Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"
Did you ever try this password resetting tool? GitHub - bp2008/HikPasswordHelper: A tool which exploits a backdoor in Hikvision camera firmwares circa 2014-2016 to help the owner change a forgotten password. It doesn't discover what the password was, but it may still be able to reset the...- bp2008

I doubt there's ever an official Blue Iris app for Apple TV. Too small of an audience to be worth their developer time.- bp2008

Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"
I doubt this is the exact tool people have been using, but it might work: GitHub - WormChickenWizard/hikvision-decrypter: A simple cross platform program written in C++ used for decrypting the configuration files created by Hikvision Security Cameras. Successor to my hikvision-xor-decrypter...- bp2008

But that would cause significant downtime, during which nothing new could be recorded. Oh wait. Happening already. -

Oops. Without an animation I forgot that swiping left means "go right". lmao. I will change the default behavior and add a reversing option. -
Looking for the best way to take a picture every hour on a few cameras
Be aware when pulling snapshots directly from cameras: The quality of the snapshot may be configurable in the camera's web interface, and will significantly affect the image file size. It can potentially be significantly higher quality than you could get from snapshotting the H.264/H.265 video...- bp2008

Another Available Previous Version
As of right now, the latest in the dropdown is 5.9.9.67. Then 5.9.9.59. Those are the only two in there from 2025. Blue Iris versioning is a bit of a mess. We can really only assume it follows the scheme of major.minor.build.revision or something, where incrementing an earlier (more... -
Blue Iris UI3
UI3-298 fixes screen keepalive when UI3 is loaded with plain HTTP. It does require a user interaction (clicking anywhere in UI3) before the browser will let it activate. Tested in Chrome on Android 16. Screen keepalive should now work with both HTTP and HTTPS, even when the video player is... -
Blue Iris UI3
This is finally implemented in UI3-297. It should be in the next Blue Iris update. I've updated the screen keepalive library (nosleep.js) in UI3-297. In previous UI3 releases, this nosleep.js library caused UI3 to put a tiny low-resource video player offscreen in an attempt to make the... -
Blue Iris UI3
Swipe left and right is on my issue tracker I think (as a feature request) but I am not eager to implement it because of the complexity to make it work very well. UI3 already has low level touch handling on the video player coded to pan the view when the video is zoomed in. So this would only... -
How would you do this install, that has a 3 ft crawl space?
I would suggest going to a tool rental shop, describe the project to them, and have them recommend a suitable drill. Then hopefully you can find the appropriate bits for it without having to shop online. Concrete drilling is pretty different from wood or even metal drilling. You need drill...- bp2008

Yes, they do, but they also add complexity and bugs and are just not as well tested as having those things turned off. -
STP Blocked Network Loop
I did some googling, and it seems that ubiquiti hardware has issues where it sometimes has false-positive loop detections using STP (spanning tree protocol) and therefore it disables ports that are not part of an actual loop...- bp2008

Providence, RI planning to install "noise cameras"; detected violators would receive ticket in the mail
I wonder how competently that is implemented. There will be false positives. How is one supposed to contest the issue? Do all the garbage trucks get dozens of tickets every day? What about thunderstorms, strong wind, an air conditioner falling out of a third-story window nearby? -
UI3, FPS drop to 2 above 1.5k res
I would also say that hardware acceleration often won't work properly with unusually high resolutions. 4x8k size whatever that means, is almost certainly an unusually high resolution. So I'd suggest disabling hardware decoding for that camera. If you enabled hardware encoding in BI settings >...- bp2008

STP Blocked Network Loop
"STP Blocked Network Loop" means your Unifi gateway thinks there is a loop on your network. There's a small chance the STP (spanning tree protocol) notification is a false positive detection, but it is definitely worth investigating. A network loop causes serious performance issues, sometimes...- bp2008

Blue Iris posting empty pictures randomly
For good measure, make sure "Hardware decode" is set to "No" in the Video tab. Also make sure "Limit decoding unless required" is unchecked. It also should not hurt to delete the camera from Blue Iris and add it again from scratch to make sure it has a 100% fresh configuration in case an... -
Anyone having recent OpenVPN problems?

Forum technical problems getting bad?
Hard to say exactly what is wrong unless Mike has said before. It does not feel like a hardware issue though and I'd think Mike would have already moved it to different hardware if he thought that would matter. My best guess is buggy forum software. Lots of software is fine and stable during... -
Auto-Maximize in UI3 - How to cycle between multiple simultaneous alerts?
Not possible without modifications to UI3 which I am not very interested in. I can explain why it works the way it works today. My thought process in designing this feature was something like this. I could make UI3 be eager to swap to newly triggered/alerted/etc cameras, or I could make it... -

Blue Iris Turning Itself off (exiting program) on pc by itself?
Blue Iris is unfortunately prone to crashing. You should go to Blue Iris Settings > Startup and have Blue Iris run as a Windows service. This will make it automatically restart when it crashes so you don't lose much time. -
Question About BI in different locations (how to view in different locations)
Ok, there are several things that could be wrong. Before anything else, go to Blue Iris web server settings and determine which port number it is listening on. I will assume it is port 81 because that is the default. Then, do each of these things: 1. On the Blue Iris machine, open Windows...
