    License unrecognized after Windows 10 update

    Had Blue Iris 4 loaded and running for a long while, and allowed a Windows 10 update to go forth, selecting update and restart. After the long process was completed, when starting up Blue Iris it inexplicably showed the Welcome! screen, thanking you for installing Blue Iris, and saying there is...

    cams/BI captured a-hole stealing my kids' xmas presents

    Yeah, if I'm expecting an unmonitored delivery at home, I tend to monitor the tracking information on an OCD basis under the assumption the delivery guy won't bother ringing. Even kids dropping off the flaming poop bags would extend you that courtesy- :cool:

    Dynamic IP issues.

    So the address provides a utility to look up the present IP of the system; should come in handy as an emergency backup if the DDNS service fails- good to know!

    cams/BI captured a-hole stealing my kids' xmas presents

    Does UPS do some kind of partnership with FedEx for package tracking? I know USPS has some combined arrangement, but didn't figure UPS would. I think most of the delivery services do the drop and run method of package delivery- I'm able to have everything delivered to work, which has been...

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    Did the database / Repair/regenerate, and it finished in under a minute- aaaand... Voila! All the clip markers are back! Thanks much! I do recall when I looked at the Blue Iris Status log, it showed a "database corrupt" error every day at 2AM for the past three days. Guess that had...

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    I'll try and see if that'll do it. It did have the clips from BI v3 in there before and they didn't show up even before, only the recent ones recorded in v4. Just got the v4 license and the CPU percentage dropped to half what it was idling at before- :applause:

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    One odd thing did come up on the demo; the timeline seems to have stopped showing the recorded clip segment markers and the alert icons. They were there before, and I had different colors set up for the individual cameras. Now all it shows is the red cursor line. I was trying to see if I...

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    I did note the CPU usage displayed on the demo program generally shows about 49%, which seemed high if accurate. I was wondering about that and thought it a bit concerning because I ran BI 24/7 on my last Dell PC and it experienced what I thought a premature motherboard failure in under two...

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    This was the question I asked, If I use the upgrade discount , is that considered only an upgrade or a separate full version of ver 4? The full ver 4 is available for $48 on your ebay site, so I was wondering if there was any difference between that and the upgrade as far as being able to use...

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    Got in touch with Blue Iris support and it turns out that the upgrade option does continue to allow the prior program to be used, which is good. I'm going to go ahead with it, as the demo looks fully functional even with mobile phone access of the webserver with the Amcrest.

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    Good to know, thanks- considering between that or an additional $18 to get the full version instead of the upgrade.

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    By the way, regarding the $30 upgrade, is that distinct from purchasing the full Ver 4 program and tied in with the ver 3, being intended as replacement only? Can the older program continue to be used for a second host system if the upgrade is purchased rather than an entirely new full version?

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. I agree the updated version is the best way to go with this, but I'm just curious if it's possible for the older version to still work on new cameras with a tweak of the settings.

    BI v3.66 and Amcrest HD Pro

    I've been using Blue Iris ver 3 for several Foscam cameras for a while now, and just recently got a Amcrest Pro HD camera. Excellent video quality compared to the Foscam HD I had before it melted from a fire. The camera isn't listed in the long drop down list of cameras, but I was able to...
