    NVR/Storage Array Recommendations

    I need to setup a camera system for one of my stores which requires extensive camera coverage and 90 days storage. I'd like to get thoughts here regarding a setup. I have setup HikVision cameras, Wisenet cameras, SmartViewer, BlueIris and that Hikvision NVR software as well. I'm open to a...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I just upgraded today. A few steps I went through. 1. Installed, asked if I wanted to run I said ok. 2. Ran fine, told to uninstall v4 so I did. 3. Rebooted to double check everything was fine. 4. BI5 lost all settings, restored from backup to BI5. 5. Rebooted BI5 has all settings now but...

    New Ring Alarm System 199

    I don’t trust the motion sensors with the animals. Maybe I will run some tests if it’s possible to disconnect from monitoring temporarily.

    New Ring Alarm System 199

    It really bothers me I bought and installed this system only to find out there is no way to add glass break sensors. I have Alexa Guard setup but is there anything else I can do?

    Anyone using IPC-EBW81230 in BI?

    I'm thinking of adding a IPC-EBW81230 to BI and was wondering if BI is able to dewarp the image or if the camera can do it itself before coming into BI? Thank you.

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    Yes this is during live vie and the motherboard only has VGA. Hardware decode was set to no. I did restart after setting Hardware Accerlated decode.

    Yes on the monitor connected via vga to onboard video card. When I connect to AMD with DVI it looks better. Also I noticed running it without the AMD card motion seems to spike the CPU higher.

    I forgot that bit. I added the AMD card back in since. But I did just enable default hardware encoding and I'm at 6% CPU at idle now, 5.4% with console closed, 36% if using iPhone app.

    No real difference after pulling the card as far as CPU. It seems the live views quality is not as good. GPU engine and GPU percentage are blank in Task Manager.

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    I change FPS to 15 from 20 and got CPU down to 12% from 19%. I have this processor, Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Product Specifications Right now I think the onboard intel video is being overridden by an AMD Radeon 5450 that is plugged into a slot (it came with the...

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    I'm hovering at 19%, I've seen it go as high as 66% when there is a lot of motion. I'm considering adding a discreet 6 MP fish eye near the street, I'm thinking that may put my CPU utilization and storage at a bad place.

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    Am I safe to enable the h264+ and h265+ since I'm having BI detect motion etc?

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    The 4mp are setup for h264 and 8mp at h265 does BI compress to these formats or does BI have a less compress or more compressed format?

    BlueIris Help with alerts and storage

    Hi Everyone, I've had success putting BlueIris behind OpenVPN and setting up just about everything. I'm very happy with BlueIris and have much admiration for the developer as I've been writing software for many years and respect the time and effort this software must've taken. The software is...

    Remove www directory contents for security

    Yes I’m going to dial that in tomorrow. Right now I have the cameras setup to a router with no WAN into a second ethernet card on BI server. The first card connects to the LAN and has internet access. I have multiple external IP addresses at my disposal so I may use one with a pfsense box for an...
