    Unable to Connect Please Try Again Reason: Unable to reach server (mobile)

    Glad I found this because I was going to post the same thing. Running version 4 server and last few days could not log in on my mobile even while on the same network. Updated with new version of mobile app and it's fixed.

    Mobile app notification only vibrates but no sound

    This looks to be resolved, although I didn't see any updates to my app since 3/3. Must have been a server-side bug.

    Mobile app notification only vibrates but no sound

    I'm pretty sure this started happening with the new mobile app. It started vibrating my phone with no sound. I fussed around with the in-app settings as well as the Android notification settings with no luck. There were two "Motion Alerts" categories in Android. I made sure to set it to a...

    Offload archiving processing to another machine

    I have BI running on my main Optiplex machine. A few days ago a spare Dell i7 laptop was given to me. Currently I'm not re-compressing any of my clips for archival purpose due to the intense processing power, but I would like to start doing that so I can keep certain camera clips for months at...

    Blue Iris Android App clear notification upon viewing a clip

    Unlike many other apps, The Android BI app doesn't automatically clear the push notification after you've viewed a clip. I have to view the clip and then clear the notification manually each time. Is there a setting I'm missing or that's just how it works?

    Are there any tools out there that can help me identify what lens will cover the exact area I want?

    Let's say I want to buy a fixed lens camera that can cover a particular section outside my house. I want it to be very specific like from edge to edge of my property lines, very minimal to no skies. What tool can I use so I know exactly what lens characters to look for when shopping for a...

    Found a setting in UI3 that if misused can significantly increase CPU usage

    I actually have two Chromecast dongles hooked up to two other TVs located throughout the house. That's why I'm casting it from the server.

    Found a setting in UI3 that if misused can significantly increase CPU usage

    I have two sessions of Chrome Tab casting active on my BI server. Over the last few days I noticed my CPU usage was way above normal. Chrome would be using around 25% and BI would be using around 65%. I followed every advice in the Optimizing Blue Iris CPU Usage to no avail. Then just now I...

    I have a Dell Optiplex 990 with a i7-2600 processor. According to Intel it has the Quick Sync feature. I have 16 cameras in BI and no matter if I turn on or off Intel hardware acceleration I'm getting no difference in CPU usage. Most of my cameras are H.264 and all of them are saved direct to...

    Two cameras with identical settings one uses 3x more space

    All the while I've been focusing on Camera 2, but in fact you are right, Camera 1 is the culprit. I noticed the image quality is very jpegy and I decided to reboot the camera (auto maintenance off and it's been a while since I rebooted it). Well when it came back up the bit rate matches Camera...

    RAID 0 vs. multiple drives

    Let's say I have a drive N: that I want to add to the drive pool. Drive N: is a 3TB drive with a bunch of other files already on it. I want to only add 1TB to the drive pool while leaving 2TB. Is there a way I can do that?
