    BlueIris lost connection to all cams

    Since my last post, I have upgraded to the latest version of BI which did not resolve the issue. I received the following from BI support which so far may have resolved my issue. Run the service with your own Windows admin account, not the generic one. Make sure the BlueIris.exe is exempt from...

    BlueIris lost connection to all cams

    5.3.0.3 x64 in which I have been running for several years now. Right now things appear to be stable so maybe it was a fluke thing. If it happens again then I will purchase the update plan to get the latest version.

    Yes, it was BlueIris that was 99% utilization which resolved itself once I stopped and restarted the service.

    BlueIris lost connection to all cams

    So this afternoon, BI lost connection with all my cameras which is a mixture of Dahua and Amcrest. I can ping each camera and login to their interface. I rebooted the BI PC with no luck. I noticed the CPU Utilization was 100% so I stopped/restared the BI service. This seems to have fixed my...

    Router Config

    Everyone, thanks for the help. I was able to get Transparent Bridge mode up after a few struggles. Windstream/Kinetic didn't orignally give me an email address which is required for the PPoE credentials. Once I got this from Windstream everything went smoothly!

    Wyze Cam v3

    Anyone had any recent lucked getting the Wzye Cam v3 or similar to work with BI? I'm using all Dahua cams outside and a couple of Amcrest IP2M-841's inside for monitoring the pets. Was hoping for something a little more discrete indoors. Wyze physically would look better but I've read lots of...

    Backup Options

    Definitely....Monitored Alarm, 3 large indoor dogs (2 German Shepherds), and someone is almost always at home. I'm just kind of partial to my stuff and can't stand a thief!

    Backup Options

    Can't say I'm a firm believer in PC locks, at least not the ones I've seen made for laptops! Maybe something creative like a cable style bicycle lock. I'd just hate to lose the best chance at catching a thief should it ever occur. I'd thought about using Micro SD cards but was concerned about...

    VPN Synology NAS vs. Asus RT-AC1900P

    So after much tinkering with the network, I have confirmed that the Asus Router WAN port has died but also found that you can turn one of the LAN ports into a failover WAN. Got everything reconfigured and back going as it should be. Guess I'll buy another router at some point so that I can...

    VPN Synology NAS vs. Asus RT-AC1900P

    Yes, AT&T Uverse is the provider. I have to setup DMZ Mode and point it at the Asus router to make it work. Considering switching to Comcast to make life easier!

    VPN Synology NAS vs. Asus RT-AC1900P

    Thanks everyone. Setting up the Asus behind the AT&T modem was PIA the first time and only complicates the configuration. Not looking forward to it again but looks like I'm picking up a new router this weekend.

    VPN Synology NAS vs. Asus RT-AC1900P

    Question for the network guru's. My Asus RT-AC1900P appears to have died. It was setup behind an AT&T Modem so that I could use the VPN functionality of the RT-AC1900P. I also have a Synology DS218+ that has a built-in VPN Server. Part of the setup on the Synology requires that I forward a...

    Blue Iris & Windows Defender Firewall

    Not sure what happened but suddenly I couldn't access the BI Web server from anything but the host computer. I added an exception for Port 81 in Windows Defender and it now works. Is this safe or should I accomplish this some other way?

    I had thought about going this route but wasn't sure if they could cut such a small circle. Was going to check on Monday with a local place. Thanks, for the search tip! I had tried searching ebay but could find anything, looks like I wasn't searching for the write item!

    NVR vs dedicated PC

    I have personally built 2 systems in the past year, one with a Dahua NVR and the other with BI. I dislike the interface on the NVR and really prefer BI when reviewing the recordings. Just my personal preference but if I ever need another build it will be with BI.

    Day/Night Settings

    It could be an issue of natural light but it seems to take a long time once I turn the light on in my home office before it swaps back to color. I've played around with the settings but really haven't been able to improve it.
