So I bought BI about a year ago. I just went to check if there were upgrades and everything was greyed out. It seems that I am locked out since my 1 year has passed. I interpreted "MAJOR VERSION UPGRADE PROTECTION" to mean going from version 4 to 5, not any updates at all. Am I the only one to...

Hi all, I just bought three ASH 21 cameras of Amazon. I have to say, this camera has been a ROYAL PITA to set up compare to other Amcrest cameras I have bought in past. I was wondering what people's experiences have been with this camera. Looking to set it up to monitor kids in the house. thanks.

When I look at my BI recordings, I noticed that sometimes the video repeats itself. Another issue I have had is a clock appearing in upper right corner and it seems to loose the feed or get behind? I am on UI3 version 144, Blue Iris version: 5.3.9.17 Server status is Processor at about 25% and...

Just installed the following cameras: IP5M-B1186EW-28mm 5MP (x2) IP8M-T2599EW 8MP (x1) These cameras after a while seem to crash in BuleIris. The two 5MPs are sharing one ethernet cable and at first I thought it could be that, but the 8MP cam is on its own ethernet cable back to the switch...

So I just purchased three new cameras to play with: IP5M-B1186EW-28mm 5MP $50 IP8M-2496EB-28MM 8MP $100 IP8M-T2599EW 8MP $100 I have been playing with these inside a little. I am very impressed with the 5MP model. At that price point, it has color in low light situations and was the best at...

So I just installed a IP2M-841. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get to the PTZ controls. I am pretty sure I set it up properly. I remember there was a way to add and remove the PTZ buttons on bottom of screen but can't seem to find. The arrow keys on keyboard does not do anything...

Does anyone have experience with the IP8M-T2499EW camera? I was looking at these as a cheaper cam for a few locations. I have some Hikvision bullet cameras now. I am on BI.

I have an old 3750 Cisco POE 10/100 switch that I have been using for my POE cameras. I had bought an unmanaged Gigabyte switch to manage faster data. I have a PFsense fire wall on a min PC and have have 4 LAN ports I can use. I am looking to upgrade my home network to use Vlans to separate my...

I currently have three Hikvision bullet DS-2CD2042WD-I and one dome DS-2CD2142FWD-IS cameras. I am looking to add more to my BI system. I have been looking at cameras but the choice is overwhelming. I would like to stick with Hikvision since it makes updating firmware etc easier, but I don't...

Hi all. I am new to BI and learning. So I apologize if this is a dumb question. I am setting up triggers and learning to do so. But I have had trouble in past with triggers not working and missing beginning of action. 1. I remember reading that you can send a dual stream video feed, a low res...

I keep getting this error "video stream lost due to rapid failure". Any ideas? thanks

Hi all, Just joined. I have just set up a BI5 server with my Hikvision 4MP bullet cameras, and two new ReoLink 410 I am playing with. I originally had set up a Cam Server using zoneminder on an old Dell r710 server. ZM was not for me as it was a nightmare to set up and upkeep and eventually...
