    The lights on the camera are a pair of Bright white LED's, (bright white visible light), the camera does also have infrared LED's for night vision, I can try to see if I can find any info for API calls, but it is a model that Nelly's no longer carries, possibly due to poor quality of the...

    Is it possible to move protected alerts to anoher BI instance?

    You could just export them! If you absolutely want them to be part of the new BI system, then you will have to have the same short camera names as BI uses them to build the database and link the videos to a camera, I also suspect that they would not be protected after you copy the files to...

    Mobile access to a BI v4

    Could it possibly be an issue with the security certificate that BI4 is using is not being trusted by the newer IPad device? I thought I read about some issues with security certificates expiring for apple devices!

    Blue Iris on a Unraid VM (Playback lag)

    I am not sure, it is possible that the virtualized video driver may be causing your issue. If UI3 is good then it would potentially eliminate the playback section in BI. I recall reading about some issues with BI when running in a virtualized environment, don't remember the details! Is there...

    Blue Iris on a Unraid VM (Playback lag)

    Just to clarify this is running on a Virtual Machine and you are viewing the BI desktop using a virtualized console window, is that correct! Have you tired looking at the videos using a web browser from a real PC using the UI3 web page?

    Once you initialize the camera, you must put the UserID and password into the config tool, so that it can access the camera to change the IP

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    Did you run the "General_ConfigTool" from EmpireTech, if so what IP does it show for the Dahua camera? The Config tool MUST be run to configure the camera or the camera will not be accessible!

    BI - Run as a Windows service option ( login not being accepted )

    I suspect that it will not work with a PIN, you should set up a local admin account and stop using the stupid PIN login, you should be able to convert your PIN login to a local admin account!

    Play Exported Recordings From Multiple Cameras Simultaneously?

    I presume that you want to be able to play multiple MP4 files and have them all display time synced with each other, is that correct? I can't say that I have ever come across such a program, but I have never looked either!

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    What is your current CPU utilization and how many cameras, perhaps you don't need the utility that I don't ever recall hearing about and I have been reading the post for many years? I do recall posts that suggest things that will help reduce the CPU utilization if it is quite high.

    Detected HTML5 video player stall. Reopening video stream. (UI3)

    What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser program to see if it works any better? What is your network configuration? Are you using wireless to watch UI3? Are the cameras also wireless? Perhaps you are causing congestion on your wireless network with too much traffic?

    If you look on the AI screen; the second screen capture in your first posting, there is a check box for "Save AI analysis DAT files", that will toggle the saving of the DAT file on and off! That is also the same screen where you can turn on and off the Static object detection! To look at the...

    You have the DAT file analysis enabled, what does CAPI detect when the camera is triggered? <Ctrl> double click on the alert image or look in the CPAI log for a recent alert! Hopefully you are aware that the DAT files will eventually file your hard drive storage as BI does not automatically...

    Why would eset place these blue iris files in quarantine?

    Here is a link to the remover on the ESET web site, I have never found that any tool can read your windows license key, they all return just a generic key that is time limited and usually only used for temporary use! https://www.eset.com/us/download/tools-and-utilities/
