    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Thanks for the suggestions! I love the $1500 one...LOL....but unfortunately overkill for me I think. I did realize that the way I am setup right now, I can put the BI computer and the POE switch on the UPS.....but that two of my cameras are on powerline adaptors......so they wouldnt work if...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    I am amazed at how solid and reliable BI has been over the last two months or so of my using it. Several fine folks on this board are THE reason I tried it and I owe a debt of gratitude to you folks! I am set up so the few times that BI has crashed (or maybe it was a PC restart etc) BI runs in...

    Issues now with new Comcast router

    I see you have figured it out. Good job! I also feel the way you do...one wrong number and kaBOOM. LOL One thing I can suggest as a newbie....DOCUMENT all of your settings, addresses etc as much as possible. Then you can quickly scan stuff and see what needs tweaked.

    Dissed by BI?

    So as I was perusing the BI help function for setting up email, I found this reference to IPCAMTALK: "Although you may stumble upon other camera forums online, you are advised to proceed with caution. Specifically, we do NOT support and are NOT affiliated with the “IPCamTalk” forum and have in...

    Best way to "run as service" ?

    I did a search on the general forum, looked at the wikki.....a lot of references to running BI as a service so that if windows crashes it will automagically restart and run, but I havent seen any sort of how to..... My BI system has been remarkably stable (knock wood) for the past weeks....but...

    SUCCESS! Did some more poking around tonight after just stepping away from it for the day. re-read the help file and the wizard --- "firewall" kept catching my attention. Two things --- Turns out my AVAST firewall was set for "public network"......set it for "trusted private network" and...

    Drive upgrade procedure

    As an aside....how long do you folks save your bvr files? I did a test run of my three cameras on a 600 gb drive partition of my c drive...and I got about 6 days. I just upgraded to a 4 tb skyhawk drive.....if I am doing my math right that is in the ballpark of 45+ days.....plenty for my...

    So, once I get the dual nic installed (on its way from amazon as we speak along with a skyhawk drive) the cameras will once again have to have their IP address changed... Now... before I got the Asus router, and when the cameras were using 10.0.0.XX addresses thru the Comcast gateway/router...
