    HDD Failing - Re Installation Question

    I cannot find anything for that price locally (Toronto) I did find an i7 - 2600 with 8GB Ram for $200. Do you think that would work ? My current processor is an i5 - 2400S with 12 GB DDR3

    Hi There, I currently run Blue Iris on my 2011 iMac on a Windows partition (Windows 7 Pro) and have done for several years. The original HDD is showing signs that it is starting to fail. I need to figure out how to replace the HDD and get Windows back up and running which may take a while. Can...

    Tasker and BlueIris

    That's awesome news, I'm still finding that when I sometimes leave the house the profile switch doesn't trigger. Not quite sure why at this stage. I'm still very much learning with tasker Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk

    Tasker and BlueIris

    Excellent, I will look forward to reading more. I also with the help of another thread was able to get Blue Iris to switch profiles based on being near my home wifi network. This is a major win for me as Geofence just stopped working when I switched to using open vpn on a Raspberry Pi. Now...

    Does anyone know how to reduce the frame rate? I would like it to be at 15 like my 4 Amcrest cameras.

    Blue Iris Android w/ geofencing & notifications

    OK I figured out what the problem is, I connect to my BI server using a VPN on a Raspberry PI so the external WAN address although it is still in the Web Server setup screen the port is no longer forwarded on my router. I have to use the local IP address. I added a 5 second wait before the Get...

    Blue Iris Android w/ geofencing & notifications

    This is how the config looks in Tasker: Server Port: http://Myusename:Password@ServerIPaddress:Port Should there be /admin after the port? Path: /admin?profile=3&lock=2 Also I don't have the "use secure session keys and login page" disabled. I will try that

    Blue Iris Android w/ geofencing & notifications

    OK so I got tasker setup but the profile is not switching. When I hit the play button for the task to test it I get a green light. The only thing I am not sure if I have done correctly is the following: /admin?profile=3&lock=2 (I was trying to get it to switch to profile 3 and then hold it)

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    OK Thanks for the reply, I am also finding that the camera needs to be way closer to the router than when it was using the standard firmware which is going to limit where I can use it. I really only brought this to play around with the custom firmware. It is a shame because it isn't a bad...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I just ordered one of these and have it running in BI. How do yo get the night mode running? Also When I first set the camera up in BI it was disconnecting a heck of a lot. I messed around with some settings in the config page of the camera and I found that when I checked the "Decoder...

    Blue Iris Android w/ geofencing & notifications

    OK my fellow Countryman :) This sounds too good to be true lol. As soon as I get some spare time I will try this. So to make sure I am understanding this correctly you can have BI automatically switch profiles based on you being connected or disconnected from your home wifi?

    Blue Iris Android w/ geofencing & notifications

    I just came across this, My Geofence stopped working when I started using a VPN server to connect to BI. Do you create the "WiFi connected" profile in BI or in Tasker? Hopefully I can figure the rest out I am interested in trying this

    openvpn

    I have an older Asus router that I use to create a network specifically for my security cameras, Blue Iris and wink hub. I used a raspberry Pi to create an open VPN server, the beauty of this little box is that it is also a NAS with a 4TB Western Digital drive. It runs flawlessly and I connect...

    Cannot access camera feeds through android app

    I tried excluding the blue iris program and storage folders but still I cannot view the live feeds on my android devices, It worked perfectly with the 2018 version I had before the 2019 update was rolled out today.

    Cannot access camera feeds through android app

    OK That sucks, I have been using them both for several years without any issues. I am going to reinstall Bitdefender tomorrow and then I will call their technical support. It has to be a setting within the software. It's the best internet security suite and I would like to keep using it if I...

    Cannot access camera feeds through android app

    Hi All, Some weird things have happened today, first I lost all the the live feeds in my Blue Iris PC app. Somehow the model for my 4 Amcrest camera's got changed to ProHD RTSP/HTTP. I eventually figured this out and changed them back to the model that now works so I got the 4 live feeds back...

    Push notification delay increased recently

    I realize that, it was just a coincidence that I started having the issue when I switched over to using a VPN. I made the change this morning but haven't had the chance to test. Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk

    Push notification delay increased recently

    I have been experiencing exactly the same delay. I just switched over to using OpenVPN to remotely log in to my camera feeds and thought it was something to do with that change. I will try what you suggested as soon as I get a chance

    Galaxy S8+ Geofence Problem (Blue Iris App)

    I was in the same boat, I just switched over to using open VPN. I didn't have the geofence option in the settings menu. Then I went back and added the WAN address. Just make sure you stop forwarding any ports if you were previously using that method to access your cameras remotely. Sent from...

    VPN Question

    I am not sure what is wrong then as I said before I was getting instant push messages before I setup the OpenVPN server on this router. I would assume that the outgoing push notifications are not going through the VPN server on my router? I am only using VPN for inbound traffic to my Blue Iris...
