    After update, clips are very long

    I recently updated to version 5.8.3.3. Since updating, I no longer get "clips". All of the recordings are between 4 and 8 hours. I checked the "recording" tab of BI and see that all my cameras now have a "Combine or cut video each: 8 hrs, 0 mins 4gb". I haven't change this, but suspect this is...

    Alternative to Wyze cameras that work with Blue Iris

    I have a few locations I currently have Wyze cameras. The Wyze cameras haven't been very reliable plus, I can't view them in Blue Iris, and would like to. I have HikVision wired cameras now, but have some locations where I can't easily run cable to and am looking for a wifi camera that has the...

    No trigger audio after about a half day

    I have a dedicated computer to BI that never goes into sleep or hibernation mode. I have trigger audio set up for my 6 cameras (using morse code to tell them apart). The audio works for about a half day and then stops. The cameras continue to trigger and record video, but no audio is heard after...

    Blue Iris App and Remote Desktop

    I have a new i7-Gen 10/16gb computer with on-board Intel video. There's NOTHING else loaded on this computer - not even anti-virus, other than what comes with Windows. I'm running BI as a service, but occasionally need to load the BI app/UI. I've optimized BI as much as I can, and CPU usage is...

    After the July 3, 2020 update, the website (ui3.htm) could no longer play alert videos. I down-graded to the previous version (from May, 2020 - 5.2.7.12), and all is well again.

    Blue Iris always using 100% CPU

    Not sure when it started, but I'm noticing that Blue Iris is now using 100% CPU all of the time. I have the latest version of BI (5.2.1.1), along with the latest Windows updates. I have 12 Hikvision cameras displaying. It always used to stay at about 70%. The computer I'm using for BI is...

    Auto export?

    I see an option for "auto export" - I assume this exports the settings file (.reg). How does it work? I can't find any references to this feature. When I select a folder, it seems to forget it, and nothing shows up in that folder.

    I have a Hikvision bullet camera. It's mounted outdoors under a large overhang and is connected via cat6 cable and a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S PoE Injector Adapter (indoors). It's was working for 3 years, but about a month ago, the camera stopped showing up in Bluiris. I took the camera down and...

    Camera great during day - awful at night

    I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-I. When I first installed it about 2 years ago, it worked great, night and day. at some point, it started to get hazy at night. I recently replaced it with a newer IP cam, and it's fine in the exact same location. I cleaned the older cam inside and out, and...

    What kind of cable is this?

    I purchased a Hikvision Turbo HD (indoor/outdoor IR Turret) camera on eBay. I already have 5 Hikvision IP cameras which I use in BlueIris. I "thought" this was an IP camera - but apparently it isn't. This is described in the docs as an "HD Video Cable". Can somebody shed some light as to what...

    Any way to record a few seconds before the trigger?

    I have BI to trigger after 1.5 seconds of movement. This helps with moving bushes, etc. But, I sometimes miss the movement that causes the trigger, as the object may move out of the frame by then. Is there any way to tell BI to record a few seconds before the "trigger" occurs?

    Profile setup?

    I've set up several profiles. In the BI interface, I see this: It appears profile 1 is the default profile, but if I click the clock icon above several times, I get this: which indicates "Standard" is the default. "Standard" is what I named profile 1. What's the difference between the...

    Replacement for Blue Iris

    I've been using Blue Iris for 6+ months now. It has it's good points, but one VERY BAD one. It uses some kind of indexing scheme to mark when videos start and end within an 8-hour video. But, the indexing scheme is not without issues. I have a dedicated computer with a single local hard drive...

    BI not working as expected on new computer

    I had BI running with 7 Hikvision 3mp cameras on a computer that was fairly slow. All of the cameras are direct-wired with Cat5e. BI was using about 65% of the CPU most of the time, but it was running fine - no problems. I now have a new computer (Dell optiplex 7020, Windows 10 Pro/64bit...

    Can BI be installed on 2 computers but only record on one?

    I've had BI installed on my primary computer - the one I work on daily - as a service and with the user interface running for several months. BI has been taking between 24 and 35% of the CPU (a high-end I7 4 cores and 32GB RAM). I'd prefer to move BI to another computer dedicated to it, but...

    Storage locations - why drive C??

    I've read several threads about BI storage locations, but am still confused. I have the database and folder for storage defined as a local folder on a drive I have labeled "V" - I've had it set this way for at least 6 weeks: But, I see videos in 2 places: C:\BlueIris\Storage V:\BlueIris\New...

    IR Switching

    I have a Hikvision camera with IR. Initially, the IR would switch on at night and shut off during the day, as expected. But, playing with Blue Iris, I clicked on the light-bulb (IR Lights) at the bottom-right of the screen. This turned on the IR lights during the day. I then clicked it again to...

    Camera and mounting suggestion

    I need an IP camera for indoor use that has IR. It needs to be compatible with Blue Iris. I would like something that isn't very noticeable, so I don't want a "bullet" camera. But, I also need to mount it 45 degrees to a wall joint like this: A dome camera would be fine, but I don't see how...

    Need replacement for Logitech Alert camera

    I need to replace an outdoor Logitech Alert camera that has IR and POE. I currently use Blue Iris to view this (and other) cameras. I can't run a network wire to the camera location, so it needs to be POE. I don't need anything fancy - just something at least 720p, with IR, POE and with a...
