How do I clear a user lockout after too many login attempts? I thought changing the password would do it, but it doesn't. Shirley there's a way to reset user lockout without waiting an hour?

I like the features and price of this outdoor dome POE cam. The separate telephoto lens sounds like a great idea. It would be nice to have the two lenses appear as two different cams so I could use different PTZ and access settings for each. But I've seen posts from late 2022 complaining about...

I have a handful of webcams running under BI on a suitable Windows pc. Security wasn't much of a concern because I live in a very rural area with no neighbors within wifi range, and my internet connection was very weak. I didn't feel like an inviting target. Now I have a very modest but workable...

I'm planning to install my first outdoor webcam, and wondering if there's a way to run one POE line to the location and use it to connect and power both a webcam and a Wi-Fi access point. I assume there's not enough juice for both within the standard, or I'd be able to find one on Amazon. Is...

I have a small dilemma with my small case (Milo 11). I have to either use a shorter cooler on my processor, or switch from a 3.5" HDD to a 2.5" HDD. I was going to use a WD Purple 4TB. I really only need 2TB. Should I choose a slightly less efficient cooler for my i5-12400? or should I switch...

I'm replacing an old HP system that barely runs Blue Iris version 4, with a new build to support Blue Iris version 5 service and run the console. I'm a novice builder and would appreciate any constructive criticism or suggestions to improve performance or save money. I don't plan to use AI. I've...

I'm building a new pc to be my Blue Iris server and to run the console. My current quandary is whether to move to DDR5 or stick with DDR4. My case needs to be slim, and that limits my motherboard selection. DDR5 Micro-ATX motherboards are hard to find. I'm only going to run 5-7 webcams, and I...

Can you believe I'm still running BI version 4? My computer hardware can barely carry it, so I've put off upgrading until now. Some of my new webcams have to be throttled down to low resolution to keep the old system from crashing, and that pushed me over the line. I plan to avoid upgrading and...

I'm on BI v4.8.4.7 with UI3 v65. I'd like to set up a laptop, separate from my BI server, to display some of my webcams full screen in rotation. I haven't been able to find a way to do it with the standard web interface. Does anyone know a way to do this? I'd like to use the streams from my...

I bought a refurbished unit from Amcrest Direct. Couldn't get the Search Tool to install until I logged in as Admin. An error message would have been helpful there... I run the tool, get the address, and put it in Chrome, and I get the dialog "Please click here to download and install the...

I'm a cheap old retired guy. I don't have a lot of cash to spend on my webcams. I used HooToos for years until they wore out, then switched to Foscam and wore a couple of those out. So I had a little faith in Foscam when I ordered the R2, but it's been a time wasting failure. It works, except...

System was working fine before HD failure. Installed new drive and same OS as before - Windows 10. No changes to network or router since it was working. Port forwarding still configured in router as before. Exception for executable set up in firewall and anti-virus. I can access locally using...

I'm running BI on Windows 10. I lost a hard drive and had to reinstall OS from scratch. I did a fresh install of the newest version v4.8.4.7 x64. I was running an older iteration of v4 when the drive failed. Now I'm trying to import settings from an older sub-version of BI 4, but I get the error...
