This should be extremely simple. I finally upgraded to BI5 from BI4. I noticed in the live shots of my cameras, while I can still zoom in, I can't move the view around so that I can see a zoomed-in object. If there's, say, a vehicle in the upper right-hand portion of the screen at 100% view...

I have seven cameras that send video clips to the default array of folders with more or less the default storage, retention and deletion parameters: G/Blue Iris/Alerts G/Blue Iris/Clips G/Blue Iris/New G/Blue Iris/Stored However, I've also added another folder from which I've copied certain...

I'm seriously considering purchasing the above intriguing camera (I have 7 Amcrest cams presently). Hikvision sells it in 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm lenses but I cannot find it anywhere in the desired 2.8mm lens, only a 4mm lens. Would anybody know if it's available in the 2.8mm? I'm happy to call...

I have many Amcrest cameras but keep hearing Hikvision cams have better night vision. Curiosity peaked, I found an article on the web that compared the two companies, and comparable cameras: 1. Hikvision's Hikvision DS-2CD2085G1-I and 2. Amcrest's IP8M-2496EB. (ultimately, they gave the...

If one of my cameras showed and triggered recordings in, say, a 50-foot corridor area, where the first 20 feet shows MY property, then the last 30 feet beyond shows the sidewalk and street, could I set up Blue Iris to give me an alert for motion that occurs in that first 20 feet of my property...

I'm not getting my SMS text messages as I always have on my iPhone 11. An old post I found with a similar problem (w/their iPad) was fixed after someone followed another's suggestion of going to the "Mobile Devices" tab in BI and deleting or removing it their iPad; then evidently putting it...

Is there some common or typical reason why, when they were working fine before, SMS/text alerts of motion on my cameras has suddenly stopped working? I'm using my Gmail account as my email server (I prefer and tried before with my Yahoo account, but that never worked while Gmail always worked)...

- I have two Amcrest WiFi bullet cameras installed outside my house. They're great generally, but once in a while they experience (surprise) WiFi dropouts. - While they are not POE cameras per se (they are separately powered), both have Ethernet cable/ports and can transmit signals via...

I'm still learning about cams and BI so this will be a very easy question for somebody. Here's the setup and question: I currently own and use five WiFi cams inside and outside my home -- I've never owned a POE cam. I'm about to add three POE cams to my setup. I've purchased a simple 5-port...

I'm about to purchase and add my sixth camera to BI. My five current cams are all WiFi, but this would be my first POE camera. I plan on connecting it from a POE switch attached to the single Ethernet port available on one of my three TP-Link Deco M4 mesh modules. [See pic below.] The module...

I have five BI-monitored cameras inside and outside my home. However, I only have one set to trigger on motion to record 24/7; the other four I only set when I'm away. When I DO go away (on vacation or even leaving the house for several hours), I'll then individually check the "motion sensor"...

Yesterday I installed the latest of my 5 cameras. It's a bullet cam which points to a small-in-width vulnerable area outside my back-of-house bedroom windows. This morning, I endeavored to test BI's (V4) ability to trigger/record from this camera: I stuck a common household broom out the...

I purchased BI for $60 in June as normal and have used it successfully since. When I first obtained my registration number or key, even after I'd input the number, a few days later it would revert back to an evaluation program only. Beyond that and for the last few months all has been fine...

I've been running Blue Iris since mid-June. Around July 25th Xfinity sent me a notice that I was perilously close to reaching their 1TB (1,000GB) data limit. In the preceding several months I was using only a third of that (300GB or so). I turned off Blue Iris and squeaked by under the July...

Would anybody know of any decent moderately-priced outdoor cameras (or line/brand of cameras) that are solar powered which I could fold into my Blue Iris software? I ask because I want to replace my current outdoor Arlo cameras that are battery-operated (and can't be used with BI), and I don't...

I'm brand new to Blue Iris and am using it with am Amcrest 841B camera. The camera and software all seem to work fine; I have a picture and the combo records. However, I THOUGHT I made a schedule so that it records only during my M-F 9-5 working hours there in my living room. But I just...
