    After Migration to BI 5 , Profile set to schedule instead of hold

    So I had a geofence based profile switching where it says to hold one of the profile when inside geofence and another if out of it. Seems to be there in settings. It switches as well, but in the moblie app shows that it is the schedule/temp (Green clock icon) instead of hold (pause).. and...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Thanks.. I actually knew about the tool.. My question was actually more towards the BI website and to know which version is showing. As the time this post was updated with .46 I downloaded from their website and was still .45. And the file was still called blueiris.exe and thus was a bit...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Is there a repo where we can see the historical releases? Just downloaded and the EXE details tab in windows still says .45 . Don't want to install and test it so just in case as previous release had broken some stuff for me

    Profile settings lost after BI 5 upgrade

    Did the upgrade as per Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide But all the profiles are lost. New ones are Active and Work Hours. Maybe other settings are lost as well - I am not sure yet. Don't really want to recreate everything from scratch. How can we fix this? Have the old backup as per the guide.

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    Do you think its for my case as well? I don't see memory usage building up massively.. unless you think I haven't left it running long enough?

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    Have done some further testing on CPU usage.. So it is directly related to the HW acceleration for me. With it OFF the BI CPU hovers around 53% (did 2 restarts of service and left it running for 40min each). As soon as I turn it ON task manager drops the BI usage to about 30-33% but BI reports...

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    Have literally formatted my computer and restored BI - same issue.. Have raised a support request.. But a real bummer it worked for a bit after moving to direct to disc and then something has gone wrong and back to 100% CPU usage but in a wierd way task manager only reporting 30% usage :(

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    Do you mean memory climbs? no that is sitting at 1GB and task manager reports CPU of 30%.. but still, BI UI and others using 100% CPU reported So many threads.. can you elaborate? If its the one pointing to reinstalling display driver (Intel HD 5000) I have already tried that earlier today

    Another think I am seeing is (not sure if it was there before) In Blue Iris Status I have a 1) Yellow ! mark 2) # : 519 and increasing. 3) Object: Driveway 4) Message: PTZ: 12031: /PSIA/PTZ/channels/1/presets/7/goto This is still confusing the hell out of me

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    I am a bit lost.. All Cameras are set to H.264 and hardware acceleration is set to H.264 (No VPP). I have uninstalled and reinstalled BI, checked all settings like direct to disk and frame rate. Task Manager reports about 30% CPU usage from BI, but BI and other reporting 100% CPU.. Just climbs...

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    No.. Directly.. also the BI UI is reporting the same thing. But not task manager. No Ports left atm on switch but fair enough Still I don't see how this 100% CPU usage is happening? I mean it was good and then I dropped the bitrate to 4MB and suddenly the spike and 100% but task manager not...

    Hardware Review for 7 Camera Setup + DR

    Thanks I have done this for 6 cameras.. CPU is now 30%.. I am guessing because of this my 2 weeks 24x7 storage will drop to 1 week 24x7 recording history?? (720p -> 1080p) If that is the case can I tweak somewhere else? Or might drop some cameras (or all of them down to 720p).. How much loss...
