The BI mobile application makes it quite simple to record a video clip from archived footage (using the video icon during clip playback). I might be missing it, but is there a way to do this on the desktop via BI Admin? I have a clip that was recorded yesterday that is a few GB; too big to...

One of my installs has a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z mounted on a tree down by the client's driveway via direct burial CAT5e cable. When I installed it, everything tested fine and the camera was working as expected. Within the first few weeks the client reported the camera going offline every now and...

I have a number of Blue Iris systems out in the wild using the 5442 camera from Andy. Viewing the Live view directly on the camera admin UI shows smooth video, however, when I view the live video using my Blue Iris iOS app, I get jaggies every 20 seconds or so. I've checked and this occurs on...

This seems like a basic issue that I should be able to fix, but I'm down a few brain cells for various reasons I have a remote host that I cannot reach on my local network, but I can connect to the host from LTE as well as from any other network (ex: if I RDP to my office and try from there)...

I can't seem to use any version of BI beyond 5.2.5.3 without this happening to a few of my feeds. I've tried re-inspecting the video and it's good for a bit, but then the video gets all pixelated/pink like the attached image. Thank you

I am working with a local baseball league (non-profit) that wants to set up a few cameras to keep an eye on their baseball field. They're also wondering if they can have one camera set up to stream games to a small number (< 100) of users over the web. I'm good on getting the Blue Iris...

I need to allow a user in to one of my systems, but they only need access to one camera. If I create a unique username for them and limit them to a group via Users > Edit User > Access > Limit to camera groups... will that accomplish what I need? The result I want is for them to login via the...

EDIT: This sums it up pretty nicely --> Cannot access LAN with WAN address from within my LAN Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Original Post: I'm pulling my hair out over this one... I've got a Windows 10 (build 1903) machine running the latest Blue Iris (v5.x) sitting behind a Wave 2...

I have a HFW43000S that had its network jack removed due to corrosion. I've been trying to get a CAT5e keystone to work, but I don't think I have the wiring quite right. When I connect it to PoE, I hear a click, but the camera never registers on the network. I've checked for IP conflicts...

I have a three-camera install with one camera about 250-300' away from the POE switch. The long-distance camera has been working sufficiently for a few months, but every now and then the feed gets a little choppy. Over the weekend it just dropped off the network. It jumped back on early...

I typically do not use cameras that feature audio, but I have a friend that would like audio through Blue Iris. Are there are Dahua cameras that would support this? I'm looking int he $75-100 range. I only have CAT6 run to the camera locations, no option to run any additional wiring. Thank...

I have a six-camera system with five cameras set to 1080p @ 15 fps and one camera set to 1440p @ 25 fps. The cameras are all Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z. Encoding mode on the cameras is H.264H. If I view the camera FPS stats in Blue Iris Admin > Status > Cameras, I see the five 15 fps cameras...

I've got two different BI systems sending push notifications to my iOS device, but only one has thumbnails attached to the alerts. To be clear, I'm referring to when the alert shows on the lock screen/notification center. Off to the right of the notification is a small thumbnail of the alert...

I've tried to configure the motion detection to get around this, but I can find the right combination of settings to prevent an alert from being generated in the scenario shown in this video: I've increased the make time, changed the % of lighting change, etc. Is there a sure-fire way to...

I'm still learning the finer details of Blue Iris, so excuse the pedestrian question Is it possible to view stored video from the iOS mobile app? I have cameras that are recording continuously and it would be nice to be able to pull up each day from my phone. I have about three weeks of...

Can someone point me in the right direction for a junction box to use with IPC-HFW4431R-Z? Thank you

I'm having an issue where my alerts are 8-10 minutes delayed in reaching my iPhone. For example, I just drove up my driveway at 8:30 AM Eastern and did not get an alert on my phone until 8:38 AM Eastern. I can walk around my house and trigger all the cameras, but all the alerts are delayed...

I realize the browser interface and BI iOS app use the same port -- I'm wondering if it's possible to disable the interface that is available in a browser? I don't have any use for the browser version and I'd prefer if it were disabled all together. I only use the iOS app in my set up. Thanks!

My friend would like to add some hardware to his existing BlueIris system that would allow him to speak from his phone to a camera (or some sort of PoE device). Basically, if he sees someone doing something bad on his lawn, he wants to be able to yell at them from wherever he is -- over wifi or...

I just received a IPC-HFW4431R-Z. After install, I see the camera on my admin UI and BlueIris mobile app, but the zoom controls are not active in the BlueIris mobile app. Additionally, the zoom in and out controls are backwards on the admin UI. If I click zoom out (-) the camera zooms in...

I haven't been keeping up with the new Dahua models and need a recommendation for a family member residential install. My old 1.3 MP bullet-style cameras (HFW2100) have treated me well, but I'd like to hear if there's something newer in the $100 range that I should move to for this latest...

I have a customer that wants to have an LCD in his workshop that shows all the cameras configured in BlueIris. I don't want to have the BlueIris admin open and running all the time just to serve up the video feeds (not to mention the other parts of the UI would get in the way). Is there a...

Updated for the sake of clarity... I have a BlueIris instance that is giving me problems -- I cannot see my cameras when I connect to it from my iPhone or iPad while on my office WIFI network. If I disable WIFI on my phone and use LTE to connect, I have no problems. Here is what I see when I...

I recently bought a Dahua PTZ dome camera and, while it is functioning fine, I cannot adjust the overlay text via the browser administration interface. When I log in and go to Camera > Video > Overlay, the web page becomes unusable. I cannot toggle any settings, nor can I navigate away from...
