    Are push notifications dead/gone? (v6.0.4.1)

    I switched to SMTP-to-Pushover notifications a while back because of the up/down issues with native push notifications to the Android BI app. Now there's an issue with either my SMTP2GO service or Pushover and notifications are seriously delayed (15-30 minutes). Push notifications aren't...

    [SOLVED] Anyone find a way to get a browser to connect/open a R2 camera's PTZ settings?

    Tried Pale Moon on the same computer running Foscam VMS (and with IPCWC installed) but no joy.

    [SOLVED] Anyone find a way to get a browser to connect/open a R2 camera's PTZ settings?

    I work in I.T. - a couple of years ago we ran this command on most of our servers: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64 –Online -NoRestart There were no observed or reported negative effects afterwards.

    Oh no - no way I'd disrespect your suggestion (and time) like that! I RDP'd into all 4 of my PCs at home to try it. No joy with any of them.

    [SOLVED] Anyone find a way to get a browser to connect/open a R2 camera's PTZ settings?

    I'm successfully using Foscam VMS to edit all the other properties, but I need to get to the PTZ controls in the camera(s) to set the 'Home' or default position on reboot. Anyone figure out which browser (and, I guess, IPC Web Components) to connect to the Foscam R2 cameras?

    Alternatives to Foscam VMS?

    I'm slowly replacing my Foscam cameras with Amcrest models, but Foscam VMS is not accepting known-good usernames and passwords. I installed IPCWebComponents and it seems its password field won't accept the length of one camera's password. Is there a third-part Windows or Android app that lets...

    I have Blue Iris notifications also appear on my Galaxy Watch 5 and, weirdly, pictures/thumbnails show on the watch, but when viewed on my S20+, there are no pictures.

    Weird issue: getting "Signal: network retry" alerts on new camera unless I stay RDP-connected

    I'm on the latest stable release with BI running as a service. I do not have the admin console (GUI) running. Anyone run into this before? Following guidance in these forums, I disabled audio recording, and have experimented with disabling/enabling audio in Windows. I've also tried disabling...

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Maybe???? I renamed the file to *.reg.old and it still threw an error. I moved the file out of that directory. I'm guessing BI goes through that log directory every day, looking for anything older than what we set as the retention limit. Since it can't open that, or the contents aren't the...
