    Profile stuck on 1.

    Nevermind. The schedule was "disabled".

    Profile stuck on 1.

    Since second to last update and 3 days, BI has been stuck on profile 1. The schedule clearly contradicts this. What in world is going on? And no, it's not overridden.

    BI sending status update notifications on hourly basis

    Thanks Fenderman.

    BI sending status update notifications on hourly basis

    No wonder. I scoured through Options. Bad location, should at least have another way of getting there from options.

    BI sending status update notifications on hourly basis

    ... And I can't for the life of me find where to change this feature on the phone app or on the application on PC. Can someone please tell me where to find status updates? They are driving me nuts.

    PTZ position return to set positon after set period of time

    I don't think it's possible to go to a preset based on a zone. You can go to ONE preset if triggered, but not PS1 if A + PS2 if B + PS3 if C, et cetera.

    BlueIris Tools Multiple Locations - doesn't save

    Blue Iris tools multple locations does not save data in the folders you specify. The dirs don't even get created. The only data I find is under ./txt/

    Suction cup won't stay on glass!

    I used locktite outdoor adhesive after removing the suction cup and sanding the glass (firmly, the moh scale for that is nearly same) and ring left on suction cup body. It is ON there now!

    ESCAM Brick QD300 dead.

    Yeah the dongle has a grommet but no strain relief.

    Falsing - IR/Lighting Level Shifts

    I swear im going to switch to PIR for alarm purposes, but those things are hard to use or i got bad luck. Reeds then it is... to trigger one esp8266 to another into arduino into access into bi http. Bi has limited arduino compatibility but i made my own interface in VBA Access.

    Falsing - IR/Lighting Level Shifts

    Sadly im no EE. It occurs sporadically and overall is an 'affordable' camera. Furthermore i cant differentiate it from iris, shutter, or gain changes. One thing is for sure, no PT is occurring at these points. Are you familiar with ratio it uses to reset detector when above %?

    ESCAM Brick QD300 dead.

    Looney. ThanX. That bit of irony did not go unthunk. Overall I guess I'm OK with it, it lasted 24 months in ohio Wx. I changed Amz review to 3/5. I'll consider the Hikis or Dahuas next time I shop for an IP cam.

    BI Android, dead.

    I am OP and found a solution to it not wanting to connect. I saw that even when I got a message it didn't connect, it made a connection sound and event on the server. I then discovered that BI Android has an apparent proclivity to stay connected in background processes. If you load it up again...

    Amcrest now freezes after PTZ commands

    It works now! I did nothing to fix it other than rebooting it a few times. I wish I had something more helpful for others to suggest. Springer, you have a very good point. The extra current required would of caused a switched power supply to dip out and reset. I didn't consider power supply at...

    Falsing - IR/Lighting Level Shifts

    Hello Foks, My camera sometimes has an issue of going darker by about 20% for a second and regaining in IR. It is very irritating. As a result, BI interprets it as object detected motion in the zone that is flagged to detect. An alarm sounds. Now, the obvious solution is the "Reset Detector...

    Kindle Fire/Android as dedicated viewers (stability?)

    Made me look! Long-click on headphones doens't do a thing. A squealch is something you see on walkie talkie and radios. I suppose it has some usuability for survialance.

    ESCAM Brick QD300 dead.

    Hello Again. My eScam brick has become that, a brick. It won't echo back nor connect. It turns on and the network dongle lights up like it should, the IR goes on and off. Just no LAN connection. Any suggestions? I find that the network i/f is by FAR the most common failure in cameras. I've...

    Suction cup won't stay on glass!

    My suction cup stopped working on an el cheapo dashcam. I tried the most sensible solution and put it back up with silicone adhesisve. The adhesive failed recently after several months, now that it is warm. I felt silicone would work. What else? Epoxy? Superglue? I don't care too much if...

    Amcrest now freezes after PTZ commands

    Greetings, My two year old Amcrest (sorry I forgot model#) is now jacked up. It freezes (no signal, connection refused) when you send it a PTZ command. Not a single frame is sent thereafter until a few minutes later. The camera has been power cycled. It started tonight at which point I made...

    BI Android, dead.

    Yeah... it's connecting on the LAN side, at least right now. When I re-entered the darn IP i forgot to set port # to 15080.

    BI Android, dead.

    Last week BI mobile android just stopped working altogether. It connects because I hear the connection sound on the server, however the little PoS client says that "it cannot reach server". I uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted my phone. Furthermore, the Get IPS function does nothing now.

    Foscam 9805 & Blinding Lights

    That's a ok picture. You can of course turn down contrast and lose much of the surrounding area. However the lens flare is not going away. Super high quality aspheric lenses will still star. I'd direct the spot lamp away or use a small object to shade camera from it, such as a belly of a garden...

    Am I wasting my time with Amcrest/Foscam?

    I have to admit I have not read the whole thread but stopped using foSCAM for flashing video referenced by OP. I had two in a row from ChinaMazon that had bad CMOS sensors or something. The ol axiom fits well here: you get what you pay for. I can't pay much so I choose dependability. A shitload...

    Geofencing. en-garde! (dupe instances of one mobile)

    Good so far. My notifications are no longer delayed. It seems good maintenance to clear out the mobile devices here and again. Although, you'll need to re-enter a couple of settings.

    Geofencing. en-garde! (dupe instances of one mobile)

    I am just going to reinitialize the mobile devices be removing them. I do have a pinhole, BI server is only thing out there. If I get cameras on both WiFi and WAN, I assume BI App can tell BI Server it's location in real-time through the same channel?

    Why is BI app using my microphone?

    I'm glad it watches out for mic usage on a side-note. It's not BI I worry about.

    I love the yellow border! Sometimes it scares me, but usually I like it. Heck, I have bounding boxes on everything.

    Cloudy Day and Lightening Lighting Changes

    You can use Zone Crossing and Object Travels parameters as well. Just keep in mind they don't work as well in reality as in theory. Particularly the OBject Travels can cause you to miss positives. A box around a person may grow instead of move, for example, and obj travel won't let it trigger...
