    License problem

    Yes, I have emailed support about this, but wanted to post in here in case anyone has any ideas on what I can do before support gets back to me. I have an older Windows 10 Pro PC (retail license) with Blue Iris installed and wanted to move my Windows 10 Pro license to a new Windows 10 Pro...

    What does "(no file)" mean in the alert list image thumbnails?

    When using the console app and viewing alerts for any given camera (cameras record continuously). each thumbnail says (no file) next to the duration. Does anyone know what this means? Does it mean there is no video file that represents the alert? If so, I believe it used to refer to the...

    Live.sem stuck?

    I've had this reoccurring alert in my Blue Iris log for quite some time and it's getting really annoying and I'm not sure the root cause. I have 2 Western Digital Purple hard disk drives in my system, a 2 TB and a 6 TB. Half of my 14 drives record to 1 and the other half record to the other...

    Video date/time overlay appearing on motion?

    I have 2 Dahua cameras that I use for LPR duty and have the video overlay checkbox turned off (always have). These cameras only record on motion. Live video displays properly, no date/time overlay. When motion is detected, suddenly BI puts the date/time in the lower right corner (where it...

    Adding a network card for archiving to NAS?

    In my Blue Iris PC, I currently have 2 network cards, one that communicates with my main network (where my NAS, a Synology DS1817+ with 4 network ports lives), and another network card that talks just to my camera network (different subnet). This is a headless PC that I use remote desktop to...

    Hardware video decoding no longer works

    Video Adapter: Intel 530 Driver Version: 25.20.100.6323 BI version: 4.8.5.3 I just installed the latest round of Windows updates, one of which was a video driver and now most of my cameras show "no signal", even though they are fully accessible on my network. They are all set for Hardware...

    Has anyone seen this display driver error before?

    This happens rarely, but often enough to be concerning (about once every 6 to 8 weeks or so). The PC is Windows 10 Pro, headless, i7 6700K, and not using the latest Intel video driver intentionally because of the "CPU usage creep" bug. Anyway, here are a few screenshots of the Event Viewer...

    Blue Iris URL for TinyCam Pro on Android?

    For some reason, I am having a very difficult time getting this to work. I moved all of my IP Cameras (mixture of Dahua and HikVision) to their own VLAN, so they are intentionally isolated from my main network. So, my only recourse from the perspective of my Nvidia Shield with TinyCam Pro...

    I love BI, but the database is terrible

    I have clips for all of my cameras that go back all the way to 5/23/18, but for some reason my alerts (the ones viewed along the right side of the console), only go back to 6/26/18 for all of my cameras. I have rebuilt the database, regenerated, etc and nothing changed. It's impossible that my...

    What is causing some cameras to have "no signal"?

    I have a mixture of Hikvision and Dahua cameras connected to a Dlink 24 port POE network switch. Some of the cameras record to an internal WD Purple 6TB drive and some record to an internal WD Purple 2TB drive. I just updated BI yesterday and all of the "no signals" were at 0, now this is how...

    Absolutely impressed with the IPC-HDW5231R-Z!

    Just had to share my personal experience with how great the IPC-HDW5231R-Z is in low light! Just replaced a HikVision DS-2CD3332-I with the 5231 and the difference is staggering (in my opinion). Here is the HikVision: and here is the 5231 mounted in the same spot: The HikVision was really...

    DBCompact warning 1/0/0/0

    This software can be horribly annoying. I always used to get an error saying the database was in use while it was trying to perform maintenance at 2:00 am...now since BI was updated a few versions ago (I am running version 4.6.1.2), I don't get that anymore but now I get this: DBCompact could...

    Getting seriously tired of this error

    I kept getting this error, corrupt or disk error 00000020, on my old BI computer before I decided to build a dedicated BI system. Now, I have this brand new computer with BI on an SSD, Windows 10 Pro, with nothing on it other than the OS and BI so I was hopeful it would not come back. Well...

    Version 4.5.6.2 in Internet Explorer, login page borked.

    Anyone else getting this with the latest update? Seems like there are some issues with the webserver as of late. I know the developer was working on web page compression stuff, so this might be a side effect of that.

    Does anyone know what this BI warning means?

    I can't find that particular file in any of my BI folders. Hope it didn't get deleted. I'm pretty sure the movefile api wouldn't do that if the move was not successful.

    Just a Blue Iris FYI

    I, like most of us here update my BI whenever it prompts me to do so. I also use Internet Explorer to remotely view video when I am away from home. I just noticed yesterday (apparently I don't pay close attention), the link on the webpage that says "Install the ActiveX [4.0.0.4]". I do use...

    What would cause BI to do this?

    I have two HikVision DS-2CD3332-I cameras on the front of our house, one on the north end and the other on the south end. Both basically view the road but from different angles. Here is a short clip caught by camera A (north) that worked perfectly: You see a car from the left, and then a van...

    Weird video skipping problem

    I have noticed in the recent past a few cases where my BI seems to skip parts of a video recording. Here is an example of what I am talking about: The first part is me putting a chair back onto our patio, walking right to left. That records perfectly. Then, as I walk left to right, the video...

    Clips and archiving question

    I currently have 4 Hikvision ds-2cd3332 cameras and use the latest version of BI. So I have a folder structure that looks like this: E: drive (128 GB SSD) e:\BlueIris\db e:\BlueIris\New (files stay here for 14 days) F: drive (2 TB HDD) f:\stored (files stay here for 3 months) G: drive (4 TB...
