    Screen layout no longer working

    What version are you currently using, do you know what prior version it was still working on? Some details might help! Is this on the BI console view or using UI3?

    So what version are you running, in the more recent versions AI is now on it own tab "AI" on the camera settings; I am not sure what version that took place!

    Just added a couple of DAS units to my BI server, but ran out of BI storage folders. What are my options? SOLVED

    Wow 480 TB, that is a lot of storage, what is the need for some much storage! What case did you use that has room for that many drives?

    Very confused by the Time line.

    Sorry I have never used or installed BI V4; Blue Iris 5 was released on May 31, 2019. You are using a version that might be 6 years old, I hope that there are some people here that remember how V 4 works!

    Trouble with Groups

    Just tested on Version 5.9.9.73 and created a new group and it is working fine and showed in UI3 immediately, how are you adding/creating the new group name?

    BI5 No Signal ... Decoder not initialized

    Are your 70' and 200' ethernet cables pure copper or CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum)? Do the cameras work if you connect them close to the POE switch?

    Loading Camera List Fail/Loading Timeline Busy

    Is BI running on your PC? Have you tried to reboot the BI PC? Did BI update recently & what version of BI are you currently running? Are you trying to access BI with UI3 from your local lan or from the internet? A few details might be useful to make some suggestions as to the problem!

    Running Bi and CPAI VMs

    I have seen it recommended that you use H264, not sure if this will have any effect for your issue!

    Blue Iris posting empty pictures randomly

    Look at the camera status window and make sure the FPS/Key rate is set to 1, might fix the problem if it is not set to 1

    Hikvision panoroma camera very slow to generate video stream

    Also try changing from VBR (Variable Bit Rate) to CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and see if that improves things

    Hikvision panoroma camera very slow to generate video stream

    Does the UI3 Web browser work OK on the BI PC or just the BI console?

    Hikvision panoroma camera very slow to generate video stream

    This sounds like more of a network issue than a BI one, can you connect the problem camera through a different switch to confirm, or swap a good camera with the problem camera? Your statement "When I want to view the stream of the camera remotely (cellphone or PC , internal network , but also...
