    Reviving Amcrest IPM-721S - steps?

    I just found an Amcrest IPM 721S that I used to use some years ago. I'd like to revive and use it. I downloaded the latest firmware, manuals, software for the camera. I think I used to use Blue Iris. Is there a better choice between the Amcrest software/app and Blue Iris? Do both or either one...

    Arlo replacement?

    We had an incident so I foolishly went out in a rush and bought the 3-camera Arlo Pro system at Costco without doing any research. We're doing indoor only. I have a copy of Blue Iris from our old house (but left the Foscams behind). I was um, upset when I found that Netgear Arlo couldn't store...

    Lost contact from app to server

    I'm running the latest version of blue iris on my windows 10 laptop, and v2.0.34 of the app on my samsung android phone. It was all working great, until recently. When the camera is tripped, I get the texts from blue iris, so that part is OK. But when I try to use the app, I get "Unable to...

I assume that the blue iris service has to be somehow allowed to save...

    No Audio on .bvr playback?

    I had v3.x and now upgraded to 4.x but same problem - when I double click on a .bvr clip in windows explorer (win 7 64 bit home pro) it plays back in blue iris, but I get no audio. I have the audio settings correct in BI and my speaker on the laptop is on, other audio plays, just not in BI...

    Recording/Alerts Schedule

    I'm confused by the settings for scheduling of motion recording and alerting. I'm using Blue Iris 3.56 on Windows 7 to control a bunch of home Foscam cameras. When we are home during the day and there is lots of 'normal' activity I'd like certain cameras to not record anything. At night when we...
