I was able to set Windows to let me log in with my MS account pw once I disabled this Windows Hello sign-in setting and rebooted. BI running as a service again! Thank you for the help!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I did end up setting up a system pw, and that worked fine until yesterday. I had decided to add my Microsoft account login to the pc, which uses a pin instead of my pw. Still no issue, until I rebooted yesterday after a Windows update. Now 'run as service' is...

I'm new at Codeproject as well, so hoping someone with more experience will comment. Mine has been working well, with the settings shown in my image. You could try it with those settings, and then gradually change things back to what you wanted, watching to see what stops it from working. I'm...

Show us a screenshot of your AI settings. Here's what one of mine looks like.

Ok, so how can I set it to run as a service? Will I be required to set a Windows pw?

Trying to enable 'run as service'. I do not have a pw set to log into my pc. If I leave the field blank, it doesn't work.

Is it normal to go 24 hours without a response to an email to support? I miss my BI!

I did write them right away, with my license key. Will see how responsive they are. No, didn't purchase the extension yet. Edit: Could I just purchase here without waiting to hear from support? Home - Blue Iris Software

I turned off 'run as service' on the old install in preparation to do the upgrade. Now I get the error pictured, and can't even run it in demo because it says I have zero days remaining on the demo.

Thank you. I will purchase the upgrade key on the old laptop. Hoping the cpu can handle it. It has been running 80-100% on v4. Then I install v5 on the new refurb, and have to reinstall all 9 cameras? The backup likely won't work?

I was installing it on the new refurb from the dvd I purchased a few years ago. Then it asked if I wanted to install the v4 update. I said yes, but never saw it update. Then I tried importing my settings from the old laptop, and bi wasn't happy. Wouldn't run.

So that's $35 or $40. Does the software continue to work after 1 year? And I do have a valid v4 license, but can't get it installed with that license. Are these options still available with that limitation? Edit: Actually, v4 is still running fine on the old laptop. So I should be able to...

I'm finally going to upgrade to bi 5. Have been running v4 for a few years. I see ebay sellers listing it for around $55. Is this for a valid license? Why is it listed for sale on here for $62? Does a v5 license only last for 1 year, or is it just support that expires? I'm doing the upgrade...

If you can afford the extra $$, I would agree to go with the Netgear. I have only been running the Moker for a couple weeks. I chose to go budget for my setup. That may end up costing me in the long run. We'll see.

All of your 8 cameras will be poe? As of today, I have only powered one poe camera with the Moker switch. It does have 8 poe ports listed at 30w, but also says 120w total poe power budget. I'll assume that's the max poe power it can supply. Maybe someone more knowledgeable in poe can comment on...

Either of those devices will supply power to a poe camera. The Moker device will supply power to multiple poe cameras.

This is what I added when I installed the doorbell a couple weeks ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQHHR32M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 This is what I've been using for the 823a since last summer. Will eventually add the 823a to the Moker...

If you have trouble getting the Reolink cameras to play consistently in Blue Iris, write to Reolink support and tell them they are not working right in BI. They will likely send you a special firmware for the camera. I have 2 reolink cameras that kept freezing in BI. With the updated firmware...

Not too worried about that as long as I keep my settings backed up for easy migration to the next refurb. This cheap Acer has worked surprisingly well. Very quiet too!

Not seeing any comments on using a laptop for BI. I'd prefer a laptop so I don't have to switch my monitor back and forth. Any advice here? Currently using an Acer laptop with ssd and external usb hard drive, but the CPU can barely handle my 9 cameras. It's an Intel i3 7100u 2.4ghz.

Thank you. I did just order one that is 802.3at. The camera manual might be wrong:

Thank you everyone for your help! I ended up ordering this camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095H2BBWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I ordered this poe injector, but am thinking I may have picked the wrong one. This sentence in the manual concerns me: For other...

And it would work with standard Cat5e to my switch and to the camera?

And an injector would supply the proper power for most/all IP cameras?

Thank you Mat200. I guess I would also consider a poe camera. Would have to figure out how much added cost there would be for poe equipment, since I have never dabbled with it.

FInally decided to replace a troublesome Dericam PTZ outdoor dome camera. I have an ethernet cable and 120v outlet at this location. Do not want poe and do not need wifi. We love all 3 features: pan, tilt, zoom. We hate the dome, due to the IR reflecting from inside the dome, as well as having...

Loving this, but still concerned about security. Changed my port to a 4 digit number a few days ago. Received an alert on my Google account today.

My camera server works fine, but my Windows pc I use to view my cameras freezes about twice a week. This is a hard freeze, where kb and mouse will not work, so I have to press the reset button. Have tried viewing with both Firefox and Chrome, but it freezes in both. I usually see the error in...

Have read over responses for several pages. I applaud the programming guy for finding a fix! I will make a donation for this excellent software. The weather overlay on my BI cameras used to display C and F temps. Now only displays F. Is there something I need to adjust?

Running on an Acer laptop with an Intel i3-7100u. 2.4ghz. I have been running 5 cameras for quite awhile with no issues, but cpu started maxing out when I installed a 6th. Guess I will just stick to 5 cameras until I can afford to upgrade my pc. Running 4 Dericams and an old Trendnet. The new...
