Nice.. so, I purchased BlueIris less than 2 months ago and now I find out that I have to pay again to stay current. Does anyone know if I have any recourse here that doesn't involve me shelling more money to get Version 5?

When I first read this, I thought you were talking about truly bare/exposed copper cable... IE: basically trying to run your network over speaker wire. If you're asking if your network cables should be pure copper as opposed to aluminium (copper coated), then the answer is yes. Any cables...

So, I disabled STunnel and setup nginx. Overall, it was pretty easy to setup, however I can't figure out one thing. Has anyone been able to get TLSv1.3 to work with the Windows version of nginx? It's looking like the openssl version embedded within nginx is out of date and I can't figure out...

By chance, is it possible to secure the BI web server? I'm using STunnel encapsulate its web traffic via HTTPS and have it setup well enough to get an A+ rating via Qualys SSLLabs, however I want to do more. I'd like to do a few more things such as adding some security headers, removing where...

Can you put your device in airplane mode (or just kill wifi), open the app, make the change, and then re-enable everything?

Attached is a pic of my backyard. I'm thinking of attaching a camera to the soffit closest to me and aiming the camera toward the ground near the light. There's a gate there. The light can be aimed/changed as needed. So, the question is, do you think a 4k cam would be able to get a quality...

Wow, you weren't kidding. This thing is so good in low light, that it's not even going into night vision mode. The light from my garage light is enough to keep it in color mode and it looks great. I wish they made a 4k camera with this sensor (and was affordable). I only had 2 incredibly...

About a month... I'm still dipping my toes in the water. My Blue Iris PC is a Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF and my USB enclosure is a Antec MX-1. No special reasons for either; it's simply what I just happened to have laying around. I do plan to upgrade the HDD eventually, however I'm perfectly...

I suppose it may depend on how many cameras you have (throughput issues), but I'm doing exactly that right now with my 4 test cameras without issue. My drive is in a USB enclosure and working fine. Now, I haven't experimented to find out what would happen if that enclosure lost power and Blue...

One tip I'd give people is to use multiple boxes. Instead of buying a single 1000ft box, buy 2 500ft boxes instead so that you can pull 2 strands at the same time (Granted 2 1000' boxes would be even better). Also, insure you pull a 'pull string' with your first run as well. That way, if you...

Yep, that's point I was trying to get across. If I have to choose between buying from a trusted seller via Amazon or via a Chinese site that I've never used before, I'm choosing Amazon. It's my personal preference. Andy happened to be the first to reply, so that's why I purchased the camera...

I wouldn't call it a loss, but rather a difference of priorities. When I talk about 'multiple 3rd parties', I was talking about lots of different things I order, not just cams (which I'm only now dipping my toe in those waters). For me personally, the 'one throat to choke' convenience in...

Yep, and I ordered one. It should be here Thursday. I'd much rather deal with Amazon than with multiple 3rd parties directly. If the part won't be delivered in 2 or 3 days, I'm not interested.

Thanks... you are an amazing individual.

I'm seeing a lot of post about how great Dahua Starlight cameras are awesome. However, every post about them seems to be accompanied by more post about making sure you get 'the right one with the right firmware from this one site from this one guy'. By chance, are there any re-branded Dahua...

ok.. after fumbling around, it looks like I need to do this: 1) Locate the alert of interest from the side panel and double click it - this will start the playing of the video at the correct time 2) The click the image in the 'Cameras' panel to go back to the live view 3) Then...

I have 3 cameras in a group and when one of them triggers, it makes the others trigger as well. When I go to the alerts/group, I see all the cameras triggering individually, however I can't watch all three of them at the same time (split screen). Isn't that supposed to be possible? I want it...

Fenderman's comments may seem a bit 'harsh', but they are valid. If you get BI now, you will always have doubt in your mind. So, 'try out' and NVR and get a bit of experience. Grab one at Costco or purchase online. If you don't like it after 30 days, you can always return it for a refund...

I've tried the NVR route twice; once with Lorex and a second time with LaView. Both times I returned the NVR. NVR's are fine if you plan to stay very simple, use the same camera brand as the NVR, and plug the cameras into the NVR. For me, that wasn't the case I needed something more flexible...

I don't see a group list in that file. I sent you a copy of the file via a private conversation in case you'd like to look at it. I did have a camera and group both called 'Garage'. I changed the camera name to 'GarageCam' and then rebooted my PC, but it didn't have any affect.

Any idea why the web UI would be showing me different groups than the admin console (see attached pic). From within the web UI, I can see all the cameras that are members of other groups, but the other groups don't show up in the drop down. I've verified that 'enable group webcast stream' is...

I'm trying to compare/contrast cameras. Can you tell me the difference between the Laview and IPCT Bullet cams? They both appeared to be rebrands of the same HikVision Camera. IPCT: IPCT-HFW4830S-I - https://www.amazon.com/IP-Cam-Talk-Network-IPCT-HFW4830S-I/dp/B07MH6K1RW LaView...

Thank you. I shot support an email, hopefully they will get back to me.

I'm researching building a new Blue Iris NVR which may support up to 8 4k cams (max.. right now, I only have 1 for testing). I also have an old Win7 Media center TV that I use to record over-the-air TV via a Hauppauge dual tuner card. To avoid having 2 PCs sucking up space/power/etc, my wife...

Is it possible for Blue Iris to adjust the brightness and other parameters on these doorbell cameras? From what I can tell, the management port is 8000. I've tried toying with the 'event schedule' to set the brightness level, but that doesn't work. I did a packet capture, but couldn't gather...

I've been watching a few. His stuff is great. I surprised he has so few subscribers/views.

FYI.. that link helped me get the exact information that I needed. Thanks again.

Thank you for the quick response.

Has anyone had any luck getting a One Halo doorbell camera from LaView to work in Blue Iris? If so, can you share your config?

I suspect these are simple questions, but they are throwing me for a loop giving I'm so very new to BI. Can you please look at the attached photo and tell me: 1) What is the yellow status bar at the top of the window telling me? It's saying "8:19:36PM 01m01s" however the video it's...
