    BI will not update the extended maint. plan

    You hadn't correctly censored the URL by the way. The link destination was still set to the full location. I edited it for you. Based on the beginning of the URL (http://localhost:9999), this was most definitely an internal failure on their end, not your fault. Without knowing who sent the...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    @jsnissen The N150 is kind of like a haswell i5 (e.g. i5-4570 from 12 years ago), but at a tiny fraction of the power consumption. So it should run 20 cameras with sufficient optimizations (~0.3 MP sub streams, 10-15 FPS), but would likely struggle at web streaming a 4K camera and such. If you...

    BI5 Hover Mouse Over video preview won't work

    I may be just ignorant, but I don't know of any mouseover video preview in Blue Iris. That is a feature I put into UI3 but as far as I know nothing like it has made it into Blue Iris's local app.

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    I don't understand the problem. @TonyR told you how to properly handle weatherproofing the connectors, and you insult him because he also suggested a more reliable wifi solution?

    IP Cameras for Non Internet Networks??

    You can never really trust anything without verifying. Dahua, Hikvision, and companies that rebrand them, could change their firmware's behavior any time between updates. At the very least they may try to connect to their home servers for "p2p" connection purposes unless you turn that off (or...

    Blue Iris grabbing wrong local IP

    By default, Blue Iris's web server listens on all available interfaces. You can prevent that by checking the box "Bind exclusively" in web server settings, but I don't recommend using this unless strictly necessary, and in that case make sure you assigned the IP address statically, not via DHCP.

    RTSP steam not working in BI but works fine in VLC and Home Assistant.

    I have a few ideas too if TonyR's suggestions don't fix it. 1. Try "Decoder compatibility mode" checkbox. 2. If these cameras are ONVIF compatible, use ONVIF Device Manager to reconfigure their encoding settings. 3. You could try running MediaMTX on the Blue Iris machine to proxy the video...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @JNDATHP Sounds like fun. UI3-294 will have new capabilities via UI Settings > Top Bar allowing you to change the system name button behavior to "Follow a Link", and selecting that will allow you to enter a link address on the next line. You'll also be able to customize the text of the system...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    Last week, I had an old mini PC die (it was 11+ yrs old) that was running Blue Iris, and I plugged its SSD into a different machine and loaded its registry to get Blue Iris's settings out of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software. So yes, you can pull BI settings off another machine...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @Heavyopp Do you access Blue Iris via a computer name? If so, try the IP address directly. It is possible that Brave started bypassing your system's DNS and is using its own?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I haven't seen this happening. Looks like the audio player is crashing (the one used when you unmute camera audio in UI3). Does it happen reliably? Can you try in an incognito window (so all browser extensions are deactivated) and unmute the audio in UI3 and see if it occurs there too...

    Can 1 cat5e power two ip cams?

    Here are some more options. "MokerLink" makes some astonishingly cheap outdoor PoE switches that take incoming data and PoE power from one cable and distribute it across 3 or 4 output PoE ports. https://amazon.com/dp/B0C84ZY6R5 They are entirely made of cheap plastic aside from the switch...

    This is implemented in UI3-291. You can now omit the toast ID or use the toast ID "multi" to allow multiple toasts to exist at the same time.

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    This behavior (cloud-access only) seems to be intentional only from the Windows client and web client. Evidently mac and mobile clients can connect to things you actually own. But not the Windows version for some reason? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/overview

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    Okay, I just downloaded the "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app and the newer "Windows App" app. Yikes. "Microsoft Remote Desktop" is slower than the original Remote Desktop Connection and seems to offer no reason whatsoever for me to switch to it. But it is, at least, what it claims to be. A...

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    Hmm. I never used the "Remote Desktop" app or "Windows App" (can't ever get over how stupid that name is) from the Microsoft store. Is it meaningfully better than the original "Remote Desktop Connection" program that has been included in Windows for decades? I use Remote Desktop Connection 40...

    Assistance Finding a Dahua 180° FOV POE for use as a SkyCam

    The Color4K-T180 would probably do a really good job for weather cam / sky watching purposes, thanks to its relatively high pixel density (versus other super wide cameras) and very good low light performance. But they did some aspect ratio weirdness with it. It outputs a roughly 20:9 aspect...

    Hi My name Brian I'm new to ipcamtalk, and new posting on the net, I'm a retired 64 year old farmer wanting to learn setting up wireless Wi-Fi cameras

    "cat5" is a very old standard which you actually don't want anymore. "cat5e" is the modern minimum. A 1000 foot box of this cable typically costs about $100 to $200 USD and you can find it rated for outdoor and direct burial. Avoid the "CCA" or "Copper clad aluminum" variety even though it...

    Time between alerts help

    I'm not sure you are going to be able to configure something like "max 1 alert from 8 AM to 5 PM", but you can certainly have cooldown periods. Look at the Trigger and Alerts tabs in the camera settings in Blue Iris.

    Hi My name Brian I'm new to ipcamtalk, and new posting on the net, I'm a retired 64 year old farmer wanting to learn setting up wireless Wi-Fi cameras

    NVRs expect a camera to be on and streaming video all the time, but a typical battery powered camera can't do that. Battery powered wifi cams are designed to be in a very low-power state most of the time, using something like a passive infrared motion detector to wake the camera when it senses...

    BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?

    Make sure you also fill in the DNS address (same as gateway) or else most of the internet won't work from that machine.

    BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?

    Great. On the BI machine, assign that address statically to the appropriate network interface. Subnet mask is probably 255.255.255.0 and gateway/dns addresses should be 192.168.1.1 or whatever your router's IP is. This way the network interface should always have its IP address assigned long...
