    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    @TonyR : It worked up until about 4 days ago. I have made no changes. Weather does not change in the txt files, so it is always the same in camera view. Regardless of what Station ID I put in, I get "Error Connecting to wunderground. Check your internet connection / station ID." **...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I can't get any weather station ID to work in BI Tools. All of them work fine on the Weather Underground web site. Anyone else having that issue? Any ideas on how to fix?

    Challenging Network Issue - Cameras going offline randomly

    kd5mdk - I recently replaced the POE switch in the basement. The problem still occurs, but it does not "seem" to be as frequent. From what I've read, the latest Google Wifi firmware is garbage and Google doesn't care. The other day, both my laptop and my wife's went offline for about a minute...

    Viewing live video from the same cameras on different computers simultaneously

    Yes, I pretty much have 4 Tablets viewing the same camera simultaneously 24/7. Weird, I know.

    Challenging Network Issue - Cameras going offline randomly

    Swampledge - Yes, I only have one DCHP server on my network and each camera has a static IP. Nothing has changed in my network in years, so I'm leaning more towards an equipment issue or other external factor.

    Challenging Network Issue - Cameras going offline randomly

    TonyR and looney2ns - I didn't think of that, so I'll look into it. It's just odd that is it not always the same cameras. The basement is normally not too hot or cold, but I guess the temperature does vary. Humidity doesn't seem to be an issue either. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Challenging Network Issue - Cameras going offline randomly

    Well, I looked but could not find any logs in either the web interface or the Easy Smart App for the TL-SG108PE switch. I may end up purchasing a new POE switch anyway, as this is an old V2 switch and doesn't have all the features of the latest V5 switch, such as self healing auto restart of...

    Challenging Network Issue - Cameras going offline randomly

    I have 12 IP cameras and have had no issues for over 5 years with my current network configuration. In the last two weeks, several of my cameras will go offline briefly (for several seconds, as shown by "NO SIGNAL" in Blue Iris) at random intervals. Sometimes it will be 9 cameras, other times...

    Watchdog Alerts not working

    Thanks to BI Support, I got it fixed. I set the Trigger source to "Extern" in the Action Set Push Notification and now it works. I also made sure the number of timeouts to fire alerts was less than the number to restart or reboot the camera. I don't know if that had an impact, but I wasn't...

    Andriod Push Notifications

    I have the same issue. I just have to go to the camera that the alert was for and click the lightning bolt icon. Would be great if that extra few steps wasn't required. You might reach out to Blue Iris support.

    Watchdog Alerts not working

    Like I said, I have motion push alerts set on another camera and it works fine. Just having issues with watchdog alerts specifically.

    Yes I did. Didn't help. I reached out to BI support so hopefully they can assist.

    Watchdog Alerts not working

    I have one camera that I've been having issues with "No Signal". So, I wanted to set up a Watchdog Alert push notification when that happens. However, I can't get it to work. I do have Motion Alert push notifications working fine on another camera, but can't seem to figure out the Watchdog...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    I did contact BI support and had some back and forth with them on the new App version. I did suggest putting the old App version on the Google Play Store, and they thought that was a good idea. However, there was some reasons (which I don't know) why they couldn't. Therefore, I had to...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    Someone posted a link to the old APK in an earlier post on this thread. It took me a while to get in installed as I kept getting "App Not Installed". Just google that error and there are tips on how to resolve. I ended up uninstalling the latest version and then installing the old APK. Works...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    I ended up downgrading the app on my Tablet due to issues I was experiencing. I simply use that Tablet as a viewer, so the old version was perfectly fine for that purpose.

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    Auto updated on my Galaxy Note 10 + and it works fine. I do not like the new interface, especially on tablets. My Galaxy Tab A kept crashing and I reported to BI Support. They have been very communicative. The latest version does not crash on my Tablet, but it is herky jerky when compared to...

    Alerts not sent, but clip shows trigger

    I’ve just started trying to send out push alerts when motion is detected on one of my cameras. I’ve configured everything based on instructions and research I’ve done on Google and IP Cam Talk. It seems that some alerts are sent, others are not. I noticed last night an obvious motion...

    Powerline adapter with POE?

    Way back when I had the Logitech Alert Camera system. I've long since ditched the Alert Cameras and replaced them with Hikvision cubes, but have kept many of their PLA/POE adapters and they have worked fine for years. However, those adapters are no longer made, so I would have to replace with...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks David. I'm hoping that someone with Google WiFi can confirm definitively that it will work before I make a purchase.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Can someone confirm whether these doorbell cams work with Google Wifi? I've heard there may be issues with some doorbell cams connecting to routers that have combined 2.4/5GHz so wanted to confirm prior to purchase. I've searched on this thread but couldn't find solid confirmation. Also, any...

    Blue Iris Android mobile app update

    HackAzz, try changing the LAN and WAN Encoder profiles in the App Settings. Perhaps trying a lower bit rate might help. I know on some of my older tablets I use CBR 256 kbps, but on my Note 8 I use CBR 768 kbps.

    That worked, Steven. Thanks a lot. I've purchased it already from Google Play store, I'm not going to purchase it again from Amazon.

    Latest BI update 15 October 2019

    When I install the new update, it now says "Blue Iris Evaluation Version" on every screen. Wonderful. Version 5.0.4.6. Also, latest Android App crashes on two of my tablets, version 2.0.66. I normally don't update the Windows Application until it's fully vetted. I only did it this time...

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    I just set up Monocle and thinks it's a great solution to get camera feeds on my Echo Spot (even if the screen is puny). However, the icon with the four arrows on the screen (zoom button) takes up too much real estate. Any way to turn that off? Just tapping on the screen without an icon to...

    Blue Iris Andriod App - Black screens

    Well, in this case, I don't see how letting them access my camera system will help. The problem is with the Android app, not the desktop application. First, I'm not home to give them access. Second, as I stated in my first reply on this post, the app works fine on several of my devices...
