    One camera's border keeps flashing yellow and it's not detecting motion

    OK I physically rebooted my camera and it fixed it. Weird.

    One camera's border keeps flashing yellow and it's not detecting motion

    I should clarify. It's the border that's flashing yellow, not a yellow exclaimation point.

    One camera's border keeps flashing yellow and it's not detecting motion

    I have 12 cameras, all set up with motion detection and continuous recording. However, one of the camera's border keeps flashing yellow. I understand it flashes yellow when PTZ is enabled and motion detection is paused. But this camera is a fixed bullet camera and I've already disabled PTZ...

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    I'm still running 4.5.9.9. Has 4.6.0.2 been proven stable?

    OK I get your sarcasm now.

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    While I appreciate you describing the details of this workaround, it is far from what you classified as common sense. It's more of a convoluted way to getting around unstable releases. Auto-update, as far as I know, is turned on by default, so most users will get the latest release without...

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    While this technique might work, if every member on this forum starts to follow that then NOBODY would be trying out the latest version and we won't know if any new bug is released. I don't see this as a sustainable method. I'd rather bring back up the heated topic of having better QA each...

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    Wait a week or two for what? So 4.6.0.2 might come out a week later, but should I wait another week or two? How long should I wait to know what bugs are ironed out and what new bugs will be released? I don't get that logic.

    I updated it today. 4.6.0.0 was released 2 days ago. I only checked this thread after experiencing issues.

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    As soon as I updated from 4.5.9.9 to 4.6.0.0 I got the disk full error (c: drive ran to 2.5MB free) and all 3 weeks of my alerts are gone. I reverted back to 4.5.9.9 and they are still gone. I regenerated the db and didn't help. Pretty frustrated every other version I have to clean up all my...

    Version 4.5.9.7 -- Storage Errors?

    I have a folder just to store all previous versions of Blue Iris and I make it a habit to download the update from the website the moment I update Blue Iris. BI is a great piece of software but it does have a fair share of buggy releases. It's just easier to roll back than to wait for the next...

    Unauthorized users

    These two suspicious users popped up in my status today. Is this something I have to worry about? I have a pretty strong password and a custom port already.

    Possible to flush Q-see QCN7001B cameras with Dahua firmware?

    I have 4 older QCN7001B 1.2MP cameras that came with my Q-See NVR system a few years back. They are as far as I know just rebranded Dahua cameras. One of the features I wish it has is wide dynamic range. Does anyone know if there's any Dahua firmware out there that can give me that...

    4.5.8.0 keeps crashing and also when opening alert clips keeps getting unable to load clip errors.

    I installed 4.5.8.0 yesterday and was having a lot of issues opening alert clips. Kept getting the black screen with "unable to open clip" error. Soon after BI would crash and I'd need to kill it in task manager. I rolled it back to 4.5.7.4 and the problem immediately went away. Just...

    4.5.5.0 64bit constant camera drop outs

    So my Windows Time service stopped working once I installed the Creator update. Does NetTime also act as a NTP server or do I still need to use the Windows Time service?

    Is my camera fried?

    Turned out my IR filter is cracked. The Aliexpress seller is surprisingly helpful even 9 months post purchase. He will send me a replacement filter.

    Is my camera fried?

    Looks normal at night when it's black and white. I just went outside and used a flashlight to toggle the IR filter multiple times, still the same thing. I think part of the CCD might be fried. I'll replace it with something better or just change it to B/W full time.

    Database: Corrupt or disc error

    I ended up deleting all of my clips and db. That's the only way to fix it. Pretty annoyed about that.

    Database: Corrupt or disc error

    I have deleted the db folder and had it regenerate, still getting the error. I've also excluded all the Blue Iris folders from Windows Defender (including C:\BlueIris and the Blue Iris program folder). I even tested it by disabling Windows Defender completely but still no luck. What else can...

    Just got an email from Foscam re:Vulberabilities

    Me too. Luckily I have been phasing out my old 8910s. I only have 3 now. I have been using a fake Gateway and DNS hopefully that's enough to prevent the cameras from accessing the web.

    Any way to add an animated GIF on the camera feed?

    Lately Chromecast tab casting has been acting up and the image on my TV would freeze once in a while. That got me thinking, it would be nice to be able to add an animated spinning logo on one of the camera feeds so I know if the feed is live or not from a distance. I tried the overlay option...

    Router opinion needed...

    I'm also shopping for new router. My Linksys EA6300 (AC1200) is overheating on me and dropping connections. I need a recommendation of something other than Asus. I just tried an Asus RT-AC87U and the 5GHz dropped on me after two days. Also the router runs very hot. Second time I have an...

    Experiencing intermittent router issues. Am I overloading my cheap Linksys router?

    Rebooting doesn't help and the router is located on top of my TV stand with plenty of space around it. It happened again last night and it's almost always when I'm playing a Youtube video on my laptop. I would notice the YT video freezes and then a few seconds later chromecasts get...

    Experiencing intermittent router issues. Am I overloading my cheap Linksys router?

    It's only about a year old, but I have since added a lot of devices to it and I might have finally pushed its limits.

    Experiencing intermittent router issues. Am I overloading my cheap Linksys router?

    I have two Chromecasts connected to two TVs streaming camera feed from Blue Iris. Starting around a few days ago both Chromecasts would lose connection at the same time about twice a day, and every time required a re-casting. During that time, I also lose connection to the Internet and all of...

    Takes a long time to restart cameras.

    It used to be (a few months back) when I restart a camera the color bars would only show up for a few seconds before the camera picture shows. Now it's taking minutes to do the same thing. Anyone else seeing the same issue?

    4.5.5.0 64bit constant camera drop outs

    Cameras wouldn't allow blank gateway, so I typed in a fake address instead. I then set up a local NTP server for the time sync. Feels much better now. I followed this tutorial and got my BI server set up as a NTP in a few minutes. How to Create a Standalone NTP Server With Windows

    2 of my 3 POE cameras all fail at the same time.

    Everything is good now. I think the code was probably only set to run for a few days. Now I hope it won't come back again.
