    Corrupted motion videos in alerts and stored folders

    Problem still there. Something else is doing this. I wonder if I should roll back some of the Blueirissoftware versions to test out to say around October 2017. Could it have anything to do with memory leaks?? I don’t however see any other members mentioning this kind of corruption. Sent from...

    Corrupted motion videos in alerts and stored folders

    Thanks, I will watch for the next few days. Changed all my cams directly to 15 both iframe interval and fps. In BI, i noticed I have maximum frame rate at 20 fps. Should I leave it there for now? Strange that i didnt have these issues for the first 6-8 months.

    CPU Usage Issues

    I would second that. I had the same experience of running the direct to disc fine with demo version. I was hitting about 15% CPU before and after I moved from demo to paid version. So I suspect it does work with evaluations recently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you for taking the time clarifying my questions. Yes, my BI app has my home BI server computers IP listed as both LAN and WAN. The only time i can connect when I am outside my home network is when i toggle on my VPN client on my iphone which is secured with an userid and password. I do...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    @Mike A. Hi mike or anyone else, Can you confirm with the current method I have of not checking the "Direct clients to redirect Internet traffic" on my Asus openVPN server, am I still protected when I check my cams using BI app on my mobile device (iphone/ipad)? I am trying to understand with...

    What will I need to set up an app with BI

    Forgot to add that I did try that for the BI pc using windows network setup and while the PC became static, I had some intermittent network/ internet access. May be it has something to do with the way I left DNS or gateway dynamic etc. In any case In my older tomato USB on asus rt-n 16 router, I...

    What will I need to set up an app with BI

    Second that. Very easy to setup VPN. FYI I had some initial issues with my client pcs losing their previously static IP addresses. Asus called some of my Clients from my previous router setup as initially static which I was good with . Any additional clients could only be assigned as 'manual'...

    Thank you. I probably have to read up somewhere to better understand how with the current setting the von protects my communication with my home network but not when I surf. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks for the write up!! I can't believe it was so easy to setup on the asus ac66 using the open vpn server on Merlin software. Also setup on my iPhone the openvpn client and now I can remotely see my BI cams. I do have a related question that I wonder if someone can clarify. When I connect...

    Installed ios BI 1.57. Cant connect to cameras from home

    SOLVED!! Just as I was scratching my head, a message popped up on Bi offering an update. 4.5.8.3. Right after installing it, checked my ios app and its logging in now :) So there was probably a bug. BTW, i sent the developer a message a little before I posted on the forum. Coincidental or not!!

    Installed ios BI 1.57. Cant connect to cameras from home

    Hi, I recently installed the BI server (paid version) on a dedicated pc and it seems to be running fine (well ignoring the excessive alerts but thats a different story). Yesterday i downloaded the paid ios app which is currently version 1.57. To setup a 'new server', i hit connect, then input...

    BI general Help

    @Mike.in.Minnesota Thanks for suggestions. Yes the alerts are quite frankly frustrating. Most of my false alarms are shadows, and changing sun patterns. In fact in one of the front walk cams, a person walking is not caught but the tree shadow is!! Yes the learning curve does seem steep. I...

    Aah vacation is the one time you want it to work well. That sucks. And routers and firewalls are fun stuff!! Over here my door cam is not recording anything on BI ( i have attached a pic of the cam view and zones) . I have to reread the zones part and masking part. The way to mask objects as i...

    BI general Help

    Thank you for helping :-) Il keep playing with the options. I wonder if similar to the amazing write ups on BI hardware recommendations and CPU usage, if there is something hidden in this forum on common presets that members use (similar to waht u suggested). I think that will help newbies to...

    BI general Help

    Thank you. Il try masking a few spots and look for the scene setting you mention above. Unfortunately as motion occurs all over the patio, making it hard to mask it all. Going back to the test run. Do i just play with sensitivity settings and then rerun a recording? If so, should i change it to...

    Dahua + Blue iris general questions

    Thank you!! It worked. Now in the future, do I always need to change passwords using the ONVIF device manager for all 6 cams for BI to read it? I wonder how then the other 5 cams have worked fine all this while given that i did not have this software. May be the installer only used the dahua...

    Dahua + Blue iris general questions

    Thank you. Il work on that when I'm at the computer. As I think back, that camera password was set up on first powering on. I was asked to chose a password. The change in password was however done using the dahua GUI under account. So it sounds like that creates a user account and former an...

    Dahua + Blue iris general questions

    Aah, u did it buddy. Well not the exact word 'admin' as password but I remembered that between the installer and I we set up the cams. I had used a different password on the dahua webui site for one camera and he set up the rest and he later had me change it to the current common one. It looks...

    Dahua + Blue iris general questions

    @aristobrat and @looney2ns I am facing a related issue. I recently had 6 dahua starlights (from andy) installed and added to BI. Hitting the inspect button, none are being recognized as Dahua. Made me initially wonder if this was an issue but it sounds like there are others with the same issue...
