    Can 1 cat5e power two ip cams?

    The one you bought does not support PoE. There should be plenty that would work if you look here: Amazon.de : poe passthrough switch Not everything in amazon search results will be compatible. You need specifically something that has PoE input and PoE output. It may say PoE extender or PoE...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @TheWaterbug I'm glad it is working better now. Ken was recently doing some work on web-served timeline streaming code to fix various issues with seeking, so if this issue was only affecting UI3's timeline tab, that may have been highly related. Failures like that are awful! One of the things...

    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    Yup, the current remote update capability is extremely primitive. UI3 knows only the version number of the available update e.g. "5.9.9.65". Nothing else. Not any kind of release notes, release date, other available version numbers, etc. Just the one version number of the update that Blue...

    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    Please complain to BI support about this. This feature (BI telling web clients when an update is available) was added 3 months ago, and I warned Ken about this possible issue way back at that time, asking him to not tell the web client about updates newer than the support expiration date. I...

    lost key?

    Ah, you must have used Blue Iris to export the registry data, and it does some weird badly compressed format where you have to use Blue Iris to import it, and it might be stripping the registration info out when you do.

    lost key?

    You can just stop Blue Iris and restore the registry backup again and retrieve the key before you run Blue Iris again.

    lost key?

    Blue Iris Update Helper on the new machine should also work if you restore the registry file but don't run Blue Iris yet.

    is POE++ a reliable option?

    If it works for two, then it should work for three as long as the total power used by the 3 cameras does not exceed the capability of the power source.

    is POE++ a reliable option?

    There are 3 issues I think. 1. The NVR might not be able to provide enough power for 3 cameras via one port. 2. The NVR software may not support multiple cameras data coming in one port. 3. The splitter you pictured above doesn't mention PoE on it.

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    The stutter/pause every second is due to Blue Iris needing more time to process i-frames, so I think it ends up screwing up the frame timing or possibly dropping a frame or two after each iframe when transcoding for the web server. I think there is nothing you can do about that except using the...

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    Somehow Blue Iris thinks your "low res" cam's sub stream is the same resolution as the main stream. And yet that one appears as low resolution. Very strange. You should check that the camera is still configured as shown in the two screenshots above (which is a good configuration). If the...

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    If you right click the video and choose stats for nerds, it will show you the video stream resolution, bit rate, etc which is very helpful for troubleshooting.

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    Choose the 2160p (4K) streaming quality option in UI3 of course. For optimal quality, avoid the VBR profiles as those are relatively low quality on purpose in order to reduce bandwidth usage. However there's another factor involved for many users. Blue Iris before version 5.9.9.54 was...
