I would say i7-8700 is a modest upgrade. It is a few generations of minor performance uplifts (intel was lazy back then) and 2 more cores than you have now. Goes for around $140. Dell Precision Tower 3431 PC 3.20GHz Core i7-8700 16GB RAM No HDD/SSD | eBay But if you are willing to spend more...

UI3 doesn't really log anything meaningful (mostly it is just text dumps of error toast messages that show), but what little it does log can be seen by opening the browser's developer tools and looking at the "Console". This log is not persisted anywhere. Once you reload the page it is gone...

@TheWaterbug I haven't seen it happen when I use the timeline so I wonder if there is something special about your system that makes it happen. Typically "video stream was lost" means the connection to Blue Iris (the one which was receiving video) was disconnected and UI3 had to open a new...

I've also been seeing it fairly often on mobile Chrome. This error message is entirely an invention of UI3 because at some point in the past I was having problems with the video player just freezing even though UI3 was still receiving new video frames from Blue Iris. I may need to tweak the...

That one you linked is overkill for Blue Iris. Try something with ryzen 5560u, 5600u, 5700u, something in that performance ballpark should be fine and cost half or less. Maybe go for 7735hs if you want to use it for more than Blue Iris. That bumps the price up some but it still should come...

Push notifications to android almost certainly go out on TCP port 443 (HTTPS) to Google's messaging service. The Blue Iris android app talks to Blue Iris's web server which is TCP port 81 by default but you can configure that however you want, and could access it via port forwarding, VPN...

No to both questions. The only options for per-user session limits are in the "edit user" dialog. Logging off a session automatically when the user logs in elsewhere would be problematic because apps are generally designed to automatically recover lost sessions so you'd end up with them...

Ok, here's my best one. (500x speed)

Yes, the cheapest option at that point would be to subscribe to the cheapest support plan extension, which is typically the 1 year renewing plan which you can simply cancel just after the payment goes through so you don't get charged again. Many of us running Blue Iris 5.x are using our old...

I have several cheap thermal cameras which perform similarly. They're fun but not super practical. For the still-very-high cost, I think most people would rather just get better cameras or AI accelerators and use AI to improve their alerts rather than a thermal cam.

There are lots of free(ish) VMS products. Shinobi Frigate NVR The Blue Iris license is perpetual, you just can't use updates that were released after your support plan expires.

I think you logged in with a different user account on the phone since there is no Clips tab showing in that screenshot. Try the 3 buttons in the upper right > Log out, and log in again.

There's a UI setting for this. But no way to set that with a URL parameter. You'd need to pre-configure this setting to open the "First" (top) item in the list when it loads.

If your baseline is 85% CPU usage, it really does not take much to bump it up to 100%. 85% is already considered excessive. Here are some things I recommend you do: 1. Check task manager to see how much of the CPU usage is Blue Iris and how much is something else. 2. Make sure direct-to-disk...

Lol no kidding. For a while I was thinking about running 3 identical servers in a 'proxmox' cluster for virtual machines using "ceph" for distributed storage. Then any one of the servers could fail and the other two would instantly boot up the virtual machines with no data loss. But then I...
