New 'Motion' camera with no signal since 4.3.6.x

[Vini]

Since updating to 4.3.6.0 (and subsequently 4.3.6.1) I’ve been given an additional camera, called Motion, which triggers the ‘no signal’ alarm (because this camera doesn’t exist).


I’ve no idea where this has come from? I deleted it in 4.3.6.0, but it returned when my machine updated to 4.3.6.1…


Any ideas?


BI x64 version

Running as a service

Dont know where the camera came from - you should email support. Side note, you have allocated too much space for your storage that is why its showing in red and a negative number.
Also your cpu consumption is way to high. You may also what to give each camera a distinct color so that the timeline shows distinct color bars for each cam.

I've already emailed support...


My storage is negative as I have two thin provisioned VM's on that drive, which is causing BI to report inaccurately. It's no biggy.

CPU is normally around 65%, I had 3 camera's triggered at the time of taking this screenshot and I was signed in via TeamViewer which adds quite an overhead.

Support said;

Right click the camera and select Delete camera.

All entries in the registry under HKLM\Software\Perspective software\Blue Iris\Cameras are considered camera entries... could something else be creating registry entries there?

and then

I think I did find a place where this could occur and will fix it.



So no cure as such.....

Did you try deleting the camera and the adding it back in?

There is no camera to 'add back in'. This is a rogue camera that appears, it contains no valid information.

This returned in 4.3.7.0 & 4.3.7.1 ... I guess I could just prevent write access to the HKLM\Software\Perspective software\Blue Iris\Cameras reg key, but thats cheating.
