    Awesome addition! More idiot-proof every day. :)

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    Bleh... I figured it out. All the cameras had their "Webcast" feature disabled. No idea how it happened, but that was the whole problem. For some reason this didn't prevent the main UI screen from functioning (with all the cameras displayed), but my guess is that UI3 switches to a direct...

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    Nope. I went into the www/ui3 folder and there's no ui3-local-overrides.css file. Yes. Will do that right now; thanks for your assistance!

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    Some more info that might be of help: -- As a regular user with only view privileges, clicking a camera does nothing -- With admin privileges, clicking a camera results in a spinning-wheel icon, "Unable to connect to server" error message, and frozen UI -- looking in Google Chrome console, I...

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    I wonder if this is something my router is clamping down on. The port is open (otherwise I wouldn't get anything at all), but I wonder if some router firewall rule is triggering on single camera views / alerts / recordings?

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    I also tested UI3 with my admin account. Same behavior. Nothing has been changed in the User profiles.

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    On a more recent version of Blue Iris (5.5.1.20), the initial UI with all the cameras looks fine, with the exception of no alerts on the left. All the cameras are visible and are updating live. However, clicking a camera now produces a red error in the bottom right, "Server is unavailable"...

    Blue Iris full screen issues camera no longer enlarges on double click

    I'm having this issue too, last month or so. Double-clicking a camera does nothing. I've tried reverting back several months to old Blue Iris versions, but the problem actually gets worse (the August Blue Iris version now "fails to load camera list"). Additionally, none of my alerts /...

    Export a Clip to Avi format

    Nope, just looked at it again. "Convert/Export" (as well as "FTP Backup") are grayed out when right-clicking a clip from the Clips list. Selecting a clip to view it (full screen) enables the "Convert/Export" option. Yes, the OP was talking about trimming a clip, but the key was...

    Export a Clip to Avi format

    Sorry for resurrecting an old post... but this had me confused for about half an hour until I saw this. If you're trying to export a clip, and you right-click on your clip in the list of clips, the option to "Convert / Export" will be grayed out. You need to double-click the clip (to view it)...

    How can I improve my recording-only IP cam setup?

    A smart hub (I use a Samsung Smartthings) can help with this, but there's a steep learning curve to getting it to do exactly what you want it to do. For starters, you'd set up door sensors to detect any exterior door opening, which would then trigger BlueIris to start recording the camera...

    How are you dealing with motion at night with just IR?

    At night time, I recommend turning on "Black & White", turn off "Cancel Shadows", and choose Gaussian algorithm with "High Definition" checked.

    Trigger based on car stopping then continuing

    With a Smartthings hub, you can use the BlueIris Fusion app ([RELEASE] BI Fusion v3.0 - Adds: Blue Iris Device Type Handler, Blue Iris Camera DTH, Motion Sensing) to do what you want. I have a motion sensor that triggers a camera to record in BlueIris. You may need a repeater (perhaps plugged...

    downgrade windows 10 to 7 pro

    I haven't had any serious problems since switching to Win 10. BlueIris works fine. While I can't stand all the Metro crap, the underlying operating system is quite stable and performs incrementally better than Win 7 did. Besides which, Microsoft will shortly stop supporting Win 7 -- two years...

    Blue Iris UI3

    You actually can do this yourself, but it only works as a desktop shortcut icon. Create a browser shortcut icon -- I use Google Chrome -- right-click it, select Properties, and add the following on to the end of your Target path: --start-fullscreen (yourIP):(yourport)/ui3beta/ui3.htm So the...

    Blue Iris and network load...can it measurably slow down my home network?

    It's quite possible you're stressing your network bandwidth. "Gigabit" network speed is a theoretical maximum; slight issues on CAT5 or 6 cable, as well as interference from radiant sources (or crossing powerlines in the wall) can have a big swing on speeds. You can test your actual throughput...

    Remote access no longer working?

    That's a good suggestion -- not the root of my issue, but a good idea moving forward. It ended up being Norton, which blocked all port forwards in a recent patch. Re-installing Norton fixed the issue. Scott

    Remote access no longer working?

    I've had remote access working fine for over a year now. Today it stopped working. Looking at the logs, the only thing I can see that's different from yesterday is my internal IP. I *did* upgrade Blue Iris yesterday, too, so I suspect that's the problem. However, all the parts of the chain...

    Access to BI through smart phone

    Your internet (coax cable) should be plugged into your modem first, and then to your router. If you're plugging in to your router first, then you don't need the modem. Your router has an external IP address, which you can get by going to IP Address, Get my IP, IPv4, IPv6, Internet Protocol in...

    4MP using H.265 codec

    I switched my Dahuas back to h264 and now everything is working fine. I'd much rather use h265 as the files are half the size... but I'll live with it. My CPU usage didn't change noticeably from four cameras running h264/h265 (the h265 encoding is performed camera-side). And as I mentioned...

    4MP using H.265 codec

    I'm having trouble with recording direct-to-disk h265. I recently switched from .mp4 recording -- which was working, but having issues -- to BVR, which is now recording blank h265 video files. My cameras that are streaming h264 are recording fine. I tried converting one of the blank BVR...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Two points: -- Your firmware is almost a year old. There have been multiple updates since; I'd suggest updating. -- To confirm your profile is correct: - Under Camera, Conditions, you set your Night profile / IR light to OFF - Under Camera, Profile Management, Profile management is set to...
