So running V5.7.0.5, and saw something interesting on a camera right clicked it and selected snapshot, but now cannot figure out where that file is.? I looked in settings/storage but don't see a place to enter a location for snapshots.. Anybody know where that might be? It would be the default...

running 5.7.0.5 2-22-23 When In layout mode if I drag a camera from one desktop frame to another it does not move until I adjust the size of the desktop frame then it magically moves to the target frame. Is there a setting I need to change so that it dynamically updates?

I have BI system with numerous HIK cameras working fine. Trying to add new one and don't seem to be able to select main and sub streams in configuration. If I find/inspect and Go with defaults BI can connect to the camera but cannot select Main and sub streams as in attached file new cam.png If...

Hi, I have multiple DS-2CD2042 cameras and now cannot access them with any browser, I get browser not supported. Running 5.5.82_190220_0 3/17/2023 I have a number of DS-2CD2085 as well and I can access those with Edge/opera. I have tried setting Edge in IE mode but no dice, same error. I...

Do any of the HIK (or any other mfgr) PTZ cams have the ability to set up a patrol with presets but if it detects motion/person/auto then flip over to motion tracking until end of motion then go back to patrolling? I did a quick search but didnt see anything.

Hi folks, I have one concern and one question. The concern is that on the BI interface the little graphic that shows the chart on it above the clip previews is showing red, and when I click on it I get a clip storage overview that looks like attached. As you can see Drive E: does not look...

Isn't Overallocated Shortage an Oxymoron? Anyway I have it on drive E: Stored.. Setup is I have 12 cameras, 3 8th storage drives that are identical. 4 cameras point to each drive and each drive deletes after its limit. System has been working fine for some time and nothing has changed. tried...

I have read a couple of the other posts talking about big memory consumption but I don't see any resolution to the problem. The problem for me is BI crashes after between a few hours and a few days. Windows 10 pro does not crash. So my setup is BI 5.5.13 (and other versions do the same thing)...

Building a new dedicated BI box and trying to figure out the difference and if one is better for decoding than the other? not going to be overclocking Also thinking B660 chipset on Gigabyte MB. Anybody have any feelings on this approach? thanks in advance

So I have version 5 installed and the web server was working fine. Then I updated to the latest version (old version was about 1.5 years old) now it's not working. I confirm that the V5 BI app is allowed to run through the firewall. (I also have version 4 installed on this box, not sure if that...

I just updated to the latest BI and it quite different with all the frames and groups etc. I'm also now using sub streams to give my CPU a much-needed break which it has. But now when viewing all cameras it looks like I'm using the sub stream instead of the mainstream and the quality is pretty...

Hello everybody, since I have all my cameras on a separate network (30 subnet) that is not Internet connected I have installed and running the Net Time program on the same machine that I am running blue Iris on, which seems to be functioning. The problem seems to be that my HIK cameras cannot...

Is it possible in BI to have cam 1 get triggered but send pic or clip from cam 2 right after trigger? If so what is procedure? Thanks!

So I have camera A and B. I want BI to send me a pic from camera B when cam A is triggered. right now what happens is I get an email from cam A but no cam B pic is attached.. I put cam B into a group and told BI to attached image from that group in cam A's notification with no joy. (if I tell...

After updating my V5 it now shows as an evaluation version, when I try to register with my license key it comes back and says it's a V4 license (I upgraded to V5). I did not deactivate the license before doing the upgrade, was this a mistake? I am out of support with this license, what is the...

hi everybody, Running V5 and I must have accidentally made some change and now can't figure out where to change it back… previously, if you selected a camera all the clips for that camera only showed in the UI, but not now. It just shows clips for all cameras.. Any idea how I change it back?

I just updated to 5.2.5.5 and now CPU is at 100% 5.2.5.3 was running fine, how do I get that?

I have a system as described below that runs fine so long as no hardware acceleration is used. (CPU runs at 50 to 60% with no hardware decode) If I select Nvidia acceleration, the GPU decode core goes into action, but CPU goes to 100% within a few minutes and system becomes unstable. (and...

looking to get the vast experience of the crowd since I am somewhat of a neophyte. I have a BI system that's been working fine for a number of years and as of two weeks or so ago it started pegging the CPU overnight and staying there until I restarted Bi. I have a lot of Hi-Rez cameras...

There are two options within Windows drive properties for HDD on the general tab at the bottom: What is the best combination for BI clip storage drives? Compress and or index?

I'm not sure I understand what I'm looking at for the storage bar graphs for each drive.. I have BI system where the clip allocation seems to get out of whack After a day or two and starts to show an over allocation error. (The 217.7 GB below) Both screenshots below are from the same system...

I have 2 BI systems both looking at the same cameras, system 1 is rock solid and runs for months on end, system 2 is considerably more finicky, where BI crashes after a short period of time. The period of time seemingly matters which version of BI I am running. (as well as other settings like HW...

Hi everybody, thanks for all the great discussions. I have a BI system with I7-7700 K and I'm constantly having to tweak it to keep the CPU below 100. Does anybody have experience with overclocking their MB system and running BI? Also BTW, I just ordered an I7-8700 K system, to throw more...

If I setup BI with 15 IP cameras and open each in a desktop frame, then close BI and reopen some cams dont come back.. If I try to recreate cam, BI says name must be unique, so it still knows about lost cam but I cant find it.. how do you list all cams BI knows about and select to show missing...
