Glad to hear it works ok on Server 2012 R2, thought BI5 was only Win 10 compatible. Sent from my Moto G (5S) using Tapatalk

You'd like the Ring then, as you can mute the doorbell or snooze it when you don't want to be disturbed, or when you know the dogbell is going to get it!

I've got a netgear 24port rack switch, just using it as a dumb internal hub/switch currently. Perhaps I can set the dlink up as a router and put the cable modem into 'modem mode' (disable routing and NAT).

That's a nice idea. More cost now though, as I expect my ISP provided cable modem won't support setting up a VPN (UK Virgin Media)

It's ok, I can see that Blue Iris and those others are aimed at completely different markets. BI is for techies who enjoy the process of getting involved, tinkering and setting things up - niche, and the others are aimed at mass market 'it just works' audience who want the benefits of CCTV...

Hmmm I see. What I'm saying is nest, Arlo and ring seem to be able to do a pretty good job of it, simple setup and good quality.

I'm new to BI, and getting my head around it - it's a bit of a beast for new users. Powerful but not the most intuitive. I have some questions around motion triggered recordings and the playback window, which I couldn't find answers to. Clip window 1. Some clips have a red border around...

I took the plunge and paid for the full version licence - and the recording is spot on now, smooth and great quality. Very happy. Now if only BI could come up with an easier / cloud based way of remote access. It seems like such an important feature, and faffing about with VPNs is awkward.

Yes I read about that and had set it up. I read that the 'Evaluation Version' watermark on the videos means that direct-to-disk doesn't work while in demo mode. Will leave it running over night and report back on the glitching tomorrow. cheers

Thanks for the suggestions. CPU usage was around 77%. I've disabled all but 3 cameras in BI and will monitor how it gets on. The reported framerate in BI has gone up from 9 to 12fps. CPU usage now at 35% Sorry I'm not sure where to set the iframe interval... ?

I've got a problem with smearing artefacts on my recorded video on Blue Iris, and looking for a solution. I am trialling Blue Iris, and installed in on a HP G7 Xeon server, on Windows Server 2012. I've an 8 camera Sannce DVR, and hooked 7 of the cameras up to Blue Iris using the 1080p (12fps)...
