Hi all, a couple of times a day I get this error message: Alert Sound Error:-2147220906 Does anyone know what it is and how to fix it, I have not changed anything and it started a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for any help. Adam

Hi all, I posted something similar before but not quite this. I am getting a new gateway from Xfinity and it is configured for 10.0.0.1 main IP address so I THINK all devices attached will be 10.0.0.X? All my cameras are 192.168.1.X and I want to know if anyone is familiar with possible...

Hi, so I am guessing this has been asked before but my Internet and gateway are from Xfinity (Comcast) and they are older and IP addresses are all 192. They want me to upgrade to the never gaterwat (for free) which will give me much faster speeds but I believe the new gateway will be on a 10. IP...

Hi all, I am running BI5 (release 5.3.5.1) and I notice then when I use the app on my iPhone to reset a particular camera, the camera does restart but it does not reset. In other words lets say I am showing 2 no signals on a camera, if I reset it from the desktop it goes back to 0 like it should...

Hi all, I am sure questions like this have been posted before. I am going to set up a new camera system for my son in his house (not huge, a little under 2,000 s/f) and Ethernet may be tricky to run so looking at getting 6 WiFi cameras, outdoor, dome type, maybe 4mp, 2.8mm lens ( dont need zoom...

Hi all, my son moved in to a house and the previous owner had a DVR IP camera system (uses coax cables) but he did not know his password for his app and does not know the password for the DVR. I am attaching a picture of the DVR's label and a couple of pictures of the front of the DVR (it was in...

Hi all, I am using BI 5 and it's great. Many times I look at my 10 cameras in the software and next to the red circle (showing camera is recording) top right of each camera box. there appears a yellow warning icon as seen in the picture HOWEVER there is no reason for the yellow icon, nothing...

Hi all, I need someone A LOT smarter then me to help! So I have some experience with cameras and I bought a new one as a spare and wanted to change the IP address which is fairly simply by using the camera software using the IP address to get in. All that was fine and then I changed the IP to...

Hi all, I am sure many have seen this so hopefully someone can help. When I try to simply look at one of my cameras be it Dahua, Hikvision, etc by typing my IP in to the browser, I can get in to the camera software when prompted for username and passwork and can do everything in the software...

Hi, all , i got a new iPhone 12 and now can only use the BI app with Wifi. I have the correct WAN and LAN ip addresses with Port forwarding enabled and set on my router and iPhone, everything matches but will only coonect via wiFi. HELP PLEASE. Thanks, Adam

Hi all, my BI 5 app on my iPhone X has been working fine all along but this evening I had an update from Apple (V 14.2) and now find I can't connect with my iPhone. I have been using port forwarding in my Comcast Gateway all along and that has been fine. I checked the WAN and LAN ip address on...

Hi all, this is a really screwy problem and I need some help, I will explain it as besi can. I have BI5 and was using a version form May but just updated to version 5.3.0.3 but still have the same problem. For example on my iPhone I see an alert from an hour ago and when I click on it it goes to...

Hi (Fenderman perhaps), all of a sudden every hour starting this afternoon my iPhone gets an alert from different cameras and when I look on my PC under Blue Iris Status it shows that same message every hour on the hour from a different camera each time : "push: OK to ios phone" I am sure it is...

Hi all (mostly Fenderman), so with BI4 and iPhone I could simply go in to my app and turn on PUSH notifications for each particular camera and it worked fine (until push stopped working with V4 alltogether) so I upgraded to BI5 with help from Fenderman and although the alerts and push do work...

Hi all (Fenderman?), under Blue Iris Status, in the CAMERAS tab under CLIPS it shows 0 for all cameras even though I have many clips. The clips do show up fine on the right hand side where the clips load, I can see them all but they just don't register under CLIPS in the CAMERAS tabs as...

Hi, I have meaning to ask, I have some previous releases of Blue Iris 4 saved on a USB drive, if I wanted to go back to one of those prior releases how do I upload it to BI? I tried the IMPORT SETTING on the Blue Iris options page but it did not roll back to the prior release. Please advise...

Hi all (Fenderman, etc), I have never used any of the PROFILES in BI and today all I did was download the latest BI update and now when I look at my app in my iPhone you can see a green "1" in each camera. It appears my settings are using Profile 1 which I have never touched or done any thing...

Hi all (perhaps Fenderman?), my computer did a routine reboot and now CPU usage for BI 4 is 95% where it should normally be like 55%. I have 9 cameras and I did not change anything but can't see why it is now drawing 98% CPU, help please? Thanks, Adam Farber

Hi Fenderman, BP2008 etc, need some help please? Today I downloaded the latest update and now my iPhone app won't connect (LAN and WAN). I downloaded 4.7.6.9 x64 and when I downloaded it the first time I got an error message that something in the program was being used so I cancelled and then...

Hi all (especially Fenderman) on the BI 4 iPhone app I can't see where I can set a PUSH from the iPhone app to alert by either e-mail or text, can it be done from the app? Thanks, Adam Farber

Hi all, hopefully some help here (especially form the Great Fenderman)? I know this has been covered before but I can not figure this out. My iPhone app worked perfectly on WAN until the power supply on my computer went out so I switched to another computer till I installed the new power supply...

Hi all, strange scenario: I have several cameras and 3 are Dahua and they are the same and work excellently. Today I noticed that on one of them the "LIVE" or desktop view is a much narrower area of picture then either the recorded or the App or the Dahua software view. It was fine yesterday...

Hi all, I e-mail Priority support at Blue Iris a few days ago but no answer( I paid extra for this service) so I thought I would try here: I have 3 cameras that have the electronic zoom, the cameras are Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z When I click on the + or - to control the zoom it will zoom in and out...

OK folks, this is a strange one. I have 3 cameras setup in the front of my house, they are Boavison, I bought them a while ago and they are OK but I am going to replace them but for now they were all nice and clear but one started to drop out so I replaced it with a new one of the exact same...

Hi all, I have 8 cameras in BI 4 and at some point I was able to make 3 or 4 of the camera displays bigger then the others in the softwrae as shown and I have played with settings but can't seem to make 3 or 4 bigger then the others, any help? Thanks, Adam

Hi Fenderman in particular because you have good knowledge and tell it like it is and I respect that ( read many of your posts, they are great) but anyway, if you can perhaps your advice on best IP camera, Ethernet, POE, outside bullet type, 3MP + no PTZ needed, I use it for straight 24 hour...

Hi all, I have an interesting dilemma, I have 8 cameras, one of which is a Reolink RLC-410. On the desktop in Blue Iris as you can see when I see all my 8 cameras in the one frame the Reolink one does not look good HOWEVER when I double click on it and open it full frame it is perfect (as you...

Hi all, I looked all over BI software but can't see how to adjust contrast or lighting, can it be done (no PTZ cameras). Thanks for any help. Adam

Hi all, several times a day some cameras drop (it does this on V4 or V3) . Sometimes one or 2 and sometimes all. Most times they come back in a minute but I get a lot of drops during the day. Sometimes I have to unplug the camera(POE) to get it to start again. I am using 8 wired (ethernet...

Hi all, I just noticed my bottom timeline does not show any activity like it was doing, can someone tell me what to set, I must have somehow changed something. Also, under the RECORD tab for each camera my PRE-TRIGGER VIDEO BUFFER is set for 0, can someone tell me what it should be and what it...
