    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    I use Blue Iris exclusively. Both on my iPhone and on my computer. It greatly simplifies camera management and also makes utterly useless Chinese cams usable. If I had to rely solely on camera web servers and written instructions Half of my cams would end up in the garbage. The value in an ip...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Sounds like a network issue. I have a couple of these that have been running 24/7 since 2014 with Zero problems or issues. I use blue Iris to manage them. I can also use the Windows ONIVF program, whatever it's called.

    No clips since the 13th. Caused by update?

    Neither BI or the web server are showing any clips since the 13th of September. New clips are going to drive D, others to BI on C: The alerts folder on C: is empty. So is the stored folder. I admit that this clip storage scheme has never made one bit of sense to me. Whenever I select all clips...

    Wyze Cam Vulnerability - They knew and did nothing.

    I do tend to be a bit paranoid. Especially with this new phone. I had a Android phone for 7 years and had to give it up because the bank said it was no longer compatible. With the iPhone i worry that I'll inadvertently buy something by mistake. Seems like everything has a welcome screen with a...

    Wyze Cam Vulnerability - They knew and did nothing.

    Don't think I have anything the Chinese want. As for the rest. They make money selling your personal info and the result is targeted advertising and oceans of spam spam spam. 3 years ago I bought a Toyota and was immediately inundates with garbage spam that continues until this day. I recently...

    Wyze Cam Vulnerability - They knew and did nothing.

    I'm far more worried about Google, Microsoft and Amazon spying on me than I am the Chinese.

    How do I update my BI iPhone app?

    BI 5 and the latest app from the app store. It does work in spite of the nag. Surely there's a way to tell it to update. EDIT - Well stupid me. It's telling me "For optimal performance update the app on your PC". When all else fails, read the instructions. :facepalm:

    How do I update my BI iPhone app?

    Just got a new iPhone today and loaded the BI app. It tells me every time I open it that I need to update it. problem is the dialog box that displays only gives me 2 options, "Dismiss" and "Remind Me Later". Musta been a genius that came up with this response. Anyways, I've searched thru the...

    I have a porch cam and have never once seen an Amazon driver abuse a package. Must be lucky I guess.

    Problem viewing clips

    Just added a 2TB spinner to the server and put NEW on it. Both the Alerts and Stored folders are empty so I assume I don't need to do anything further. I'm trying to keep this server as low power as possible but I guess that's not really a good idea.

    Problem viewing clips

    Yep, that fixed it. I moved everything back to the BI folder and removed the second SSD. The boot drive is an Intel DC S3700 400GB. It should last a good long while.

    Problem viewing clips

    Thanks. Just did a delete and regenerate. Hopefully that fixed it. I also moved the "New" folder to c:\Blue Iris\ New where I assume it belongs. All I'm really interest in is seeing the clips recorded when motion is detected. Don't really understand Alerts / New / Stored, etc.

    Problem viewing clips

    I had a 1TB HD that was being used to store "New" clips. I've replaced it with an SSD and pointed BI to it for storing the clips. Now it appears that motion detect is working and clips are being recorded but when I try to view the clips in UI3 I get a "server is unavailable" error. Nothing I do...

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    Problem is I have no reason other than the bank to upgrade my phone. It's old as dirt, a Nexus 6, but it has phenomenal battery life. Even as old as it is I can get 4 days on a charge easy, probably longer than that, I've never run it dry. My friend who prompted this thread on the other hand...

    Yea, I think i am going to move to Apple. Apple isn't perfect by any means but I'm ready for a different set of problems.

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    I don't blame the banks, I blame Google for not allowing older phones to be updated. This amounts to thievery as far as I'm concerned.

    The noose is slowly being tightened. Soon freedom will be nothing more than a distant memory. Personal choice will be a thing of the past. Change is inevitable, whether it's for the good or the bad only the Gods know.

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    It could be that the Play Store doesn't show apps that aren't compatible with the current OS. I have a Nexus 6 that still works perfectly and the battery life is nothing short of astounding. I really hate to part with it but it looks like I have no choice. My bank has notified me that after Feb...

    Anybody know the status of the Android BI client?

    I believe you are correct. Does this mean the older version is no longer available?
