We have a remote cabin that has 4 cameras that we monitor. We recently switched to t-mobile home internet and found out they don't allow any port forwarding. We don't have any computers at the remote cabin, so, can't run any remote software. We do have an Asus router (88 model) that is used...

so, can i simply delete the "blue iris" folder on my nas and start with a new db, or is there a special process to reset the bi db?

I have been through the most recent versions, i'm currently on a 2020 version - i like the ability to drag my cameras around to do ui layout, instead of the newer ui layout method. I may need clarification on "run a delete". I'm thinking of simply deleting the folders on the nas and starting...

My bi is getting progressively worse and acting odd. It started by not showing clips from the stored, new, and alerts folders. I verified those folders had data in them, yet, bi said no clips existed. The day before there were over 50k clips. So, I set new folders for the new+alert+storage...

That sounds like a valid reason, I definitely give it high consideration. So, if I setup server vpn on my router, all equipment that needs to access my network from outside my lan would need to connect via vpn client. Is this possible with security cameras - they don't establish the internet...

I saw that thread, which got me to wondering how a VPN server on the router protected my lan from being hacked. Which, of course, led to what other benefits are gained by setting up a router based vpn server.

Thank you for the replies. If I have no need to access my LAN externally, is there any advantage to setting up my router as a VPN server? I guess I'm looking more for the why, advantages, disadvantages, pros, cons, etc, instead of how to setup a router VPN. I can follow the setup process...

I have an Asus RT-AC3100 router, which can be configured with VPN server. If I setup the VPN server on the router, do I need any external VPN service? I have a subscription with PIA VPN and use a client VPN setup on my router to the PIA VPN servers, but, don't know the benefits/consequences...

I setup this machine specifically for bi. I think the only other apps I loaded are antivirus and backup software. About the only software it runs is bi. I still get flaky issues since the update to win 11. Another issue is sometimes all the icons in bi turn into black squares. If I run my...

Also set the "Maximize Frame" option and can get the cameras to open full screen. I've not changed my settings in several weeks prior to updating to win 11, so, not sure what's changed in my system (other than win 11). In any event, I have 2 methods to get the response I originally had, so...

I just went through the Windows 11 update on my pc. I currently have about 15 cameras being monitored. If I double click on a camera bi used to open a full screen view of the camera. Now it simply does nothing. If I select "solo selected camera" I can get the full screen view of each camera...

I do have bi webserver running. Also, Synology NAS, which has ftp, and remote access. So, dumb question: if censys has a connection to my bi system, does this mean they either have my login credentials, or they have a back door?

I selected the "connections" tab in bi status and it is showing some connections I don't recognize. You can see the connections in the attached image, but, the data is: IP: 167.248.133.53 Host: scanner-09-ch1.censys-scanner.com Anybody have any clue who these folks are and why they would be...

Ok, but, the player built into bi should have the ability to adjust playback speed, despite the video format. The playback speed adjustment is probably right in front of me, I'm just overlooking it.

As a follow-up, my bi is not showing those controls. See the attached image. Thus, I have some cameras that are stuck at 256xx speed, with no apparent means of getting them back down to normal speed.
