    Wiregaurd VPN no longer accessing BI

    I think I'm having a WG issue, not a BI, issue, and for the life of me can't figure it out so wondering if anyone can think of some ideas... A few years ago I installed WG on my RPi 4 so that I could create a VPN to log into BlueIris from my mobile phone when away to view my security cameras. I...

    Drives overallocated error?

    Wiregaurd to remotely Access BlueIris on PC?

    I'm leaving for a trip and was curious if there was a secure way to be able to access my PC from afar to be able to review any BlueIris recordings while away. I figured I could set up my PC as a Wiregaurd server and VPN in. But can't seem to find a simple guide to do so. I was using the...

    Adding 3rd Hard drive .... best practices?

    I currently have 2 3T hard drives and purchased a 4TB Purple that was on sale recently, have installed it into my PC and formatted it to NTFS, 1024 cluster size (will be an always recording drive). Right now I have my setup such that 4 of my cameras go to one drive, and 4 to another. I want to...

    Issues with DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    The past couple of days my DS-2CD2347G1-LU front door camera has started going off line repeatedly. I have to basically unplug the camera from the POE port in my basement, plug it back in, then hope it comes back online. Sometimes it does, other times it takes numerous tries. When it does, it...

    BI/DS - Weird Notification issues?

    Just removed my AITools/DS docker install and went to the BI integrated one. Having a couple weird issues that I can't seem to resolve on notifications/alerts being sent to my phone so wondering if I have a setting off somewhere: 1. I am getting notifications for cancelled alerts. E.g., at...

    Videos all black beyond 5 days?

    Not sure if I have my storage settings off, but I came back from a 17 day vacation and someone in the neighbourhood was asking to see if I had some license plates from August 8. I didn't think I'd have that far back, but checked anyhow. Noticed that anything prior to 5 days old doesn't show up...

    Notifications not working?

    Just switched phones from Android to iPhone (so far...my God Android is better at just about everything in terms of Usability...but I digress). I can't seem to get notifications on alerts to my iPhone. I went into each camera on BI and added this phones tag to the Alert/trigger. Turned on...

    BlueIris console won't start

    So was trying to delete a Wyze camera that wasn't working properly, and received a message that BI could not delete camera. BI then basically froze up, and I had to "End Task" after several minutes as it would not shut down. Now, even though the BI service still runs, and I can view the...

    Windows Reboot?

    More a Windows issue I guess, but it looks like there are occasions where my server is rebooting, I'm assuming it was due to an update (e.g., yesterday there was a security update). Have all my setting set to "do not restart", so not sure what is causing it? Is there a way to see why the...

    Dont forget to register license caution?

    So have a little exclamation mark on my BI screen constantly, and in the Status log the error message is "Don't forget to register your license on the settings page!" My license says activated, so I'm not sure what the issue is?

    Cameras getting no signal after hours of Inactive profile?

    So weird issue. Since i've been home I've been manually changing the profile to Inactive for 12 hours a day. The other day I did this and one of my cameras didn't come back (said no signal on screen). Yesterday, did the same thing, and didn't notice until this morning that all cameras were...

    OpenALPR - originally would not recognize that I changed my camera's password ... now won't stream from camera?

    So odd issue. Yesterday I went into the Web GUI of my Dauhua Z12E camera and changed the admin password. BlueIris recognized this of course and could no longer access the camera until I changed the authentication password in BlueIris. However, the odd thing is that my OpenALPR agent continued...

    Vacation Schedule Mixed with Work/Home/Night

    Struggling a bit with the scheduling system even after reviewing the videos. What I want to do is have a few different schedules: 1. Night (say 10 to 5am each day) 2. Work (say 8 to 6pm M-F) 3. Home - basically the other hours I set that up and started with home and basically made it all...

    OpenALPR - Direction of Travel?

    Just trying OopenALPR out and had a couple Qs. When configuring the camera, I am able to select a few plates and choose the direction of travel. But i) it only lets me choose from the same 5 images (all but 1 of them is going in the same direction), so is there a way to select from different...

    Lost connection to BlueIris Android App

    So have been setting up DeepstackAI, and ran into a weird issue with it (see this post [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris) where I can't use a user name or password to login to the URL needed for the AITools app. In any event, I then couldn't log in anymore to my BlueIris...

    CPU running at 100%?

    So uninstalled Deepstack AI thinking maybe that was causing an issue, but ever since I added 2 additional cameras to my Dell 3620 Precision tower (i7-6600 with 32GB of RAM), as soon as I launch BI the CPU jumps to 100%, then stays from 95% to 100%. Any ideas why that would happen? I'm only at...

    Camera Faceoff: Dahua Starlight IPC-T5442TM-AS vs Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU

    So had a 2.8mm Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2347G1-LU for a few weeks and enjoying the full colour night time picture it delivers at my main house entrance porch which has a street light some 80 feet away that provides enough light to keep the camera in 1/60 exposure, even 1/120 looks fine. But have...

    Hikvision 7616 Not saving pics or record files?

    So I am using IE which seems to be the only browser that works these days with my web user interface. But when I click on capture image, or download a 1GB file, the files are not actually showing up in the folders and, possibly, not actually saving anywhere. E.g., if I take a capture, I get a...

    Oncoming Street facing House Issues with Headlights causing alerts

    So have been playing with BI for a couple days (new to the system and still learning!). Enjoying the granularity of changes you can make to motion detection, but at times it can certainly be overwhelming! Something I'm currently challenged with is that I am the first house in a subdivision where...

    New to BI, can't get Push or Email Alerts?

    So been at this a few hours now working on a single camera before I move over other cams. I've gone through several of the BI guides to set up triggers based on motion and using zones. Can see the motion being detected. In the Alerts tab, all trigger sources and zones are checked, and I've...

    DS-2CD2142FWD-IS can't seem to upgrade firmware?

    I'm running 5.4.5 on these right now, thought I read somewhere that the newest firmware allowed liveview on Chrome browsers again, and assume this is the latest for this camera. https://us.hikvision.com/sites/default/files/firmware/ipc_r6_en_std_5.5.82_190220_0.zip But when I go into camera...

    Hikvision IPC-T2347G-LU on Hikvision NVR Not coming through?

    So I've been using the Hikvision 7616-E2-EP NVR and 7 DS-2CD2142FWD-IS Domes hooked up to it via POE with virtual host enabled. I have setup all the cameras on TinyCamPro just fine and they were working properly (basically using the IP Address of the NVR with each specific port for the virtual...

    LPR / Security Cam duty

Most folks here have settled on Ring cameras being setup for whatever reason (a neighbour swears that there the best thing since sliced bread and insists all home owners to switch to them...but I digress)...

    Hik 7616 NVR - 1GB file size min download?

    Seems when I want to download say a minute or two of recordings on my Hik NVR, when I search the time I want, all the file sizes that come up are generally 40 min or so long and 1GB. I have in the local config settings the recording size to be 256mb (not 1GB). Curious if I am missing a setting...

    Tired of the clouds...upgrade to the ColorVu?

    So I made the mistake of buying domes a few years ago when i moved into the house. I'm stuck with these sorts of images, even after constantly cleaning the lenses, adding some foam to the lens, etc, etc. I would prefer to stick to the hikvision series, I think, mainly so that I don't have...
