Thanks! The clear counters worked--I looked everywhere but right-click, duh :facepalm: I can check that off my list of conundrums, on to the next!

Hi bp, I'm getting a large number for my Alert status counter (944) with nothing in the Alerts list, but only for a User-level BI login. If I login as an Admin, the the counter is correct (no alerts). I'm particularly interested because my Alerts aren't working at all right now (after...

If it helps anyone else, it looks like my Windows Update was incomplete because I had blocked the Intel driver updates through the Group Policy Editor (as detailed here). Guess Windows ignored the group policy enough to delete my drivers but then couldn't restore them. I had to disable the...

I really appreciate this information, it saved me some debugging time. Another problem I seem to have: the Intel Display Adapter was completely removed (I had it set to block the Intel updates), and my Display was set to the generic windows default, so when I access via Teamviewer, I get a very...

Just wanted to update this topic in case anyone else runs into the problem. After I worked on this problem with the developer, he modified the code to release the database a little earlier before doing the Compact operation (starting with Blue Iris version 4.7.2) , and I've now been running for...

Well, I spoke too soon. I just got the error again at the two-week mark. I updated the BI software on 2/27 and rebooted the computer, and haven’t accessed it since, other than to log in with Teamviewer to check my cameras after the daylight savings time switch. I haven’t opened the BI GUI on...

Last week, I finally upgraded BI to 4.6.9.5, and also updated our iOS apps, and now haven’t had the error for just over a week. I still need to try a couple of things to see if I can trigger it, but it’s looking good. I’ve been communicating with the developer, and he thinks there may be...

An update: Since I can't manually reproduce this problem, I have to wait for the automatic database compaction to execute to try things out. Over the past two days I've discovered: 1. Having Blue Iris open and watching it during the compaction will still generate a "DBCompact could not obtain...

I forgot to mention that I can manually compact the database without error. I've just changed the compact time to happen when I'll actually be awake tonight so I can log in to the PC and see if there's anything obvious going on.

***Note: this has been solved, see my entry further down in this thread. I have been getting a recurring DBCompact error in my alert emails for months now. Everything seems to be working fine with Blue Iris otherwise. I'd welcome any troubleshooting ideas to help me narrow this down, because...

Oh fer crissakes, I was reading another thread (cpu utilization of BI process rises up to 100%) and the lightbulb went off. Sure enough, my Intel driver was stealth-updated recently, which is probably what caused my aforementioned signal-loss problem (runaway cpu utilization), NOT the 4.6.6...

I only installed 4.6.6.1 today, so I can't really say. I'll report back if I have any problems. I don't know that BI losing signal this morning was due to the 4.6.6(.0) update, but I have been running BI since last September and this is the first time it happened. I've generally been...

I updated to 4.6.6 a couple of days ago. This morning BI suddenly lost signal to all 6 cameras. I was able to access the cameras directly, so it wasn't my wiring or POE switch. BI froze when I tried to restart it, but after I got it back up again the camera signals were restored. I see that...

A couple of days ago I updated to V 4.6.5.2, and also rebooted the PC. Haven't had the DBCompact message for the last couple of nights, so either the reboot or the update seems to have fixed it for me.

I spoke too soon. After a couple nights not getting the message, I’ve now been getting the error message at 3:30 am for the last 3 nights. I’m going to tweak a few other things and see if it helps.

fwiw, I was getting the DBCompact error also, and changing "Compact/Repair DB each day at" to 3:30am seems to have stopped it. I figure it might have been conflicting with something else happening at 2am (BI does take periodic JPEG snapshots on my system). I was getting the message on the same...

This thread helped me too, thanks! I was aware of the memory leak issue, but didn’t have any problems when I only had 2 cameras (Dahua Starlight). As soon as I added 3 more cameras, the cpu spiked. Rolling back the Intel driver per the above instuctions brought me back down to 15%. Actually...

Thank you fenderman!! I've been trying for days to figure this out. It seems obvious in retrospect, but I just couldn't get my head around it.

I see elsewhere on the forum where zip ties have been used too. From @looney2ns photo above, it looks like computer screws into the side mount points, maybe I can dig some up somewhere...

On the Optiplex 3040 SFF, How are people attaching their HDDs to the 3.5" enclosure--with screws? I just realized my Purple drive didn't come with any.
