    So, I’ve had BI and HA (along with loads of other smart home, automation and home lab type stuff running for years) Keeping just to BI and HA.

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    OK so 24hrs since my upgrade, I’ve not had any issues, I’ve even made various config changes to some of my cams to test and everything is working great. Feels like the recent changes are mainly cosmetic.

    v5 run as service asking for system pw

    You don't have to reinstall, create a new 2nd user account, make it a local account and also an administrator account, with a password, tell the blue iris service to use that account and use your current account linked to MS with your pin as normal

    Question about Blue Iris and Home Assistant on the Same Machine

    You won't have any issues running BI and HA and CP.AI and other stuff all on the same PC providing it have enough RAM/memory to cope, I've done this for years without any problems. Unless you plan to have many cameras, an older 6th gen i5 or i7 (I think it was Intel Skylake) system/desktop PC...

    Possible to have BI sent audio motion detection notification to Alexa ?

    Home Assistant is a very very deep rabbit hole and is very addictive, you start off with a few smart lights, and before you know it you have a whole smart home, lighting, heating, sensors, CCTV feeds, automation routines, hottub control, vacuum cleaner my list goes on and on and smart control...

    Possible to have BI sent audio motion detection notification to Alexa ?

    I'm doing this in two different ways on two different BI systems. At my mums house, I use Voice Monkey because It's very simple to set up for a simple Alexa announcement that there is motion. "Someone is at the front door" when there is a person at the front of the house/driveway. On my...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    I've got a Blue Iris and Code Project AI (with CUDA) running perfectly well on two systems, Windows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Home - I don't notice any difference between them for the purpose of BI and CP.AI, but I much prefer day to day usage of Win10 over Win11 mainly due to the OS UI (Windows 11...

    Defrag

    Solid State Drives (SSD) Do not need to be defrag, but do need optimization to TRIM the drive (make old deleted blocks ready to be writable again) even this is not critical as modern OS and modern drives TRIM on the fly without issues. Hard Disks (HDD standard magnetic spinning drives) that are...

    just got home starting my computer and clicked on Blue Iris icon and got this

    Certs don't work like this. The issuer is NOT BI it's a CA (certificate authority) company like Verisign, GoDaddy, DigiCert, Thawte, GloabalSign etc etc - They generate chains of trust by generating CAs from their heavily guarded root CA and then eventually down the chain they sign certificates...

    v5 run as service asking for system pw

    I would recommend setting a password to log in to your PC, if your house is broken into and your PC stolen it will offer a little more protection, ideally you want a password/pin and also enable Windows bitlocker (drive encryption) at least on the boot drive.
