Blue Iris 6.0.1.27 released Jan 25, 2026 (New Release)

Fixed:
An issue preventing some custom models from being used with built-in AI
An issue where clips from excluded cameras were never included regardless of the state of the “include clips from excluded cameras” selection.
Changed:
Revised the AI model pack download to include custom models for delivery vehicles, packages as well as the well-known ipcam-dark, and ipcam-animal modules. New object labels from these modules will be automatically categorized as animal, vehicle.
Also switched out the models used for plate detection and plate OCR in the revised AI model pack, and included the yolov8m for use a higher-accuracy primary model
More appropriate colors are now used to denote periodic/static object states for static-missing (grey) and static-escaped (amber gold)

Blue Iris 6.0.1.23 released Jan 22, 2026 (New Release)

Fixed:
An issue where when sharing audio between cameras, the audio played from only one of these cameras when in a camera cycle via web/app client
An issue where AI periodic scan rules were overriding zone restrictions if the object was in a masked area (no zones)
An issue where the sub stream was not properly decoded for pre-trigger AI confirmation images if the compression did not match the main stream (H264 v H265).

Blue Iris 6.0.1.22 released Jan 21, 2026 (New Release)

Blue Iris 6.0.1.20 released Jan 20, 2026 (New Release)

Fixed:
An issue introduced in 6.0.1.16 where pre-trigger image objects may not have been marked as static
On Settings/AI the server address will be automatically parsed to remove protocol specifier and place the port number into the port box.
An issue where a camera selection for features of several action set actions (such as email, include an image from another camera) will alter the behavior of &NAME and other camera-specific macros.
An issue where the static/periodic scan was not giving enough weight to similar category objects such as car/truck, which the detection often confuses in low-confidence scenarios.
Added:
Experimentation with a replacement ALPR OCR ONNX.

Blue Iris 6.0.1.19 released Jan 19, 2026 (New Release)

Blue Iris 6.0.1.18 released Jan 18, 2026 (New Release)

Fixed:
Critical issues with RTMP, HLS, non-standard RTSP camera streaming (old Reolink models included)
Changed:
UI3 update to 315

Blue Iris 6.0.1.17 released Jan 16, 2026 (New Release)

Changed:
Continued tweaking of the algorithm for periodic AI scanning and static object determination
Added:
A check for security software and possible LSP (layered service provider) interference, which can cause socket and camera problems. These are now posted to the Status/Log upon startup to assist with verification of the required Security Software Exemptions.
