    Blue Iris not updating

    Follow up- I didn't have an ad-blocker on my security server. When trying to download 64-bit 5.9.9.90, got hit with a few pop-up porn images, before taking over the browser. Beware. Other than that, I am now successfully updated to 5.9.9.90.

    Blue Iris not updating

    Thanks- At first I thought BI was shutting down, and the update process was not starting. But in EventViewer, it is crashing. I am also seeing it crash when hitting "ESC" to get out of full screen mode. Will try to update manually

    Blue Iris not updating

    Currently on 5.9.9.87 Getting window showing that I can "Install latest update available 5.9.9.90 (10/5/2025)" Selecting basically shuts down Blue Iris, but does not update. I can manually restart, which then again lets me know an update is available.

    DH-IPC-HDW2231R-ZS dead?

    Thank you. This looks to be a great replacement. Is there an upgraded version with Vari-focal? I am thinking this? https://www.amazon.com/EmpireTech-IPC-T5442T-ZE-Vari-Focal-Eyeball-Starlight/dp/B08C77TNY9?th=1 Also, for anyone that has used both, is the extra cost worth the upgrade?

    DH-IPC-HDW2231R-ZS dead?

    Thanks all. Removed camera, and I can see a little discoloration on the Cat5 on two of the pins which looks like an arc... most likely internal short. Everything else very clean (this camera is on a patio, but under a patio ceiling- very well protected. No direct exposure to rain, etc. CAT5...

    DH-IPC-HDW2231R-ZS dead?

    As a follow up, can anyone recommend an adequate similar replacement? Or even an upgrade recommendation? This is for the front of the house (driveway coverage)

    DH-IPC-HDW2231R-ZS dead?

    Camera is no longer feeding Blue Iris... physically the IR lights are no longer on. The corresponding POE port on switch is not lit... and doesn't light when I plug a working device into it. And plugging the dead camera into any other ports doesn't change anything. So is seems like the camera...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hopefully someone will come out with a suitable replacement cam. (for the record, I've been 100% satisfied with this since purchase in 2020-NOV. Would've bought another if they were still sold)

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Does anyone know if parts are available for this doorbell camera? The center plastic "dome" is all cracked- I am thinking from Florida sun. I reached out to Nelly's, and they are seeing if they have any from old units. Thanks!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    ... Downgraded to version 3.0.2.6 (from Nelly's website), and the options are now there. Thank you! Lesson learned: When you first run the Batch Configuration tool from Nelly's website, you will be prompted to upgrade. Don't upgrade, as when I did I lost some configuration options. ...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi- I just installed a new Nelly's DB2. I used the Guarding VIsion app on iPhone to walk me through, connect to WIFI, etc. I was able to connect to Blue Iris without issue. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to setthe time (it is one hour behind). I installed the Batch Configuration...

    No access through iOS app over cellular after upgrade to v5

    Thanks. Cellular data is on (globally) and also for the app. I have no issue with VPN connection (over WIFI or cellular). When connected through VPN over cellular, I can get to the BI web interface. But the mobile app will not connect unless on WIFI. I had no issues with this until I...
