Yes I can say it has not reached the size limit but is past the day limit. I lowered the size limit

My understanding is direct to disk is obly for h.264 and hd not mpegs?

I see. The video steam on the monitor is not 100% smooth but not bad. Wonder if bi video or wibdows media are any different

Ok so I could use one of the drop down aux folders in the clips and archiving tab for a particular cam and then choose it on the recording tab?

For remote viewing of a wireless cam you need to have static DNS and port forwarding.

This is camgirl8888 but somehow posting under my old forum name fin that I forgot so re-registered. All of my snaps and videos are in my new folder. Is there a way to have a separate folder for each cam? Aftrt 24 hours I can get over 200,000 files in the folder

I am wondering if I need to designate an alert folder for these or can all snaps go into my new folder then storage?

Ok and then for alerts do I choose fire camera upon motion and group? I am wondering if a cam is triggered by motion on its own and also by a group cam if it overloads or which one takes precendence? Maybe whichever happens first?

Hi - I have the highest sensitivity and use 1and1 and gmail. I have had these awhile and no trouble with the emails but I don't understand how to set up group triggering and how it works. If I want 3 cams to fire upon motion and also if a cam in the group fires then how do I do that ?

I think I resolved it - I turned off the wireless from the combined dsl/wireless router modem from the cable company. Thenn on the new router I have plugged in via ethernet, the channel was set to auto, so I changed it to channel 11. The cable company router was set to channel 1 but my new...

What would make blue iris time out on cameras when in reality they are working just fine and sending emails as per the way I have them programmed internally.

Here is another question - my dsl modem from my cable company is also a wireless router but not powerful. So I have connected by ethernet a netgear router with a better broadcast. All of the cams are now connected either wirelessly to the Netgear or via powerline adaptor to Netgear. Is this ok...

How do I reduce bandwidth?

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I do have one extender and I understand that it cuts the bandwidth 50%. I think I need to get powerline adaptors for these as running ethernet to this area is impossible. They also make outdoor powerline adaptors. Then out of all of my cameras only 2 would...

They all work off of the same ddns site if I want them to, but for the port number being different. So I can use for example xyz.myfoscm.org if xyz is available for at least one camera and then just change the port for each cam. This has been working for several years but suddenly with blue iris...

I have the frame rate limiting already but at 500 lowered it to 150? also I have it a 5 fps. I also use the same web address for all cams, maybe they should be on separate ip addresses?

by the way it can be viewed remotely so not a port forwarding issue

Hi - I have 6 Foscam cameras, 2 h.264 and 4 mpeg. I have a new powerful router and 3 of the cameras are not using wifi but are on a powerline adaptor. One mpej camera constantly disconnects from blue iris, but it is connected and I can view it on my phone with live cams pro and also online. So...

Hello - I have three foscam h264 cams and 2 MPEG cams running wirelessly outside. Sometimes they lose the signal on blue iris. Is this a wifi issue I could fix with wifi extenders or do I need more bandwidth? Thanks!

Under the startup options is to run as a service. The next option under that tap is require to run as administrator for console or when stand alone. Do I check that off?

when I run as a service do I choose run as administrator for console or standalone?

Thanks - I have it set up as a service now with auto startup and also an alarm that goes off on my computer if it goes down. There must be a mobile app where I can get into my computer and restart BI if it shuts down and I have an alert pushed to my mobile device - sort of a gotomypc but via my...

I have had several mornings where I wake up and see that the program shut down in the middle of the night. Not for disk space reasons. My understanding is that if I run this as a service that it will restart itself in case this happens? Here is my error log. Looks like it lost signals...

Maybe I can save jpeg to external drive and keep video on c internal drive

Where do you designate the clips and archiving? I am not using a ftp although I guess I could. The post tab I thought was just jpegs - is that video too? I see on the video tab for each camera that there are folders and files like &CAM etc.

Hi - Yes I made a Camera folder and have the new clips there, an alerts folder, a storage folder. Do you designate these on the general clips and archiving page or within each camera properties, under the recording tab, in the folder section? I have mine take a snap a second because the motion...

for example, there is the general settings clip and archiving page, but then for each camera, on the recording page, there are new stored and alerts folders there as well. which do I set for the G: drive which is my terabtye?

do you make the drive designations on the general clip and archiving settings page or on each individual camera properties recording and post page?

I have three cameras. They are on continuous video and each snap a photo a second. All is set to store on my terabyte drive with plenty of space. I have the folder settings for over 1000 gb. For some reason, all recording stops after working properly for hours. How do I fix this? I have no...
