Now this is helpful information, thank you for this. Please don't get me wrong, Blu Iris is great software, everything was working great, no random reboots, (I know how to setup windows bare bones) all cameras very easy to setup and get working, the remote app worked very well, just once I...

Thank you for that suggestion, I will surely look into that. Actually I may be wrong on this as I haven't explored using BI in a couple years now, bought it in Jan 2021 and once you get past a few cameras it starts to really work that PC hard, now I was playing around with turning all kinds of...

I like reading these somewhat NVR vs BI threads. I have had 3 NVRs in the last 20 years, currently using one of them now, none have failed, they just become out dated and limited as others have stated. What I can't get past is I need a powerhouse PC just to run a few cameras and the NVR with a...

That's how I'm looking at it too, lots of valuable information, and a solid reminder of securing your system, and reading manuals cover to cover... I have to go back and edit some of my rants so that fenderman calms down... HAHA anyhow I knew of some of these problems with cameras, but WOW I...

I deserve this to some level, but you can't read like me, and flew off the handle before reading what I said..... I'm talking about the automatically created anonymous account not the local one, while making the loca_console (that I wanted) the anonymous one gets created automatically that...

I thought the no password selection was for local only, I saw that in a YouTube video that I probably shouldn't have watched, and I do for sure agree this mistake was mine to make... very stupid of me, and I'm glad it wasn't worse. In reality this was the root cause of my problem, and something...

I agree with pretty much everything you said, and I thank you for taking the time. it surely does amaze me at how fast someone got in... they must have the BI anonymous account bookmarked and alerts are sent to them they have another person that just opened up... I know they were in, 100%...

I hit enter too quickly on that last one.... sorry I plan on doing a screen recording of me doing this process of opening my port for remote access to make sure I'm not crazy, and to warn other new users like myself about this software creating a wide open account behind the scenes and not...

go into settings, Web server tab, enable the HTTP web server in the Web server tab and open your outside port, when you click that box it creates the account unknowingly to the user. it is stated in the manual also.. but that is completely stupid that it would do that during the process of...

I edited this post, long story short here, I made a mistake by opening ports for testing, didn't verify what user accounts were active, one was anonymous with no password required, I didn't know it was there and should have looked. I selected some box that allowed no password for local for my...

I went into Program Files\Blue Iris 5\Logs and there is nothing in there. I would really like to see when someone signed on, track IP, device, something... My Alibi NVR keeps a log on all that, doesn't BI keep a log like that? I can't seem to find anything. I have only used the software for a...

I agree, I checked to see if the computer did an update and there haven't been any installed in the history, actually I always check that after a reboot too see what they did now (windows 10 PRO on all machines) and ya know what? I never realized that if you just plant that ip in the address bar...

My main PC was rebooted for no reason, also I found in the log within the router system destination log, it shows Proto NATed Address = icmp "my main PC address" - destination = 144.76.59.84 - STATE = UNREPLIED. I went to what's my ip and typed in the destination and it's somewhere in...

I am using 5 amcrest in house PTZ cameras on wifi, yes same network, and they were added to blue iris, the port was opened and assigned to the SPARE PC that was running the blue iris software. that computer is also on the same network. currently i have the ISP router completely unplugged from...

System hacked, help reading blue iris logs I have big problems and need some big help please! My computer was hacked, 2 or more of 4, but it’s a little more complicated than just that. Here’s the story and time line. 2 weeks ago I installed a demo of Blue iris onto a VM, thought it may be...

I am building a system for myself and found this thread very useful. Currently I have an Alibi NVR and sick of it.

I know this is an old thread, but I am a new user and the information on here helped me restore my camera after a failed attempt at updating the firmware. Thank you
