    Mystery Password Demand

    It's not a Blue Iris login... It's a Windows thing that once I set an admin password, I MUST use that to get past Windows' own splash screen. It is as if it forgot that I upgraded to Pro. But of course, it didn't. Windows is currently trying to cram WIN11 down my gullet.... Dammit, why do they...

    Mystery Password Demand

    Yeah, that didn't fix it on mine. It's OK in that the service is running... but I wish it would bypass the windows login for me to do anything local.

    Mystery Password Demand

    Was this a BI update change? I've been running it for over a year without a password and now I'm being forced to, not by Windows but by BI??? As I recall, the whole reason that I had to pay for the upgrade to Win Pro was specifically to have the no-password-startup agility(?) I did add the...

    Mystery Password Demand

    I think I have pissed off my Blue Iris(?) In an effort to get my remote monitoring back in order (I haven't actually viewed the system remotely in a very long time) I created a new OpenVPN config on my TPLink router just as before. I imported it to my phone and the desktop at work; both machines...

    Three Dahua Bricks... Is There a Trick to UNBrick?

    1. I have not tried updating the firmware, but likely my next step. 2. Andy says its not a hardware issue, so, therefore, not warranty. He offered no fix. You might say I'm a bit disappointed.... 3. he may be correct but I'm running out of guesses. 4. I will try the firmware next

    Three Dahua Bricks... Is There a Trick to UNBrick?

    I have tried this, its a no go, even if I try the 1.108 with the new password. I have messaged Andy, I'm going with his advice whatever that might be. Maybe he's run into this before(?)

    Funny weird cameras of AliExpress.

    "Wocks with Amazon Alexa" and others. I recently installed a PTX sourced from WISH. No brand name. NOT PoE which is my biggest issue with it, needing a power wire is a pain so i have it temporarily installed close to power. If I keep it, I'll eventually run dedicated wiring for it. I...

    Three Dahua Bricks... Is There a Trick to UNBrick?

    Update of a sort: I have spent more hours trying again and again to figure this out. I have reset them all many many times. I have had one huge success in that I managed to get the 2231TZS working! The other two cams are having the same issue: I can do the physical reset button, holding it for...

    Three Dahua Bricks... Is There a Trick to UNBrick?

    Thanks! You guys have described my entire Wednesday! I had the day off and decided I was going to fix these cams and work on BI motion configurations, reset my stunnel... in the end I failed to complete these tasks! I did all of the things you both described, many times. I was concerned that I...

    Three Dahua Bricks... Is There a Trick to UNBrick?

    My system is less than two years old. All my cams are Dahua, all bought from Andy. I've PM'ed Andy to see what to do next as these are all in warranty as far as I know. But MAYBE they can be revived? I'd much rather get them working than warranted. These three cams stopped communicating at...

    The YouTube User With 20.5 Million Subscribers Does It Again

    Interesting read. I hadn't heard of it. I appears (if one is willing to take the apology as real) that the youtuber guy did not fake anything, but that people who agreed to help him then faked the package theft. This paints Rober as an unknowing victim; I'm not certain someone so obviously...

    The YouTube User With 20.5 Million Subscribers Does It Again

    ???? What about the vast collection of glitterbomb videos on his site seems .....fake? Mark Rober's Channel Glitterbombs, squirrel mazes, pee in the pool... over 633 MILLION views. If this guy is fake, he's the best faker ever!

    The YouTube User With 20.5 Million Subscribers Does It Again

    A guy shown in one of those videos was NOT the scammer or the bad guy, he was merely the owner of the Air B&B that a scammer had used as a drop. He was innocent and fully cooperated with the cops to further the cause of catching the bad guys. Once the glitterbomb ended up involved with phone...

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    Copied from another thread, explaining my question better than I did: So far, it seems that the answer must be 'that's impossible' but I'm hopeful the experts here have an approach that does this.

    I haven't found a way to create ,bvr files that way. I can export, but the single output file type is .mp4.

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    Can anyone tell me a way to segment an existing .bvr file into smaller .bvr files? Also, what is the best Windows app or program for viewing MP4s? Hoping for something that will support scrubbing and zooming the video

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    Does this help? I would LOVE for someone to explain why it's making 15 minute and 45 minute clips and also other random lengths. Again, no settings have changed during this, set for one--hour cuts as shown above. BTW, I have vids all the way back to September on this drive. Crazy, Am I right?

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    It has been mentioned (here and in the other thread) that my 'combine and cut' setting needs to be set properly. Can anyone address the issue that I'm experiencing as posted in post #18? All of my cams are set up as shown.

    Not shown is that they went to 503 first and then later to 506 & 507. ALL THREE houses had packages visible on their front stoops. Their M.O. is NOT the usual porch pirate run-grab-go; Their approach is completely different, They try to blend by NOT rushing and no even notices them. They KNOCK...

    Valid point. Likely will do this. This is the way this cam has been set for over a year: Despite this, THIS happens: That one file is 4:17PM Thurs to 3:20PM Friday. 150 Gigs, 23 hrs. Please tell me what settings I have wrong. See above: set continuous, no triggers, 1hr What I'm doing...

    Package Thieves !! Three adjacent Neighbors Hit

    This is something I was trying to learn about in that other thread... Is there a way to select a segment of the original .bvr and copy it AS A ,bvr??? The reason for the question is that the original .bvr for this particular day's capture is 23hours and 150Gigs. Adjacent files from the same cam...

    It was highlighted by this event that with all my cameras, all over the house, since the perps didn't actually visit MY house..., all of my cams were useless, exCEPT for the Mailbox cam.

    And NO ONE has a camera or doorbell! Of course, you can't see the detail in these (OK, I can't) when viewing the .bvr in BI it is all MUCH more clear. I haven't sorted out how to capture the zoomed videos... Vid 1 approach Vid 4 Plate Vid 5 Thefts Police involved (well, at least informed)...
