    BIT install error message re comctl32.dll

    When trying to install BIT I get a message of "An access violation occurred while copying the file" (C:\Windows\system32\comctl32.dll) If I click on "Ignore" it "says" BIT was installed, but I cannot get the weather overlays to work anyway. Related? I checked the Help file online but the...

    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    I have a PC I built it in 2011 running the latest flavor of BI with CPU usage consistently 90-100%. I have not been successful in getting this to go down anywhere near what I see others getting (60%) with many more cameras. The PC includes: MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s...

    jerky video in BI recordings

    This post is about finally understanding and addressing a problem I have (and may be common to many others as well) with BI recordings triggered by motion in which a subject (such a person entering the monitored zone) is initially captured, is then "frozen" in place, and then either disappears...

    Remote login/access problem

    I am running the current version 4.0.1.9 and recently added two of the TOP-201 cameras (http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?1812-Review-TOP-201-Super-Mini-720P-HD-IP-Cam-%28The-Cheapest-IP-Cam-So-Far-!!%29) and deleted one user group and replaced it with another group.

    Networking

    Going through the help files and I saw advice about ensuring my firewall and anti-virus settings do not slow down BI operation. I use ZoneAlarm Free firewall and AVG Antivirus Free. Any suggestions on settings for these would be appreciated. Many thanks!

    Stop Action Recording

    I have three Hikvision cameras (DS-2CD2132-I) and two Foscam cameras (FI8904W & FI8918W) that are triggered for recording motion (all controlled by BlueIris) with masking to try avoiding false triggers. The Foscams seem to work pretty well, but the Hikvision recordings occasionally freeze. In...

    Direct-to-disc or Re-encode with settings

    I am setting up my cameras (3x Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I and 3x Foscam FI8904W/FI8918W/FI8910W) to record MP4 files for viewing on various devices. What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of the two available encoding techniques? (1) Direct-to-disc (2) Re-encode with settings And, if I use...

    BI website access?

    I have tried getting into their website from several PCs today and it keeps requiring a username and password for access? ? Anyone know anything about what's going on? Thanks.

    Raspberry Pi & Blue Iris

    I have BI running as a server to display the images from my cameras (3 Hikvision HD & 2 Foscam SD). I would like to also see this on my Samsung Smart TV upstairs. Using the TV browser may be an option (though I see mixed results in a related thread elsewhere here), but what would seem easier is...

    new Chicagoland member

    I joined yesterday and was immediately helped. I have started with Blue Iris and three Hikvision HD cameras and two lower resolution Foscam cameras. So far so good for monitoring. I plan to get into motion detection and recording so I will be watching this forum for that stuff. I am also using...

    Blue Iris camera resolution with video tab

    Hikvision HD 3MP IP dome camera, model DS-2CD2132-I I recently set up three of these cameras with Blue Iris. Two of them I can set for 1920*1080 resolution on the BI video tab, but the third one does not show that as an option and keeps defaulting to a lower resolution. I must be doing...
