    Blue Iris Calendar in the "clips" section

    Okay, figured it out. I read the posts again from the similar problem I had last year. I had done and been recommended to run the "Repair DB" option In the "Blue Iris Status " Icon under the "Storage" tab. Last year that did not work for me so I forgot about it. On this year's problem it worked.

    Blue Iris Calendar in the "clips" section

    I have noticed something else. When I view the clips on each individual camera and just the clips for each camera will populate the red dot will come back. When I view all the camera clips where all the clips will populate then the red dot goes away. I had a similar issue last year and pin...

    Hello TonyR, Thank you for your Reply. If you mean logging on to a browser and entering IP address of a camera to view then yes, I can view the camera. I can also view cameras on the BI app in the network. But once I leave the office/network I can not log in and view. I am 99.9% sure I...

    Blue Iris WAN not working

    Hello All, My WAN/Remote access is not working correctly with Blue Iris. Using the remote access wizard it will not verify the server. It times out. I know it should read Blue Iris there and, of course, it does not. The trouble shoot guide states that router is forwarding port to a camera...

    hikvision IR

    Thank you all for your replies, All of the replies make sense. The camera description states Outdoor Day/Night. So I'm guessing Day/Night means no IR? But, as I stated before, and I know I need to do this at night, but during the day I can manually turn on the IR and the view will be in Black...

    Blue Iris Clips calendar not working correctly

    I am going to share this with you on what I learned. Previously I stated I disabled the camera I thought was causing our issue. I dropped the file limit size to something like 100 GB to delete all of the older recordings. A few days later I also deleted, manually, the file clips in the calendar...

    Blue Iris Clips Calendar issue

    I am going to through this out there to see if anyone knows. When the calendar does populate and I go back to previous dates and they have the red dot on the days with recordings.

    Calendar in Blue Iris is slow to populate

    OK, I'm going to share this with you. This morning I didn't get to the cameras until 9:00am rather than 8:00 ish. Once again, the calendar did not populate instantly. I didn't take as long as previous times though. So, I'm guessing there is a small window there that will allow me to view...
