disabled cameras not showing in console all cameras

Post by back40 »

I must be missing something - i have 12 cameras that are disabled. They used to show up on the console - all cameras - but they are now gone and i can't figure out how to get them back. I checked the log-cameras and they show as disabled so they are still in BI.

NEVER MIND - i figured it out - right click on main camera window and choose to hide disabled cameras. I looked everywhere on the console UI for this - I thought the right-click menu on camera tiles was a camera centric menu - surprised there are global settings on that menu. :roll: :roll:

I'm having the same trouble finding it. I think I understand where you found it but still can't find it. Could you give me a bit more detail on where to find?

Edit: Found it by going to the cameras tab of the Status window.

You now have to go into Exit Layout option, the screen will then go green and then the option to show hidden cams will be there when you right click.

I have 12 cameras installed on BlueIris. But I only see 9 cameras on live view on my console pc. When I do the edit layout and right clicked for SHOW hidden Cameras, but it still not show up. Any idea how to make it show up and tiles across the screen evenly. I do not like to new BI screen layout. Very hard to organized.

Since you mentioned the cameras show as disabled in the log, they are still in the system but not active. You need to re-enable them :cry:

There is a difference between hidden and disabled, click the BI status icon, it looks like a graph chart, it will show all of the cameras, double click a camera that is shown as disabled (it will be greyed out and not show any activity), the settings page will be displayed, look for a check box that says enable on the "General" tab, there is also a check box for hidden just below. Hope that helps!
