I just upgraded from BI v4 to v5 and I can't turn off the camera labels in UI3 like I could before. I went into the UI3 settings and it shows that the camera labels are turned off, but the labels are still showing. I even tried turning the labels on, closing, restarting my web browser, and...

I've been trying to setup hardware acceleration on a new computer for Blue Iris and over 24 hours, the CPU utilization reaches 100% and the system locks up. The driver listed in the Device Manager on my system for the UHD Graphics 630 is 30.0.101.1191 from 12/3/2021 (this is running on a 9th...

I have two v4 blue iris installations and I recently upgraded the "less critical" one to v5 following all the directions to export my v4 settings first, and so forth. Unfortunately I still had a number of problems upgrading including losing my cameras and settings. After numerous attempts and...

Greetings, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to trigger only adjacent cameras. I'm familiar with the ability to trigger groups, but what about individual cameras? Here is the setup. Assume the property is a rectangular house with 3 cameras on each side (12 total) covering the left...

I am trying to setup/initialize a new EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE 4MP IR Vari-Focal Turret camera (from @EMPIRETECANDY) using the ConfigTool.exe software but I'm running into a problem. The network that the camera is on has been configured with a gateway (router) address of 192.168.10.1 and I am...

I purchased a Hikvision 4MP cube camera from Amazon this year and from the web interface it shows to be a DS-2CD2443G0-IW model but I can't find any firmware anywhere that shows it will work with this model. It's currently running version V5.5.80 build 180911 of firmware. I've loaded the...

I am trying to remove the IP cameras from a Hikvision NVR (model DS-7608NI-E2/8P) so that they can be used in a new Blue Iris system. The problem is, when I remove the cameras and try to connect them to a PoE switch, they still maintain, their 192.168.254.X IP address. I have tried to use...

Under Camera Properties > Video > Configure > Network Options 1) What is the ideal "Receive Buffer" to use with Hikvision 3MP and 4MP cameras and what are the pros and cons of setting it too low or too high? 2) I've looked through a number of threads which seem to indicate that 20 MB is what...

I have 3 of 16 cameras that are saving the BVR files to the wrong folder. I've tried going in and changing them to a different folder, saving, and then coming back in to the camera properties and changing the saved folder back to what it should be and it still saves to the NEW folder location...

I duplicated a camera in BI to create a "package delivery alert" and set up only two zones (A & B) and then set it to trigger when the object crosses from A>B but it isn't working at all. I have both zones touching each other but not overlapping. I've checked all the settings a half a dozen...

Is it possible to play back multiple clips at the same time? When I have an event that is captured by several cameras, I find myself reviewing each camera separately but I would like to view them simultaneously to compare. I opened the camera group that got triggered and captured video, but I...

two questions: If I have BI set to capture a JPEG every X seconds, is that JPEG better, worse, or the same in quality as if I were to take a screen capture of from a video playing at full resolution (1920x1080 with Hikvision)? In addition to that question, the same question goes for the alert...

I have a DS-2CD2032-I running firmware V5.2.0 build 140721. I use the camera for a weather cam and to make a timelapse of the sunset. I cannot figure out the settings to make it so that when the light gets low and the sun is just below the horizon, that it still stays in color and doesn't...

I'm trying to understand how the stream from an IP camera (ie Hikvision) is used or overused if more than one software application tries to access the stream for recording. Hypothetically, let's say I have Blue Iris running on a dedicated PC and then I set up another identical PC with Blue Iris...

Is there a way to post or email someone a direct URL link to a saved video clip either through bp2008's great UI2 interface or through the Blue Iris web interface so that it plays when the link is clicked?

I'm new to Blue Iris and I've been trying to learn how to use it with the help of the members in this forum. I have a weather camera that I want to set so that it captures the sunset each night. Ideally, I would have some way of setting up a schedule that would "know" the daily changing sunset...

Hello all... I recently purchased some Hikvision 3MP IP cams for both security and some weather cams and I'm using Blue Iris to control most everything. I just wanted to say hello and thank you in advance for the questions I'll probably have trying to learn how to use Blue Iris. I am a bit...

I currently have Blue Iris v4.0.4.3 x64 and I have all the video clips and the database saved to the C drive (default settings). I would like to partition the single hard drive in the computer and then move the clip storage to the second partition. The reason that I want to do this is that I...
