I think it is to stop somebody attempting to use the same key on multiple pc's at the same time. It must have happened so they protect against it. It's been fairly normal with my home automation software(s) too. Annoying but surmountable. Can't say I agree with that. They already prevent BI from ru...

From the help file (BlueIris.PDF): The software is licensed per-PC (or VM). You may re-install and move the license to new hardware up to 10 times before it must be manually reset by an email to support. A license includes basic support and maintenance which means access to email software support an...

That does seem strange. I have noticed the math on mine seems a little wonky but still, the way I'm reading that seems to indicate you have things right. Out of curiosity, maybe you've already looked there, but on that Blue Iris Status page... what does the "Clip Storage" tab look like? T...

About a week ago I upgraded from BI 4.x to BI 5. I'm suddenly getting a warning in the status window that I don't understand. The warning icon appears next to an external storage location that I use to archive older clips. Below are screen caps of the status window and the relevant portion of the Cl...

if you go to blue iris settings > web server > advanced, you could add your local subnet into the "limit by IP address" box. I.e. if your subnet is 192.168.1.0/24 then add in "+192.168.1.*" to that box. This would allow any host address for that subnet to access the web server. ...

I run two cameras with BI 5 on a home LAN and do not need remote access. The Cameras tab in the Status window shows that there is web casting occurring. How can I make sure that the cameras are only communicating with the local LAN via the wireless router only...and not broadcasting to the internet?

The only way I could almost completely eliminate false alerts with snow or shadows was spending $50 a year for Sentry AI's smart alerts through BI. Now I only get alerts on people or vehicles on our driveway and people on most of the other cameras, it still records every motion detected it just doe...

You can increase the 'Min. duration (Make Time)' to a value that is longer than the lighting effect, and, still short enough to trigger them walking up to and into your porch. I'd say a value of 1 second should do it. So it turns out that after hours and hours of trying to understand what specific ...

Thanks a ton for your help. I'll play with that and report back.

I'm getting an unacceptable number of false triggers due to lighting changes. I'm not sure what settings I should be tweaking so I would appreciate any tips on how to reduce the number of false triggers. I've included a link to a YouTube video showing the lighting changes - I just did a screen recor...
