Hi Tim It happened again. I'm thinking maybe my E:\stored external drive is not long for this world :( This morning it was turned off and I'm having trouble reading it. If this is the reason, although not happy that I may have to layout more money, but at least I know why BI was over allocating :) T...

Hi Tim No problem at all! Have been experiencing the over allocation problem all week, despite deleting files. Took your advice this morning and changed Alerts file size limit to 1GB then Delete. I've removed the path for Stored_Alerts (this did have some files in it, but I've deleted those). I dele...

Happy New Year! Some strange things have been happening on my system over the last few days and was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar? :?

Hi TimG So sorry for the delay in replying, we’ve been away. Thanks so much for your advice, it’s made a massive difference [emoji4] We haven’t experienced the hard drive filling up problem again and the speed of using Blue Iris is now a dream. We ordered the Purple Drive and installed it ourselves ...

Thanks so much for your help. We have ordered the Purple Drive. [emoji1696] we can update the hardware and I can stop shouting at the PC - although it appears that I have already stopped that bad habit in the last few hours [emoji6] Watching the wildlife in our little piece of Surrey [emoji3071] [em...

OOops yes 1TB!! I’m disabled and use the cameras to watch the wildlife in the garden - become a bit obsessed [emoji38] We post on YouTube and Facebook as Wilkys’ Wildlife Wonders [emoji4] So I think, with your help, I may have had a lightbulb moment! We bought the Dell PC I mentioned second hand so ...

Hi I’m currently running a dedicated PC for Blue Iris linked to 19 IP cameras. The PC is a Dell Optiplex 7050, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz, RAM: 4.43G, 1GB hard drive running Windows 10 Pro and I have a Seagate STEB5000200 5TB expansion USB 3.0 Desktop 3.5” External Hard Drive.

You should be able to fix this problem by downloading the runtime directly from Microsoft. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads You'll need to download the Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 version (it's all the same). I installed both the x86 and...

Hi

I’m looking to purchase a new external hard drive to store BI footage onto. Are there any recommendations on what I should look for? Am thinking 4-6TB.

Thanks in advance
