    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    That was it. Mo$%^$ F^%&%er. Thank you! Wierd how it worked before upgrading from V4 to V5. Can only guess it was a literal overlap on the phone app updating and losing that permission the same day I got around to upgrading the server software.

    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    Didn't work. These are old IP2m-841B. Made sure firmware was current. Tried yours and a lot of other camera configs. Mic option is grayed out on Android app. Everything else works perfectly.

    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    I've been running V3 then V4 for years without issue. I finally upgraded to V5 and lost the ability to send audio to my Amcrest cameras using the Android app. The mic icon is grayed out and cannot be selected. I can hear audio fine. I've tried all Amcrest profiles and nothing corrects this...

    Blue Iris in a VM? Yup no problem!

    I finally tested a setup on a VM and it is working way better than I expected. All the doom and gloom about even trying it gave me doubts and now I'm not sure I'll be going back to a hardware install. This is also just a home setup and always like to try different things. Previous setup was on...

    Record to 2 hard drives at once for backup.

    Could you use something like DFS in windows to duplicate files across different spaces? Have it record to a temp folder locally and let DFS duplicate them to the external drives. It should catch up when you reattach them. I've never tried this but was just a thought.

    BI on Sever 2012 E2 with QuickSync

    You might run into the same memory leak issues. I'm on a 7700k in Server 2012 and can't find drivers that work with Quicksync without memory leak issues. Seems Microsoft/Intel really want you on Windows 10 / Server 2016.

    cpu utilization of BI process rises up to 100%

    I have the 7700k (7th gen) on Win Server 2012r2 and can't get any of these preferred drivers installed. It shows the HD 630 chipset in device manager and all the drivers mentioned don't even list the 630 when tying to manually install it.

    Anyone running 8th gen Intel without memory leak problems in Blue Iris?

    I'm on a 7th gen 7700k with the HD630 graphics on Win Server 2012r2 and can't find a driver combo that prevents the memory leak issue. Even turning off the hardware encoding in blue iris didn't help. Had to switch to the generic microsoft driver to keep the memory from maxing out after a few hours.

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Mine is still on 554 and it is now working. They must have made some sort of changes behind the scenes in the mobile app or the main program on the last update as it just started working out of the blue. I've tried all sorts of things to get two way audio to work on these cams and essentially...

    Blue Iris Support - reachable?

    They responded to me and reset license and all is well. They got back to me in about 48 hours. Check your spam folders! Their email was sitting in my junk folder. The rep sent a message from a Gmail account. If anyone hasn't heard from them their mail could be in your junk folder too. I forgot...

    Blue Iris Support - reachable?

    I would do it now if I wasn't on the latest version already. I just need the license reset. Upgraded the server OS and virtualized the server at the same time and now the license won't register again. Have sent three or four emails from different accounts with all the registration info. Still no...

    What is their typical response time? I haven't had a response yet but it has only been 24 hours.

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    General use terminology..... Didn't know that about the VGA foscams. I hadn't tried them. They do (or did) have optical zoom on a few of the megapixel versions. Not mine apparently. Seems as of today, one of them doesn't have tilt any more either. So I guess it's just a "p" iece....

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Might I suggest you switch to PTZ? :) Security at critical spots are covered with appropriate gear. Foscams are 720p @ 15fps. We've done Skype and the like but isnt effective if they dont have the device on or aren't paying attention to it. The wired connectiom between cams and the WAN...

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    I use the PTZ cameras to help interact with the kids when I'm out of town. It gives them some visual feedback when we are talking. They know that I am looking and paying attention and they respond as if I were there. I also like the tighter view and detail versus a wide shot. They could be...
