    You pegged it. I doubt I would have ever figured that out. Thanks so much!

    Can't change traffic light or schedules/profiles in IOS mobile app

    Running BI version 4.4.6.2 64 bit. We just downloaded the Blue Iris Mobile app (ver 1.54.05) on a iPad. It is connected to the BI server just fine. Cameras and alerts working fine. One functionality we really need is to be able to change the traffic light and the profiles and schedules. Right...

    I hate to ask, but....

    Can you explain your strict need for a web browser interface? What is your use case? Right now I am sitting at my laptop and can log in to my security system with remote desktop. Same LAN. Super responsive even while having 4 camera windows open with full video. I'm having trouble understanding...

    Comcast (Xfinity) will activate 1 Terabyte data limit plan beginning November 1st

    Goodness that is a lot. It is six months of data allowance on my satellite connection.

    Comcast (Xfinity) will activate 1 Terabyte data limit plan beginning November 1st

    Your call of course. I just wanted to throw out another way of thinking about the problem. At $50 per month to go to unlimited, you could pay for a BI capable server pretty quick.

    Comcast (Xfinity) will activate 1 Terabyte data limit plan beginning November 1st

    Seems to me like your config needs to be tweaked. I've not thought this thru extensively but it seems like you might want to install a BI server in your mom's house. Proper setup of triggers and alerts should keep you informed of things you need to look at. If you want to view something in...

    Off grid BI system - enough processor?

    @Benak I'm kind of surprised you have high speed internet service but no utility power. Care to explain? EDIT: I just reread your OP and I see you are getting it via cell. I don't have any cell service here so that is why I am satellite based. Someday I hope to get a higher speed connection...

    Off grid BI system - enough processor?

    My system is based on stills rather than video also. I'm now power challenged but rather am bandwidth challenged since I am on a metered (10GB/mo) satellite internet link. My system consists of a PC running BI and a website that allows me to view and manage the stills. When motion is detected...

    Thanks all for the welcomes. @nayr - you are right. New cables will be in my future. Maybe not immediately though. I'm interested in learning about the camera wifi reliability. With so many new IoT products coming on, we've got to get wifi to high performance/high reliability. For me personally...

    New BI user - questions on how to implement certain requirements

    I resolved my issue with the hourly snapshots. I couldn't match the filename format I needed so I just recoded the website to deal with it. Took a few hours but it is working well now.

    New BI user - questions on how to implement certain requirements

    I have resolved the email sending on Alert issue. I woke up with a new idea and it worked. I trashed the idea of shelling out and sending the URL. I had earlier tested the native email sending and it had failed. I revisited that this morning. I had been using a gmail account which was producing...

    Anyone catch traffic from this?

    You might want to explore metered connections. In windows 10, this is an option on wifi connections. This causes windows 10 to not download updates, or rather stage updates. You control the update process. With a reg change, you can also make wired Ethernet connections operate the same. Google...

    New BI user - questions on how to implement certain requirements

    You are so right. The BI online Help is one of the best I have seen. I did look at profiles in help but it didn't quite jell yet. I will probably look to youtube for further assistance. I did a search on YT a few days ago and was surprised at the number that related to BI. That just validated my...

    New BI user - questions on how to implement certain requirements

    I've seen the profiles and I realize there is a lot of potential in them. I just haven't focused on them as of yet. Your suggestion on using different profiles at different times of the day is likely spot on. I just haven't quite cracked the nut of understanding on them yet. The association of...
