    Remote access issue with BI 6

    @rauska2 Latest Blue Iris works fine for me. You'll have to go back to the basics. Check if Blue Iris's web server is still configured to listen on the expected port number. Open "Resource Monitor" in Windows and go to Network tab, Listening Ports, then find BlueIris.exe and make sure it is...

    Is IPCTDDNS still working for everyone who uses cloudflare DNS?

    @Mike and/or @bigballerbill would need to fix this!

    Camera will not display alerts in UI3

    You should be able to enter the IP address and login info and then use onvif find/inspect button to fill the rest.

    Camera will not display alerts in UI3

    Best advice I can offer is to create the camera in Blue Iris over again from scratch without copying/exporting/importing from the previous version, and see if you get alerts properly from that one. If you have a lot of stuff set up in the cam, start with something simple, then work up in phases...

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    There are still some cheap camera options out there. I really like the Annke FCD600 for overviews for example and it is still around $80 (for a dual lens cam) or less if you find the right coupon deal on ebay. But higher-end stuff is creeping up in price, and I have no reason to suspect that...

    Hi everyone, I’d appreciate some help with a Hikvision product I bought on AliExpress. I think I was scammed with China only product

    It is certainly possible. Around a decade ago it was common practice for Chinese-market Hikvision cameras to be sold in the USA after being hacked to have English in their web interface and video overlays, and Hikvision would refuse support for them (even for password reset requests), firmware...

    Remote access issue with BI 6

    I can't blame you at all, honestly. Having your remote access experience wrecked like that in the name of security is not a good tradeoff even if it works. Which it doesn't. Because the type of automatic traffic those features ban never was a threat to Blue Iris's cybersecurity in the first...

    Dog Attack

    I love how 20 minutes later the dog is back off leash while owner is on their phone. Nice touch adding that to the video lol.

    thoughts on this for a BI server?

    A thunderbolt JBOD is probably going to be reliable enough (PROBABLY). But for best reliability, you can't beat internal storage. Just about any computer case with 3.5" HDD bays will also have room for a discrete GPU which is nice if you want to do AI stuff with Blue Iris, or run a Plex...

    Multiple Cam view on ui3?

    Top center of Blue Iris is a dropdown list of your groups. Find the "All cameras" group (should be selected by default actually) and click the gear icon next to it. Make sure webcasting is enabled for it. I am betting that got turned off somehow for you (if not this, then check your BI...

    Better Camera Placement

    Why would you change from 3 cams to 2? It seems like you are doing decently already for detail capture based on approximate field of views. If I were you I would want overview cams on all sides to go with that. These are a fantastic value for overview: Annke FCD600. I have installed quite a...

    Looks like Ubiquiti has lost its steam and their pricing structure is extremely manipulative

    I picked up one of these before the memory surcharge began. Switch Pro Max 48 PoE - Ubiquiti Store Found it 'open box' on ebay for a small discount actually. It is a pretty decent switch and tidied up my rack nicely, however two things piss me off: The per-port RGB lighting does not work if...

    I need a little help figuring out what went wrong with todays update

    What do you mean "without access to the BI desktop"??? What have you been taking pictures of all this time?

    I need a little help figuring out what went wrong with todays update

    That suggests you opened a .reg file, not Blue Iris. Although that looks like some kind of Blue Iris dialog box behind the dialog from Windows. Either way, we have no idea what you did still. It is looking more and more like your system is very much FUBAR and you should back up your important...

    This actually feels like one of those pranks where someone screenshots your desktop, sets it as the desktop background, then hides your desktop icons and taskbar.

    is Ken still involved with BI?

    If your support request to Blue Iris was anything like your thread here about that problem, then they are probably at a loss for words. I'm sorry but it feels like a low effort request for general tech help after you either (1) installed some kind of wacky malware, or (2) have a very strange...

    I need a little help figuring out what went wrong with todays update

    That is wildly bizarre. Easiest way I know of to "accidentally" set a different desktop background image would be right clicking an image file and choosing "Set as desktop background". To reset the background otherwise it would be Windows Settings app > Personalization > Background and nobody...

    Vehicle Crash Causes Power Outage

    Oh geez you're right, that was more like 62 seconds lost. Reliable battery backup is ridiculous though. I have a huge whole home backup system based on an EG4 12000XP. It is ready to take solar input when, some day, we feel like navigating the regulatory red tape for that, and finding a...

    Why is BI exporting only part of my 1 hour video?

    The BVR Player can now export the metadata either as a simple text summary of a detailed interactive summary in HTML format. This is at the bottom of the Metadata panel and also is available if you try to open a bvr that has no video in it.

    Why is BI exporting only part of my 1 hour video?

    @jaydeel If you want to send me that bvr file, I can have Claude analyze it and see if it can produce a more useful/precise message than 'no video frames'. Up to you of course.

    Why is BI exporting only part of my 1 hour video?

    I just published another update which fixes an issue that could occur where the wrong frame metadata is shown (or no frame metadata is shown, which is how I noticed there was a problem) depending on which stream selector option you had chosen. Then I found a reproduceable sequence of events...

    It should auto-update. If you see the Main-stream jump buttons setting in the settings panel with this description, you know you are running the current latest.

    Version 6

    Well that configuration all looks fine to me, so I suggest you create a new Windows Firewall rule to allow inbound TCP traffic on port 7781, for all network types. In case it is Windows Firewall blocking it.

    That error message means the connection timed out, which is a fancy way of saying your tablet could not connect to Blue Iris. Double check these things: 1. That the URL matches exactly between working and non-working machines; that 192.168.1.103 is the Blue Iris computer's IP address on your...

    Version 6

    That is the price for a new license. But you don't need a new license because Blue Iris stopped gating new major versions on a new license after the version 3.x to 4.x upgrade. After that the rule simply became that you can install and run any Blue Iris version released before the end of your...
