    New Apple Push root certificate available for continued iOS push notifications

    I emailed BI support for clarification on this. Bryan answered my email: 1. Was this new certificate included in a recent BI update? If so, which version has it included? 2. If a user is running an old version of BI, can they download and install this certificate to continue receiving iOS...

    New Apple Push root certificate available for continued iOS push notifications

    This is the first time I've seen Ken offer an updated Apple Push root certificate for BI as a standalone download: Blue Iris Software | New Apple Push root certificate required This should mean that even if your maintenance has lapsed or you’re using an older version of BI, you can manually...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    Thanks for the heads up. I installed 5.9.9.18 this morning and it is running fine. I don’t run it as a service. Or maybe Ken overwrote the release with a new version?

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    From the 5.9.9.15 help file. I still wouldn't call the layout settings intuitive, but this does offer some additional control.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    My version POE supports a custom NTP server but doesn't appear to have a configurable sync frequency. I set it in the Windows Reolink software.

    IPCT Major software update in works at IPCT

    @Mike , one additional request from the iOS side, please. Are you able to modify the iOS PWA push notification title to remove the redundancy and shorten it to one line? Currently it says, "New alert at IP Cam Talk from IP Cam Talk" but "New alert from IP Cam Talk" would be nicer. Thanks!

    IPCT Major software update in works at IPCT

    Happy to hear about the updates, @Mike . Two small observations from the iOS mobile view: The current logo used for the iOS PWA home screen icon is distorted and should probably just be the circle logo without the text. (By the way, using "Add to Home Screen" on iOS allows for push...

    5.9.8 - September 18, 2024 PTZ auto tracking beta - Direct PTZ positioning

    Does this direct PTZ feature move the camera smoothly? Or does it just periodically send an updated position command as an object moves through the frame? Would love to see a demo video of it working.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Does Unifi Protect only use ONVIF cameras’ main stream? Any concept of/benefit from sub streams? Since it’s not doing any analysis or event detection, then is Protect only decoding the stream when you’re viewing it live?

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    The official Ubiquiti account on Reddit said yesterday, "This is just the start of our ONVIF support road map..." which is pretty vague, but sounds like they have more planned than just this basic implementation. Here's the comment:

    Blue Iris Baby monitoring - Please share the best settings?

    I’ve emailed support several times over the years requesting picture-in-picture support for the BI mobile app. I’d love to pop out the live video in a separate “window” that floats above my other apps. Even though it’s not exactly what you asked about, I think it could be handy for your use...

    Filter Alerts for Specific Cameras or a Group of Cameras

    In April 2023, when I asked Support about the timeline layer order, he said, "The tracks are ordered by their HUE value" and the only way to change it is to change the color.

    How to increase Alert videos length?

    @LTek, out of curiosity, does this "Crop playback to selection" button affect what you’re referring to?

    My BI stoped recording?!

    Useful insight, thanks @bp2008. I often read your criticisms of BI's database but didn't know if there was an obvious solution.

    My BI stoped recording?!

    Do you think that BI is backed into a corner with the current BI database architecture and has no path forward to address these shortcomings? Has it not yet been addressed because it's such a massive undertaking to move to a new database structure, or does the dev not share your opinion that...

    trouble initializing new Empire Tech EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - IP segment, etc.

    I spent months trying to track down the cause of my BI PC shutdowns. For me, it appeared to be thermal related, but it eventually turned out to be something related to the version of CodeProject I had installed. I had been using CodeProject.AI.Server-2.1.9 and updating to...

    Viewing alerts different after upgrading to 5.9.3.4

    Very nice. I also emailed support to request this option be added to the mobile app. That way, when playing back an alert in the mobile app, the full width of the scrub bar would represent only the duration of the alert rather than my entire hour-long clip. It would be more precise and less...

    just installed Nqrok and it fixed my camera issue but how do I get the phone app and uI3 to work ?

    just installed Nqrok and it fixed my camera issue but how do I get the phone app and uI3 to work ?

    Make sure NGROK is actually installed. It used to be included with BI for a few versions but has since been removed. Install it if you haven't already: https://blueirissoftware.com/ngrok.exe Then, on the BI Web Server tab, enter your ngrok address into the WAN address field. It looks like you...

    just installed Nqrok and it fixed my camera issue but how do I get the phone app and uI3 to work ?

    Did you already copy your authtoken and ngrok address from the ngrok webpage into the Blue Iris Settigns > Web server page? Then did you update the WAN address on the BI mobile app to point to the ngrok address? Same with your UI3 URL when outside your LAN.

    just installed Nqrok and it fixed my camera issue but how do I get the phone app and uI3 to work ?

    Did you follow the NGROK instructions on pages 207-208 of the Blue Iris help file? It lists the steps to set it up correctly.

    Are surveillance microphones a thing?

    I use several of these (https://a.co/d/aIo1pqt ) next to my exterior cameras and they sound much better than my camera’s built in microphones. It’s easy to make out conversations with the external microphone, but nearly impossible with the built in ones.

    @bp2008 The first solution appears to fix the problem! I also tested the four other items you mentioned and all still function correctly.
