    Can anyone identify the errors/alerts?

    Every time I. Login to BI’s app, I have 6-8 errors or alerts and I can’t identify them in the log. Would anyone mind taking a look at these and see what problems may be? BI runs/operates fine.

    RAM upgrade

    PSA: Upgrading your ram is a TREMENDOUSLY great idea. I bought a cheap i5-8500 off eBay with 8gb. I just dropped in 32gb and holy shit! The machine is noticeably faster. The UI3 operates smoother/quicker. I wish I’d have done this when I got it.

    Split camera screen

    Not sure if this is an app or BI issue. But, The camera view on a recently installed camera is split. Anyone know of a fix for this? I tried using Dahua instead of generic when using the find/inspect function. They are T5842T-ZE PoE 8MP

    Hey guys, I see there’s a few of these for sale in the classified section. I also see the have less RAM and ROM than the S3 version. Typically, do these have a pretty good lifespan or are they less durable because of the less memory?

    Changing zoom on Z12E camera day/night

    I’ve been using the day/night utility for my Z12E cameras. However, on one of them I’d like to go from being zoomed all the way in during the day to being almost being completely zoomed out during the night. When toggling between my #1 and #2 profiles (day/night) both zoom and focus stay the...

    Hey everybody, I’ve been unable to connect to my app on wan. The UI3 works fine both lan and wan. When attempting to connect using the app on wan, the app just keeps giving me a constant “connecting” with the occasional “retrying”. The app does fine on LAN. All ip(s) are correct and the key...

    Unable to re-enable camera groups in app.

    Good afternoon, I’m using the most current version of BI. I’ve got a group of cameras that I’d like to be able to disable and re-enable when walking in my backyard. The group disables from the app without issue. However, when re-enabling them, I have to toggle them individually. I’m not sure...

    Lightning strike and POE switch

    I just had an EXTREMELY close lightning strike. I checked and three cameras on one switch were down. I cycled the switch twice and cams are up and running. We never lost power. Not even a flicker. Should I replace the switch? Is there likely damage to my cameras?

    Motion detection triggering during PTZ movement

    One of my PTZs is triggering a motion detected event when returning from any of my presets. I’ve got the “suspend motion detection while moving” box checked. I left the default time the ptz can move to 10 seconds. However, when the ptz returns home, I still get an alert. Any idea what I’m missing?

    Ptz going to preset but not being called by spotter.

    I have a ptz being called to a preset. HOWEVER, I’m not sure why. When the ptz senses motion, it triggers a group (only the ptz and one spotter are in the group) and goes to the preset for that spotter/group. I have no alerts setup in BI on that ptz. The ptz is the one triggering and going to...

    Making PTZ go to newest trigger from spotter

    Is there a way to make a ptz go to the newest alert from a given spotter cam? I don’t have one spotter camera that really takes priority over the other. Should I just got to the PTZ tab and select the “cancel alerts when this preset is active” for each preset?

    SD49425 SD card recording

    Good evening everyone! My Sd49425 won’t stop recording to it’s sd card. All my other cameras record events only to their sd(s). This little guy won’t stop recording because the unticked “general box” won’t stay unticked under storage-schedule-record. I’m using IE and I’ve tried to change the...

    PTZ preset shifting

    Hey everybody! I’ve got an SD49225XA-HNR ptz that has started shifting its preset slightly. Before I take the camera down, has this happened to any of you? I don’t think the clamps on the pole are loose but, I can’t think of another reason for it to shift. Thanks for any explanation or...

    Unable to connect to BI through app

    Good afternoon, I need some help. I am unable to access blue Iris through my lan or wan using the Blue Iris app. While using my LAN, the number of alerts was able to be updated using the app. It went from 200 and some to 400 and some. The cameras/app never completely opened though. However, on...

    Day/night profiles for an SD49425XB-HNR

    I used the sunset/sunrise scheduler and set presets for 25 minutes before sunrise and 25 minutes after sunset. Works like a champ. As it stands, I have three items on the schedule: sunrise, sunset and PTZ return to specified preset. However, my ptz won’t return home to where I want it to go. The...

    Using watchdog to alert PTZ?

    I've got two ptz cameras and a couple of spotter cams. My two PTZs are in sight of one another as are the spotter cams. Am I able to use watchdog to change my ptz to a preset based on which camera has been disconnected/damaged?

    PTZ going to preset at startup

    I bought a second BI license for another computer. Two issues I can’t work out (go figure lol). The first, when I login to BI my PTZ goes to a specific store preset on start up. I have no schedules and it’s not in the cameras gui to do this. I’d like the camera to stay where I left it. I’ve...

    Camera not recording to SD card

    I’ve got a camera not recording to an SD card. My initial issue was that the camera was not overwriting and would stop recording all together. I formatted the FAT32 SD card and now nothing will record to it. This is in a Z12E. I have the same card in another Z12E and it operates as expected by...

    Good afternoon, I’m having a playback issue with an ipc-t5442t-ze stating that the Current video play is poor. BI is receiving triggers and displaying them without issue.

    Pixelation triggering motion

    Good afternoon, I have two separate cameras that become pixelated at times and appear to go from light to dark and trigger motion. I understand why it’s being triggered, what could I do to stop it? On one of the cameras, the pixelation also causes an IVS trigger. Is this Dahua related and/or a...

    Setting BI to record motion during day only

    Good evening, Is there a way to set blue Iris to only record motion during a specific schedule? Can something be added to this utility to not use motion detection during the night time settings? This is for a Z12E camera. I’m able to isolate the exact zone with very few false alarms and the...

    DOD viewing of Blue Iris

    Any federal employees viewed BI UI3 from a workplace computer? I don’t see a problem with it. I haven’t tried it but I know everything I look at is monitored. Obviously I have nothing I’m concerned with anyone seeing on my cameras, I wasn’t sure if it was frowned upon?

    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    Is it possible to have a PTZ camera stay in a preset after being triggered to go there by a spotter cam? Specifically when/while the PTZ is being actively triggered by an IVS rule? I ask because my PTZ returns to its home designation while being triggered. I changed the amount of time the PTZ...
