Re: Blue Iris 4 -- max connections to camera?

Can you work out what has changed recently, wondering if maybe you’ve installed a Windows update?

Re: Connections Tab

Post a screenshot as an example?

Are you port forwarding or using a VPN for remote access?

Re: Multiple NIC's and subnetting

I'm sure I posted on this thread before but a recent glitch meant that all my posts got removed. My BI PC like others here has 2 network cards installed. 1 is connected to my home network, the other to a POE switch (CCTV LAN) which all the cams are plugged into. All cams have static IPs set as there...

Re: I Am Starting to Regret "Upgrading" to Blue Iris 5

A typical Wi-Fi access point will probably support 2 maybe 3 if you’re lucky wireless cams before you start to see issues which might be adding to the issue. If you really want to keep running wireless cams then you should install additional access points so that you only have a couple of cams conne...

Re: Alerts not showing in list but are recording

In terms of giving remote access to support, only you can decide if you’re happy with doing this. Me personally, I’d have no issues with doing this for the reasons below. BI doesn’t have an official list of cams that it supports and PC configuration that you run it on, this presents a huge issue as ...

Re: Alerts not showing in list but are recording

I’ve also noticed something similar on my system but for me it only seems to affect 2 of my cams. Both are Dahua 5442T, one is a fixed lens, the other a ZE. Both are setup for external triggers via ONVIF with no BI motion detection enabled. Both cams are also cloned with the cloned cams setup with B...

Re: Blue Iris 4 -- max connections to camera?

Did this work before and has recently started misbehaving? What OS do you run?

Re: I Am Starting to Regret "Upgrading" to Blue Iris 5

Having re-read your original post, it does look like you’ve got 2 problems, 1st being that the Wi-Fi cams drop offline which BI won’t like and secondly that Bi crashes. Do you run BI as a service, if not then do so as at least when it does crash the service will auto-restart so you’ll miss a few min...

Re: I Am Starting to Regret "Upgrading" to Blue Iris 5

Ok next thing to try is doing a find/inspect on all your cams including any clones, also check the cams status page to confirm that hardware acceleration is disabled in all the cams.
