Re: Blue Iris video feed "proprietary formatting" (for Apple TV)

Press and hold the TV button on the remote and it appears on screen as shown here. https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/use-tvos-control-center-atvb5f549664/tvos Thanks, I always thought there should be a way to interact with the HomeKit objects from the Apple TV (although unless I'm missing somethin...

Re: Can no longer connect cameras...

Sounds like your subnet changed when you plugged into a different router so the cameras are no longer on the same subnet. You would need to look at the video tab settings for each camera to find out what IP they where configured for then setup a machine (other than your BI server) with a static IP i...

Re: Blue Iris video feed "proprietary formatting" (for Apple TV)

Late reply, but I got this working using some open source Homekit software. I can view all of my BI cams on the Apple Home app and on the Apple TV. The software is https://homebridge.io/ and the instructions for adding cameras from BI are at https://sunoo.github.io/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg/configs/...

Re: Capturing video on android phone

All you should have to do is start playing back the clip using the Android app, when it gets to the part you want to save hit the video camera icon and it should start recording then hit it again when your ready to stop and it should generate the file and save to your phones gallery. You may need to...

Re: Export clips mobile app

While playing back the clip click the video icon to start recording what is playing back then click it again when it gets past the end of the relevant activity and it will save to the phones gallery.

Re: Camera Discovery shows nothing

Just an FYI, having UPnP enabled on your router allows devices to create port forwarding rules without you approving them which would expose those devices to the internet. For security it's best to disable UPnP on the router and all devices and manually setup port forwarding rules (as a last resort,...

Re: blurry video when I double-click to maximize screen initially

It sounds like you're using sub streams and it's taking longer than normal to change to the primary stream. I see the same behavior with blocking the neighbors house where it will show the blackout in place on the sub stream but not on the main stream although my system changes to the main stream wi...

Re: upgrade ver 3 to 5

You'd have to send that question to support@blueirissoftware.com but I'd guess you'd need to purchase a new license to go up that far. You definitely would need an active service license.

Re: Snow Flakes at Night Trigger Record Event

DeepStack AI integration with BI helps reduce false alerts greatly but won't eliminate it completely, I've still had a wasp landing on the lens trigger an alert but it does make those false alerts so few and infrequent that I allow it to override do not disturb on my phone at night.

Re: motion fails to record all movement

The few times I messed with the sensitivity in BI it seemed to make motion detection worse, I'd try resetting those settings to factory and see if it works better. QNAP at least uses the ONVIF signals from the camera by default for motion detection relying on the cameras event detection, Synology ma...
