UI3 Fail Getting Camera List, Busy Loading Timeline Loop.. Repeats.
Try BiUpdateHelper which has a button you can click to read the license key from the registry (after you've imported from your .reg file). If attempting to reactivate has wiped your registration key out of the registry, you'll need to reimport from your .reg backup. (then use BiUpdateHelper...- bp2008

Blue Iris UI3
That camera group is most likely configured to be a fixed aspect ratio in Blue Iris, which disables UI3's ability to demand its own aspect ratio. Use Blue Iris's edit layout button, then right click in its video area and find the group-level aspect ratio control. -
Blue Iris UI3
Indeed, all I'd know how to do is what you are already trying. When you've created your fake narrow/tall cameras, go into Blue Iris's layout editor and right click the fake cams and make sure they were not assigned a "Height" of "2x" as Blue Iris has been known to do with cameras it thinks are... -
What is causing this issue?
That is not necessarily true. TCP guarantees delivery of data packets in the correct order and with no packets missing or corrupted. Packet loss on the network can cause the stream to slow down and become delayed temporarily as packets are retransmitted, so it is not great for low latency live... -
H4C blue iris P and T setting

What is causing this issue?
Many years ago I used to have a problem just like that with a Chinese camera that was corrupting its own video stream due to buggy firmware. The only way to fix it was to upgrade the firmware to something with the bug fixed. Since there are so many things that can possibly go wrong, it is... -
Tailscale - Now up to 6 Users
Very cool. This prompted me to finish adding the rest of my remote devices to tailscale so they will still be reachable when zerotier decides to neuter the free tier a little more.- bp2008

If the VPN is configured to route all traffic through the VPN tunnel then it should be no surprise if local things stop working.- bp2008

Blue Iris UI3
A few things: In UI3, right click the group video, choose Group Settings. There, you can disable Fit to Viewport and lock in a specific aspect ratio. Tune to your taste. In Blue Iris local console, click the Edit Layout button in the top bar next to the group list dropdown. Then right click... -
Blue Iris UI3
No :( You can only do that from the local console, in the camera settings > PTZ > Edit presets. Select a preset there and click the little photograph button and BI will capture a new thumbnail. -
OMG Thermal!
Neat. I've never seen any of my thermal cams close a shutter due to a high temperature object in view. But I'm not sure mine have ever seen a bonfire. :lmao: They have, however, seen the sun on pretty much a daily basis. -
FPS fluctuations in UI3
There are a number of possible causes. It is a low latency streaming pipeline, so brief network interruptions will cause FPS to drop, recover, go above its normal FPS as the stream "catches up", and then level off. Blue Iris is also usually transcoding the video in realtime from the source... -
NACL and direct camera access
Pale Moon 32 bit is my go-to web browser for older cameras that need web plugins. Although some older cams actually do require Internet Explorer. The vast majority of cameras I've used do not require a plugin for editing the IP address, and let me skip the prompt to install the plugin.- bp2008

Acceleration for Built-in AI?
Nvidia 700 series graphics cards are 13 years old and out of driver support. Those are particularly low end models too with low memory bandwidth. I wouldn't expect them to accelerate anything. Best you could hope for is to offload some of the work from the CPU and system RAM, but even then I... -
Suggestions for protecting the CCTV imaging cell from direct sunlight
I would not worry about it too much. The sensor damage is minor in my experience and is isolated to areas where the sun was directly visible. Here's my IPC-Color4K-X that gets lots of direct sun exposure. Do you see this dark curve through the center of the view? That is the path of the... -
What Was Your FIRST CCTV System?
It was exciting times. My first was: KGuard CA104-H02 It was a very low-end 4-camera DVR that came with 4 analog bullet cameras and 50ft coax + power cables. $239.99 on Dec 14, 2010 from newegg.com Here is one of few surviving full resolution snapshots. Late 2011, I began phasing them out... -
Optimal camera BI setting
The screenshots you shared show Blue Iris is processing 20 FPS but is unable to stream 20 FPS to UI3, which is not a surprise for a 16 megapixel resolution source. Blue Iris normally does transcoding to get the video out to UI3, and it struggles to handle even normal 4K at 30 FPS. Double 4K at... -
Tail Scale VPN
It is not what I'd call super easy to set up, but the general idea is you register a domain using Cloudflare (or transfer one in from another domain host), then set up a Cloudflare Tunnel which is where a machine (e.g. Blue Iris machine) on your network establishes an outbound connection to...- bp2008

UI3 shows wrong dates
If any part of Blue Iris works, the service is running. (unless you don't run Blue Iris in service mode... in which case you should start for reliability's sake). It is possible that recording wasn't working because of the Shield being set accidentally to Red. It happens sometimes! You can... -
Blue Iris UI3
It is not easy to implement the hotkey that way, because the current behavior is for UI3 to tell Blue Iris to jump to the next event, and UI3 doesn't know what timestamp that is, or if there even is a next one. -
Blue Iris UI3
There is no hotkey to go live if that is what you are asking. But this button on the right of the timeline does it. That button is green if you're already doing live playback. -
UI3 shows wrong dates
I don't see anything particularly wrong in that screenshot. Red pie top left ... do you mean the button for opening Blue Iris Status? I believe the red color just means you have unviewed errors in the Log tab of Blue Iris Status. Are you still missing clips? Are they missing in Blue Iris's... -
UI3 shows wrong dates
Try this: Right click a clip > Database > Repair/Regenerate. I'm not sure if it is the same operation as the one available in Blue Iris Status > Storage, but generally speaking it is a very thorough repair. -

Older BI Key
If you emailed Blue Iris support and explained the situation, they would probably extend the expiration date for you given the circumstances. Otherwise you would have to install a version of Blue Iris 5 that was released before February 15, 2022 in order to not have it remove the watermarks...- bp2008

IPCT Introducing CCTV Mapper - Free design tool!
One last bug for now: Right clicking an item and using the Duplicate function pops up the prompt to upgrade your service plan even if you are not actually at the object limit. Remaining wish list items: Let the map zoom in much, much, (much) farther. I want to be able to zoom in so far that... -

More issues: Poe Switches are invisible on the map. Text in the Simulated View area is still really small which is a bit of an accessibility/readability issue. Consider moving it out of that canvas and just making that readout with normal HTML elements. PPF and Frame width calculations are... -

@Mike It is better! Still a number of issues. Here's one: I have an old "Blue Iris" object on the map, added long ago. Clicking it yields this error: Same error if I click that Blue Iris object in the devices list. But if I create a new Blue Iris object, the new one does not have... -
UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser
Yes, once it is all set up, basically the only difference when you switch to using https is the addition of the letter s in the URL, and maybe a different port number has to be entered in the URL. Your UI3 settings will start over completely new because the web origin is different with HTTPS...- bp2008
