    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.

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

    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...

    iOS push notifications stopped working

    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...

    I changed my config to no longer use the NAS, but still got the error last night.

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

    Are you writing BI files to a NAS? I ask because I am, and my NAS is complaining about a drive throwing errors. Can't help wondering if they're related.

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

    Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting almost the exact same error: "Log: Encountered unexpected file [camera name.log stopping" and this error is happening at midnight as well.

    Who is using Axis cameras because they're not Chinese?

    I know this "apples and oranges" but, via Wireshark some years ago, I caught a Wi-Fi outlet sending my SSID and password to the Internet. I now have my (soon-to-be-replaced) webcams on a subnet that cannot access the Internet.

    Who is using Axis cameras because they're not Chinese?

    Maybe I need to be fitted for an an aluminum foil hat, but I just can't move myself to buy Dahua or Hikvision, no matter how superlative they may be. What Axis cameras are y'all using?

    Yikes. "Hikvision is described as 'partnering with Chinese intelligence entities' "

    "Chinese companies have CCP representation within the companies .. and do expect all companies in China to have to follow Chinese Law .. and that imho includes related espionage" Yes,sir-ee Bob! Ever since I Wireshark'd a cheap Walmart Wi-Fi switch sending my SSID and password out to some...

    Yikes. "Hikvision is described as 'partnering with Chinese intelligence entities' "

    Chinese surveillance technology giant Hikvision has denied it is illegally disguising its products sold to the US government to enable Chinese espionage. It was responding to BBC queries about allegations revealed in a recently leaked Pentagon document. But Hikvision did not answer questions...

    Blue Iris Rich Notifications not working over LAN -- Work fine on Cellular

    Oddly, this only just started happening. But I've also seen discussions here and on other forums that updates to BI seem to have broken notifications for lots of people. When I tried testing alerts from the application on my BI server, it crashed the GUI. Even though I have it check for and...

    [Solved] Anyone else having push notifications issues/failures on Android?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Nanook! I didn't realize the test button was now the lightning bolt (it used to be in the window where you selected the audio alert). When I did that, I got the helpful feedback that the alert I'm troubleshooting spanned another profile - once I un-selected the...

    [Solved] Anyone else having push notifications issues/failures on Android?

    I believe my notifications issue did, in fact, coincide with an update. I don't think (but can't be sure) it was the "big" update to Android 10, but one of the subsequent ones.

    [Solved] Anyone else having push notifications issues/failures on Android?

    My phone stopped getting push notifications sometime in the past few weeks. It's a T-Mobile Galaxy S9 and I cannot think of any tweaks or changes I would have made to disable notifications from the official Blue Iris app. My first troubleshooting was to uninstall/reinstall it, and then verify I...

    Force Blue Iris to Move Files

    @gfaulk09 - I just added a Synology NAS to my network and was having issue with BlueIris falsely alerting a lack of space. The "Do not check disk space" checkbox bought me some relief until I could check a few things. For example, from the BI Help file (below) I verified the account running the...

    No log events for pausing cameras?

    I use stream 0 and 1 for each of the cameras for which I wish to receive alerts, so I record all motion via stream 0, and use stream 1 with masks, etc. for alerting. I could have gone back and replayed footage of day-after-day, but it wasn't worth the time. I emailed BI support, and Ken...

    No log events for pausing cameras?

    Oh yes - as many things Blue Iris does, it'd be child's play I'm sure. I just wanted to exhaust my resources before emailing!

    No log events for pausing cameras?

    I'm usually at work whenever my lawn guy does my yard, so when I see from the alerts that it's him, I'll pause my cameras for, say, an hour. He's not coming as often as he's supposed to, so before I talked to him, I thought I'd be able to just look in the Blue Iris"YYYYMM.txt" log files and get...
