    How to get BI to save alert jpg to folder when trigger happens

    Already spent a ridiculous amount of time and apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I tried setting each cam, in BI cam settings to post a jpeg to a folder on my pc that syncs to Google drive. My issue is that the image saved is delayed about 20 or 30 seconds after the initial...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    So I got a reply from the software company. And this is what I was told. " Each license or maintenance key includes 1 year of updates. You have installed a version that's "too new" for your current maintenance. Unfortunately at this time due to a server failure, we don't ourselves have access...

    Licensed version 5 keeps UN-registering

    Every day now, "Blue Iris Evaluation" keeps popping up. Super annoying. Had this copy of BI with same License running for a few years with no issues. Thinking BI is causing an issue. Anyone experience this? It does it at the same time everday.

    CPU Overloading

    You may be right but I wonder why it is never stepping back down. I will check the BIOS and see if there's something I can adjust.

    CPU Overloading

    Went through optimization and recommendations and it still pegs my CPU after opening a browser. Mostly seems like Chrome. I'm going to try using a different browser and avoiding chrome to see if it is resolved. Kind of weird how BI is what is showing intense CPU usage but only after opening and...

    CPU Overloading

    I have done nothing with optimization since getting this PC. All substreams are enabled.

    CPU Overloading

    I'm on 5.5.7.9. Randomly and often, BI tacks out my CPU. I have 12 camera feeds and the system usually runs about 27% or under. It seems after using a browser, my CPU is running at almost 100% with BI running. Not sure where to start but its super annoying and clips are jittery, jerky and just...

    Auto tracking Performance - SD4 vs SD5 vs SD8

    Mine (49225XA) is roughly 80% hit as far as tracking. I must have tweaked it 20,000 times to get the best results. Every field of view is different so what works for one may not work for others. Like it was mentioned here, use other cameras as spotters. This does not work for me because of...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Deepstack is greek to me. I really have to sit down and read through what it is all about.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Takes soooo much time to find the sweet spot. You will find that there will be so many little things you want to control but can't. I also experience the loss of track when a target stops however I find it is a double edged sword. There may be times when another target is at the home position...

    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera

    I am looking for a replacement / upgrade from my fixed camera and was eyeballing this camera. How has it been and can you offer any insight as to any issues?

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    Just want to say that this setup was working fine for weeks. Will try the wiki instructions this weekend.

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    Before whatever changed, all 8 cameras recording full time, CPU was hovering around 13%.

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    Not saying I7 means that much, just saying it isn't an 10 year old I3. Sub streams are implemented.

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    My backup BI laptop just can't work properly. it is a 2 year old. Dell XPS 9570 with I7 & 16G ram. It was really great when I used it for 4K video editing and other intensive applications. Haven't spent much time diagnosing but V5 is just not working right and continuously pegs the processor at...

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    Noticed that yesterday's latest stable update is no longer latest stable version. The latest stable version is now from June LOL. Glad to see at least they are working on it. Just have to laugh that I am attempting to create a backup plan of a backup plan and BI has been shitting the bed so...

    Blue Iris forcing updates?

    I have 2 machines running BI. I purchased 2 licenses. Both systems run on the same network. Both set to not update since I usually wait until absolutely necessary. Had problems caused by crappy updates so I shut it off. Here is what's annoying. Out of the blue, 2 cameras display "No Signal" in...

    Recommendation for a small format PTZ with optical zoom

    Had it ordered and now seeing it cant be mounted on a wall. That sucks. Not mounting another bulky thing off the house. The search continues.

    Recommendation for a small format PTZ with optical zoom

    Yea I do expect compromise. Maybe I will mount an IR illuminator. I am very aware of how bad domes reflect IR. It'll help keep spiders away so I will have to clam up and run another wire.

    Recommendation for a small format PTZ with optical zoom

    Thank you. Noticed in the review that other IR illumination was used for night captures. I was kind of hoping to have IR built in. I admit I am being lazy. I really don't want to have to mount other devices and run more cabling to power illuminators. Maybe asking for too much.

    Recommendation for a small format PTZ with optical zoom

    Hello all. I currently have a Dahua 5231 Varifocal in my back yard and although I want to go with a PTZ, I don't want to go with one requiring a mount like the larger ones with a bracket. My front yard PTZ is a Dahua 49225 which is excellent but I want a smaller format for the backyard. It's...

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    my newer Dahuas work fine, my 5231s (4) that are roughly 5 years old are the ones that are bastards. Maybe a FW update will resolve the issue. I shut off the automatic update checking cause this has caused so many problems.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    So have I and on this same PC. Something changed and it beats the F out of me what changed. All updates are off so no clue. If you ever end up with issues, the Palemoon 32 worked.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    Thank you for your input. Palemoon 32 bit worked. Glad it did. Couldn't setup the IVS rules and turn on motion detection after installing sd cards without a working browser. For the record, Opera, Firefox, IE, Chrome and Edge all failed to allow normal Dahua camera interface. WTFF!! ANNOYING

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    For years, this has been an issue. Used IE forever but for some reason, 2 of my cams completely done nothing after entering credentials. Tried the NACL plug in on Chrome.. doesn't work and Palemoons download page just errors out for the Americas installation. Been using Edge for months and it...

    V4 as a backup..2 newer Dahuas keep dropping out

    After having 2 interesting events happening and not being able to review them because of 1) unknown pc shutdown and 2) scheduled reboot at 2am missing an earthquake at 2:02am, I am attempting to have a backup. Long story short, on an old V4 version of BI, 2 newer Dahuas keep displaying "no...

    BI 5.4.9.7 problem or IE configuration problem on Dahua SD49225XA-HNR PTZ

    Weird.. had my 49225 set up to generic onvif too and on 5.4.9.8 there is no Dahua New V4.

    Where should i start to troubleshoot this problem?

    My 5241E is not a PTZ so needing an external power supply isn't the fix. In fact, I have 2 of these and both are powered with a POE+ switch but the one with the issue is attached to another POE+ switch down the line. The downstream switch has 2 cameras attached with only one having an issue...

    Where should i start to troubleshoot this problem?

    This isn't my case. Not saying it isn't tubac's problem though. I replaced a Dahua 5231 with a 5241E and my problem persisted. Completely thought it was the camera. I am leaning towards Looney's advice, that it may be the switch. What is weird is I swapped ports on the back of the switch between...

    Where should i start to troubleshoot this problem?

    Following. I have the same exact problem. Tried almost everything but apparently not what is needed. Just restarted BI tonight because it has been intermittently taching out my PC CPU. In 3 hours, my affected camera shows 5 no signal. Cable was replaced, tried switching ports on the POE with...
