I have a PTZ camera in the front of my house that I would like to go to a certain preset at a certain time/day and then move back to it's normal setting at a certain time. Is this possible to do in Blue Iris? I haven't been able to find a setting. Thanks!

I've got my security system for my home pretty much complete, and I'm happy with the coverage and performance. Now what I want is some form of 2-way intercom system. So when I'm at work or in the detached garage I can send my two small kids or wife a quick message ("Stop putting glue in your...

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough. The way he describes it, it sounds like they essentially ripped the camera off of it's mount and cut/disconnected the wire running to it. Then they stole all of the computer stuff, which that camera was recording to.

I run a home lab (home server) which my security system runs on. A post over on /r/homelab got me thinking today. A person had their mother's home broken into, the thief or thieves pulled the security camera wires, and then stole the server equipment as well, so he has no video recorded, it's...

Been using Blue Iris for a while now and I love it. I would like to connect up a separate monitor or TV in my family room that will be solely for displaying the camera feeds. I'm looking for the cheapest possible way with the lowest power consumption that I can get while still having a decently...

The system overall is running fine, so hardware acceleration isn't really needed at this point. It's just a small home security system using 2x 3MP cameras and 2x 4MP cameras, might expand to 2 more eventually. I've allocated 4 cores of one of my Xeon E5-2670 and 8GB of RAM. CPU utilization...

I'm running Blue Iris in a virtual machine, I was hoping I could install it onto my 5400rpm 1TB virtual drive, but I now want to load it on a small SSD. I've got a small 60GB SSD, could I do a Windows 10 + Blue Iris (nothing else) install on a 60GB SSD then have the recording saved to the 1TB...

I've recently put together a popular server/workstation build, dual Xeon E5-2670's, 64GB RAM, 250GB SSD, etc running Windows Server 2012 R2. I'm a CS student and I'll be using this machine for Blue Iris but also for a lot of learning and experimenting. Question is, should I run Blue Iris in a...

I'm currently running (testing really) Blue Iris on my main system (i7-6700k, etc) and of course everything is running fine, but I don't want this system running 24/7. In a post from 2012 on this forum I saw someone recommending the HP 8300 computer. There is a local computer shop with several...
