Glad I found this because I was going to post the same thing. Running version 4 server and last few days could not log in on my mobile even while on the same network. Updated with new version of mobile app and it's fixed.

This looks to be resolved, although I didn't see any updates to my app since 3/3. Must have been a server-side bug.

I'm pretty sure this started happening with the new mobile app. It started vibrating my phone with no sound. I fussed around with the in-app settings as well as the Android notification settings with no luck. There were two "Motion Alerts" categories in Android. I made sure to set it to a...

Took about 15 minutes for Windows to update. Then after it rebooted I was greeted with this. Now I have to try to find my license key. Anyone else experienced this?

I have BI running on my main Optiplex machine. A few days ago a spare Dell i7 laptop was given to me. Currently I'm not re-compressing any of my clips for archival purpose due to the intense processing power, but I would like to start doing that so I can keep certain camera clips for months at...

Unlike many other apps, The Android BI app doesn't automatically clear the push notification after you've viewed a clip. I have to view the clip and then clear the notification manually each time. Is there a setting I'm missing or that's just how it works?

Let's say I want to buy a fixed lens camera that can cover a particular section outside my house. I want it to be very specific like from edge to edge of my property lines, very minimal to no skies. What tool can I use so I know exactly what lens characters to look for when shopping for a...

I got one of these from Fry's today for $42. I downloaded the device config tool and was able to see the camera on my local network assigned a 192.168.1.X address. However, when I try to access it from a web browser, I got a 400 error. Swann Thermal Sensing PIR Security Camera: 5MP Super HD...

I actually have two Chromecast dongles hooked up to two other TVs located throughout the house. That's why I'm casting it from the server.

I have two sessions of Chrome Tab casting active on my BI server. Over the last few days I noticed my CPU usage was way above normal. Chrome would be using around 25% and BI would be using around 65%. I followed every advice in the Optimizing Blue Iris CPU Usage to no avail. Then just now I...

I have a Dell Optiplex 990 with a i7-2600 processor. According to Intel it has the Quick Sync feature. I have 16 cameras in BI and no matter if I turn on or off Intel hardware acceleration I'm getting no difference in CPU usage. Most of my cameras are H.264 and all of them are saved direct to...

Any drawbacks to setting up a cam like this? It displays fine in Blue Iris.

All the while I've been focusing on Camera 2, but in fact you are right, Camera 1 is the culprit. I noticed the image quality is very jpegy and I decided to reboot the camera (auto maintenance off and it's been a while since I rebooted it). Well when it came back up the bit rate matches Camera...

Let's say I have a drive N: that I want to add to the drive pool. Drive N: is a 3TB drive with a bunch of other files already on it. I want to only add 1TB to the drive pool while leaving 2TB. Is there a way I can do that?

I just installed the trial version and set up a DrivePool. Thanks for the suggestion this seems like an awesome piece of software.

I doubt it's temperature related either. It's CBR and it's been consistently using the same amount of space day or night. About 4.39 GB per 1:40 of recording time, compared to the other camera 4.39 GB per 4:49 of recording time. I have to reboot Camera 2 once a day because the image would...

Definitely not because of the image. I put a piece of tape on both camera lens and nothing changed.

I have two Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A cameras. Camera 1 I bought from Aliexpress, and Camera 2 I bought from Amazon. Camera 2 is newer (V2 and has a later firmware). However, Camera 2, even though has the same setup as Camera 1, has almost 3x more bit rate as Camera 1. I cannot for the life of me...

I have 12 cameras of different resolution. I too record continuously. I'll spend some time to calculate the GB/day usage for each camera and then place them in different groups based on how much storage they use in order to keep the duration fairly constant among them while storing them on...

How did you set it up? Just set up different "groups" in Clips and Archiving and then in the Record tab of the cameras you just record to that group? Also, with this setup, wouldn't the footage for some of your cameras be kept longer than others since they all use slightly different amount of...

Just delete them? How else can I utilize all the spaces of all the drives? Put separate cameras onto different drives?

I have a 4TB (Internal) and two 3TB drives (via USB) for BI. I set up each of the drive as New, Stored, and Archive. The OS is running on its own SSD drive. As the drives fill up BI is constantly moving files from one drive to another, thus affecting playback performance if the clip being...

I RDP into my BI server. I have an older Dell Optiplex 990 with a i7 processor with 12 cameras (a mixture of 3MP to 1080P cameras). I think I know the cause of the frame skipping. It might be a drive fragmentation issue. I have a few 3TB drives and I only leave about 50GB of free space on...

I used to be able to consistently fast forward my video at 32x or 64x (or even faster) and it didn't skip a frame. But lately I'm getting a lot of skipped frames when I fast forward, sometimes I only get a frame once every minute or a few minutes, and overall even opening clips or playing clips...

I gave up on this. The same camera wound be OK in the day time but then the border would turn yellow at night and magically motion detection is turned off.

I've deleted all my clips and databases and moved my NEW folder to one of my other spinning drives while leaving the OS on my SSD. So far so good. No lockup yet. Probably something I should have done when I initially set up the system.

My OS is on the SSD, but so is the NEW folder. Do you think I should move the NEW folder to another drive as well?

That's just the TOTAL amount of data ever written to the drive since I got it about 6 months ago.

Over the last few days my BI server has been locking up intermittently, the web server would crash and clicking on things sometimes takes a while to respond. My drives are not running out of space and clips aren't missing as far as I can tell. I've rebooted the PC a few times, ran chkdsk...
