    Config tool site not secure issue

    I personally only use Config tool to find the camera's IP address if it is unknown, and then use the web interface for all configuration. Anyway I agree it sounds like it is boot looping. That is not a good sign. Have you tried a different ethernet cable? You can also try a 12v wall wart to...

    Config tool site not secure issue

    I must ask, what exactly is "config tool"? Can you take a picture or video of this issue happening? Could it be that the camera is boot looping? That could be caused by a bad power supply or a power supply that is not able to deliver enough power. Edge warning about the site not being secure...

    I need help on what CPU I need.

    i7-9700K would be fine but the non-K model is going to be pretty much equivalent and may be cheaper on the used market (ebay). It really boils down to what you find a good deal on. e.g. HP Z2 TOWER G4 WORKSTATION | INTEL CORE I7-9700 3.0GHZ | 256GB | 16GB | NO OS | eBay - You would need to do...

    How is this even funny?

    I'm guessing the intended audience for that video is people who see this guy on TV all the time.

    5.9.9.96 is broken for me, had to remove

    Direct-to-Wire pros: Much less CPU cost to live stream a single H.264 camera. There's absolutely no quality loss since your client app will be receiving the same exact video frames that Blue Iris originally received, without re-encoding. The video stream tends to be smoother because frames...

    Suggestions on dialing this in a bit during rain at night?

    I ... just ... uh ... wow. Dude the AI is trolling you. Wish I could help but I don't use AI features so I'm completely clueless about how to tweak the settings.

    IPC-Color4K-T

    Always test API commands with a web browser first, to make sure you have the URL correct. This way you can see any error messages the camera is returning. Blue Iris won't show you those error messages.

    5.9.9.96 is broken for me, had to remove

    I can confirm Direct to Wire is not working in 5.9.9.96. I don't normally use it because I do not like the tradeoffs, so hadn't noticed until you mentioned that.

    Do you selectively record phone calls?

    Wait, I thought all phones sold in the USA had call recording functions stripped out. It has NEVER been built in to any phone I've owned. I used to record every call using a third party app called "Total Recall" but they seemed to stop maintaining it so the best recording methods would get...

    System crash

    In the Blue Iris 5 folder there may be some files like backup.reg, backup2.reg, etc. If so, copy them over to your new drive and import the newest one into Blue Iris on the first page of BI settings. If not, you can probably still load the old Windows registry and export the Blue Iris settings...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    I actually think it is likely he can continue up to 5.9.9.255. I had been saying for a while that I think 99 is the highest possible version number in Ken's system based on the insane way he makes people encode the version number in his web server JSON API for remotely installing a BI software...

    Dahua Product Availability in the U.S. ends December 31, 2025

    How about the FCC goes back to making sure radio frequencies are used responsibly, and stops adding politics into the equation?

    Weirdness moving through BI alerts list

    For me it only messes with the selection/scroll position if I actually open a clip and play it, then try to navigate with keys. So if you press enter to open a clip, then, down, down, down a few times, it will jump back up after a short moment.

    Blue Iris UI3

    There's probably not a setting in UI3 that would affect this. Do single cameras stutter or is it the multi-cam view only? If you are running cameras with sub streams, did you match the main stream and sub stream frame rates and i-frame intervals?

    CPU/Fan monitoring

    Using a helper script it should be possible to put the CPU temperature into a text overlay on a Blue Iris camera. That might be interesting. But I am lazy these days and would not want to take the time to code that up since I don't really care that much myself. Maybe someone has already built...

    I want to create a program to check in and check out company employees

    A quick web search suggests that the API documents for that device are not publicly available. So ... good luck. Ask some AI search bots and that should point you in the right direction.

    Blue Iris will not start ...

    It is most likely crashing immediately. Unfortunately Blue Iris is awful at logging crashes. If you feel so inclined, you can collect the event logs from the Event Viewer and report them to Blue Iris support according to the instructions in Blue Iris's help file (which is a PDF in the Blue...

    Weirdness moving through BI alerts list

    Happens to me too in Blue Iris local console. This isn't the kind of thing that would happen due to corruption. This is some kind of asynchronous event (like a clip starting to play) causing a clip to be selected in the clip list viewer. Looks like it might happen when a clip finishes...

    Traffic lights with four colors and a new white light are coming, and they will change the way we drive forever

    Well @TonyR are you going to change your profile pic to add a white light on bottom?
