    BI5 crashes after 10 seconds.

    That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in event viewer either. There was recently a BI bug that made it crash frequently in certain situations, which was fixed in the latest 5.9.9.63 update.

    Blue Iris UI3

    UI3's help file is far from exhaustive. The vast majority of the UI settings are not mentioned there.

    Network Rack Install—Attic Penetrations—Best Practices...

    There are already a lot of cables coming into that room. Can't run them through the same spot for consistency? Attic is straight above this? It wouldn't be particularly pretty but I'd probably just buy a chunk of large PVC conduit (at least 2" diameter) and feed it straight up through the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I'm not sure what "the status bar" is. You can probably change your android settings to always show the bottom button bar so it doesn't appear and overlap with things. UI3's settings has a number of settings that may be helpful: "Preferred UI Scale"; if you set this to "Large" then many of...

    Need some help understanding how to make setup work with fiber.

    I'm going to link a bunch of stuff from amazon US as examples; I'm sure you can find comparable items in your country. This cable has a decently tough jacket and has 6 strands but the ends are loose and a bit delicate. Would be a tad tricky to pull through conduit. Maybe you're better off...

    They couldn't diagnose Shingles? What, was there no rash?

    Can I change the Native Home position on a cheap Chinese camera?

    Unless it is a really poorly made camera, moving twice an hour is not going to be a big problem. Lots of PTZs are configured to move dozens of times per hour on a continuous "tour" and they can last for many years. Although it certainly does wear them out faster than not moving it.

    Is it normal to heave two IP entries for the NVR?

    192.169.x.x is an internet-routable subnet that should not be used on a private LAN. Unless you like having random websites not work just because your LAN IP range happens to overlap with their WAN IP. private ipv4 ranges

    Google.com Vulnerability that bypasses anti-virus

    The "google.com vulnerability" has nothing to do with google search. It is just another one of many mechanisms a hacker could use on an already-compromised website to get that website to load their malicious script. The key is they already need to have compromised someone's website, and get...

    I was told that using a SSD for video recording was going to kill it...

    For a Samsung drive, I'd use Samsung Magician software to look at drive health in case the third-party app doesn't interpret all the data correctly. But yes, the notion that an SSD will die prematurely if you write continuous surveillance video to it is an oversimplification. The thing that...

    Blue Iris discount no longer available?

    Until Mike responds, there's no telling if or when he'll be able to restock Blue Iris keys or at what price. I can't vouch for this ebay seller but they do have an excellent rating and a good price. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but all signs suggest that everyone will be able to...

    Where to install cameras and what focal length

    I can understand the "Z4E" camera being too narrow to suit your tastes, but in the right position it can be a license plate capture cam, or otherwise be very valuable for capturing face and clothing detail for identification purposes. I keep one under my front porch on the ground where it looks...

    Can I change the Native Home position on a cheap Chinese camera?

    On dahua or hikvision cameras, they call it something like "park action" or "idle motion" or something like that, and allow you to choose a preset # to go to after X minutes.

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Someone makes privacy films that limit the view angle of the monitor, that should help :) https://amazon.com/dp/B0DM9FWFKQ Oh wait never mind this probably does not block microwaves. Back to square one again.
