Winner winner, chicken dinner! Thanks for your help!

Maybe???? I renamed the file to *.reg.old and it still threw an error. I moved the file out of that directory. I'm guessing BI goes through that log directory every day, looking for anything older than what we set as the retention limit. Since it can't open that, or the contents aren't the...

I changed my config to no longer use the NAS, but still got the error last night.

Are you writing BI files to a NAS? I ask because I am, and my NAS is complaining about a drive throwing errors. Can't help wondering if they're related.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting almost the exact same error: "Log: Encountered unexpected file [camera name.log stopping" and this error is happening at midnight as well.

I know this "apples and oranges" but, via Wireshark some years ago, I caught a Wi-Fi outlet sending my SSID and password to the Internet. I now have my (soon-to-be-replaced) webcams on a subnet that cannot access the Internet.

Maybe I need to be fitted for an an aluminum foil hat, but I just can't move myself to buy Dahua or Hikvision, no matter how superlative they may be. What Axis cameras are y'all using?

"Chinese companies have CCP representation within the companies .. and do expect all companies in China to have to follow Chinese Law .. and that imho includes related espionage" Yes,sir-ee Bob! Ever since I Wireshark'd a cheap Walmart Wi-Fi switch sending my SSID and password out to some...

Chinese surveillance technology giant Hikvision has denied it is illegally disguising its products sold to the US government to enable Chinese espionage. It was responding to BBC queries about allegations revealed in a recently leaked Pentagon document. But Hikvision did not answer questions...

Oddly, this only just started happening. But I've also seen discussions here and on other forums that updates to BI seem to have broken notifications for lots of people. When I tried testing alerts from the application on my BI server, it crashed the GUI. Even though I have it check for and...

Thanks for the suggestion, Nanook! I didn't realize the test button was now the lightning bolt (it used to be in the window where you selected the audio alert). When I did that, I got the helpful feedback that the alert I'm troubleshooting spanned another profile - once I un-selected the...

I believe my notifications issue did, in fact, coincide with an update. I don't think (but can't be sure) it was the "big" update to Android 10, but one of the subsequent ones.

My phone stopped getting push notifications sometime in the past few weeks. It's a T-Mobile Galaxy S9 and I cannot think of any tweaks or changes I would have made to disable notifications from the official Blue Iris app. My first troubleshooting was to uninstall/reinstall it, and then verify I...

@gfaulk09 - I just added a Synology NAS to my network and was having issue with BlueIris falsely alerting a lack of space. The "Do not check disk space" checkbox bought me some relief until I could check a few things. For example, from the BI Help file (below) I verified the account running the...

I use stream 0 and 1 for each of the cameras for which I wish to receive alerts, so I record all motion via stream 0, and use stream 1 with masks, etc. for alerting. I could have gone back and replayed footage of day-after-day, but it wasn't worth the time. I emailed BI support, and Ken...

Oh yes - as many things Blue Iris does, it'd be child's play I'm sure. I just wanted to exhaust my resources before emailing!

I'm usually at work whenever my lawn guy does my yard, so when I see from the alerts that it's him, I'll pause my cameras for, say, an hour. He's not coming as often as he's supposed to, so before I talked to him, I thought I'd be able to just look in the Blue Iris"YYYYMM.txt" log files and get...

The Foscams (I don't wanna hear it, heh) already do this.

In Windows, you can manually assign your NIC multiple IP addresses. Windows - Add secondary IP addresses to interface - SomoIT.net Edit: In Blue Iris, make sure the "Listen/bind to one selected LAN IP only" is unchecked, and use 127.0.0.1 as the IP address in "Local, internal (LAN) access"...

Yes, I know Foscam's are horrid. I'm donating my time to a charity, and the new director knows to go Dahua/Hikvision when these die. There are a couple of cameras whose footage would benefit from having BlueIris adjust the brightness/contrast via one of the profiles, but I'm not even able...

I'm guessing you've moved on from that above scenario, but for others that come behind, there's a chance the TCP port changed. A "TCP port" is like a employee's extension when you call an office's main number. In the event that might be the case, here's a free port scanner that I have downloaded...

@captain_jim1 - I'm looking to help my friends use their BI system (that I installed) for baby-monitoring duty. My idea was to find some old iPad Minis off eBay to use as monitors. What sort of stuff are you using, or contemplate using?

I've had fantastic luck with OneDrive! I keep the "New" clips folder trimmed (via BI's "Limit size" option) to 20GB and then having BI move them to the configured "Stored" location. I did this because I don't enable alerting on all of my outdoor cameras, so in case I was a victim of a...

I use Lastpass to login to that IP (home LAN) and it autofilled the credentials that usually lets me see all the cameras in BI's native webpage. I'm only getting two. I've gone through all the cameras (Properties > Video > Configure) and verified the same un/pwd are configured for all of them...

I found this, maybe informative, post - while reading it, it occurred to me you might need to double the number of cameras wherever arc welders are being used. One camera kitted-out with filters, and another for all the other time an arc is not present. Not at all easy-to-sell, but... ...

"A horse trotting or cantering is going to average 10 or 14 mph. At 10mph that's ~14.5 feet per second.." I was wondering how HORSES came to be used as an example (and I remember frame rate played a part in how they first discovered how all of a horse's feet came off the ground in a gallop!)...

@anijet - is your dawn/dusk profile still working? I'm baffled by the "relative to sunrise.." settings in the profiles as one would logically then see just a +/- window, instead of a hh:mm am/pm selection we now get (BI v4.1.1.5)

Last-state-remembered is what I was guessing.. after I smacked myself in the forehead :-)

I'm a doofus! Somehow the "Traffic Signal" got set to 'red'. Once I set it to 'green' everything's working as usual. As a FYI, my setting in the Startup tab of Options is not set to start 'red', so I don't know why the repeated restarts of the application did not set it back to 'green'

My system that had been working beautifully for months stopped triggering/alerting me. I've made no changes to cameras or software. I did update Blue Iris as part of the troubleshooting; I'm now on ver 4.0.1.14 (64-bit) Anyone else experience this sort of thing?
