    Frequent shutdowns and BSOD's on usually great PC

    I run Blue Iris as a service on dedicated i7-4770K (4th gen, Haswell). 16GB DDR3 RAM. 8 various cams, 24/7 recording and motion detect, Direct to Disk (each cam) and HW acceleration turned on. There have been some hiccups since 2013 but it's been pretty good for years - hums along at 20% CPU...

    Any updates on a Blue Iris Client?

    I remember hearing about this years ago. Thankfully UI2 is really nice, but I'm really interested in a legit client so that I can do a bit more and get out of a browser. Has there been any word on the development on this?

    Geofencing, sometimes doesn't register exit of geofence

    I have a really simple geofence setup, been running for a few weeks. Owner of a company wants office filmed while they are not in the office. Mostly works, but due to some circumstances, I'd like for it to work 100% of the time if I can figure it out. User enters geofence: Profile 1 set to...

    Any way to hide camera when inactive?

    Using geofencing to turn off an indoor camera upon entry. It's working great, but leaves the frame for that camera on the display (greyed out and it says "Inactive") and I'd prefer to not waste the space. I thought I could hide that one camera when that profile is activated, but that's not an...

    What's the best cloud backup for Blue Iris Alert images?

    Anyone have luck w/ backing up alert images to an unlimited cloud service? Not trying to backup video to the cloud, just alert images. I've tried google photos - upload seemed really slow (I'm on gigabit fiber so it's not my connection). Tried Amazon Prime photos - upload of the entire alerts...

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    I have an LTS branded Hikvision dome camera installed in a garage that likes to lose connection on warm days. It's POE, Ethernet cable ran about 50FT through an attic (unconditioned, obviously hot). Camera itself is not in any direct sunlight and room temps in garage closely resemble temps...

    Small camera display project, looking for ideas/advice

    I made a picture frame and put an unused HP Stream 7 tablet running Win10 in it (see pics) to show a couple of cameras via bp2008's remote live view page. I love that it's touch screen (tap to full screen a cam) and love the small size. The tablet only has wireless Internets, so as expected...

    BI's camera watchdog - does Reboot command work?

    I have 4 Hikvision cams in a remote location and once in a while, one of the cams goes offline and needs to be rebooted. I don't know why that happens in this location, but a reboot fixes. I would love to automate the reboot. Anyone know if the setting in Camera Settings > Watchdog > "Send...

    Hik NVR - remote connects ok but can't get a remote video stream

    I have a hikvision NVR (purchased from LTS, model: LTN8704-P4). Everything has been working great up until a week ago - nothing has changed as far as the network or NVR. I can log onto the config remotely, but remote streaming won't work on the web, client software, or mobile app. I see this...

    Low Disk Space, BI not deleting old Alerts

    I have BI record New and Alerts to C. It does a good job emptying the New folder, but sometimes the Alerts folder fills up way past the allotted amount and completely fills up my C drive. BI quits working at that point, can't remote into the PC, so I manually go in (at this time Windows is, of...

    Want to see your household monitoring pics (tablet, TV, monitor in kitchen, etc.)

    I'm hoping to see the different ways people have installed something to monitor their cams in a household setting, like a tablet, little screen in the kitchen/hall, etc.. I'm looking for ideas and want something non-intrusive, professional/finished look, something you can glance at as you walk...

    Hik NVR 4 Channel Monitoring not crisp until full screen

    I'm using a new re-branded Hik NVR (LTN8704-P4) from milkisbad which is running fairly current and standard Hik firmware. I have a monitor connected directly to the NVR showing the 4 channels. The images seem to be pulling from a substream until I click on a camera for full screen, then it...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Been trying to diagnose this for a while as I hate taking up Ken's time if a problem is something I can fix. Every other day or so, I'll find my headless, dedicated BI PC unresponsive and see BI is using 95-100% CPU. Normal is anywhere from 30-50%. i7-4770K 16GB DDR3 RAM Asus Sabertooth Z87...

    iVMS (hikvision NVR iOS app) can you view alerts?

    Anyone with a Hikvision NVR using iVMS mobile app, I'm really curious as to how to view alerts vs. just the continuous footage or if that's even possible. MAN, this NVR makes me really appreciate Blue Iris, but it will hopefully achieve what I need it to where this is installed. With BI's...

    Robber falls into a trap

    Not my video, but thought this was great. I've always thought banks need a similar system. :)

    Out of order alerts on IOS app

    App v. 1.50.04, Blueiris v. 4.1.3.1 x64 Anyone else seeing out of order alerts on iPhone app? For me, some seem to stick near the top, not following the timeline. This only happens in the app, not in BI exe. Just wanted to check make sure it's not something I can fix. It's been happening for a...

    Customize Push Alerts

    I thought I'd experiment w/ getting push alerts on an outdoor camera that doesn't get a lot of false alarm motion triggers, but along with the normal motion alerts, I'm getting a ton of "Signal network retry" alerts from cameras that don't even have push turned on. Anyone know if there is any...

    idea for front door cam: hikvision cube + liquipel

    I really want the hik cube near our front door but worried about wind-driven rain getting to it in that location. I may paint it (would like for it to be more inconspicuous) and then send it off to this company for waterproofing: www.liquipel.com Seems like they are geared towards waterproofing...

    BI 4.0 - play/pause shortcut changed (small stuff)

    One minor thing I noticed.. The spacebar shortcut has been modified from play/pause to play/advance speed of playback. So, instead of pausing when I want to hit the space bar, it's increasingly speeding up. I see what they were doing and maybe it's nice for some, but I need a way to edit this in...
