I changed phones, so I wasn't getting push notifications. Since I have system alerts set to notify when BI has errors, I thought - wow! I haven't had any restarts or errors in weeks! Well, checking logs today, I see both. What is the subject error? And what does "stopping" refer to...

I know it's a stretch, but if there's any way to integrate this camera, I'd like to give it a go. I needed a quick, simple, dirty way to get notifications for a neighbor's chicken coop. They've been getting some kind of predator that's been picking off chickens. It's probably a yote or...

I'm not quite sure what setting would cause it to double-tap like this. It's not every trigger, but most. My settings are as follows:

Had a nearby strike that took out 11 switches and fiber-to-ethernet adapters. At least that's what I counted so far. The problem is that all of the distant ethernet runs have no power - so I have to use ethernet (vs fiber) to have power at the cameras. Some runs are approaching 500' long...

My kids are getting to the age where they have figured out how to get their tablets to the LAN IP and are/were logging in w/o credentials since I had disabled LAN authentication. I've changed that, and created them their own user accounts. It's been a while since I created new groups, but...

I've had this camera for many years. Recently it's been rebooting randomly on a pretty frequent basis - sometimes in as little as 2 minutes. While reboots are not unusual (it's always done every once and a while), the loss of time, presets, and any other configuration variables is new. I've...

I just receive a promo email from them... Looks compelling for sub-$200. https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-Motorized-Detection-Intrusion-IP4M-S2112EW-AI/dp/B0C32MQ38Y I like the wide field (2.7mm) and two-way audio for gate use...

I debated whether to post this, but figured it highlights success, so why not. This bobcat has been poaching my chickens quite successfully for over year. I've tried leg snap traps, sitting in a blind high up in a tree, but he would never show, or was too smart for the traps. Until...

I am getting these errors all afternoon. I just now had time to investigate what's going on. The entire time, NOTHING has been recording - whether clip or alerts. More than anything, I'd like to know how to keep this from happening. I'm running UI3 version 229, Blue Iris version: 5.7.0.3...

I am struggling to get my AI to work properly after upgrading the CodeProject to 206. These are my settings for the camera: Sometimes it catches the same vehicle coming, but not leaving, and other times, it catches them leaving, but not coming. For example, this video shows the school bus...

So I would like a given camera to record with any motion detected by the camera. And I'd like to set up a "trip wire" where if it is crossed, it sends an alert. Using the motion detection, I have set up zone A to trigger with any movement anywhere in the image. I set zone B as a line, and...

I'm using the Verizon SMS/MMS gateway option as a quick and dirty way to send neighbors notifications when someone comes down our dead end street. I have several on my alert list and all of them get the same alerts. Consistency has been problematic, as Verizon's email to text gateway can have...

3 identical errors, on on each of three cameras. All within 2 hrs. UI3 version 226, Blue Iris version: 5.6.5.9 Otherwise running fine. Anyone see these? Don't want to be overly dramatic if it's a benign error, but it is push notifying me which makes the same sound as a system restart - so...

I have multiple tablets around the house (and at in-laws place) that I use exclusively for monitoring BI via UI3. When someone breaks the IR beam at my gate, it triggers an alert for the gate camera that sends out: 1) Push notification to BI app on my cell phone (instant delivery) 2) A...

I know, I know... being on the bleeding edge causes problems. Willing to take that risk in an attempt to help flush bugs... That said, with the latest update (5.6.3.2, UI 223 and 224) I can no longer see most of my clips/alerts. They are there, as I can see them if I open the .BVR file from...

Not quite sure when it started but my live, recorded, and exported clips all appear to have the video a second or more behind the audio. Occurs whether exported from BI console, or UI3. Happens with all cameras that have audio - either their own audio channel or when taken from another...

Over the years, I've had intermittent success getting the two-way audio to work. Sometimes it would go through reasonably clearly, other times so distorted and chunky it was useless. Other times, the microphone button would turn green only while held, others it would stay on until clicked a...

I have this camera - a Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.7~12mm that works reasonably well on my street. However, I just installed the same camera on a neighbor's new installation, and I can't seem to get the exposure correct. I've duplicated my settings, but on her street, cars are moving much faster...

Never seen anything like it. Running on an i7-6xxx with 16gb ram, win 10 w/latest updates. It's a new system I put together for neighbor. Latest intel drivers installed (from Dell for Optiplex 7050). Screen "paints" very slowly - with each button/icon coming up about .5 seconds after the...

UI3 version 221, Blue Iris version: 5.6.0.5 Newly installed on a neighbors PC. Playback on all cameras is sub-stream resolution. Live shows sub momentarily then snaps to main as it should. This happens on UI3 (both local PC and remote PC) and on the console locally. I've verified that...

I have a neighbor with a BI set up. I'd like to pull one of her feeds from one of her cameras without connecting to her camera directly (via port forwarding). Instead, I'd like to create a camera and point to a specific camera (or group) being streamed from her server. IOW, I would like to...

So I have multiple neighbors to whom I will be giving access to a single "public" account so they can see my street-side cameras (as part of a neighborhood watch imitative). It's a short term "demo" to help them decide if they want to set up a similar camera system. I don't want to go through...

I've never seen this before. Came home to find BI using 38GB of memory... PC was lethargic, and I was getting an "out of memory" error on my scanning software that runs in the background of the BI machine. This was running 5.5.9.5. My system has 48GB of RAM. BI is running as an app...

We had a wicked lightning storm that came through two nights ago. It cooked four switches. In the process of replacing them, I neglected to plug my small NAS drive back in. Since I don't really use it for anything other than backups, I didn't notice that it was off line until this afternoon...

I think I'm close, but I haven't gotten there. I want to take a snapshot an email it at a fixed time of day. Alert seems to be the way to do it, but can an alert be triggered by schedule rather than motion?

So here's a weird new problem. If I am outside of my network and I put in my dynamic name server address and port number, in my browser, ui3 comes up every time. Rock Solid, quick, and reliably. However, in the blue iris app, if I use that same domain name and port number, select http, it will...

I'm on UI3 version 214, Blue Iris version: 5.5.7.8. Everything is working like a top. However, anytime the database regenerates - either automatically, or manually - the service crashes, and gets into a loop that I cannot kill, unless... I delete/rename the c:/bludiris/db folder. Mind you...

I have been struggling with multiple daily crashes and very jerky playback. It got so bad that I switched to all newer hardware. I'm now on an i7-6x with 48GB ram, 1TB SSD (for OS and app) and 14TB internal SATA drive for clips. To avoid corrupting a brand new system with gremlins from the...

I deleted/regenerated my database after some pretty hideous crashing today and now most of the clips on UI3 playback in sub-stream only. Live streams start off as sub, but them quickly jump to main. Is there a setting that may be forcing sub-stream playback? Interestingly, those that play...

I've attempted to resolve my choppy video and instability on my original i7 PC, but any version beyond 5.5.0.15 was a no go. I finally threw in the towel and upgraded my hardware to a Dell Optiplex 7050 with i7-6x and 16GB ram (going to 32 when it arrives). After getting all the new PC...
