    Question FPS

    ah good point. I was not reading it that way for some reason. but I see what you mean. That is a spec sheet for multiple pre built PCs. As far as screws and cables; assuming I just need to open it up and check it out?

    Question FPS

    https://www.asus.com/us/Tower-PCs/M11AD/specifications/ do not pay attention to the 4 TB max listed on the spec? Stupid question, though maybe I need to pull apart the machine first, are there screws/cables etc to hook up the 2nd drive or do you usually need to buy all those pieces when...

    Question FPS

    I was told by others and also saw on the manufacture's website of my PC that the most it can handle is 4 TB due to Window's not being able to "see" anything over 4 TB. Is that true? If so, would the PC run the purple drives ok? I could get a 4 TB Purple drive. Thank you

    Question FPS

    Thanks for the suggestions: 1) can the Purple drives be used in a PC? I dont see why not, but all literature I was reading was talking about using dedicated NVR boxes. 2) Its 8 GB Ram and yes usually around 20-30%, so not over taxing the system 3) The profile I showed was the profile in use at...

    Question FPS

    Bit Rate is 3 Mbps h264 format 1920x1080 output frame rate 25 Those are the settings on the cameras for "streaming profile 1" how do I tell avg cpu consumption? I have a core i7 machine and its only dedicated for BI, I think 4 GB of RAM. Usually when I am using the machine its using 20-30%...

    Question FPS

    So finally I wanted to "catch" something on my camera; nothing major, just someone who drove over my neighbors lawn and made some tire racks. And I *think* I figured out who, but the car stopped for about 15 seconds right where they would have driven onto the lawn. I had motion to stop...

    RTSP: 404 Not Found

    Hello, I set up 2 Lilin an 2 Foscam cameras with the support here and things are great. I wanted to add a KNC-HDi47 http://www.ktncusa.com/ip/ip_miniature/knc-hdi47 to my BI Set up. I have all the ports forward correctly, I can access the camera on the Web, but I get "no signal" in BI. I've...

    App stopped working

    Do they have to match? I did not manually update either, though I noticed my iOS app is set to auto update and it did indeed pull down a new version and install it. Do I just need to update my BI desktop software to match the same version?

    App stopped working

    I noticed today the iOS app was not working on my phone. It has been working fine for weeks. I can still go to a URL on my local PC and pull up the local IP address an access the web version of BI. I logged in and it worked. When I click on the globe though it is bringing me to the setup...

    BI Launch on bootup?

    so just to be clear, for my PoE switch I should go Cameras > Ethernet > PoE Switch (Cisco SG 300 model) > APC Battery > Panamax MR4300 > the item you sent me > wall outlet I have 2-3 other things in the APC Battery and Panamax as well. Mostly stuff around my Control4 system (the brains of the...

    BI Launch on bootup?

    BP - are your cameras wired in there or the computer running Blue Iris? My critical cameras are PoE and the PoE switch is in a rack mounted APC rack mount which then goes into a power conditioner/surge protector then into the wall.

    BI Launch on bootup?

    I have my PC in a battery back up. I should get about 40 minutes of juice. However, if I am at work/vacation, etc (ie not home for more than 40 minutes) and there is a power outage, as of now I am SOL when the power comes back. I am going to go into my computer BIOS to set the feature to have...

    Alerts vs Clips?

    Works like a charm - great support here on the forums. Thanks!

    Alerts vs Clips?

    Alerts could be overkill, I could turn them off following your steps but still keep the cameras recording on motion and saving clips based on motion, correct? If I decide to keep alerts, can you keep them running on some but not all cameras? I have 4 cameras, 2 record based on motion, 2 are...

    Alerts vs Clips?

    Thanks! Any reason why someone would want alerts and just in general how alerts can be used differently than clips?

    Alerts vs Clips?

    So Fenderman was helpful to help view my 4 cameras, but only record 2 of them. And it works. The clips section only shows recording on motion based on those two cameras - perfect. That said I set up the mobile application and it has "alerts". All 4 cameras show alerts. I only want the two...

    FI9821WV2 "missing" IP?

    I could run a cable direct. Not where its located but I can move it to another room and run a direct cable to it. After doing a factory reset, I restarted it, updated the firmware and it held a noticable IP address for 2-3 days but back to square 1. The camera works, I can see it on apps...

    FI9821WV2 "missing" IP?

    So firmware update "helped". I can now see it on the IP Scan applications. But trying to reach the camera via the web browser is now near impossible using my local IP or the DDNS address Foscam provides. Prior to the updates getting access via web browser was easy. Also before I did the...

    FI9821WV2 "missing" IP?

    firmware is 2.11.2.8 on the working one v 2.11.1.10 on the odd one. That said, the odd working one could be a lower firmware because I did do a factory reset the other night and maybe at some point I updated the firmware. I guess I'll try a firmware update on it - since the factory reset did...

    FI9821WV2 "missing" IP?

    I am running the IP Scanner on a Mac, a PC and my iPhone. Different apps on different hardware - all have the same issue. Why would the router automatically black list something? If so I'd see that in my router settings? Just curious as to why the apps work, the camera works but the IP is...

    FI9821WV2 "missing" IP?

    So I have 2 9821w V2 cameras. Both work. I can see them on my home network via a web browser, when out of the house I can see them on my Foscam app or my Live Cam app or my Control4 app. Blue Iris sees them. That said, I've used 4 different IP Scan tools - one of them just does not want...

    Agreed. But are the size/recordings normal?

    New to BI - any documentation to read? Overwriting saved images/video

    Most are in the 500-700MB range and 1 gets into the 1.xx GB range. I have the folder to cap at 500 GB. I guess that can get me a few weeks of recordings so at this point its fine? I guess I was just alarmed when I saw "7 hours" as a recording, yet when I did playback it was just 45-60 seconds...

    New to BI - any documentation to read? Overwriting saved images/video

    Hi Fenderman - I am noticing clips are getting linked together. There may be motion at 4pm then again at 5:30pm and maybe 10pm. They are all getting lumped into 1 clip. On the right it will say 5 hours 39 mins and 1.xx GB. But when I scroll through it, its just a few clips of seconds during...

    New to BI - any documentation to read? Overwriting saved images/video

    one more question - I noticed my new PC has a C and D drive. its 1 TB Total, but the C drive is about 200 GB and its where the OS sits and the D drive is about 800 GB and is empty. If I change the global settings > clips and archive > folders > path to the D drive, do I need to change the...

    New to BI - any documentation to read? Overwriting saved images/video

    correct - the area I masked I do NOT want to trigger recording. I think when I sync into Control4 I'll create a 2nd profile and I can have Blue Iris automatically switch to that profile when my alarm is away (not home). When my alarm is off (home) it will go back to profile 1. Automates that...

    New to BI - any documentation to read? Overwriting saved images/video

    Ah ok - so I kept all cameras on "Profile 1". in the video drop down box for two of them I did "triggered" so when motion gets in the area I set up (using masking) it will record. and for the other two cameras I just did manual - ie not recording. Those are indoor cameras I only want to...
