I updated my 5231R-ZE to v16. The cam seems to be working fine, but I notice that I can no longer use Blue Iris (5.3.2.11) to adjust the varifocal zoom on the camera (which I like to do once in a while as site conditions change). See the screenshot attached. I go to, for example, "Zoom in"...

Thanks, SY. Can you explain this? How does your camera traffic bypass the router?

Impressive. Am I correct that IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP is FIXED LENS? Anyone know about availability of a VariFocal version of the same camera?

In case anyone is wondering, the issue turned out to be the following: My OVPN config file referenced a specific IP address (you can see this in the log file above). The OVPN config file should have referenced the URL created by the Dynamic DNS service. Apparently, my IP address changed...

Thanks for the thoughts. It's possible that my external IP has changed, but I use ASUS' dynamic DNS service, so I think that IP address changes would be updated automatically. Good question on the OVPN cert...how would I check for expiration?

For a couple of years or so, I've been able to access Blue Iris over VPN, using the built-in OpenVPN server in my ASUS router. Suddenly, I cannot connect. I changed nothing on my router, nor the VPN client on my phone. Any ideas? Log file on my phone shows: 18:20:38.336 -- ----- OpenVPN...

Thanks, Beep. I rolled back to an earlier Intel video driver after reading BP's wiki that you referenced. So far, it seems to have worked! Will keep an eye on CPU usage!

I recently ran the windows update feature, and so i'm currently running Windows 10, version 1809 (OS build 17763.253). Prior to Windows update, Blue Iris ran great with CPU usage typically around 15%. Following the Windows update, Blue Iris is dropping frames, and CPU usage is now around 70%...

Thanks, that definitely was the issue! So, "key" is really just the ratio of FPS to iFrame Interval. When I log into the Dahua camera to adjust settings, I notice that the Dahua camera interface defaults to an iFrame interval of 2x the frame rate (which Blue Iris calls "key" of 0.5)...

So, I've installed this Dahua cam, at the recommendation of many folks on this board. It works great, so thanks! One question, though. Sorry if this is a noob issue, but when I go into Status > Cameras on Blue Iris, I see a "key" value of 0.50. All of my other cams, show a "key value" of...

Without BlueIris GUI (or service) running (but with anti-virus software), power draw from the PC is roundly 18W. Oddly, there seems to be little difference in power draw between 1) BI service ON (monitor off) and 2) BI Full GUI ON (also with monitor off). Both are roundly 54W-55W. Perhaps...

I just manually disabled each of the cameras in BI. With all cameras disabled, and BI still running, CPU load was between 0%-1%.

Thanks for letting me know, wizen. I am surprised that this issue is not of greater concern on the forum.

Yes, I'm a few months behind in updates. Still the filesize increase is puzzling...can that all be attributed to UI3?

other recent updates were approximately half the size. anyone know the reason?

Does this exist? Back when built my Blue Iris system, the conventional wisdom was “avoid wireless cams”. Is this still the case? I have a need to temporarily mount a cam outdoors (viewing raccoons at night), and it would be far more convenient if it were wireless. (It’ll be within 40ft of my...

This morning I got a notification on my Android phone that Blue Iris was using "microphone" permissions in the background. Is this anything to be concerned about? See attached screenshot from phone

Rolling back to video driver 4664 seems to have fixed my issue. Thanks for the help, guys.

@ zebrock...very interesting. please keep us posted. i just rolled back to 4664, waiting to see if it helps...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, Windows evidently did a "critical update" on Wednesday. I tried to roll back using Windows system restore, but I got an error message saying something along the lines of: system restore failed. unable to access certain file. suggest disable anti-virus and try...

I've had BI running for months and my CPU almost never went above 19%. Today, my CPU usage is up and down, at times spiking to 70%, and I'm seeing dropped frames on my console view when that happens. It seems to be averaging 30%+ for the past half hour. Any ideas why this is suddenly...

Thanks again, Roger. I use Remote Desktop over both local LAN and via VPN, so I'm not using router-level port forward in either case. Still, from some online reading, it seems like not having a certificate allows for a "man in the middle" exploit, in the case where someone gains access to my...

Thanks, Roger, but that blog post seems targeted at Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. I'm running Win10.

I am suddenly experiencing a certificate error when using Windows Remote Desktop to connect from a remote PC to my Blue Iris PC. Remote Desktop had been working perfectly between these two PCs until yesterday, when both PCs went through a Windows 10 update (they were both already running Win10...

I'd recommend you buy Blue Iris directly from the developer. $60 is a bargain for what you get.

I used this guide to getting OpenVPN working between my Android device and ASUS router. (Thanks to boardmember @randytsuch) Randy : OpenVPN on a Asus router

Makes sense. Thanks!

Is there any downside to Fenderman's suggested approach of recording to bvr (which I already do), then adding the time stamp back when exporting direct to disk video? This approach is obviously simpler than using timesynctool, but I'm wondering if there some unrecognized benefit of using...

I have seen timesynctool mentioned in a few threads. I always wonder about the safety of software that is published by an unknown author. I'm not suggesting timesync tool is unsafe; in fact, it's been recommended on this forum by some of the most highly-regarded posters, so I feel pretty good...

Thanks again, MrRalph. I FINALLY got OpenVPN working again. On my ASUS RT-AC88U, I rolled back to the June 15 firmware, and I also updated the "OpenVPN Connect" app on my Android phone. It's hard to be certain at this point, but I think updating the app is what fixed the issue. On Google...
