    No recording / black timeline on continuous recording

    Better choices how? Does it fit in my particular window sill ok to look outside? Is it IR cut? How does the IR lights tape on it, or can I turn them off with software? Do they come in a color that works best for my situation? Is it wifi as well? Is it an easy set up for someone that is just...

    So you think that people would get offended if you looked down your nose at the only equipment choices they had a budget for? You don't say! At least you recognize that. But that was about gear so these snowflakes should just suck it up, right? What about when you told me to go read the manual...

    You don't get it, but it's alright. You get technology but not humans, I understand. Good luck with that bruh.

    As proper as the advice may be, it can still be delivered in a condescending tone, especially if it is unsolicited advice - ie, camera choice, processor choice, read the manual to not break the program, etc You've never had good advice with a bad delivery? haha

    That didn't do it either. I just reinstalled the program and it is now working correctly. Condescending tone all along the way aside, I appreciate the effort and tips.

    I noticed that I changed the database location as well because I wanted it on my storage array. Could this have caused the issue? I don't know what the default location is before I started messing around with it, otherwise I would try it out.

    Ok, so I tried unchecking "combine or cut video each" and it has had no effect. I have discovered, however, that it is indeed recording, and the recordings are available for viewing on Blue Iris (I didn't have them converted to anything else). They view very well too. But I just can't "rewind"...

    Thanks, I'll try this when I get home. My next system will be Intel no doubt so that's good to know. Foscam has the word "scam" in it for a reason but I can't complain for the price range and my limited circumstances in my home due to being a renter. Once I get my own place, I will...

    Hi all, just joined and I've been looking for a good robust solution for my security needs and I think Blue Iris is it. But since ipcams seem so fickle, I wanted to try the evaluation version of it. I heard it does everything the full version does except it has the watermark. I ran into an...
