    Status Emails

    Hi all So I have BI set up so that an email goes out when there is an error, warning, remote access or software reset. At least that is what I want it to do. What is actually happening is that an email goes out every hour on the hour regardless of these NOT happening, and I just get the...

    Trigger seems broken?

    Ok, so it took a full power-off and reboot (restart didnt work) to "fix" this. I am afraid to tinker now...LOL A road way passes in front of my house, triggering every time a car passes. I figured I would use teh "zone" stuff to carve out an area where if a car went thru it I would NOT get...

    Trigger seems broken?

    Rebooted Blue Iris and same issue continues.... There WAS a windows update a week or so ago...but the problem only started since I played with the zone stuff.... Here are some screen shots. *Update since I posted the screen shots -- ok looking at the screenshots after another full shutdown...

    Trigger seems broken?

    Thanks to you both. WIll try a reboot. No, no updates done......literally all I did was play with the camera zones, then back out of them. :(

    Trigger seems broken?

    I had my system running great for some time now. Up until now I had the trigger working, but I was getting hammered with alerts every few minutes -- every time a car would pass the house -- from one of my 3 cameras. So I thought I would try playing with "zones".....set up and a and a b...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Yeah I figured the repair/regenerate was the right option. I am still amazed at how robust BI is.....for $60!

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    So I went in and did a manual repair/generate (right click on clips window) and just like you said, alerts are gone......but the footage goes back to 5/4 which is when I wiped the Skyhawk clean to rebuild the new system drive. Not sure why the automatic repair that ran 20 minutes ago didn't do...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    I saw no progress bar etc as far as rebuilding even after several hours.....and still the black section on my timeline when I was running the backup system drive..... I changed the time for the auto rebuild so as to start one immediately and it did it per the log..... completed...but still the...

    Figured it's only $15. Seller offered a free return but I am trying to get this going....so I stuck her in the box and it seems to work. It's a wd....I can't seem to locate any platter drive utilities on their site...just ssd. For now windows says it is healthy. I loaded the free version on...

    Ok -- well I ordered the backup platter drive and the UPS...... The platter drive came today.....brand new in a sealed static bag I have bought a ton of HDDs over the years......ALWAYS shipped in a box with copious bubblewrap if not the factory packaging. But this one was sent in one of those...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Yeah I agree. And at work, this is my exact tact. But this is a home system so I am trying to be frugal since I do not have a deep budget. ;) A UPS is on my radar, just have to decide which one I can get under $250 and order it. I have a backup drive coming so I can clone etc..... A new...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Thanks....I realized I also renamed my cameras different than originally....and really there was nothing in the footage needed....so I just cleared out all the video and jpgs prior to the rebuild going back online. Why worry. The DB had not repaired itself yet and I figured may as well start...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    I'll assume the "worst" here but... Seeing as it was the system drive that fired and wiped everything out.....assume that the db that referenced the almost 4 TB of files in my "new" and "stored" folders are inaccessible to the new install? In the new install I have the db folder set up on the...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Relative to this whole exploit I have gone thru --- is there a way to save/backup just the configuations for BI in a seperate file on a USB drive or something? In the main settings panel; there is a "export" button, but when I do that it wants to save a ".reg" file..... Is that right?

    Thanks Yeah I know better but got lazy. Drained my cmos by pulling the battery, got into the cmos and the new drive boots up, windows is installed, now doing all the windows updates. Ugh. In the old days I had my video edit system on sleds...three or four main drives ready to boot up if I...

    Could I not use a second SSDD as the backup system drive if I wanted to go that expense? I have not heard of "Macrium"......almost sounds like a MAC product? LOL

    Well, for me now this whole conversation is moot. I had delayed windows updates til today.....system was perfect for this entire month or more. Windows was prompting me to restart to install the now mandatory updates. Ok. Closed BI.....restarted Windows updated a while then an error saying...
