    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Not familiar with TeamViewer. If it helps I installed BlueIris Tools from the "special" package because it wouldn't work from the regular one.

    Geofence on iOS & BI 4?

    I have BI Geofencing working with my and my wife's Android Galaxy S5. BI correctly reflects the state as Inside/Outside the fence and executes a "Web Request" which is linked to a MultiSwitch in Vera to show Hme/Away. However, I'm trying to use BI Geofencing with my daughter's iPhone 5 but it...

    Blue Iris Hardware Recommendations

    Further to this, I have my new system running. I was able to get it running using a copy of the current system even running under Windows XP. The only glitch was to find LAN drivers for XP which it turns out Zotac included on their setup CD despite the fact they don't support XP on this machine...

    Alerts/Watchdog "Request from web service" stopped working

    Sometime in the past few releases the "Request from web service" stopped working, i now get an "Error requesting page: 12007." I've been using this to transfer motion detection and Camera Loss-of-Signal information to Vera and it has been working fine for month. Today I noticed the LOS...

    By way of comparison for new comers, I have the following setup: Zotac ZBox with a 1.8 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 3GB main memory, a 256GB SSD. All recorded files storage is to folders on Dropbox so they copy offnet in the background. I'm running Windows XP with BI 4 and Blue Iris Tools. I have...

    Blue Iris Hardware Recommendations

    Thanks. I've been very happy with the current Celeron but I want to move up to the higher resolution and a somewhat higher frame rate. As it stands the Celeron has around 50-65% CPU so its breathing hard when it starts recording. And I've just added BI tools so that's added some to the CPU. My...

    Blue Iris Hardware Recommendations

    I've just ordered a Zotac XBox with an Intel 2.5GHz i7 to replace my current Celeron ZBox. The current system has 14 1MP 720p cameras running on the second stream (640x352) and 5fps due to the load until I can get the new system. I'll change to the 1240x720 first stream and a higher frame rate...

    Dash Cam with GPS, Wi-Fi and automatic transfer

    Anyone know of a Dash Camera with GPS-tagged recordings and Wi-Fi that can be configured to automatically dump the recordings to storage on the home LAN/Cloud/DropBox/etc over Wi-Fi when it detects and connects to the home network?

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I noticed that if the CPU monitor trips it sends the overage report every few minutes even if the usage has dropped back down to normal Is this the intended behavior or am I missing a setting somewhere? It seems to me that once it has sent the notification if the usage drops back that it ought...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I want to use BI Tools to alert me when BI crashes/restarts. I tried installing it on my BI system running Windows XP but it keeps telling me that files are out of date and offering to update them. I say yes and then restart and the next attempt to install it does the same thing. Does BI tools...

    Triggering BI camera to record with HTTP commands, works with VERA

    My intent is to record the front entry cameras when the doorbell rings. My doorbell is configured with a ZWave input to Vera and sends an alerts when the bell rings. Now I want to add the ability to record the entry area say for 10 seconds as well. I modified the camera setup to make the front...

    BI Signal Restart

    Mine does sometimes too, but not consistently. So far this week I've seen it come back up with no profile active at all, not even the "~" Inactive profile. I've tried installing the BI Tools to see if I can get a positive message on restart but i keep getting installation errors, says my system...

    BIT Installation Problem

    I'm trying to install BIT on my BI system running under Windows XP. It keeps telling me that some files are out of data and offers to update them and restart. After a restart it continues to say the same thing. BIT not functional under Windows XP?

    BI Signal Restart

    "Notifications - Get notified if BI crashes via e-mail, push notifications via Pushover (download BIT iconhere), by playing a sound, pinging / launching a URL." A quick scan looks like that might do it, I'll check it out. Thanks John

    BI Signal Restart

    As an example, Vera sets the profile in BI according to whether the alarm is set Away Day/Night or Home Day/Night. If the PC restarts for some reason BI does not appear to return to the last Profile setting. If Vera could know the PC had restarted it could reset the BI mode to match the current...

    BI Signal Restart

    I'm not using auto-update but I would like some way for BI to tell Vera if I manually update, restart the PC, etc. Vera manages BI in conjunction with the DSC alarm system settings to set the BI mode/profile depending on the alarm state so I like to keep Vera updated on changes.

    Insects and Cameras

    I know this is going to sound stupid but I'm having an odd problem with some of my cameras. I find tiny insects stringing very fine threads across the face of some of my cameras, perhaps tiny spiders leaving their webs. Not only does this sometimes almost completely obscure the camera vision...

    Problems sending SMS/MMS to AT&T phones

    I'm using "mms.att.net" which is the BI default for ATT. I'm still fiddling but I do get some through occasionally now so I suspect there is some problem with the mail server and ATT. Wouldn't THAT be a surprise :)

    Switch camera to full screen on motion detected

    I've been going through the Help for various functions but I don't see what I'm looking to do. Right now I have 12 cameras in BI all displayed on screen at the same time in individual tiles. This display currently runs through one of the inputs on the big screen monitor in the Family Room but...
