So out of the blue today I see (pun kinda intended) I see “ALU” in blue across 9 of my 12 cameras. Odd. I look and I am on 5.6.x.x and there are newer versions, but my subscription lapsed in Oct ‘22. Things work fine, no new features have appealed to me, so I didn’t renew. After rebooting BI...

Hello I have a 5MP Amcrest Turret I got from Amazon in May. I notice that every ~7-10 days it is offline and I need to reboot it and it works. I've tested the Ethernet cable and its fine. I have literally 12 other cameras on my network (other brands) and zero issues. I have tried two...

I saw some older threads but they were from 2015/2016 Currently on BI v4. Before I upgrade to v5 I want to move to a new PC. Originally I was using BI for only 3-4 cameras, it is now up to 12 and it’s 4-5 year old PC and its suffering performance wise. I see some deals on i7-8700 HP’s with 8...

Gear involved - Dahua Turret - IPC-HDW5631R-ZE Texas WiFi Midspan Injector Cisco SG220 Switch (non PoE) Cisco SG300 Switch (PoE) IP camera that is showing some odd behavior. I used 2 different network testers to test the line and it came back good (My electrician tested it when he ran the...

Vivotek FD816CA-HF2 FD816CA-HF2 - Fixed Dome Network Camera - VIVOTEK Dahua IPC-HDB4431g http://br.dahuasecurity.com/download/dh-ipc-hdb4431g-as_datasheet_201704252.pdf I like the form as its small and I am using these for interior purposes. Neither have traditional IR and they mention...

What's the latest on what is possible? I am currently running BI on a Win 10 PC and I have 3 exterior cameras recording 24x7 and 2 cameras that only record when the alarm goes off because they are inside cameras and the thought is we only want them to record if the alarm is going off and there...

Attached are two images, one is the side of my house with my driveway, the other is a screen shot via blue iris so you can see what is visible from the camera. Doing home renovation and changing the siding and roof, so wondering if I should keep the camera where it is or move it. The siding...

Hi All, I have BI running on a Win 10 PC. I have a new Synology RS818+ and looking at best practices to back it up to the RS818+ and potentially the cloud too (have yet to pick a cloud service but the popular ones all work with Synology). I have reserved 5 TB on the Win 10 PC. That is...

I have two foscam 9821 v2. I never bothered to really study my network logs but I had some other issues and got a new router and been digging into the logs. These two cameras consistently drop and regain their IP almost like clock work every 10 mins. they were on 2.11.28. I updated one to...

So all of the sudden I no longer get a live stream in BI. On the desktop app, iOS app or on the Web client I only get a snapshot every ~5 seconds. This goes for all 5 of my cameras (4 different models - KT&C, Lilin, Foscam and Dahua) I've rebooted all cameras, switch, router, etc. BI is tied...

So a few days ago I noticed clips/alerts were not being saved anymore. The iOS app worked, desktop client worked, but nothing was being saved. I looked at the BI settings and somehow the clip/alert folder was changed to the G: drive and the E: Drive. this computer has C: and D:, no G: or E...

Are they necessary? vague question, I know :-) I am looking at some new exterior cameras. I notice some of the Dahua models have IR's but no IR Cut filter. Is that an issue with daytime images? Dahua get a lot of cred on this forum so I am assuming they compensate somehow? Can anyone...

All, Need your help. Looking for a fairly inexpensive PoE camera for indoor use. As you can see in the attached photo at the far right on the counter top is a foscam camera. It is eating up counter space plus an outlet. My electrician is coming over to do a few projects for me so i think...

When we leave for extended periods of time we leave our dog in a crate in the kitchen. I currently have a foscam sitting on a counter pointed at the crate. Its an eye sore, takes up room, etc on the counter. I'd love to mount something up in the corner like an Arlo but I am 99.9% sure those...

I have a KNC-HDi47 camera. I have played with all the filters/settings in the setup yet I cannot get a good photo. This one photo attached I just took and its a bright sunny day and it looks awful. I have 2 Lilin cameras and no issues with the color of the images. I've tried every mix and...

so my IP address changed somehow, I do not pay for a static IP address via my cable provider, yet in years my IP did not change. Anyways, BI was not connecting obviously. I got the new IP address. I couldnt update the app with just changing the IP address so I created a new server, and now...

Getting this error message - any ideas or helpful hints? Error with user authentication;Server says: 534-5.7.14 My searches online all led me to 2 step verification problem solving. I do not believe my GMAIL is configured that way.

So finally I wanted to "catch" something on my camera; nothing major, just someone who drove over my neighbors lawn and made some tire racks. And I *think* I figured out who, but the car stopped for about 15 seconds right where they would have driven onto the lawn. I had motion to stop...

Hello, I set up 2 Lilin an 2 Foscam cameras with the support here and things are great. I wanted to add a KNC-HDi47 http://www.ktncusa.com/ip/ip_miniature/knc-hdi47 to my BI Set up. I have all the ports forward correctly, I can access the camera on the Web, but I get "no signal" in BI. I've...

I noticed today the iOS app was not working on my phone. It has been working fine for weeks. I can still go to a URL on my local PC and pull up the local IP address an access the web version of BI. I logged in and it worked. When I click on the globe though it is bringing me to the setup...

Have been using it for about 18 months. 100% up time and no issues, just going in another direction. Instructions mention 2 TB hard drive, but I've had a 3 TB WD Red drive in from Day 1 with no issues. Selling WITHOUT Hard Drive for $400. Will add HD for another $75. Will accept Paypal...

I have my PC in a battery back up. I should get about 40 minutes of juice. However, if I am at work/vacation, etc (ie not home for more than 40 minutes) and there is a power outage, as of now I am SOL when the power comes back. I am going to go into my computer BIOS to set the feature to have...

So Fenderman was helpful to help view my 4 cameras, but only record 2 of them. And it works. The clips section only shows recording on motion based on those two cameras - perfect. That said I set up the mobile application and it has "alerts". All 4 cameras show alerts. I only want the two...

So I have 2 9821w V2 cameras. Both work. I can see them on my home network via a web browser, when out of the house I can see them on my Foscam app or my Live Cam app or my Control4 app. Blue Iris sees them. That said, I've used 4 different IP Scan tools - one of them just does not want...

Hi all New to BI here, just installed it today. Currently working with 4 cameras and looking to add a few more. I am interested in something simple such as record on motion if motion detected in a certain area....And then after ~3 weeks (or when my drive gets to X% full) start to...
