    IPC-Color4K-X ip address reset

    Thanks all. This issue is resolved. I was able to change the x.x.x.108 address of the existing Amcrest camera using the web interface. I was unaware that .108 is a default for new cameras. Once that was done I was able to set up the new camera using the web UI and Blue Iris. IPC-Color4K-X looks...

    IPC-Color4K-X ip address reset

    Thanks for your reply. I would love to changer the addrerss on both cameras. Config tool will not allow me to change the new one for some unknown reason (password error?). I will try changing the address on the existing camera but I don't want to end up with two inoperable cameras. The new...

    IPC-Color4K-X ip address reset

    I purchased an IPC-Color4K-X camera from Empire Tech. When I installed it and initialized it with the Config Tool it was automatically assigned an IP address that was already in use by anotherf camera on my network. I have not been successful modifying the IP address because Config Tool...

    5.6.0 - August 16, 2022

    On version 5.6.5.3 one of my cameras stopped creating alerts, even though the clip for that time period shows that the camera was triggered and recordings were made. Alerts don't show up on the timeline or in the clips pane on the right side. I reverted to version 5.6.4.2 and that camera began...

    Moving Blue Iris

    Hello, N3wb here. Can someone point me to a post or thread that discusses moving the Blue Iris application, database, videos, etc. to a new computer? I want to upgrade hardware and I am wondering if I can have a licensed copy of Blue Iris running on two seperate machines during the migration...

    HELP! Blue Iris has stopped working

    Thanks. So far I have switched to Direct to Disk and added the Substream functionality. CPU usage as gone from ~45% down to ~12%. Great improvement. I will take a look at the frame interval and the bitrate.

    HELP! Blue Iris has stopped working

    I have been spoiled by having owned Logitech Alert 750 cameras before my foray into IP cameras. Logitech used a "store and forward" scheme where motion detection, recording, and temporary storage takes place entirely inside the camera. When activity is low the temporary storage is forwarded to a...

    HELP! Blue Iris has stopped working

    I appreciate the encouragement! I bought Blue Iris based on the fact that this message board seemed to be strongly in support of it. It has been a rough road. From the start it seemed intimidating. Most of what I have learned over the past 18 months has been trial and error. The frustration...

    HELP! Blue Iris has stopped working

    Thanks for your replies. I decided to uninstall / reinstall Blue iris from my original download. Happily the uninstall preserved my camera settings, recordings, .reg settings, etc. The only mistake I made was to apply the latest update to my version 5 install. Since I had let support lapse, I...

Big mistake, rec'd the error message "Blue Iris has stopped working..." after changing the "Hardware accelerated decoding" setting to "Intel®+VideoPostProc". When...
