    Change profile: Does it STOP alert sound?

    I use arduionos and ESPs to automate the alarm system on two doors. Works except I can't get alarms to go to camera speaker. (anotehr thread)

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered, but it will send sound when tested from the alerts > sound alarm function. I have no clones of camera active, I thought at first that was the cause. Still, the camera gets an external trigger (not set to trigger by motion, only group, external, and...

    Change profile: Does it STOP alert sound?

    Ah, but it won't be MINE. :) I guess I need another camera to chirp for me before the alarm goes off. I won't want to piss off neighbors again.

    Change profile: Does it STOP alert sound?

    UPDATE: It does NOT stop the wav playback. Once initiated, wave playback isn't stopped. For all I know it may be enqueued at the camera itself. Anyhow, other ideas on an alarm that goes soft-LOUD? That can be disarmed? I tried clones, but clones won't send sound to camera. The PC itself is in a...

    OK. TEST locks up.

    Change profile: Does it STOP alert sound?

    Good idea. The things are hooked to a small amp and horn drivers, so I can still hear them inside, even if not at full blast.

    Arduino Uno with Ethernet shield INPUT/OUTPUT to Blue Iris.

    I recommend interfacing through the web server, not BI's own arduino interface as it's quite lacking. Just what I do personally, but I'm not using an Uno directly, I use an ESP32S to handle the commands to web server.

    Change profile: Does it STOP alert sound?

    If I change profile when a LONG alert wav is playing, say 20 seconds long, will it stop the playback if no alert sound is selected for that other profile? I hope yes, I think not. What I want to do: I want an audio warning tone (alarm) on one physical camera that is nearly silent at first, as...

    Run-time error '50003'

    It's working. Waiting on it to hit single digits. Brrrrrrr!

    Run-time error '50003'

    I'm on Windows 8.1 Thanks Mike, this version revert works. I'll keep tabs on this thread.

    Run-time error '50003'

    I got the same error. Haven't tried anything like a reboot nor reinstall as this was my first recourse. Rebooting is somewhat troublesome as this is depended upon.

    BIT / Blue Iris Tools Runtime Error '50003'

    3 Days ago and now every time I attempt to run BIT it produces this message before even displaying. The program terminates. Anyone else got this message?

    USB Pro 9000 Webcam - Shifted lines video

    SOLVED. I just rotated the damn camera itself. It's in a wire holder in upper corner of hallway, ugly but highly flexible.

    USB Pro 9000 Webcam - Shifted lines video

    Actaully 0 and 180 ARE the same. It doesn't rotate this feed. Other rotate fine.

    USB Pro 9000 Webcam - Shifted lines video

    Hmmm. I isolated the cause. Rotate. I kinda want to use that rotate feature but it screws up the video, only 0 and 180 look okay.

    USB Pro 9000 Webcam - Shifted lines video

    I'm having a problem with my USB camera. I need it because I don't have a lot of money to blow on a nice dahua IP cam. Furthermore it alerts me globally if my smoke detector beeps. Anyhow I wish I could post a picture (no host) but my video feed from that camera is shifted line by line. The...

    Thanks my yank from the south! That thing worried me some.

    Unable to update?

    I agree he deserves the $. But he should obey my proposed law - if greyed out, it MUST have an explanation provided near or in a tooltip popup. It worried me. I'm holding off till BI5 to buy, psssst --- don't tell Ken.

    AM/PM vs 24hr - Solved

    I need lots of Mental help! Heh. I guess I like the look of them, and hey, I use Blue Iris Tools too! Not much sense in using BIT (okay, some) if you don't enable overlays. I'll do D2D once my overhead gets high from too many cameras.

    Over allocation

    Fenderman, I progressively re-encode at a higher compression rate after a set period of time as while I still value older clips, they are less valuable and therefore crisp video isn't needed. So I like the "after x days" feature. I only delete with tears streaming down my face. 3.5TB, that's...

    4.8.4 - November 15, 2018

    I noticed (on all versions) a bit of a blurb or blast of audio when hitting the mic button out of each camera. It was as if the sound was what was left in the cam's buffer, not a BI issue seemingly. I wish the "talk" feature was more supported within BI. You can't bind a key to talk. Only...

    Q thanks for the NetTime contribution. My PC has a horrible RTC.

    AM/PM vs 24hr - Solved

    Again, here fenderman advocates not using BI's overlays. I use them extensively. What is the problem if you have the cycles to spare? I prefer much visual consistency and color coding which BI overlays allow, unlike each camera using a certain font face and some only supporting white. Now if you...

    Over allocation

    I never understand why each folder has a hard allocation if they are on the same drive. It makes NO sense. Anyhow, fenderman mentioned not to use limit clip age, and I do use that quite a bit to organize clips by relative date.

    Update options are greyed out!

    Under Software Support options there is Prompt... and that is greyed out, along with the two lines and button to check for new updates under that. I have a picture but no host. I hope I painted one. The time updates last checked does change when I reopen options, but I've not seen a pop-up for a...

    Instant Replay

    It should exist. I thought it was on UI2 or 3 but I was wrong. It would back up instantly to last trigger, no magic there.

    Thousands of 0 - 3 second clips?

    Make sure you have space on your drive too, I've had the same thing happen when I ran out of space. I don't mess with the built-in preset allocation per folder, since it is converse to how a filesystem operates. Folders DON'T have set sizes, drives do. Sorry, on a tangent.
