Years ago I setup BI to take daily snapshots from most of my cameras, with the intent of creating timelapse videos of garden projects. I hadn't looked at them in a while, but recently noticed the latest snapshots in the folder were from nearly a year ago. I'd like to get this working again...

I'm trying to switch day/night profile for one camera using a NodeJS module. I've found an npm module which looks promising: node-hikvision-api. However, some of the commands it sends are returning 404 responses from the camera. Here's an example response I get when trying to switch to night...

I got a 25x Starlight camera last week and got it setup via Blue Iris. Camera works great, but I found that I can't set the presets in Blue Iris. It says it's setting them, but when I try to go to them it goes to the original camera default position on bootup. So I thought I'd try to set them...

I have 12 cameras. I can view each of them remotely via web or app. However, on the "all camera" view, two cameras are missing. What setting could be causing this? It's always the same two cameras missing.

I'm interested in using PIR sensors to trigger motion detection email alerts because I'm tired of the many false alarms that image based motion detection is causing. 3 of my cameras have alarm ports which I think can be connected to a PIR sensor, but then I'd need to power the sensor as well as...

I bought 4 of the Mini PTZ 10x cameras last year. Two of them are still working fine. About a month ago one of them was not responding. So I tried disconnecting the ethernet/power cables and reconnecting. It would do its bootup process, move the camera around and I was able to connect to it...

I'd like to be able to define a default style for my text overlays. I have 12 cameras, each with the same 3 overlays. One for date/time, one for temperature, and one for wind condition. Each of these use the same: font font size color background color background opacity alignment So, in total...

I was panning around with one of my PTZ cams when the screen froze. The camera automatically rebooted (seemingly) and the picture came back. I panned around some more and it froze again, then just displays a black screen. Rebooting and restarting (is there a difference between those?) doesn't do...

I have 12 1080p cameras. 8 are recording 24x7 and have motion detection. To accomplish this I cloned the 8 cameras so that 8 record constantly, and the other 8 do motion detection. The remaining 4 are not recording and do not have motion detection. They're PTZ and just used for getting a better...

I just got my 10x PTZ today. It showed up in SADP and I changed the IP and gateway to match my local network settings. I am able to login to the cam using the IP I assigned to it and admin/admin credentials. However, the picture does not show up (solid black). I am using Firefox, as I've never...

Often when I'm doing yard work, I'll set the traffic signal to red to avoid motion detection spam. But then I'll forget to set it back to green when I'm done. Is there a way to have Blue Iris send a reminder email or text that the traffic signal is still red after a certain amount of time?

Yesterday I lost power for about 4 hours. When it came back on, I found that my Blue Iris machine was not able to use its normal IP address because something else on the network took that address. So I set it to use a new static IP locally. I went through the web server setup wizard in BI again...

I've just moved my Blue Iris PC into the attic. Are there any concerns other than heat in summer, or roof leaks that I should be aware of? I'm in Seattle, so it doesn't normally get too hot in summer, and the PC has excellent cooling. It's in a Coolermaster HAF 912 case, has a beefy Noctua CPU...

I'm curious if it's possible in Blue Iris to have each camera take a photo at a specified time each day. I'm interested in creating timelapses from images captured in this manner. I haven't seen anything in the software that allows this. I did find a way to make cameras take a photo every...

I've just setup my Blue Iris system in the last week. Currently have 7 cameras. I've got it all working well now, but I noticed that I can't play the clips on my web server. I've tried this in Chrome, Firefox and IE 10 with the same result. If I open the inspector in Chrome and view the Network...
