Re: Query regarding overallocation and lost footage despite configured free space

I always advocate leaving at least 10% or if you really need the extra space 5% of the total disk space free. Writing to a drive and leaving only 10gb free is a recipe for problems. In terms of overallocation, if BI is writing to an existing clip file it will continue writing even if it means it ove...

Re: Triggering is very unreliable

I’ve personally found the ONVIF triggering for event by my cams to be so much more reliable than any motion detection and AI analysis by BI and Deepstack/CP.

Apart from a couple of clone cams all my cams trigger BI via ONVIF.

Re: Blue Iris Service restarts every few minutes

Report it to support and then roll back to the last stable release.

Re: Random Cameras losing signal at random times, fustrating ongoing issue

I seem to recall Send RTSP keep alives as being an option that you could try disabling.

There’s also an option to treat b/w video as loss of signal so you might want to see if disabling that helps.

Re: Group layout digital zoom

Only thing I can think of is maybe having a standard wide view cam where there is an area of interest so in the group view you want to maintain that zoomed view?

Or maybe a clone where you want to maintain that digital zoom view?

Re: NDAA Compliant Cameras

I think we have discussed this before. My view is that if you run your cameras on a different LAN with no internet connection, it doesn't matter which mothership the cameras attempt to connect to. I agree. A lot of cam manufacturers are charging a lot more for compliant cams, I’d rather pocket the ...

Re: Migrated BI to new Server but license?

As I’ve mentioned before, in my opinion the management of the licensing model is all screwed up. It would would take little to no effort to have all the major stable releases available on the BI website so that users are able to download their required version instead of trying to locate a version o...

Re: Migrated BI to new Server but license?

We see this a lot. It's a mess. You are correct that you either need the older version or a support plan. You can get that older version of BI5, but not from the official site; they keep them at ipcamtalk but it's not a friendly forum. I think I need to bring this to Ken's attention. I raised this ...

Re: Is it possible to use demo version for setup

Doesn't demo mode just mean unlicensed, banner overlay and maybe some features disabled? I would think you could set up the new machine (living with the banner and maybe feature disable) and then move the key from the old machine to the new machine. That’s not what he wants to do, I think he want t...
