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.

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.

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...

Took about 15 minutes for Windows to update. Then after it rebooted I was greeted with this. Now I have to try to find my license key. Anyone else experienced this?

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...

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?

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...

I got one of these from Fry's today for $42. I downloaded the device config tool and was able to see the camera on my local network assigned a 192.168.1.X address. However, when I try to access it from a web browser, I got a 400 error. Swann Thermal Sensing PIR Security Camera: 5MP Super HD...

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.

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...

Any drawbacks to setting up a cam like this? It displays fine in Blue Iris.

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...

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?
