    Cannot connect to server?

    It's turned off, but it had been a minute since I updated and it kept nagging me, so figured I'd run it.

    Cannot connect to server?

    Windows Update deleted the Blue Iris service. I explained the issue to ChatGPT, and it asked me if I was running Blue Iris as a service and had me check it in services.msc ... not listed. Unchecked Run as Windows service, restarted Blue Iris, rechecked Run as Windows service. Bingo...

    Cannot connect to server?

    Blue Iris opens fine on the server, but even on the server, I cannot load the local IP address:81 and access Blue Iris.

    Cannot connect to server?

    We are all getting Server is unavailable when trying to connect to the IP address:81/ui3.htm. It also shows that the video stream was lost. We use Tailscale, but it's showing the server is connected, and all of our devices are connected to Tailscale as well. I can't login from any other...

    Block search feature?

    A buddy of mine has DW Spectrum software for his business and was showing me a feature he finds very useful. He can pull up any camera, draw a block with his mouse, and it will give him clips of any movement in that area over a speciifed time period. Is that a DW specific feature, or something...

    Snafu with my PTZ4K45X-AI

    Andy suggested downloading the plugin, and that fixed it.

    Snafu with my PTZ4K45X-AI

    Yes... using Edge in IE mode... no issues with the other 15 cameras.

    Snafu with my PTZ4K45X-AI

    Hmmm... now I'm getting an image in Blue Iris. Viewing via the IP address... I can see an image if I expand to full screen, but then going back to regular Live view, I see this:

    Snafu with my PTZ4K45X-AI

    Text messages on motion?

    So the IVS alerts can be sent via Pushover?

    Text messages on motion?

    Okay... I probably need to learn how to setup the motion triggers first, since these will be different than the AI via the camera's IP address. Is there a thread on setting this up?

    Text messages on motion?

    Thanks ... I'll check out Pushover.

    Text messages on motion?

    Is there a method with Blue Iris to text message me on motion for a certain time period? Any videos of setting this up... or step-by-step threads that I'm missing? Thanks!

    Lost remote access ... can't figure it out.

    Yes... restarting took care of it. I'd already checked the IP, although we are using Tailscale's IP, but neither the local nor Tailscale had changed.

    Lost remote access ... can't figure it out.

    Had to restart the camera computer a second time, for whatever reasons.

    Lost remote access ... can't figure it out.

    We've lost our remote access. All appears to be correct on the server, and Blue Iris is running fine. I've restarted the server, but that did not help. Still getting this on all the other computers and on my phone. Any ideas?

    Adjusting camera image on an Empiretech IPC-HDBW7842E1-Z4-X

    Okay... the actual lens will rotate too... that's what I was missing to get it back where I wouldn't have to look at my image upside down. :)

    Adjusting camera image on an Empiretech IPC-HDBW7842E1-Z4-X

    I was thinking this would be a camera that I could adjust via pan and tilt, but I'm not sure how or if I can. I can rotate it, then tilt it down a little, but the image is off. I don't see a way to pan it physically. Unless I'm missing something, my only option is to move the location or mount...

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I have Tailscale at home and on my phone, so I may as well use it.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    The local address works while at the store, but the WAN address does not work from home. I need a method of viewing the camera via mobile device and computer when not at the store.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    Yeah... I can get it open via UI3... didn't think of that to start with. It seems to be better for everything mobile.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I posted this earlier, but it was removed for some reason. I'll try again. I have BI set up on my Android S25 with my Home camera network... works well. Trying to add my store network. I entered my first/last five of the license for the store, LAN/WAN IP addresses, and username/password for BI...

    Setting up NAS for Blue Iris storage...

    Considering the loudness of the 22TB Purple Pro HDD that I tried out in my Dell Precision camera computer at home, I thought maybe I'd install the drive in an Asustor AS5402T NAS for our gun shop camera system to use as storage. Maybe run a 6TB SSD for the New video/clips on my desktop, and...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    It would probably be good to add more closer to the front door. Then go ahead and add a few more inside, and probably more in the back inside as well. For the outside, from about 10 pm to 6 am, I'll likely set up AI for persons coming close to the building during those hours, where it notifies...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    I like the idea of moving the cameras up behind the counter. I'm not crazy about the dual-lens cameras. They are not truly 180 degrees and have the distortion issue in the center (the building you see in the pic below is considerably wider than it looks). Here is the EmpireTech...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    We generally leave the lights on in the showroom 24/7. There are no windows as the entire building is wrapped in double metal. The front door is Lexan with a steel door behind it. We ran LED lights for 9 years in our other store and I think we replaced one ballast that burnt out. We will likely...

    Ceilings in showroom are 10ft high. Good idea on the lower door. We actually had one just like that in our other store.
