    No audio is heard in web GUI

    Hmmm...you aren't by chance using the built-in Windows Remote Desktop to access this computer, then using the web interface on that remote computer, right? If so, this is a known limitation (of Remote Desktop), at least it is the case when attempting to listen to live audio in the main BI...

    Syncing camera time with PC time

    I can confirm that it continues to work on Windows 11 (which is not very surprising, because for all their faults, MS does really try to maintain backward compatibility as much as possible).

    Syncing camera time with PC time

    Are you using the NetTime program (third party utility), or trying to sort out built-in NTP server functions of Windows? Seach the forums here for NetTime, it really is the way to go.

    Alert Actions won't fire with zone A to B motion.

    Yeah, I have had this type of problem for ages, and the conclusion is that the action sets don't work exacty like the trigger/zone-crossing logic. Even if you can get the zone-crossing working as desired for basic Alert (triggered recording), the Action sets don't recognize quite the same...

    Router Wi-Fi connection goes down when a computer is shut down

    Agree with the other posts, although probably not directly caused by the firmware (latest or otherwise). You may want to bite the bullet and do a full factory reset to defaults on your router and manually reconfigure from screenshots (do NOT restore from a complete backup config file, as...

    Need help watching elderly parents via cloud + BI

    Yes, search for threads here that discuss TP-Link Tapo cameras (various models can do this, once an additional/optional setting is enabled in the interface under Advanced Settings, Camera Account). Edit: You may find that they are equally useful with simply a SD card installed (no BI passthough...

    AI: not responding

    Yes, one thing to look for: there was a specific MS update (sorry , I don't have the exact KB # to reference at the moment) to .NET in January of this year that caused this mess on my system for a couple of days. I held off on the update for almost two months, then decided to install it, but had...

    How to open a pipe

    Yup...confirmed, a metal or plastic (high quality ones, but metal or plastic nonetheless). :)

    How to open a pipe

    You're sure of that ;)? I'm pretty sure it's not glass, ceramic, or wood based, which effectively means it is some type of metal or plastic.

    New (higher spec) CPU requirements for Windows 11 24H2

    I can say that even a month ago (late January) it was extremely difficult to get a legitimate Win 11 23H2 iso installation, only 24H2 was available from Microsoft on any of the public facing download channels. I had to go through a very convoluted download and "build" processs offered through...

    New (higher spec) CPU requirements for Windows 11 24H2

    Interesting...especially given that Wine version 8.x was developed throughout 2023, the current (Feb. 2025) release version is 10.2. However, like you, I'm not in a position to test out BI on this.

    New (higher spec) CPU requirements for Windows 11 24H2

    Well, Microsoft just changed the CPU requirements to run Windows 11 24H2, which will be the only "supported" version by the end of this year (given the concurrent "retirement" or EOL of Windows 10 at about the same time). Those of us that bought 8th gen Intel machines in the last couple of years...

    Camera ONVIF trigger alerts in Blue Iris - Considering using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection

    Just be aware that using those newer "additive/exclusive" options turn what would traditionally be one (real-world, physical) event into many tiny (on the order of one second) events/alerts on the BI timeline. Bit of a bummer that it has no way to distinguish and combine them into one alert.

    POE Cameras going offline everyday at the same time

    First thing that comes to mind: do you really need a topology that forces all the camera feeds through the router before being distributed back out to the other devices? It seems like a direct cable link between the two switches might potentially solve this problem (unless you are using the...

    16 port switch rec

    That's cutting it very close to the ragged edge. Basically your power budget is about 8W per camera under those parameters (115/14): fine in the daytime(3-4 W per camera), but right at the limit at night if using the on-board IR lighting (about 8W per camera). I wouldn't run it that close to...
