it.

    Server/CPU recommendations for ESXi host for Blue Iris, Linux media/file/web server

    Wow, that is actually brilliant to pass through a USB display adapter to a VM. I bet it has way higher CPU overhead than a "real GPU" but overall better energy efficiency almost certainly, and with simpler drivers that would be less likely to have a problem with passthrough. Nice.

    Blue Iris and Remote Desktop crashing

    Unfortunately this sounds like probably a hardware or driver issue and it may be hell to solve. But it looks like your Event Viewer may hold some clues. Although most events are incredibly vague, sometimes they do contain useful information. You should go through that summary page and look at...

    Locating a lost Blue Iris key

    There might be a registry backup file from before the uninstall, in the Blue Iris program folder, if that hasn't been deleted. That would contain your registration info including the license key. Once restored into the Windows registry, BiUpdateHelper can retrieve your key for you.

    Database issues after power loss

    Have you talked to Blue Iris support about this? The log file will probably contain important clues, so I hope you have BI configured to save a log file. In my experience there is a high chance of clip database corruption whenever Blue Iris is killed unexpectedly (which happens a lot to some...

    Dahua Cameras hacked

    Yes, Blue Iris is meant to be run 24/7 and provide all of the remote access to the cameras through itself. Oh, so Blue Iris is not on-site with all the cameras? That does complicate things. The optimal solution in that case is probably to use site-to-site VPNs for remote access to the cameras...

    PC for Blue Iris

    That would technically be more than adequate for the computational needs, however you will not be able to fit a 3.5" HDD in there so you will be very much capacity-limited unless you want to deal with a USB or network attached storage device and the performance/reliability issues that can come...
