Already spent a ridiculous amount of time and apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I tried setting each cam, in BI cam settings to post a jpeg to a folder on my pc that syncs to Google drive. My issue is that the image saved is delayed about 20 or 30 seconds after the initial...

Every day now, "Blue Iris Evaluation" keeps popping up. Super annoying. Had this copy of BI with same License running for a few years with no issues. Thinking BI is causing an issue. Anyone experience this? It does it at the same time everday.

I'm on 5.5.7.9. Randomly and often, BI tacks out my CPU. I have 12 camera feeds and the system usually runs about 27% or under. It seems after using a browser, my CPU is running at almost 100% with BI running. Not sure where to start but its super annoying and clips are jittery, jerky and just...

I have 2 machines running BI. I purchased 2 licenses. Both systems run on the same network. Both set to not update since I usually wait until absolutely necessary. Had problems caused by crappy updates so I shut it off. Here is what's annoying. Out of the blue, 2 cameras display "No Signal" in...

Hello all. I currently have a Dahua 5231 Varifocal in my back yard and although I want to go with a PTZ, I don't want to go with one requiring a mount like the larger ones with a bracket. My front yard PTZ is a Dahua 49225 which is excellent but I want a smaller format for the backyard. It's...

For years, this has been an issue. Used IE forever but for some reason, 2 of my cams completely done nothing after entering credentials. Tried the NACL plug in on Chrome.. doesn't work and Palemoons download page just errors out for the Americas installation. Been using Edge for months and it...

After having 2 interesting events happening and not being able to review them because of 1) unknown pc shutdown and 2) scheduled reboot at 2am missing an earthquake at 2:02am, I am attempting to have a backup. Long story short, on an old V4 version of BI, 2 newer Dahuas keep displaying "no...

Anybody ever use a polarizing filter on their camera? My PTZ is very dialed in except for certain times of the day in where when a vehicle is parked in the FOV, the bright reflection off of their windshield steals the show and tracking stops there. May try anyway.

Here we go again. What a time consuming process this has been with prior focus issues and waiting 6 weeks for a replacement. My replacement PTZ does not detect the SD card. So far, I tried: Disconnected power for 5 minutes. No good Remove sd card, test in PC, works fine. Format card and...

I am trying to figure out how, if possible, to only have a spotter camera trigger a ptz during evening hours. A vehicle is only parked at night in a certain spot and I don't need the ptz to be triggered to that spot during the day when the vehicle isn't there.

This replacement camera has been great but I am trying to see if anyone here, who is very fluent in Dahua settings can shed some light on possibly reducing this camera's interest in a stationary object hijacking the track. As can be seen in the clip, the camera picks up the moving vehicle and...

How the hell is it done??? OMG!

Sorry to take the lazy route but here it goes. A friend of mine is putting together a new system and I wanted to recommend 2mp Dahua starlights. I have a bunch of 5231s but can't find them. Is there an alternative for the price range of 150 190? Bought all my cams through Andy. Should probably...

I may be misunderstanding what exactly the "CPU" percentage is listed on the UI. This # continuously is way below what the task manager shows on my PC. It generally shows 15% while the task manager shows around 30%. Just curious if it is just my system. I thought maybe that was just indicating...

When it really matters, it seems this cam loves to pick the wrong time to SUCK at focusing. Been a problem from day 1. Does well a majority of the time but this boils my blood.

I am trying to have one of my cameras save a snapshot to a folder. Basically the alert image duplicated to a separate non overwriting hard drive. I am lacking the intelligence to get this working without it saving multiple images and then erasing the image stored before the current one and...

I thought my problems with wonky PTZ actions were over. It is back now and I had this problem with a 59230. WTF is causing this? So annoying. Updated the firmware last week and tracking has been great but this is one thing that sucks.

Can't seem to figure out if anything can be done to resolve this focus issue. It is completely random. In the video, I thought it may be focusing on something closer than the intended area of capture but if you look closely, nothing is in focus.

Can't seem to figure out why my PTZ goes to a preset every midnight for 4 minutes. I am using Blue Iris. There are no camera triggers setup in BI to command the PTZ to that preset, ever. In the PTZ interface, there are no Time Tasks setup to go to that preset (preset 12). There are no scheduled...

Been using an external hard drive for BI folders. Adding a WD Purple drive to the PC to use for BI. Can anyone advise the correct way to move what is on the external drive to the internal so I can still access the clips successfully. It can't be as easy as drag & drop can it?

I am out of ideas with this camera. Whether its set to default or set up with different settings, this thing seems drunk. Such nice features but at the price, I am disappointed. May be returning it and waiting for features that actually work. My brother and I both bought at the same time and I...

My mom's Lorex 4 channel dvr sizzled. I'd like to find an 8 channel. The cameras are fine and they are analog, using BNC type connections. Does anyone have any suggestions on which reasonably priced dvr would be good for this setup? I am very green with these setups since I use Blue Iris at my...

One if my 5231 has a newer firmware and that one has an SSA option and the other cam does not. Is the firmware interchangeable between cameras? Both bought from Empiretec.

Is there a way to restrict clips from being deleted on the host pc running BI? It is a multiuser pc and I want to keep anyone from deleting clips. I see the USER screen in options but dont quite understand how to log into BI as a specific user. Is it based on windows users? HELP LOL UPDATE: I...

Not sure where to start but.. Most days, at 4:41am EXACTLY Blue Iris alerts one of my 5231s disconnect just for a minute or so. This one cam is connected to a mid span POE switch with another 5231. The other one doesn't go "No Signal" at all. Where should I start as far as diagnosing the...

Hey guys. Wondering if its possible to have BI send an image to a cell phone if JUST a hotspot is triggered. From what Ive learned here before, I believe I have to set up another camera on the console and have that camera set up with ONLY the hotspot as a trigger. Some guys here are way better...

I want to dedicate an old 12mm Hik as an LPR cam. I am lazy and don't want to run another cable. Is it possible to add a POE switch near the existing camera? In other words, I want to unplug the existing camera, plug that cable into a switch, and then run 2 short cables. 1 to the existing and...

Got a friend having a garage built. He wants surveillance on all sides. The Router and switch will be in the residence which is about 40 feet away. My question is, to monitor 4 cams from that far, is wireless doable? I already plan on installing a quality router. Rather not dig a trench to run...

Why isn't BI performing the moving of clip images? Confused..

I'm trying to Clone a camera and use hotspot detection. Selected Zone and Hotspot, Highlighted the area using the "H" draw tool. Doesn't trigger an alert. Cam is set up to record when triggered in the "H" zone. WTF!!! All works when I click on "Test". Sorry for my impatience, been messing with...
