    IP Camera offline after powering down

    I was perusing my Asus router logs and found that there is a mac address constantly trying to connect, authorizes, then deauthorizes. I looked online for what the vendor of the MAC address is and it says "Tuya Limited" from China....I found some info about TUYA that seems to indicate that they...

    How to improve scrub action?

    Ok, another newbie query. I am a video editor by trade and am very used to using scrub on edit timelines etc. and am used to a very responsive scrub. I am guessing my system is the major bottle neck causing the issue, but I have pretty poor scrub action while scrubbing through recorded/stored...

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    Thats good advice......frankly, I wouldnt g.a.s. fi I had to stay on W10 forever for BI . Nothing about W11 entices me. But security updates (not Windows updates) have become a way of life I guess.....I will use W10as long as I can....especially now that you said BI isnt quite stable as of yet...

    I have tried rolling windows updates back (on non BI boxes) and I always seem to have teh luck where it eitehr stays broke or it gets WORSE. It has been a long time since I tried rolling back anything.....PTSD from those times...LOL Is there a patron saint of PCs I can pray to?

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    Thanks Appreciate the link. I have seen many sites like this , referenced on this and other sites. I already "limit" them by the first method....pausing them. The group policy to STOP them is a great way to go, but you have to have Pro....I am running HOME 64 bit on my BI box...so a non...

    Blue Iris Extended Support Auto Renewal

    Probably is. On the other hand, could just be someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of BI and maybe they are not very tech savvy. In this instance the complaint seems tp be with Digital River....I could be mistaken but I have bought other software arrangents through that provider (I...

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    I have seen this comment a bunch of times.... Can you clarify what version of windows you run and how you STOP updates?c I think I would be FIN with no updates. I havent even taken the gamble up upgrading BI from 5.4.4.2, because "if it works dont fix it". Do you run the security updates at...

    I am trying that (a backup) now. I never had any scheduled anything set up....I did the first CLONE when I first insatlled Macrium and then didnt use it or touch it since...that was in May 21.... If the C drive is what I am imaging, and if it tanks, how would I use the stored image I am making...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Yeah the first time I used it, no issues at all..easy peasy. Which is why I am stymied.... I am doing an "image" now.....onto the backup drive, will report back on that......but now that I think of it, I guess I will need to then transfer that to something else if I want to keep trying to...

    Blue iris and Windows 10 vs Windows 11

    I have been using BI for going on a year now and LOVE it. EXTREMELY reliable and though I am still muddling through the learning curve on some things, it has done everything (and more) I need it to do right now. Couple questions though in regards to updates. I am running BI 5.4.4.2 on Windows...

    Status Emails

    Hi all So I have BI set up so that an email goes out when there is an error, warning, remote access or software reset. At least that is what I want it to do. What is actually happening is that an email goes out every hour on the hour regardless of these NOT happening, and I just get the...

    Trigger seems broken?

    Ok, so it took a full power-off and reboot (restart didnt work) to "fix" this. I am afraid to tinker now...LOL A road way passes in front of my house, triggering every time a car passes. I figured I would use teh "zone" stuff to carve out an area where if a car went thru it I would NOT get...

    Trigger seems broken?

    I had my system running great for some time now. Up until now I had the trigger working, but I was getting hammered with alerts every few minutes -- every time a car would pass the house -- from one of my 3 cameras. So I thought I would try playing with "zones".....set up and a and a b...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    So I went in and did a manual repair/generate (right click on clips window) and just like you said, alerts are gone......but the footage goes back to 5/4 which is when I wiped the Skyhawk clean to rebuild the new system drive. Not sure why the automatic repair that ran 20 minutes ago didn't do...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    I saw no progress bar etc as far as rebuilding even after several hours.....and still the black section on my timeline when I was running the backup system drive..... I changed the time for the auto rebuild so as to start one immediately and it did it per the log..... completed...but still the...
