    IR LED button works in console, not BI mobile app

    I have a Foscam F19804W that has been working with BI for years but recently decided to stop switching from day to night mode (IR schedule). I can manually turn on/off the LEDs from the console and the Bi mobile app shows the IR status correctly, but the button has no control. I really want to...

    Unattended Startup help

    Ok, I know the answer is in the forum somewhere, I just can't find it. I had an older PC running BI, which was setup so that if there was a power glitch it would reboot, start BI service, and also allow RDP to function. Now, on a different PC running the latest Windows updates, I can't get...

    Anyone know how to revert to a previous minor update? They're not on the Blueirissoftware.com site. I also tried reverting to a previous backup reg file, but that didn't work either

    SD1A203T-GN vs SD52C225U-HNI

    I have to replace my soffit mounted camera SD29A204SN which is giving me a lot of trouble lately. I was impressed with the video in @nayr's review of the SD52C225U-HNI, especially at night and would like to get that unit or something with similar video qualities. A less expensive alternative...

    Geofence and VPN?

    Dahua PTZ dropping connection

    I have a Dahua PTZ that has been functioning well for almost 2 years, but in the last month or so, it has been dropping the connection repeatedly. I have changed the cable, which I initially thought helped, but not the case. I increased the buffer to 20, also no help. The frame rate is set at...

    Hello all, I am using geofence to switch between 2 global schedules. When I am away, the AWAY schedule allows 2 profiles to run, based on sunrise/sunset times. While at home, the Normal schedule runs a third profile constantly. Geofence does not change profiles, only schedules. Everything...

    Hello, My BI server is set up for hardware acceleration ( no VPP), the cams are using BI DVR, set for D-T-D. When D-T-D is selected, the Video encoder options are grayed out, which makes sense, but the Profiles/Config selections are not. If the video file is not being re-encoded, why are the...

    Demo user - major problem HELP!

    I'm playing around with the demo version and in the camera setting window, changed the x,y, values to a size larger than that of the webcam on my PC. Well, that stopped the BI program and now I can't restart it, getting the message shown below. Not a great experience so far! I'm thinking I'll...
