    Reliable Alternative To Geofencing

    Sorry it is a long weekend here in Toronto and I didn't get time to get to this. I am glad you got it working. That looks pretty much how I set things up. It pretty much works flawlessly for myself & my wife. There's a really good home assistant community. You can do so much with that software

    Sudden drop in FPS - 4 Cameras

    OK so one thing I do now now for sure is that the microwave definitely causes the fps to tank and the camera's to disconnect. I watched today as my wife used it and each time the same thing happened. Other than that I have monitored the camera status window all day and they have been rock solid...

    Sudden drop in FPS - 4 Cameras

    I know WiFi is not the ideal situation and you are probably correct. I reset the connection about 45 minutes ago and they are all rock solid. I just wondered if there were any settings in BI I could tweak

    Blue Iris Not Updating

    I have no idea how much other software costs so it's hard to compare. Anyway I had no intention of seeming arrogant. I looked at the Blue Iris site and under the downloads there was a line of text: If your support and maintenance have expired, please use Upgrade/Renew from Options before...
