    Question about setting up alerts

    I haven't worked with alerts for over 3 years now. I had used them in the past, but it got kind of overwhelming with all the alerts I would get. I am planning on getting them back on, but I am not truly confident doing it again. Where is a good tutorial, or some good literature to look at before...

    Time is 2 hours off from Camera to Blue Iris

    My camera time is spot on, but when I view it in Blue Iris, it is 2 hours off. What am I doing wrong? This is a new install for someone. I've never had this before. I do have it unhooked from the internet. Could that cause this?

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    What about if I made a local account on the PC and then sign in using that local account not associated with MS? Or will that even make a difference???

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    Oh, it is an EliteDesk 800 G5 i7 9700. Shouldn't Windows be tied to the motherboard? That is one thing I'm not sure of before I do a clean install. And I'm pretty sure it didn't come with windows 11 installed when new, not positive though.

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    Well, I got it to work. It put his first name (chris) and I just used the password he used to sign into his MS account with. So, I got it to work. Do you still think I should reinstall it again and do a clean install? I have the USB drive ready. Will BI work better with a local instead of a MS...

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    Well, we chose not to for his server. What is the advantage? I just don't know for sure what it is. I did it for my server and for another couple servers I did, but he said let's just keep it with Microsoft Acct. I got it all done, but installing BI when I go to startup tab and to check run as...

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    This was a new/used computer just purchased last week for the BI server. It was supposed to have been reset to a fresh Windows 11 install. Well, he got BI installed and then realized he needed to add his microsoft acct. as admin. Well, he did something wrong I guess, and I'm trying to help get...

    Windows login problem and reinstalling BI.

    I'm helping a friend who forgot his Microsoft Password to get into his computer. Crazy, but it is what it is. Anyway, it was just installed the other day, and doesn't have anything on it but BI. The problem with that is that we didn't have a chance to do anything to BI. So, if we reinstall...

    Question on storage setups

    I have been using BI for many years now, but am just curious about people's storage setups. I have my main C drive and another larger drive for storing my recordings. Would I be better off getting a larger SSD for my C drive, placing my new recordings on that, and then moving my older recordings...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S zoom setting question.

    You are using 15fps, but what bit rate are you using? Also, in the morning for the first few hours, we contend with the sun this time of year on our PTZ. Is there anything we can do to help this out?

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S zoom setting question.

    With 13 cameras my cpu is running about 11% to 13% most of the time. When there is a lot of movement on multiple cameras, it goes up, but not past 50%. There are 8 of the 5442 variety, and 5 SD5A425XA-HNR

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S zoom setting question.

    Yes, I have substreams, but there is just too much we need to see even without movement multiple times, that substream just isn't quite good enough. With 13 cameras my cpu is running about 11% to 13% most of the time. When there is a lot of movement on multiple cameras, it goes up, but not past...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S zoom setting question.

    I have mine set to just continuous. I don't want continuous sub + trigger. Maybe I'm missing something here. I don't want the substream recorded, I want the best possible quality for a recorded video. Set me straight if I'm wrong again. Thanks.
