    SOLVED! Delays in Receiving Pushover Alerts

    Ever since I started using Pushover (which has been at least a year), my alerts would sometimes be delayed. I have 16 cameras but there was no pattern as to when or where the delays would occur. They would often be around 10 to 20 minutes or more which was super frustrating. I think I...

    UI3 Freezes with 9 Camera Auto Cycle but fine with 16 Cameras

    I have 16 cameras -- everything is fine when I run UI3 with "All Camera Cycle" at 1080p VBR. I recently created a group of just my Outdoor cameras (9 of the 16) since I don't need to include the indoor cams in the auto cycle. But, when I select the Outdoor group cycle on UI3, it freezes...

    New POE Switch?

    My old switch crapped out on me last night just as I 'm heading out of town. I have 16 cameras (non-PTZ) and a PC running BI. I bought this Netgear 16-port GB switch at a local shop this morning and forgot that I needed an extra port for the BI PC :facepalm:. Would it be okay to just add a...

    Overallocated Storage error every few days?

    I've been running BI on a dedicated PC for a few years. Over the past few weeks, every few days my storage shows as overallocated (and recording stops) but I haven't changed anything lately. I first tried Repair DB but that didn't do anything. All I have to do is I restart my computer and...

    How to Turn Off Orange Rectangle that Highlights Trigger on SMS Alert Images?

    Last week my SMS alert images started to display the orange rectangle that highlights the object that triggered the alert. My guess is it started when my system was upgraded to 5.5.1.20 on 11/3. I checked my Motion Sensors and they're all set to "Do not highllight motion." Can someone please...

    VPN users -- How do you get Images with your Alerts?

    I just set up OpenVPN on my router and everything seems to be working well. However, when I'm not home, I don't get images with my push notifications from the Blue Iris app unless the VPN connection is activated on my phone. Is this how it's supposed to behave? Doesn't seem practical to have...

    BI Mobile Can't Connect to Server when ExpressVPN Activated on PC on Home Network

    I have a Verizon FIOS router (GP1100) and do NOT have a VPN on the router. I haven't done anything to the router except set Port Forwarding to: TCP any -> 81. I use these three devices for computing on this network: 1) Windows 10 PC dedicated to Blue Iris. Hardwired to the router. 2) Windows...

    Push Notifications -- How to get Sound to work?

    I had to reinstall BI (v5.3.8.17 and v3.0.18 on my Android phone) due to a hard drive crash. Everything seems to be running fine except the push notification sounds. I've set a unique sound for each camera in Configure Push Notification windows but the sound does not come through with the...

    Replacement PC: Optiplex SFF vs Mini-Tower and i7 vs i5?

    My old Dell XPS (i7-4770, 8gb) dedicated to Blue Iris crapped out. It did a good job but I'd like to get a cheap used Optiplex as a replacement. I have 16 -3MP Swann (Hikvision) cameras and record 24/7. I run Win10 and Blue Iris on an SSD, and record on a 4GB Purple hard drive. I'd like to...

    View settings for all cameras at same time?

    New BI user here and loving it compared to my NVR. I have 16 IP cameras and have been experimenting with the trigger setttings. Wondering if there's any way to view the existing settings of all the cameras in one place in order to compare them? I was hoping to export them into a spreadsheet...

    Convert NVR to a standalone PoE Switch?

    Hi all, I have a Swann NVR16-7095 that I've been using for a few years with 16 PoE ports built-in. I'd like to try moving from the NVR to Blue Iris. I already have a PC that I can dedicate to BI but not a PoE switch. Is there anyway that I can disable the NVR and use it solely as a PoE switch...

    Receiving Email Alerts But No Images Attached

    So, the good news is I've upgraded my NVR firmware and am now receiving email alerts when an event occurs (line crossing detection) to my gmail account. The bad news is after a while the emails do not include the images. This occurs when each Camera's Resolution is set for 2048*1536 and the...
