    Red Recording Icon

    In the help file, you can search for Status Icons, it says the following about the red icon in the camera window "One or more cameras is actively recording video." The help file is chock block full of useful information!

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    I was testing one and the signal to BI was virtually instantaneous from what I could see, I did not do any definitive testing of the actual delay, but I am sure it was not longer than about 1 second!

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    It does not do any recording, it is nothing more than an input module that can trigger BI to record or alert etc. The first one has the ability to take inputs and do outputs from BI, the second one only does input, the inputs are isolated so that there is no direct signal into the computer!

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    They also make other isolated inputs, this one does not have the relay outputs, just inputs SeaDAC Lite - USB to 4 Isolated Inputs There is a reference to using these with BI, search the help file for "Sealevel"

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    This device will probably do what you want, there may also be other ways to do this! SeaDAC Lite - USB to 4 Isolated Inputs; 4 Form C Relays It's a bit pricey but would solve you problem with no extra work!

    Extremely slow loading when connected to home network, but accessing external domain?

    Is the phone an Apple or Android device Have you tried to ping the IP address from the phone, what is the response time? Could it be a name resolution issue on the local lan

    Hourly gaps in recording

    Is it possible that something is overloading the network or the Promax VM at that time and preventing the signal from the camera from reaching the BI server, not sure if this type of thing would trigger a log event or not!

    How to move Blue Iris to a new PC?

    That's an old version from sometime in 2020, you can look here, but I think that these are just updates, and not full version installs Blue Iris Updates Alternatively you could upgrade to a new version for the cost of a support contract! What was the date that your support expired in your BI...

    Very slow DB regenerate

    Just a suggestion, you might want to consider getting a UPS so that power outages don't crash the BI server! As for your drives overallocated, some screen captures of the setting for you storage drives might help to see if there is something that can be suggested!

    What happens to camera files when you change camera name?

    If you still want access to them you can shut down the BI service and rename the files, then do a DB rebuild, there are a number of free utilities that will do the file rename for you!
