Re: New Error?

No idea but it would be worth checking in your BI clips folders to see if that shortcut file is there? I don't see any .lnk files in any of the clip directories but there are some in some of the other BI dirs. Nothing has changed in ages apart from BI updates, no system changes at all. The log does...

Re: Forum Spam. Report it.

I'm not seeing the buttons in the image you showed.

I've wanted a button to report spam posts for a long time, but it's never been visible. The image below shows what users of the forum see, and no Report buttons are visible.

Why you don't use wifi cams for real security

This is why you don't use wifi cams for real security...they're fine for a baby monitor or low-value areas, but not for real security.

Re: Solar wifi ip camera

How about the self-powered RS-Hamster-Binford5000 IP ptz cameras. The box is a bit big, but it's for a hamster wheel and a little hamster condo. All you need to do if remember to add food from time to time... or... well... the camera stops! :shock: I think they send you an extra hamster in case the...

Re: Delayed push notifications

I don't know what carriers you're on, but T-Mobile delays my alert texts anywhere from 2 minutes to 24 hours depending on how many text alerts I'm getting. If I get one or two alerts then they come in very quickly. If I get a slew of alerts, T-Mobile starts slowing them down. I'm pretty sure they're...

Re: Blue Iris setup remotely

Re: Why does Blue Iris continue to do business with Fenderman and Ip Cam Talk?

I have a few accounts there and Blunderman knows it, but he can't find them and he can't do a thing about it. It drives him nuts because he wants to ban me (of course lol) but he hasn't a clue as to which accounts are mine. Hey Flubberman, I know you're reading this so here's a hint: I was browsing ...

Re: BI background process monitoring?

Just a guess, but it may be that those spikes are from other processes or possibly BI moving files around or doing its housekeeping.
