    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    That was it. Mo$%^$ F^%&%er. Thank you! Wierd how it worked before upgrading from V4 to V5. Can only guess it was a literal overlap on the phone app updating and losing that permission the same day I got around to upgrading the server software.

    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    Didn't work. These are old IP2m-841B. Made sure firmware was current. Tried yours and a lot of other camera configs. Mic option is grayed out on Android app. Everything else works perfectly.

    Can't send audio TO Amcrest cameras after upgrade to V5

    I've been running V3 then V4 for years without issue. I finally upgraded to V5 and lost the ability to send audio to my Amcrest cameras using the Android app. The mic icon is grayed out and cannot be selected. I can hear audio fine. I've tried all Amcrest profiles and nothing corrects this...

    Blue Iris in a VM? Yup no problem!

    I finally tested a setup on a VM and it is working way better than I expected. All the doom and gloom about even trying it gave me doubts and now I'm not sure I'll be going back to a hardware install. This is also just a home setup and always like to try different things. Previous setup was on...

    Record to 2 hard drives at once for backup.

    Could you use something like DFS in windows to duplicate files across different spaces? Have it record to a temp folder locally and let DFS duplicate them to the external drives. It should catch up when you reattach them. I've never tried this but was just a thought.

    BI on Sever 2012 E2 with QuickSync

    You might run into the same memory leak issues. I'm on a 7700k in Server 2012 and can't find drivers that work with Quicksync without memory leak issues. Seems Microsoft/Intel really want you on Windows 10 / Server 2016.

    cpu utilization of BI process rises up to 100%

    I have the 7700k (7th gen) on Win Server 2012r2 and can't get any of these preferred drivers installed. It shows the HD 630 chipset in device manager and all the drivers mentioned don't even list the 630 when tying to manually install it.

    Anyone running 8th gen Intel without memory leak problems in Blue Iris?

    I'm on a 7th gen 7700k with the HD630 graphics on Win Server 2012r2 and can't find a driver combo that prevents the memory leak issue. Even turning off the hardware encoding in blue iris didn't help. Had to switch to the generic microsoft driver to keep the memory from maxing out after a few hours.

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Mine is still on 554 and it is now working. They must have made some sort of changes behind the scenes in the mobile app or the main program on the last update as it just started working out of the blue. I've tried all sorts of things to get two way audio to work on these cams and essentially...

    Blue Iris Support - reachable?

    They responded to me and reset license and all is well. They got back to me in about 48 hours. Check your spam folders! Their email was sitting in my junk folder. The rep sent a message from a Gmail account. If anyone hasn't heard from them their mail could be in your junk folder too. I forgot...

    Blue Iris Support - reachable?

    I would do it now if I wasn't on the latest version already. I just need the license reset. Upgraded the server OS and virtualized the server at the same time and now the license won't register again. Have sent three or four emails from different accounts with all the registration info. Still no...

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    General use terminology..... Didn't know that about the VGA foscams. I hadn't tried them. They do (or did) have optical zoom on a few of the megapixel versions. Not mine apparently. Seems as of today, one of them doesn't have tilt any more either. So I guess it's just a "p" iece....

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Might I suggest you switch to PTZ? :) Security at critical spots are covered with appropriate gear. Foscams are 720p @ 15fps. We've done Skype and the like but isnt effective if they dont have the device on or aren't paying attention to it. The wired connectiom between cams and the WAN...

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    I use the PTZ cameras to help interact with the kids when I'm out of town. It gives them some visual feedback when we are talking. They know that I am looking and paying attention and they respond as if I were there. I also like the tighter view and detail versus a wide shot. They could be...

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Seems an odd recommendation to make without knowing how I use my cameras.

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    I'm on the latest BI software for the server and the phone. I've never been able to get two-way audio to work with the Foscams. Everything else is fine though. I'm about to replace the cameras as they've pretty much given up on life. Image quality, IR failures, etc... I'm looking at some other...

    360 degree dome cameras...

    I haven't gotten too deep in the camera documentation but they seem to indicate the camera itself can output fixed streams that are already de-warped for third party DVR. Something like four or five separate streams and you can PTZ them like a regular camera.

    360 degree dome cameras...

    So I've got a Foscam that died and is in an area where I'm using three of them to cover different spots. I was considering something like an Axis 0556 series that is a fixed 360 degree dome but can supposedly output different feeds based on different viewing points. Was hoping I could use one of...

    Blue Iris hacked and/or they are selling your email?

    I've already deleted that address so I'm good to go. I looked back at the first spam message and it came in about two weeks after updating my license to the new 4.0 version. Probably is the MyCommerce site selling off info to make that extra buck.....

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Still doesn't work. I actually moved BI to another box to consolidate two servers and the problem persists. I think it is just a bug in their android app.

    Blue Iris hacked and/or they are selling your email?

    I've been a BI customer for about a year or so and just started getting a flood of spam. All the spam is being sent to an email that was ONLY given to Blue Iris when I registered my software purchase. I never use my actual email for any online activities and create specific alias accounts for...

    USB Webcams for surveillance?

    I'm actually using two of the C310's with Blue Iris and so far they have been working pretty good. It has only been a week since I connected them but I've not had any disconnects or issues yet. I just wanted an extra view of the back yard to check on the kids when I travel. I had a pair of these...

    Issue with two-way audio on BI app with Foscam cameras

    Has anyone tried to use the two-way audio on the Blue Iris app for Android? Could you get it to work? Whenever I try to talk to one of the cameras the app will crash 95% of the time and force close. If it doesn't crash it will still not send audio to the camera. I MIGHT get some freaky garbled...
