    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.

    No upfront pricing disclosure huh?

    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...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Yes HTTPS will work on all machines. They will need to trust the certificate in order to avoid warnings when connecting. This tool I made can help with that on Windows. GitHub - bp2008/CertTrustManager: A simple Windows program which can hold an embedded SSL/TLS certificate (.cer file) and...

    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...

    IPCT Introducing CCTV Mapper - Free design tool!

    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...

    IPCT Introducing CCTV Mapper - Free design tool!

    @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...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Since you are using a VPN, that means you are not accessing via a public IP, which makes it much more difficult to get a LetsEncrypt certificate to work. I think you should try getting your phone to trust a self-signed certificate instead. You can use any of a number of tools to create one...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    You need to load UI3 using HTTPS with a trusted certificate. Then you'll be able to install it the same way as that PWA Display Test app, and avoid having the address bar wasting space.

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Looks like a trusted certificate is needed (letsencrypt is one way to get that). The menu item is still "Add to Home screen" but when you select it you get the install option. You can try adding this test site to your home screen to see how it works: standalone PWA Display Test Anyway BI 6 is...

    Blue Iris UI3

    The empty response is Blue Iris closing the connection because it banned the IP address the traffic is coming from. Update to latest (currently 6.0.3.4) and go into BI Settings > Web server > Advanced and clear out the "Limit access by IP address" text box of anything you did not add yourself...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Yes, I use a Pixel Fold. If UI3 is served by unencrypted HTTP, all I get is the option to add a shortcut to the home screen, and that just opens the regular Chrome browser. However if UI3 is served with HTTPS then I get the option to "Install" it which only then uses the PWA (progressive web...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    That is probably a "security feature". You probably need to set up HTTPS and be connected with that before you add UI3 to the home screen. I'm not sure if you will need a trusted certificate (like from LetsEncrypt) or if you can get away with a self-signed one. You can set up HTTPS through...

    Web server issue

    You say but do you mean that is using a web browser on the Blue Iris computer itself? You could have a firewall issue. On the Blue Iris machine, open Windows Defender Firewall > Advanced settings > Inbound Rules. Add a new inbound rule that allows TCP traffic on whatever port number(s) you...

    Any tips for adding camera to travel router at remote location?

    A diagram might help. Please forgive my 8-year-old mspaint drawing skills. You will end up with 3 distinct networks. Although one of them is just the VPN network which is entirely software-defined and consists only of the two routers. In my example: Network A is just the LAN at location A...

    Web server issue

    Try downgrading to 6.0.2.10 (latest critical or highly-stable update currently available). 6.0.3.x added new countermeasures to block web crawlers and bots and they've been causing all manner of unintended problems for people.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    6.0.3.4 fixed issues with localhost and LAN addresses getting banned. This should be good enough for most people. UPDATE 2026-07-18: Blue Iris is not very good at determining what is a LAN address. Tailscale networks for example typically use the IP range 100.0.0.0/8 (a.k.a. 100.0.0.0 -...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    They most likely were all different addresses. That guy is likely just getting an unusually high amount of crawler/bot traffic to his BI web server. Blue Iris stopped putting these auto-banned addresses into the web server's IP list with version 6.0.3.3 though after they realized how poorly...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    You are absolutely right, it is a false sense of security. Most likely the reason for these specific changes is because too many people opened support tickets asking about all the strange addresses in the Connections list on their exposed BI web servers. The recent changes will reduce that and...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    These internet bot mitigation features are still having growing pains. Even after today's change log for 6.0.3.3 said the requirements will not be enforced for LAN connections anymore, they still are. Even a "localhost" connection gets blocked, and then this fails to get mentioned in the log...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    For a lot of people, locking their Blue Iris web server away behind a VPN is not a practical option because they want to be able to simply share a link and credentials with people to give them remote access without making anybody jump through the hoops of VPN client setup. Yes, it absolutely...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    It is true, you get no benefit from those security measures if you do not expose the BI web server to the internet in the first place. But there are plenty of reasons why someone might expose their BI web server to the internet, and in such a case these additional client validations are welcome...

    Blue Iris UI3

    UI3 code looks correct for this. I think Blue Iris is fumbling the wildlife flag in timeline data. I can't even assign the wildlife flag to an alert using the JSON API; it corrupts the alert and makes that alert stop working in UI3. I'll submit a bug report.

    "served" is definitely right. The web server is serving the login page from the / path too now. I don't understand how this is a benefit to cybersecurity though.

    There is also a seeking mechanism I have seen on a (few) video players in the past where the further you drag your mouse pointer (or finger) from the seek bar while dragging, the slower the seeking gets. Like if you click the seek handle and drag up a few inches before moving left or right, the...
