    All camera windows change to “No Signal” after several hours/days of uptime.

    Blue iris v5 CPU usages goes to 100% and all camera windows change to “No Signal” after several hours/days of uptime. Restarting machine or force quitting BI from task manager fixes it. This started happening on v4 so I crossed fingers and updated to v5.3.1.5 but am having same problem...

    Missing Alerts on BI

    I'm missing occasional alerts that my Ring Floodlight is picking up. I'm wondering if there is a log or something I can refer to in order to troubleshoot if maybe my system saw it and ignored it or did not see it? I'd like to feel secure that I'm not missing stuff. TIA,

    New 4K PTZ 20X Optical Zoom from Alptop - Surprisingly good camera at $329

    Hey everyone, I hope you are all coping with the current craziness! Back in 2018, I posted a review of the 4K Hikvision which had great performance characteristics but at a quite hefty price tag and extremely large and heavy footprint. Since then, I've been scouring the web for ANY alternatives...

    Keep existing BNC cameras/cabling and install additional IP cameras with everything running off of Blue Iris?

    I've been doing some research into security cameras and it feels like a rabbit hole. Time consuming, but learning about all of this is kind of exciting. I realize that BNC is aging tech. I'm dealing with a large commercial building, so rewiring will be difficult for someone like me. This is not...

    Not recording at night - chunks of lost time

    I've just started using Blue Iris and I'm having a problem at night where it will not record video for a period of time. The cameras are working and do not go offline, they're just not getting recording. Both cameras are set for continuous recording, I have it set to make a new file every 4...

    Limiting space per drive, not per-folder basis

    Gripe warning: I dont understand why BI has option to limit space allocated on a per-folder basis. That isn't the reality for folders storing video, which is dynamic. Folders do not have space constraints in normal PC situations, the drives do. I'd be limiting my space if I limited say folders...

    BI and camera selections

    I am considering a Blue Iris solution for my new home when it's built. I haven't used any CCTV systems before. I know you can get purpose-built NVR's that have their brand of cameras. From what I can gather, each camera can be connected to via its IP address and from there various...
