    Blue iris all of a sudden crashing, can’t get in to adjust

    Those are both great ideas. I tried unplugging all of my cameras and adding them one by one plugging them in, but it didn’t resolve anything. I checked hardware acceleration and 265 and all cameras and they’re all shut off. I have definitely had issues with hardware acceleration over the years...

    Blue iris all of a sudden crashing, can’t get in to adjust

    Ok, I tested the HD and SSD and it checked out fine. I actually did replace it last year bc the SSD failed on me after many years. I tried safe mode too. I had some odd hunch that one camera was causing it. Bc one of the feeds was black even though I can enter the Dahua camera gui fine via...

    Blue iris all of a sudden crashing, can’t get in to adjust

    Blue Iris 5.2.xx has been amazing for me. It has worked hiccup free for many years. but this morning blue Iris is in a crashing loop. I have restarted the computer several times and all cameras. But every time you open the app on the computer, the app freezes and windows asked me if I want to...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    Oh yes. Maybe I wasn’t clear. That is what I have done already. I removed the CD drive to install the SSD to run the OS. I just taped it in there. Then use the HD cradle for the purple drive. But wanted to add a 3rd drive (another 4TB purple) but I don’t think there is room inside the case for...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    Thank you for the help with the alerts folder. I thought that was the folder anytime there was a motion alert……that it saved the 15 or so seconds of video. Which always confused me because sometimes after it played that small section of video, the playback would stop and frustrate me...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    I used the info about and calculated TBW on the SSD from the cameras to be just under a year. So this all makes great sense now. I was able to stop using the Stored folder (put 0) and only use the New folder (put 3500 then delete). Are you guys still using an Alerts folder, or should I put...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    Always something new to learn. That’s one of the reasons I like the challenge of IP cameras in Blue Iris. This small 240GB SSD has been recording 7x 4MP cams for almost a year. Wonder the TBW on 275MP/s 24/7 a year. What SSD brand and models are you guys using to record on Blue Iris? That fit...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    EVERYONE'S comments make great sense. I know better than to write directly to SSD constantly but I thought that is who people were doing it for better alert speed playback from the new folder. I guess everything comes with compromise. I must have misunderstood this. I will try to get the drive...

    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    Unfortunately, my main sytem SSD has failed again. It failed april 2022 and I replaced it. What am I doing wrong? It is a Sandisk 240GB SSD. On a Dell Optiplex. I inserted the drive to another computer and also can't get past the windows screen with a loading circle. I have unplugged it a few...

    scrambled green screen

    Thank you @Tinman. This error has been an issue for me the last month, but switching to javascript setting fixed it for me. Appreciate the original poster and everyone's troubleshooting on this one.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I played around with that just now. It does give you access to the entire clip. But when playing it back it will skip from alert to alert and not let me see the entire clip on the time that I want to view. Also, sometimes the clip just runs out and I know there's more but I can't get to the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I apologize if I am missing the obvious. I have read the help section and manual. Is there a way to filter out (.jpg snapshot images) from the "Clips" playback button? I have our system taking a still photo when triggered. Those save for long term storage. Working well. But when trying to...

    Oh that makes total sense now that you explain it. It is working so well, so probably no reason to overcomplicate things. Thanks for your hard work on this UI.

    Blue Iris UI3

    First off, I LOVE UI3!!! It has been so useful. We use it on a microcomputer to stream all of our cameras on a screen over wifi using Chrome. It has been so stable. I only need to reset it once a week at most and that is bc there was a wifi hiccup. We currently have 8 cameras to monitor on a...

    Need help picking out Equipment for remote Location- Needs to boot back up easily

    i’m glad it helped you! It’s probably due for an update by now. I’ll try working on that. The cable modem issue is resolved. I replaced it with a new modem and I added two backup power supplies. I’m not sure which item fixed it but it’s been reliable for 2+ years and boots back up after power...

    Save 20GB of Images or Alerts ???

    We recently had an incident. It was 3 weeks ago. Our stored BI files only go back 2 weeks with the current 2TB Purple drive. So we have nothing. Is there a way to save (for example 90 days of images or Alert images) then clear those out automatically and start over again? I have read the...

    Hi guys, building a new blue iris system with a friend for a single family house. They have Arlo now and it has missed a lot of important events. Including a recent bike robbery on the front porch. Is there anything you would suggest we swap out or add? We are right on budget right now, but...

    Dahua NVR Stopped sending emails

    I had no idea this was required. Of all the threads and walk through the snow and spoke of this. And I don’t remember seeing it in cycle. But I think you solve this for me. I will start looking around and get a special app password. Thank you so much.
