Wondering if there's a quick way to do this. I know I can can go into the browser of the TV and type all the credentials in and all that but it's a pain in the ass. How do you all do it?

Just as the title says, I started recording sometime yesterday, and have active working files that show that, however the timeline in BI won't show before 0200 this morning, what is causing this? I'm guessing it has something to do with database repair at 0200? What settings should I change>

So I'm planning out how to set up my system. I have five cameras all POE, IDEALLY I would like to not have to run 5 cables to the outside of my house to their respective positions but rather one cable, into a switch, then from that switch into all the cameras, since all the cameras will be close...

My uncle wants me to set up a few cameras in his barn (he has wired internet going to it) I personally went the route of a PC running Blue Iris, but I feel like that would be overkill for him for just a few cameras. Is there a good NVR or DVR recommendation that does POE that I can hook a few...

So I can export all of my camera feeds just fine, but for whatever reason my two Reolink Duo 2 cameras export at 1fps. When I play the video back in BI, it's perfectly fine, steady 30 fps or whatever it is, exporting, no bueno. I've tried every possible combination of settings I feel like and...

So my parents want to get an IP camera, but they want to deal with DVR and setting it up and all that stuff. In theory, wouldn't it be easy enough to get an IP cam for them and port forward it, then capture the stream on my BI server? Or does that come with complications?

Just as the title says, there's (to me) a disgusting amount of lag between the PTZ command and the actual movement of the camera (not the video feed). Whether the input is from my network keyboard, or within the camera interface itself, the delay is aroun 46 ms. It's quite difficult to quickly...

Just as the title says, when I want to view and playback footage on another computer that isn't the BI comp, I hate using the BI webpage everything is so blurry. Is it possible to just have another instance of BI that has the same cameras connected but doesn't record anything, and just have it...

So playing around with a different camera system I have set up and opened up my port, my camera is just laying in my closet because I'm not actually using this system, but I noticed that someone managed to log into my BI using my username, and evidently my password which is VERY obscure. Does...

So currently I'm using 8TB of NVME in a Raid 0 configuration for my BI drive. With 9 4K cameras, video playback is snappy and I'm quite happy with BI's performance. Recently, I've been kind of craving a big more storage however, because this set up only allows me a few days of playback...

So my drives always say over allocated, even though I have 230GB of free space, I did some googling and there was a post that said BI thinks the files are still there if manually deleted and you have to rebuild the DB, so I did that, and I still show overallocated. How do I get rid of this? Also...

Morning, I went to remote view my cameras from my phone like I always do and it says my IP is banned. I know I didn't ban my own IP, and it couldn't have been from failed attempts at logging in or anything. I don't see anywhere where there is a ban list or anything like that. What's the story...

Hey guys, I'm wondering how you all go about viewing BI remotely on home monitors? I have my surveillance server and main monitor up in my office, but I would like to have a low profile wall panel downstairs with cameras on it. How do you guys go about doing this? Same with TV's in the house...

Looking to finally replacy my 4x Amcrest wifi cams with 4x 360 Cameras from Amcrest. Wondering if BI plays nicely with 360 cams, and does things like Dewarping etc. Anyone have any experience

Just looking through amazon they all seem very consumery and not commercial grade. Does anyone have any low profile dome cameras they reccommend? Couple hundred a piece at the most would be good.

Just as the thread reads - when I play back and video it plays back super slow and choppy then it goes really fast, like it's fast fowarding, then goes back to slow and choppy. I thought this may have been a bandwidth issue, but I checked and it is not. I think it may be a frame rate /...

Kind of a confusing question. I have my main Blue Iris PC that's in one part of my house, but I would like to also view and watch videos on my office computer, NOT through the web UI. I assume it's possible to have BI installed on two places at once and be able to read from the cams at both...

I keep reading online about people using joysticks, xbox controllers, etc to control the PTZ on BI. I can't seem to find any guilde or walkthrough on how to do it. I've got a spare Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS lying around and figured why not give it a shot. Anywhere anyone can point me?

Hello - I'm trying to replace my 6x Amcrest Indoor Cameras, with something smaller, and with a wider FOV. I purchased two sets of smaller cameras and neither works. I really like this pair I purchased but can't seem to get them to work - what do I need to look for in order to determine if a...

So I have blue iris and I have 9 cameras. I have this issue where every several minutes a random camera will go into a "no signal" state for a few seconds then pop back. This is seemingly random and doesn't occur in any one specific camera. 3 of my cameras are wired, and 6 are wireless, the...

Evening all, I did some looking and couldn't really find an answer. I have a problem with all my night cams constantly going off and recording because of bugs flying in front of the screen. How should I set my settings to prevent these things from happening? I figured it would be pixel travel...

So all my other cameras record and have their videos show up in the alerts tab there on the left. Kitchen also triggers and records properly, and I can go back and view the video (can see them all down on the timeline), and it shows up when I turn the camera filter off and view them all, however...

I picked up these on amazon thinking they would work and to my dismay they did not. It's hard to tell which cameras work and which don't. Does anyone have any low profile usb powered cams they use? 1080P with NV preferably. I like these because you can just stick them to the wall, but I...

All of my cameras are fine, but these two always dip out and say no signal detected after a few minutes. I can't seem to figure out why. Any ideas?

So I noticed These connections in my connections tab, the bottom is me, but the top 3 I don't know, one is an IP from Florida using a VPN, and the other is a Michigan VPN. What do these mean and why is their connection session 0:00:00:00? Thanks, sorry I'm a newbie. Steve

I'm really lost while shopping around for these PTZ joysticks, I have no idea what to get. Do they make ones that just plug into an ethernet port in my system that are simply POE? or is that not how it works. I'm not trying to connect this thing directly to the camera. Are there any cheap...

I learned from my last thread I am not supplying enough power to my three cameras so here I am again... Thanks to all who helped in my last post. I have three cameras I need powered. a Sumba Illuminati, and 2x Reolink Duo 2's. I have my Eth cable from the router ran, and at the same place as...

Hey there guys! So I think I'm having a power issue, but I'm not sure. My cameras are barely functioning. Lots of issues. So from my Router I have a POE Injector, 60W This guy right here. From there, I go into a POE splitter of sorts. This guy right here. From there, I have 3 cameras. The...
