Last I checked, Blue Iris only support windows. I have it running on a dedicated laptop which has Windows 11 on it at the moment . The only thing the laptop is used for is for blue iris. Is there a dumbed down windows server or something else I can use OS wise that isn't so background processor...

Hmm that's exactly what i need. Problem is, I can't seem to find the Qolsys IQ Pro system anywhere to get a price on one :)

No - I get alerts all the time on both properties because of what I'm monitoring. They're both equally important, but there's a couple of hot spots I want to pay extra attention to, and it's still difficult to distinguish between properties. There's been buglaries recently and one of the...

Sounds really promising, and it would fit the need other than the fact I want to flexibility to self monitor and central station monitor. I may at somepoint choose to switch carriers or just go full on self-monitor. Is there anything that fits everything you described + allows for self-monitoring?

I have the Blue Iris app setup on my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, but we have 2 different locations with 2 different locations. Is there anyway to setup the notifications so that one of the servers is one color and the other a differnt color? Or someway to distinguish them and make them unique...

Hi there, I'm considering adding this system on to our home. We have casement windows on the first floor, and I'd like glass break detection and intrusion detection. Do you happen to know what type of sensors I would need for this?

Hi all - So I already have a nice Blue Iris setup at my house, with a rack and dedicated server, synology, and 7 Cameras for my main house. We now want to setup surveillance for my mother in laws house. Probably 3 - 4 cameras max. I'd like to setup such that all footage stores on the same...

LOL! Wayyyy out of support, though.... I guess I'm not really looking for updates all the time! Thanks Calvin & Hobbs ;)

Does anyone know if Blue Iris can be installed on Windows Server Nano, or some other super lightweight version? I've got rack mounted gear, and a hyper-visor server running where at the moment, I have Blue Iris running as a hyper vm with Windows Server 2019 edition. I'd rather skip the GUI as...

Thanks for the help. The Blue Iris Support team was able to locate the license and send it over which I've now saved a copy of that e-mail for future reference! Good to go! Thanks for the assist!

So... I think I did purchase it on ipcamstore... but did it by clicking the login through google account, and then later joined the ipcamtalk from, and somehow i got a duplicate account, because I can't seem to associate the two as it says the e-mail address already exists when I try to do it.

I looked... not there. I was wondering if it maybe it's too old somehow it's lost? My original purchase was a version 4 license.

I already purchased a maintenance license this past January. Isn't there someway to lookup my old license from the maintenance license I purchased? I mean i get we're talking 60 bucks.... but I already purchased, have proof of the purchase (just not the order ID), and re-purchased the support...

That is what i'm saying I can't find it. I can only find my paypal transaction. I looked. I'm pretty sure I purchased a 4 License and then it was upgraded to 5. I deleted a whole bunch of old e-mail. The only other thing is I may have registered it under a completely different e-mail (doubtful)...

I already removed the license from the old server (hit the deactivate license from this server). Isn't it gone at this point? Also System Restores don't happen on Windows Server 2016... so there's no restore option.

Today I decided to migrate my Blue Iris, which has been running off of an old Dell Precision Laptop since 2019, to a proper rack mount Poweredge. It has been on version 5. I exported the settings, and unregistered the server and installed BI on the new server. Then it asked for the license code...

Yeah I already mentioned I didn't mean to create 2 threads, but I realized I had posted it in the wrong area. The truth is, I don't know what I need. I just switch insurance companies as it was cheaper to go that route, and they said hey we can get you more of a discount on your home if you...

None of these will work, because I want an company that will take on monitoring my blue iris camera system in addition to installing their alarm. I can't seem to find anyone who will monitor an already setup blue iris system.

So I already have a complete Blue IRIS system setup. 8 Cameras all exterior facing for the property. I'm trying to get a monitored alarm system by simplisafe or someone else that ties into the police / fire and allows me to get an insurance discount.... but.... I don't want to have to rip down...

Hi everyone - I already have a Blue Iris camera system on the complete exterior of my home monitoring all access points in or out of the house. I do not have an actual "security system." Are there any monitoring services that are cheap and can just monitor my surveilance system without the...

I have another RCA here that I was planning on returning. I wonder if I try the same method with Nellys firmware and see if it works? Just take it out of the box and completely forego trying the batch config tool, and just upload the firmware to the SD card, and try the hard power method while...

Weird issue.... but apparently it somehow "reconnected" to the hikvision app even though i deleted it previously. After re-installing hikvision and deleting it and the account a 2nd time.... I then added the account under the RCA app, and was able to add the device back. Very strange.....

I believe the "secret sauce" is really in the re-formatting of the SD card, and copying the firmware file twice (with one of them being renamed), and then following the restart procedure (I didn't have to do anything with disconnecting the chime power pack or anything). It was simply, copy the...

Well, I was trying to access the rca app today to view a notification which I have Face ID turned on for and I had my face mask on. It wouldn’t recognize me with my mask on, So I canceled and try logging in via username / password and none of that worked. Then I tried doing a forget password and...

I updated the firmware because “there was a need.”The whole reason for the purchase was to add the device to my blue iris configuration and continuously store security footage. The default RCA firmware has this disabled, and I couldn’t add it... hence the reason I needed to change the firmware...

awesome! Thank you for the help. Haven’t tested the chime again yet, but everything appears To be working! And the fix for the bricked doorbell earlier was spot on! Worked like a charm! I’m debating setting up another one for the back door, but that will require some new wiring. The image...

Ok I have it up and running, and added to Blue Iris. Now interestingly enough.... Before I did the firmware update, I tested it with my Electronic Doorbell.... which it was working (with the power pack thingy installed on the chime). I noticed on the RCA app, it gave me a choice of if I had a...

Well I'll be darned.... Sure enough, came back to life, blinking blue now. WIFI appears to be softap_C50447861 now though..... so where do I go from here?

Just turned around my car from dropping this off to amazon. Am going to try this and will report back shortly!
