    DB Repair and now Alerts gone

    I have several issues (always) with BI recently and I'm really unsure how to resolve. My main issue right now is that I ran a dbrepair (which took a full day, btw). Firstly, here is how my storage is set up: E: drive is not the main OS, but another drive on my VM (Proxmox VM, FYI). My...

    Video Export from Raw

    I am using the BI app (not web) and trying to export a specific time frame on one of my cameras and having a hell of a time because I rarely have to do this - so I apologize in advance for the stupid question, but I have been googling and watching videos for awhile trying to figure this out. I...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    I put all of my cameras on a VLAN. I have 8 total cameras right now with a smattering of Reolink, Amcrest, and then 2 of the EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X cameras. All of the cameras took the IP properly, but only the 2 EmpireTech cameras no longer respond after updating the IP address. The change...

    Blue Iris seems to be recording oddly

    I was looking through my camera feeds (haven't in awhile) and noticed that going way back it shows my cameras at 12:00:00AM, 8:00:00AM, and 4:00:00PM on every camera all the time like this: This set here shows a person detected on the 4:00:00pm recording. The problem is, that didn't happen...

    IPC-Color4K-X stopped working

    I have 2 of these cameras since May of last year as i recall. One of them always worked. The other one seems to stop working now and again. But - without me doing anything it suddenly will work. it is up higher on the house, but since it is nice outside I figured I would go have a look...

    Camera setup - settings help

    I've read a bit on the forums here, but still confused a bit on how to tweak the settings of each camera to optimal. I have not really done any settings adjustments for the most part (analysis paralysis, probably). Here is an example of my EmpireTech Cameras: I have ready that 30FPS is...

    Cameras recording too late

    I've noticed that some of my cameras record by the time someone walks all the way up to and/or past the area I am recording. For example, when someone walks through the backyard - I don't really know where they came from because they are practically past the camera's range by the time the...

    IPC-Color4K-X no signal in BI

    I have 2 of these cameras (among a few others. They are on my network at xxx.xxx.xxx.21 and xxx.xxx.xxx.22. Both show up fine in the camera's web interface. Both used to show up fine in BI. Lately, though, one of the two cameras is not showing up. All of the settings on the cameras...

    Do solar garden-style lights help?

    I have decent cameras right now (IPC-Color4K-X) and will likely be adding a few cheaper cameras. The LED on the camera is ok to bring in some light, but I was curious if adding some edge lighting around the house would help get a better night picture? The 2 areas now are: I was just...

    BI Storage Issues + moving .bvr files to new location

    On my Blue Iris system, I have been trying to set up the storage, but have made errors previously where I didn't have enough storage to complete more than 12 hours at a time. Not ideal when your kids slip out in the evenings on occasion :) I did fix that, but I did it relatively quickly and...

    IPC-Color-4K , BI not finding streams

    I have 2 of these cameras and was just setting up the substreams in BI because (dumb me) I just set them up on the main stream and filled up my NAS pretty quickly, lol. Anyway - both cameras are set up the same way, but of course with unique IPs. On CAM1, the Find/Inspect pulls back the Main...

    Any better priced vs quality than these cameras?

    Amcrest: IP8M-T2669EW-AI I have one of these in my garage and it seems to do a decent job. I'm looking to grab 4-6 more cameras for perimeter stuff like main and egress windows. I do want to be able to detect stuff at night, of course, but I'm thinking I could place some solar garden lights...

    So many cameras... I'm paralyzed, need some guidance

    The architecture I'm looking at is the following: ESXi VM (Or HP DL380 Gen7) Server Frigate Software Home Assistant Software Doorbell (already purchased Amcrest AD410) POE Switch Cameras The last part is the stickler for me. I've looked at a LOT of cameras. I think I've landed on Amcrest...
