I'm considering putting one of my cams online as a weather camera. A decade ago, Weatherunderground was a popular place for weather cams. Where do the weather cams go these days? I'm using BI5. What technologies are generally required to safely expose one camera stream? Thanks Robert P.S. Here...

I've just started using UI3 on a Fire tablet that is dedicated to showing cameras and I'm extremely pleased. It's currently using Silk as the browser. It is in our family room. It would be fantastic if some sort of audible sound or announcement could be sent to the tablet when a camera triggers...

I just migrated to BI5 from BI4. My BI system is integrated with HomeSeer for home automation and security. All of the interfacing is via http calls. The one area where I am a bit blind is camera status. I can set the camera status (enabled/disabled) via http just fine. But.. I don't know of any...

I've been a BI4 user on Windows 8 & 10 for several years. I'm closely integrated with Homeseer so I use http commands from BI4 to HS3 and in reverse for triggers and profile changes. I've not had any real motivation to move to BI5 until recently when I decided to move BI to its own server...

Hello all. I've been using BI for a number of years with good success. 3 cams and it just runs. Very happy. The wife has challenged me to add another camera that will record/alert a hummingbird feeder just outside of one of the windows. It is also the window she sees when sitting in her favorite...

My location only has satellite internet available which is metered with a monthly cap of 10GB. As such I watch real close how much traffic I generate. No videos, just JPEG files. In the record tab, I have it setup to take a JPEG snapshot every 60 minutes. In the post tab, it is configured to...

I have a use case where I need to send an http: command to BI4 to take a JPEG snapshot on a specific camera. Not wanting to trigger the camera. Would produce the same results as would when you right click a camera and click snapshot. I know I can trigger them. But can find anywhere about taking...

For some reason, on each of my cameras, I am no longer able to edit the zones and hot spots. When I go into the motion sensor configuration screen, Use Zones is checked but the edit button is grayed out. I've edited them before but now can't. Any ideas?

I've been using BI for a new months and am now trying to do something that I just can't figure out. Here is the scenerio: I have four logical states for my house - Away, No Security, Sleeping, Arriving. They are controlled from a HomeSeer3 system. In the states below, I am only indicating what...

I have two BI locations that I want to monitor with the BI app on my android phone. I have it accessing one of the locations just fine. Is there a way to add a second location? I realize I will only be able to be logged into one at a time and that is no problem. I've searched and didn't find an...

I'm running BI 4.4.5.3x64. I have multiple locations. I'm having a problem with one of them. It gets its internet via satellite (Exede). Slow download speed (< 2Mbps) and slower upload speed. The problem is when I am away from this site, I like to use TightVNC to remote desktop into it. However...

Running BI version 4.4.6.2 64 bit. We just downloaded the Blue Iris Mobile app (ver 1.54.05) on a iPad. It is connected to the BI server just fine. Cameras and alerts working fine. One functionality we really need is to be able to change the traffic light and the profiles and schedules. Right...
