I have 17 cameras on my BI system. If I manually trigger any of the cameras from the BI dashboard it will create an alert in the alerts menu on the left side and in the BI app on my phone. But no other alerts are created. The cameras are definitely being triggered. I have it set up to record the...

I currently have Amcrest 4K cameras on my house. They are good, but I'm wondering if there is something better. I particularly would like something better for my driveway cameras so I can read license plates more clearly. Here is what they currently look like. Does anyone know of a camera...

I have Blue Iris installed on a headless Windows 10 machine that is mounted in my server rack. When I need to do any configuration or access the machine I just use Google Remote Desktop to remote in. A few months ago I started having an issue where the Remote Desktop connection wouldn't...

I recently updated to 5.5.4.5 and I think it broke something. I record in "continuos + triggered" mode on all my cameras. Previously, my continuous video recordings (sub-stream) was being stored at Blue Iris/New and my triggered video stream (hihg-res) was being stored at Blue Iris/Alerts...

I'm having issues with the audio on my alerts being off I'm using Deepstack to identify a person, I trigger the camera if it sees a person. If my pre-buffer trigger is set to 5 seconds then the audio on the alert recording is off by 5 seconds. If I set the pre-trigger to 1 second the audio is...

Deepstack is pretty confident that my neighbor's tree is a person. Is there some way that I can tell Deepstack that this is a tree in order to improve its analysis of objects?

I built what I consider a beast of a computer to run Blue Iris in my new home CPU - Intel i9-10850K 3.60ghz Memory - 32GB of DDR4 2933 512GB SSD to run the OS and handle the Blue Iris DB Two 8TB Western Digital Purple hard drives in spanned configuration, giving me 14.5TB of usable storage I...

I have two drives on my BI PC. I created 3 folders for each drive in my clips and archiving settings. My cameras are all set to "continuous + triggered". I then set half the cameras to record to "New_1" and half to "New_2". My problem is that ALL my alerts (recordings due to motion) are...

I'm trying to set up geofencing on my Android for a new BI install. I have location permissions set to "allow all the time". In the server settings on the Android BI app I select "50m (optimal)" under the geofence radius, then I select "Server Location". I hit Done on the settings menu, then...

I am trying to get Home Assistant to receive alerts when motion is detected on a Blue Iris camera. Here is my Home Assistant configuration: binary_sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "KassCam Motion" state_topic: blue_iris/binary_sensor/kass_motion/state payload_on: "on" payload_off: "off"...

I have an old system still on Blue Iris 3. I built a new computer and installed Blue Iris 5 on it. Is there a way to transfer all my settings from BI3 to BI5? I've exported my settings from BI3 (settings>about menu). But it exports as a .reg file and doesn't do anything when I try to import it...

I'm trying to implement Stunnel so I can connect over HTTPS, mainly so I can cast my video feeds on a chromecast device. I'm having trouble getting it to work. It seems like the connection between BI and Stunnel keeps closing right away. Here is my BI config and the error I'm getting on my...

I am trying to use Blue Iris for a baby monitor. I have an Amcrest IP cam above her crib, Blue Iris installed on an old windows 7 Laptop (AMD Turion II Dual-Core M500 2.20ghz CPU with 8GB RAM), and the Blue Iris app installed on a rooted 7th gen Fire Tablet 8 connected over LAN. The baby cam is...

I have Blue Iris set up to send email alerts that include a snapshot jpg and a 10 second mp4 video. I'm getting the email with the jpg snapshot and a mp4 video, but the video is only 1 second long, if that. I have the system set to record on trigger (motion) and keep recording until there is...

If I log on to my Blue Iris system using a web browser over WAN everything works as expected. But, if I log on over WAN using my Blue Iris app on either iOS or Android I get the color bars on each camera view (see attached). However, if I log on over LAN it works fine. Also, I have a separate...

My IP Cameras do not record audio and they do not have an audio input. Would I be able to use an external microphone, like this one, plugged in to the mic jack on my computer to record audio in Blue Iris? Ideally, I would like to record audio from the same microphone on to all the camera...

We have a Blue Iris set-up with 4 cameras monitoring a grain storage facility on our farm. We built the computer with a AMD A8-5600K Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz processor and put 8GB of ram in it. I'm starting to wonder if that is not sufficient. Our CPU is consistently above 50% with some...

We use blue iris to monitor security cameras at our farm grain storage. We are also using the blue iris app to view one of the cameras while we load grain in the semi so we know when to move the truck or shut off grain flow when it's full. The problem is the video on the iPhone app is delayed...

I am looking for an office security solution and hoping Blue Iris may be a way to do it. I would like to have a keypad or RFID receiver that could be used to control Blue Iris. Ideally, each user could have a separate keypad code. When they exit the office they enter their code and that...

I have a Windows 7 machine with 8MB of RAM and a 3.6 Ghz CPU. It still doesn't seem to cut it. We are almost always seeing CPU usage at 100%. Is this not enough hardware? Or do I need to change some settings to ease up on my CPU? I have the cameras recording on motion and recording at 30fps.

I can not seem to get my web server setup to access Blue Iris over the internet. I can access it via a web browser over the LAN but not WAN. I have forwarded port 90 to the computer that Blue Iris is running on and made all the correct settings in the Blue Iris software. I have been getting...

Hoping someone can answer a quick question for me. I think I know the answer but want to make sure. Our family farm just built a new grain storage set-up about two miles from our main location. We want to set-up a security camera system with onsite video storage to prevent theft and catch...
