    Updated BI, Drive over Quota

    Thanks, I set this up once a long time ago and haven't looked at it since. I've got some issues I believe.. There are several items I needed to correct - I disabled the time limit completely and decreased the Combine or Cut Video time/size. I have 3 drives currently. C is my SSD BI install, D...

    Updated BI, Drive over Quota

    I've been running BI for years without having a single storage issue. I updated yesterday TO 5.9.9.9. This morning, I find that there is a "Drive Over Quote" message. My "new" folder which was set to 300GB had 360GB in it. I went back to 5.9.9.7 and ran maintenance and repair/regenerate on the...

    I tried clearing cache and data for the BI app and now the unique notification sounds seem to be working fine. Thanks!

    Unique alert sounds not working

    So if I go to apps - BI - Notifications, I can click on Notifications but it's just a radio button to turn them on/off and a selection between "allow sound and vibration" and "silent". The only way I can get to an option to set an alert sound is through the app, if I go to settings within BI, I...

    Unique alert sounds not working

    I had a unique sound set up for each camera several months ago but now I can't get anything other than the standard android notification to work. All the notifications are set up the same as when they did work - I have a sound selected in the "configure push notification" window. Any idea why...

    Renewal / Key

    My invoice is from "Perspective Software Billing". I clicked on "cancel" but that isn't an option. What a pain.. I had been putting off doing the upgrade but my notifications got jacked up with the google upgrades a while back. I need them working ASAP, several people in the neighborhood have...

    Renewal / Key

    My subscription expired, I pulled up the activation window and clicked to purchase an extension of maintenance. I copied that URL over to my primary PC (that does not run BI) and paid. I now have an email invoice saying that I paid but no license key. Blue Iris looks the same, says my...

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    Did notifications break again? I updated to the evaluation version of 5.9.7.3 - notifications worked when I initially installed but then quit. I see that 5.9.7.4 was released a day after 5.9.7.3 but I don't have the option to upgrade the evaluation version to it.. [edit] I needed to manually...

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    I'm curious as well. They aren't working on my new phone. I have a unique sound for each camera. My dogs have learned which door to run to by the alert tone. :lmao:

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    Valid point, thanks for the correction. I'm not sure what you'd call it. It's the only software I've purchased where you have to pay to get minor revisions and bug fixes. It's unfortunate. Anyway, thanks!

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    When I first bought BI years ago, I didn't realize it was subscription based. I've had to resubscribe literally every year since then for some reason or another. I can roll back my version and get back to the non-evaluation mode?

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    That was the problem. Wow, what crazy timing that my phone was destroyed in an accident just before google broke notifications. I'm not aware of the Evaluation Version, I was curious how I was updating with an expired subscription. What are its limitations?

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    I had push notifications set up on an android phone and they were working properly about a month ago. I got a new phone and am attempting to set up push notifications but I cannot get them to work. I'm not sure if it is something in the configuration or the phone itself. I'm on 5.9.07. I thought...

    Blue Iris on new phone

    Thanks a lot! Correct me if I'm wrong - For a "permanent" solution I can either pay yearly for a certificate, or update my free certificate every three months?

    Blue Iris on new phone

    I saw that thread earlier but I was turned off by the fact that the certificate had to be renewed every three months. I just tried the "temporary solution" by adding sslVersion = TLSv1.2 in the config file and this corrected the issue. Why is this a temporary solution? Can I just leave this in...

    Blue Iris on new phone

    Well, there is an iphone that also has their own license for the BI app in the household. I just checked and with the same settings that I cannot connect with, it connects fine. Any ideas why my new S10 will not connect? The message is: Unable to Connect. Please try again. Reason: Unable to...

    Blue Iris on new phone

    I had Blue Iris working fine with an S7. I upgraded to an S10 and something isn't right. I am running STunnel on the BI PC and have port forwarding set up already. Old phone settings: LAN: HTTPS, 192.168.1.xxx:yyyy WAN:HTTPS, ...:yyyy yyyy is the 4-digit port that I have forwarded. The app on...

    Help Choosing Dahua Camera

    Apparently the cameras weren't recording at all, the CPU was at 9-12% at that time. I tried a couple different configurations and recording halted. I'm wondering now if recording to disc and having quicksync ON has something to do with the issues I'm seeing. If you change video stream, what...

    I went from 265 to 264H and turned smart codec off. I'm basically using 10x more storage than I was using with 265 and smart codec ON. Is 264H 10x better? I tried swapping back to H265 with smart codec ON so I could compare some video but now I'm having an issue with the cameras indicating "No...

    Thanks for the input so far. I had 5 cameras all streaming at around 15kb and using over 40% utilization. I changed to H.264H and my bitrate went to 900kb/s. That put my utilization at over 60%. I followed the Blue Iris Optimizing thread and now, recording 24/7 with motion enabled, I am sitting...

    I changed that setting but when I go to BI and open the camera statistics window, the bitrates are all over the place. One camera is around 5KB, another is 50kb but jumps around a good bit. Is this normal or am I missing a setting somewhere? The stream/substream settings are identical across the...

    Thanks guys! I returned the 4433 as you recommended and picked up three more of the 2231R-ZS. Still have two to put up but so far so good. I'm loving blue iris. The interface is taking a lot longer to figure out than I would expect but there are at least half a dozen things I'm absolutely...

    Thanks for the feedback. I definitely understand now that it is really dependent on the specific application. I picked up three IPC-HDW2231R-ZS from empiretechAndy, they are very impressive for low light. I do wish they had audio, I'm about to order something that has similar specs but with...

    Blue Iris PC Upgrades (HP 590-p0033w)

    Just picked up a refurb HP 590-p0033w i3-8100 to run Blue Iris or similar on, I'll have likely five 2mp cameras and maybe one 5mp. I'm trying to figure out how to set up the storage/OS drives. I'd like to potentially dual purpose the pc for streaming media to a single device at some point. Im...

    Excellent. Just ordered three of the 2231 from EmpireTech. About to start looking for a PC to run Blue Iris or similar. Not trying to hijack my own thread but if you guys have any recommendations, PM me. I'm willing to spend up to $500 on the PC and drives (including OS). Thanks for all the...

    OK so I messaged Empiretecandy and got some pricing. Could someone clarify for me which would be better for my scenario? IPC-HFW4239T-ASE or IPC-HDW2231R-ZS? Many thanks - I'm so tired of researching cameras - I'm going to have more labor in researching cameras than the cost of the cameras...

    Thanks for the quick and detailed reply. That answered a lot of my questions. Is the IPC-HDBW4433R-ZS a starlight camera? Some sites list it as a starlight while others do not. I don't see the starvis sensor so I'm assuming it is not. Any ideas how it would compare to a 2MP starvis?

    I was really excited by the Dahua "product selector" on their website, I was able to choose exactly the camera that fit my needs but I can't even find it for sale anywhere. Not to mention a lot of the ones that are readily available don't even show up in the search. Here are my requirements -...
