    Blue Iris Release 5.6.0.4 Crashed My System

    FWIW, I just rolled back from 5.6.0.7 to 5.5.9.6. When I upgraded to 5.6.0.7, clips from that point forward no longer appeared. Clips prior to the upgrade continued to show, and alerts appeared, however. I hadn't done a DB repair/regenerate yet, but was about to....right until I read this...

    CPU choice for Blue Iris server (2000 MP/s)

    FWIW, using sub-streams makes a significant difference in CPU usage, at least, on my system. 12 cameras, 24x7x365 recording (D2D), with motion detection on an older Intel i5-4950 @ 3.30GHz CPU. Since moving to BI v5, CPU usage had climbed, hovering in the ~70+% range. I enabled sub-streams...

    BI motion highlighting

    Yep, that did it. Thanks, fenderman.

    BI motion highlighting

    I have configured all but one of my 9 cameras to trigger based on motion, but specifically NOT to highlight the motion. However, in all recorded videos, BI draws a box around the item that causes the trigger, with purple shading. I don't want the highlighting, as it makes it nearly impossible...

    I had similar questions, specifically with a Synology NAS. Check this thread

    Connecting Axis A8105-E Video Door Station to BI

    If BI isn't providing some $$ to fenderman for his support time on here, they should be. Changing the make to "Axis", model to "M/P/Q series H264" did the trick - video and audio now appear in BI. Thanks for the quick help, fenderman.

    Connecting Axis A8105-E Video Door Station to BI

    Hardware accelerated decode is set for "NO" FWIW, the make is defined as "Generic/ONVIF", model is "RTSP H.264/H.265/MJPEG/MPEG4", like nearly all of my other cameras.

    Connecting Axis A8105-E Video Door Station to BI

    A few days ago, a colleague gave me a NIB Axis A8105-E to add to my existing BI installation. It's successfully on my network, and the Axis companion app works when the doorbell button is pressed - I get video and 2-way audio to the companion app on my iOS device. However, I'm unable to get my...

    Your current preferred way to access BI on cell phone?

    I wanted to qualify my initial post - I use Team Viewer, on my mobile phone, to access my BI server when I'm not at home/on my home network. When I am home, but not in front of the BI server, I use the BI app.

    Blue iris and CPU consumption as it relates to memory usage

    @cam26 - the behavior has changed. Currently running BI v4.8.5.0. Still have 8 cameras, although one is now a PTZ with audio (previous config was all fixed cams, no audio). CPU usage stays relatively consistent @ ~45%, MEM @ ~2GB. If I use the timeline playback to view ALL 8 cameras...

    Your current preferred way to access BI on cell phone?

    I've been using TeamViewer to access my BI server from my mobile phone. It's been working for over a year, flawlessly.

    BI won't move files

    It took me a bit to dig through the BI Help section, as well as search the forum.....the most helpful thread I discovered, specifically regarding network drives, was this one. Thanks for the assistance.

    BI won't move files

    Along similar lines....my BI setup was configured to move files to an external USB, which worked perfectly. Yesterday, I added a new NAS to our network, mapped a drive (S) created a "Storage" folder, and reconfigured BI to move clips there. However, it isn't moving any files. The log file...

    Blue Iris behavior after recording HDD becomes full.

    After SouthernYankee posted his info, I went back to the "clips" window, and realized I hadn't changed the drop down from "Alerts" to "All". It's now showing all the clips in the storage folder dating back to 08/30/2018. Thanks for the help. Sometimes I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box.....

    Blue Iris behavior after recording HDD becomes full.

    Thanks, fenderman. I have archiving set up, but I'm storage-space (and budget) constrained. The recording HDD is 4TB, the archive HDD is only 1TB - I'm recording 8 cameras 24x7, and I KNOW I don't have enough drive space. To help avoid this in the future, I've ordered an 8TB drive, plus an...
