    Blue Iris UI3

    "served" is definitely right. The web server is serving the login page from the / path too now. I don't understand how this is a benefit to cybersecurity though.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    This is new "security" features noted in the changelog. https://blueirissoftware.com/changelog6.pdf Most likely you are getting hit by the "User-Agent" string validation which by default will block anything that does not pretend well enough to be a normal web browser. I already sent Ken a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    There is also a seeking mechanism I have seen on a (few) video players in the past where the further you drag your mouse pointer (or finger) from the seek bar while dragging, the slower the seeking gets. Like if you click the seek handle and drag up a few inches before moving left or right, the...

    Nope, although believe me I have thought about it, I have not implemented that because frankly people had not been asking for it and it is not super easy to do properly. You are getting hit by the new "security" features Ken added in 6.0.3.0. https://blueirissoftware.com/changelog6.pdf...

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    This is a situation I have to deal with often, so I have notes on how to automatically log in to Windows upon startup.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    Here are some snapshots. After just a few days, there is condensation behind the lenses. This is mounted indoors and subject to constant vibration so it should be interesting to see how long it lasts. It supports PTZ presets, but is not super precise in loading presets (the positioning is not...

    UniFi cameras suck here - do you see what I mean

    Yeah it almost looks like that cam doesn't have its IR enabled.

    Southwire Cat5e Cable

    That looks fine. It says it is solid copper conductors and $80 is about the right price for 500ft of cat5e anymore. You can get better price per foot going with a 1000ft spool, for example there's this one https://amazon.com/dp/B01KU9HUNK for $104 but it is unbranded so who knows what quality...

    VideoPlayToolSetup.exe for Annke WCD1012 or I91CS camera 2026-02-20

    This plugin/software was necessary in order to use the web interface for an Annke WCD1012 / I91CS camera. It was hosted by a Chinese cloud server which could disappear at any time, so for archival reasons, a zipped copy of the application is attached here. Original file URL...

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    It turns out this one is acceptable: ANNKE WCD1012 10MP Dual-Lens Outdoor Wireless WiFi PTZ Security Camera It cost just $60 and is a very light-weight plastic PTZ with quite decent optical zoom and a second fixed lens on top. The specs are incomplete, so allow me to add a few key points...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Clever solution to use a BI text overlay, because no, Blue Iris does not provide a way to know if direct to wire is working. You just have to judge based on things like the overlays being there or not, or comparing the bit rate of the stream against what it would be if direct-to-wire was not...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Ok the Intel laptop with Arc 130v graphics is able to play H.265 in UI3. In chrome:/gpu you should be looking for "hevc" not necessarily "h.265".

    Blue Iris UI3

    H.265 support is very complex and tricky. I'll try to explain what is going on. Every time UI3 requests a video stream from Blue Iris, UI3 tells Blue Iris these two things: which video codec(s) are supported (H.264, H.265, or both) which video codec is preferred by the user (H.264, H.265, or...

    Blue Iris on Linux

    I expect it to perform about the same as if you had a traditional Windows VM and were just using Blue Iris's local console through Remote Desktop (which is a pretty common setup). That is essentially what WinBoat is doing, although apparently with some trickery to make it only send individual...

    Blue Iris on Linux

    WinBoat looks like it should work fine, but it is just using a fairly standard virtual machine internally so you get the full overhead of a Windows installation. Apparently it uses Remote Desktop protocol somehow to load individual GUI apps from the Windows VM into the linux desktop...

    Blue Iris on Linux

    Folks have gotten Blue Iris to run in compatibility layers of some kind before but always with bugs and I believe also extra program crashes, which is no good.

    Had major Virus wipe out my entire Blue Iris.

    Hello. You don't need a new license. Just download the full installer from Blue Iris by Perspective Software LLC | Video Security and Webcam Software and reinstall and reactivate with the original license key. If you are lucky the configuration will still be in the windows registry, otherwise...

    IPV6 troubles

    I use pfSense. I think there was just a miscommunication. I had misunderstood your statement to be saying IPv6 firewall rules could not allow just one port and had to allow all traffic to a host (which obviously is incorrect). My mistake. IPv4 and IPv6 are totally separate addressing...

    IPV6 troubles

    That is untrue. Maybe for some bad router interface it is true. But in general IPv6 firewall rules are specific to port and protocol otherwise it would be silly. The first screenshot he posted was of his router's firewall rules for a machine named BlueIris Server. It didn't show anything but...

    Heh well that is funny. How did you get sidetracked on ipv6 then? You know ipv6 and ipv4 work at the same time.

    IPV6 troubles

    If you are doing this remote access just for yourself of devices you control, then you should honestly discard the whole IPv6 experiment and sign up for Tailscale free plan. Install Tailscale on the Blue Iris computer and on your phone and other devices you want to remote connect from. In...

    IPV6 troubles

    Are you saying the http URL in a web browser works with wifi off? Or does not work? The Blue Iris mobile app's ipv6 support is a totally unknown factor for me. All I can say is if you did the firewall rules all correctly then it will work in a web browser and then it SHOULD work in the Blue...

    IPV6 troubles

    I also don't know if Blue Iris's remote access test wizard supports IPv6 testing. I never use that wizard.

    IPV6 troubles

    By the way the exact same IPv6 address or URL should work both INSIDE your LAN and outside from the internet/cellular connection. So if it works on LAN but not through internet then you know the issue is with your router or ISP.

    IPV6 troubles

    Ok the screenshots don't really show everything I'd need to know to verify correct setup. Windows machines typically have many IPv6 addresses and many of them are temporary, e.g. here one day and gone the next. So if possible, use DHCPv6 in the router to reserve and assign a specific address...

    DHI-TPC-SD2241-T – Heat AI mode fire and flame detection filters do not stay enabled

    I remember them having strange issues with web browser compatibility before which caused certain settings to not be saved related to PTZ autotracking. Try with another web browser (Chrome / Firefox) or Pale Moon 32 bit edition (Pale Moon has an older code base, based on Firefox, and 32 bit...

    BI suddenly showing "Disabled"

    Yeah, remember when the all cameras pause button did not require a long press? Hell even after it started requiring a long press sometimes people hit it by accident. I wonder if there was a hotkey for it too. And back in the day you could drag a camera into a desktop frame that disappears...
