    blue iris cameras all of a sudden not working

    my setup has worked well until recently after a couple of blue iris updates, my cameras are not showing video output. at times, I get erratic video output, where I get a video feed then the video signal is lost. what's mind boggling for me is that when I try to roll-back to a BI version that I...

    No Signal - Signal dropped from Nest cams with Blue Iris

    already had that in mind but i am not keen on loosing money nor spending time to haggle getting these cameras sold.... i will just have to leave with them i guess in the next 5 years... :( reverting back to 4.5.1.3 and update to 4.5.1.6 fixed the problem but was shortlived.... had to revert...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Date and times are off... I've seen this before but i thought i was just seeing things beacause when i re-check dates and time synced with system time. Just wondering what setting i've messed up.

    car lights triggering cameras.

    i painstakingly printed the help file (v4 i think..its hard to find a .CHM file to print) so i can read and check and change settings... my hard copy of help file the wrong version perhaps. ive used A and HOTSPOT and set crossing to A>H but still triggers the cameras.

    car lights triggering cameras.

    how do i fine tune TRIGGER settings so that it does not trigger with just car lights? i have tried: - decreasing sensitivity to 1100 and contrast to 84 ( least sensitive) but cameras still get triggered when cars pass by. - enabled "camera is only active when extremely triggered , this...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    thank you for your time. I MAY have found the main culprit as well, ME!. I was logging in to my BI server remotely and everytime Im done tinkering with BI/BIT settings I would log out so this essentially was closing BIT as well. hence when I log back in, it took a long time to open BIT GUI...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I walked away from the computer to check on some bike stuff and when i came back, saw BIT starting to start. it took sometime to fully open and it updated itself... so im keeping my fingers crossed that my OVERLAY STAYS UP AND ACCURATE. which brings me to ask. is BIT supposed to be running...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    still no bueno! i have deleted both settings.ini files on both the "regular installation" and the "error-files only for issues" and BIT is still not running. is there a direct download link for the update or do i only get to update through the older version? i.e. from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 thanks.

    Blue Iris - Version 4.3.7

    if i remember it right, when i allow an update, BI updates and installs the update by itself and does not prompt me to save the update to a location.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Blue Iris - Version 4.3.7

    BI has prompted me for an 4.4.9.8 update.. wonder if its safe to update now. in lieu of the recent update snafu? how do you guys update? do you download the full install file from the BI website? wouldn't this mean de-activating your current BI version i.e. 4.4.2.0 or the usual way where you...

    camera mounting suggestions

    one of the things i am extremely leery of. as i may have mentioned before, i have been unlucky with overseas sellers. had DAHUA cameras been available at amazon at the least, i would have been on it..
