Re: How to install down-rev version?

You should be able to install the latest and then run the update to regress it. Wow, that actually worked! Thanks for the tip. I wouldn't have guessed that on my own. It looks like it's possible to recreate any old version you want to by installing the current full version and then applying whateve...

Re: How to install down-rev version?

What version is this install? https://blueirissoftware.com/#download Disregard, without actually installing it - it appears to be the current version. I'm surprised thats recompiled and posted with every update. In any event, why not just renew your support for $30? 5.0.x was a pretty long time ago...

Re: How to install down-rev version?

It would be illegal to distribute software - even on this forum. I would suggest contacting BI Support. Uh, thanks, but I wasn't suggesting pirating any software. (Never mind that I've already paid for it.) I was hoping someone helpful might point me to a link where earlier revisions are available....

How to install down-rev version?

My computer crashed and I need to reinstall BI5. Trouble is, my support license has expired, so I can't simply download and install the current version; I need to install an older version from before my support cutoff date. I can find all the updates online, but they're just that: updates, not a ful...

Can't Delete Alerts; "Source file format is corrupt"

Trying to delete a few old alert videos, but Blue Iris won't do it. It complains that that the file is in use/busy. Closing and restarting BI doesn't help. Restarting Windows doesn't help. These same files that BI won't delete also won't play. BI complains "Source file is corrupt." However...

Re: New iOS App Is Deleting Protected Videos

That comes next. I wanted to do a sanity check first to make sure I wasn't just being stupid.

New iOS App Is Deleting Protected Videos

Just got the new iOS app, and so far I'm not impressed. The biggest problem is that it deletes alert videos that I'd marked to flag/protect. Every few days I lose a few more. I went from a dozen saved videos, to six, to two, down to just one. Before the iOS update, saved videos were saved forever. N...

Re: Whats the deal with updates

Count me among the frustrated.

Where can I find each specific older version to download? Apparently I need to downgrade mine to whatever was current the day before my one-year support expired.

Re: How to synchronize profiles with light levels?

Thanks for the tips. I've been playing with the camera-specific schedule for a few weeks, and it's... not great. Part of the problem is that Blue Iris only supports a subset of the camera's settings. For example, the camera has several settings for exposure, but Blue Iris only knows about a few of t...

How to synchronize profiles with light levels?

Like a lot of cameras, my Hikvision bullet cams can automatically switch between full-color "day" mode and low-light "night" mode, based on ambient light. When they do, I'd also like Blue Iris to switch profiles so that its motion detection and sensitivity changes accordingly. Bu...
