I renewed my Blue Iris maintenance contract on March 16th through an entity called Digital River GBP GMBH for $37.75. On March 25th, I noticed a charge on my credit card for 29.95 from “DRI*BlueIrisSharit.info myrdor.com MN”!!! So what is going on here. I already renewed my maintenance contract...

Do all Amcrest cameras work with Blue Iris? There is an Amcrest camera offered on Amazon with zoom, pan and tilt, etc. But, according to customer reviews, it will not work with Blue Iris and cannot be accessed with a browser on your pc. I am now hesitant to purchase any “outdoor” wifi camera...

I‘ve been searching through hundreds of threads, but perhaps I‘ve missed one addressing this issue. The app is working fine except I can’t delete clips or view the status page. ”Delete” is greyed out in the drop down menu. Also, I can’t view the status page; nothing happens when I touch the...

I've read all the way through the HIKVISION DOORBELL101 blog but could not find anything addressing this issue. Someone else mentioned this error, and the suggestion was to select the correct frames per second. This camera transmits at about 15 frames per second, but I get the same error no...

There is a huge thread regarding this camera, but after reading for several hours, I could not find anything regarding the audio. I actually have a Hikvision DS-HD1 which is the same unit with another label. I have good video in Blue Iris, but cannot get the audio to work. The camera works...

I cannot update Blue Iris. The release date on my copy is 5.3.5.12 (January 5, 2021), but the latest release date that I see when I do a Google search is 5.3.9.15 (March 16, 2021) I keep getting emails notifying me of a new release, but it will not download when I try. Any thoughts?

I am vacationing in Arizona and my Blue Iris Server is in Reno. Everything has been working flawlessly until a few days ago. Alerts are no longer recorded. The status log shows that while a camera has been triggered, a push error has occurred. It‘s not the app, because this is the same on my...

I did a search but could not find a satisfactory answer. I purchased an Anpvis camera which is actually a Hikvision PTZ-N2404I-DE3. I can get the two way audio (mic and speaker) to work via the camera's web page, but not though blue iris. I've tried various configurations but to no avail...

I've been struggling with this for a long time, and still have been unsuccessful in setting this feature up. I have performed the following steps. Am I missing something? 1. In the Blue Iris Options/Users page, I made sure that my user account was checked. 2. In the Blue Iris Options/Mobile...

I pursued past blogs, and couldn't find anything regarding this. If I missed it, I apologize. However, I notice people with a Ring camera get a sound notification that their camera has detected motion. However, I have to look at the app to see whether there are any new alerts. I have...

I guess the title of my post says it all. The app would not log onto my cameras. I logged onto my Blue Iris server PC, and found that the WAN address was different than the one the Blue Iris apps on my phone and my ipad. I updated them manually, and everything is fine. Is this a problem, or...

Happy New Year to you @fenderman. You have helped me many times in my struggles to understand IP cameras and Blue Iris. I have used your advice and it has helped me to install of a very good security camera system for my home. So, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

I have a Dahua IPC-HDW4300C camera that suddenly developed noisy audio. The noise presents itself as a snapping and cracleling superimposed over the audio. Has anyone experienced such a problem? I have replaced the faulty camera with another of the same model. It is a shame to throw a camera...

I have six Dahua IPC-HSW4300C and two IPC-HFW1320 cameras on my system. All work great except for one small problem. For some reason, when I choose the "Overlay" tab within "Video", most of the settings are covered with a live video shot that is populated wih four small black squares in one...

Just wondering if there is a problem with this version, or my computer. When I shut down and restart Blue Iris, I get the usual message that there is an update available. I click "yes". Well, this time, nothing happens.

I recently purchased a "Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell" but returned it when I found that it would not connect with Blue Iris. Does anyone know of a brand that does?

I replaced a Dahua camera because the power over Ethernet wasn't working. I removed the defunct Dahua camera from my system. This was known by Blue Iris as "camera 6". I logged onto the new Dahua camera and gave it the same IP address as the one removed. When I log onto Blue Iris, I get a...

I've been reading the help file, but haven't found the answer yet. My dedicated BI computer has a 500gb hard drive. If the space on this drive allocated for clips becomes full, does BI overwrite the old ones?

I have eliminated most of my Logitech Alert cameras and have replaced them with Dahua cameras. I record 24/7 with a Dahua NVR, and use Blue Iris for alerts and remote viewing. I still have two Logitech cameras and have to use Logitech’s program “Alert Commander” to view them. I have been...

I now have a pc that is dedicated to running only Blue Iris. Since I am not "surfing the internet", emailing, or doing anything else with this pc, I have concluded that I don't need any virus software running on this pc. Is this a safe assumption, or am I full of it?

So far (I have my fingers crossed) I have solid video from my four IPC-HDW4300C cameras! I achieved this by disabling the audio! I believe that the loss of video was due to bandwidth limitations of my network. I tried to remedy this by lowering the resolution, frame rate and bit rate to no...

There is an item within the Dahua setup menu labelled "Auto Maintain". When selected, there appears a single tab with two check boxes. One check box is labeled "Auto Reboot", and the other check box is labeled "Auto Delete Old Files". When the "Auto Reboot" box is checked, a submenu pops up...

Two of my Dahua cameras are IPC-HDW4300C. Every few days, when I try to access the cameras live stream video, one of them offers the message "Resources Limited, Open Video Fail". I can access the web interface, but cannot view the live stream other than this message. My only option at this...

I have a Dahua NVR. Is it possible to hear audio (from Dahua cameras that have audio) from the NVR. Of course, the documentation is not there because this camera is not marketed for the end user market like me. I can live with that. So...looking at the back of my NVR, I see two RCA jacks...

I just purchased Blue Iris. I purchased it to evaluate it as compared to an NVR. Currently, I have a Dahua NVR up and running. I can access all of my cameras from this NVR on the internet, and everything is working great. I only have to forward port 37777 to view my cameras, and port 554 to...

I purchased a Dahua IPC-HFW5302 bullet camera to hang over my garage. It's working fine except that the field of view isn't as wide as I would like, even with the zoom at its lowest setting. Does anyone know whether anyone sells something like a wide angle lens for this type of camera?

My third Dahua camera had to have an audio input, so I purchased the IPC-HFW5302C. It has a pigtail with an RCA input. Just to test it, I borrowed the microphone from my desktop computer that has a 1/8 in. jack. I used jumpers to connect the microphone to the camera, but get no audio. If I...

I just received a Dahua camera from Forward-USA. All the firmware is in Chinese. I was surprised since the other cameras I have purchased were in English. I got these through Amazon, and am in the process of returning them. I will purchased my next camera from Nelly's Security, like I did my...

I have been struggling with the Video Detect settings for quite awhile. Specifically, the "Area->Setup" settings. BTW, I have two IPC-HFW4300S-V2 cameras that I have been experimenting with. Anyway, the menu gives you four "Regions" to define with their own sensitivity and threshold settings...

I've got the new Dahua NVR4208 NVR up and recording my two Dahua IPC-HFW4300S cameras! The trickiest part for me was adjusting the "Motion Detect" settings for each camera. A nice feature of these Dahua cameras is that you can define four separate areas with their own sensitivity and...
