I lost power to a portion of my network, when the power was restored Blue Iris changed the IP of 2 of the 4 cameras that lost power to the ip of the router and the other 2 cameras to the IP of one of the 2 cameras that was changed to that of the router. I'm rolling back to the previous version of BI but just a heads up to other users and feedback for the BI folks if they actually read this forum.

Okay, so where are they? I have searched and this is the only thread I can find on it. Sorry to be so (insert insult here), but I am having this problem which results in having the same image twice in my lineup. Plus the lack of one camera.
Blue Iris Configuration changing spontaneously
I have been running Blue Iris for years. Recently two of my Cameras started changing configurations spontaneously. The cameras have an assigned IP address of 10.0.1.213 (TH_Pointing SE) And 10.0.1.215 (THNE) They are configured with that address in Blue IRIS and the cameras are visible for a...
BI changed camera IP addresses
Updated to BI 5.6.2 the other day on one of my BI systems. Last night, the IP addresses of 2 of the cameras was changed in the BI configuration. I usually reserve .50-.200 for DHCP and the addresses in BI was configured for IP addresses in the DHCP range but I would never have put my cameras in...
5.6.2 - September 23, 2022
5.6.2 - September 23, 2022 The Camera Discovery window now finds MAC addresses along with IP addresses. You also have the option of using the previous ONVIF discovery, or the new full LAN IP and port scan. With this, it should no longer be necessary to use the external website service Advanced...
Unless you like headaches or don't care to be a beta tester (which we do need and are thankful of those doing that), once you find a stable version of BI, resist the urge to update until they add something that is of value to you. Especially now with all the frequent changes trying to get SenseAI to work more seamlessly.
I am still on 5.5.something because Deepstack simply works for me and I have seen lots of issues with the new SenseAI and nothing new has been added since my version that I care about. Most here do not update and do not have auto update on and only update when something new is added they want. Previously I was on an older version until substreams were introduced and then I stayed on that stable version until DeepStack was added then I went to that stable version, and I am holding tight there until something is added that I feel I need or would enhance my system. This MAC address thing is good for some, but as you are seeing, it can also be a headache.
Many people here are still on Version 4 because that works for them.

Thanks for the references! Yeah, I’m going to back mine down to a previous version tonight. I do get “update happy”, so I’ll have to knock that off.Blue Iris Configuration changing spontaneously

It is easy to get update happy LOL - I have done it as well and then got burned, so now I resist it until something changes or I have a lot of time on my hands in case something goes bonkers LOL.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Goes for camera firmware updates as well.

I wouldn't think that is an NVR issue as I have observed cameras defaulting to DHCP on a power brownout. Which I see an installation doing that what is above if it is not a seperate network from the home internet network.
