    Network Debug Basics

    Wow thanks for that tip didn’t even consider rolling back BI to see if that’s the issue. Is there a certain release that you’re finding to be more stable than the latest? Just trying to avoid trying 15 different versions if there is a known good one.

    Network Debug Basics

    Lately, I've been having some problems with my live cam feeds lagging when being viewed remotely, and I'm a bit perplexed about how to even identify the source of the lag so that I can repair or replace whatever the issue may be. I'm running 16 hardwired cams with the latest Blue Iris 5 with...

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using? Maybe the NVR app I was using is outdated and I need to try something new.

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    I've been running both a Dahua WizMind NVR & Blue Iris for the past 5+ years and I've spent an estimated 200+ hours tinkering with Blue Iris over that time and have upgraded both my cameras and NVR and of course stayed on top of Blue Iris changes. For me, the #1 thing I wanted when I installed...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Your experience is abnormal, likely due to a configuration error on your side. Ubiquity has probably 10+ million active customers (Okay I made that up) who have been using them daily in both a residential to enterprise setup for years without any major issues. I have most of their products and...

    Dahua AcuPick

    This is soo sad but honestly true. Ugh. My guess is that you are correct. How useful is it to track the wife or kids around various cameras in the house? I guess it would be cool to track guests or strangers around, but as you said, in a home environment with limited cams its probably a...

    Dahua AcuPick

    Does anyone have an AcuPick enabled NVR & Camera that can provide some unbiased feedback on just how useful this AI feature actually is and if they feel it was worth the upgrade? Specifically I am wondering how well the accuracy is and if it requires face-level cameras to accurately work or...

    3D Positioning in Blue Iris

    Is anyone else having problems with the 3D Positioning feature in Blue Iris? Any recommended troubleshooting steps to try? I have the SD5A425XA-HNR from Andy @ EmpireTech and everything works great, when I am using the NVR I can drag a red box around the POI and it will center in on that box...

    Look for a human tracking Dahua PTZ camera.

    I have the Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ that I bought from Andy @ EmpireTech about 2 years ago, specifically for the Auto PTZ feature and I must say that it works VERY well. I'm not using spotter cams (although I should give that a try one day) but again just wanted to...

    Incredible Performance With the Intel NUC 12

    My old i7-6700 finally started to crap out after 7 years of running 24/7 so after some research I decided to get the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Edition from B&H Photo & Video which has the i7-12700H and threw in 64GB Ram along with a Gen4 NVMe all for around 2K shipped overnight. It's...

    FTP Backups

    Thanks, so in the Clips & Archiving screen should I leave the folder path blank since its set on the main FTP settings page?

    FTP Backups

    I have FTP backups configured in BI Settings to my NAS and have a base folder set as "/BlueIris/Stored/" which passes the test successfully. Now when I go to Clips & Archiving and set up the New folder to queue for backup, do I need to enter "/BlueIris/Stored/" again or would that resort in...
