I've been working with multiple vendors and hitting dead ends, and figured I'd come here to see if anyone has any recommendations. I have multiple sites that I need to protect (80 - 100 cameras) where I'd like the camera streams to be stored locally, but also simultaneously be stored in the...

I used to use Blue Iris with older D-Link cameras back before all the manufacturers made their cameras proprietary peddling their own cloud based recording subscriptions. I've since moved and several years later I now find myself needing to set up a few cameras once again. Since I want 24 hour...

That's good to know for the future, but not something I could have done, the motherboard and two drives failed on me. Thanks.

My server which runs Blue Iris suffered multiple hardware failures so I had to build a new one. During the process of testing the various Blue Iris backups I had made of the years, I finally found the one which I needed but at that point I got an error that I've "activated my key too many times"...

Ok, so once you all stop laughing... :) I came across a bunch of these webcams at Walmart for $20 each so I figured I'd pick up a few and see what I could do with them, maybe monitor a few blind spots at my house and add it to my Blue Iris setup. After plugging one in, it looks like it's made...

I've been having this issue for months and finally had enough and decided to research on here, but can't find a similar cause/solution. 90% of the time when I go to the alerts button which has a badge indicating new alerts are saved, when I click on the alerts button I get a blank screen and no...

So it winds up after I posed this, I was able to get rid of the error by disabling Audio which is not desired as I'd like it recorded... but for some reason BI doesn't like having audio enabled on this camera.

I'm having the same exact issue, I'm trying to use a Logitech C615 HD Webcam since I have maintenance coming into my apartment tomorrow and wanted to have it running and recording while they're here since I can't be home.. but even though I can view video through the OEM and third party apps, BI...

I have a D-Link 5029L and I noticed when adjusting the PTZ via Blue Iris it moves in large increments, but if I adjust it via the cam's webUI it moves with much finer detail. Is there a way to adjust this in Blue Iris?

Thanks, I'll give this a try! As it happens I spoke with my neighbor and they admitted to me that their car wasn't keyed but tree branches scratched their car and they just needed a police report to get the damage covered by insurance. Doesn't explain why they went to three neighbors telling...

Normally I would have done just that, as I did with a previous incident where someone stole packages off my porch. In this case, I need to provide all of my video to the police to show that *nothing* happened at any day or any time. I can't narrow it down. -Keith

It took me 10 hours just to copy the BRV files to an external drive, I'd imagine exporting them would take even longer, right? A viewer would be idea, but I guess that doesn't exist.

I'm in an unfortunate situation where a neighbor supposedly had their car keyed the day after I complained to them about ongoing noise problems coming from their apartment in the early morning hours, so naturally they're telling neighbors and police that I must have been the one to damage their...

Thanks, no I did not rename any cameras. I just have a week's worth where both of my cameras just don't show up in the clip list for some reason then re-appear again. I'm rebuilding the index right now, thanks!

I noticed today that even though I have the .bvr files on my drive and they are playable, they are not showing up on my clip-list. So a few questions: 1. Any idea why this happens? 2. Is there a way to re-build the index so it shows up? Thanks! -Keith

I wish putting up a sign would be a deterrent, but having two obvious cameras in plain view wasn't enough to stop this moron from stealing my packages the other day.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I already have two wireless cameras which I have turned the infrared off and depend on ambient lighting at night but it doesn't work great. I am going to look into outdoor infra-red lighting panels, I haven't gotten around to it yet but I'm figuring someone must make...

Thanks! Sounds like this is the one! Do you know if they make, or another company makes a similar version of this camera that's wireless? I forgot to include that in my original post. I'm mounting this in my window, turning off the infrared, and pointing it out. Hard wiring isn't an option for...

I live in an apartment complex that has had the occasional issue with theft of delivered packages from porches, break-ins on cars, and other issues. I put up my own security cameras (D-Link) which do the trick to an extent as I just caught a woman driving in and stealing packages off my porch...
