    Need new( or ) used hardware, must be SFF or mini

    How much storage space are you looking to have? If you need a 3.5" HDD then an SFF (small form factor) refurb like looney linked would be a good choice if it will fit within your space constraints. Otherwise you can get smaller mini PCs at decent prices but they are not big enough for a 3.5"...

    Remote Access to View EmpireTech Camera?

    Currently you have not given us enough information to allow us to be very helpful. We don't know why you have two routers at the same location or how those are configured or how they interact. We don't even know what brand or model of routers they are. When you connect your router to a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Nothing sticks out to me as problematic in that configuration. There's so much that could be going on in a corporate environment in terms of web proxying for virus scanning and other purposes, it could be tough to track down the cause. Blue Iris's video streaming uses a long-running HTTP...

    FYI Oracle Cloud has a pretty unbelievable free tier which would do a great job of hosting a little linux VM with Zerotier and a reverse proxy server to replace what you have at Vultr. But if you can live with ZeroTier by itself with no reverse proxy, that is actually the more secure option...

    :) The i7-10700 is less than half the performance. I wouldn't buy one, but especially not at $440. That is about double what I think is reasonable for it.

    @ericINT You can see a working nginx configuration example here: Using UI3 with a reverse proxy server This may be a case where Nginx Proxy Manager makes your task harder since last time I used it, it only has a very simple configuration interface that does not expose all the nginx options...

    Anti-dither or equivalent in BI?

    Yes. I don't know how long "minimum time since trigger" has been in there but it looks like exactly what you're asking for.

    automatic resolution & framerate downgrade if footage is older than some threshhold

    It really depends on the exact capabilities of the video processing hardware and also the efficiency of the transcoding pipeline. If the GPU can ingest compressed video and output compressed video, never needing to output and re-ingest the uncompressed images through its PCIe link, then there's...

    automatic resolution & framerate downgrade if footage is older than some threshhold

    I don't think anyone has built software to manage progressively increasing the compression of video as it ages. At least nothing consumer-ready. Although that is a nice sounding concept, it is not practical. Consider that in order to achieve your goals, you would need a system that is capable...

    Guidance Needed after Fried Computer

    Also yes, the original license key is the one you need to use to reactivate. If Blue Iris refuses to activate and says the key has been used too many times, you can contact Blue Iris support via email and ask them to reset it.

    Guidance Needed after Fried Computer

    I think Blue Iris makes registry backups automatically in its program directory. Unless that was off on your system. If the backups exist that will be the easiest thing to import to get the configuration back. Like @Bruce_H said, you can load the registry from the old hard drive and export...

    DHCP and static IP can co-exist on Windows.

    You must be referring to this. Yes, this has been available for decades with the ability to assign multiple static IP addresses (even in different subnets) to one interface. But the Windows stock GUI forces you to disable DHCP in order to assign static IPs. My app lets you assign static IPs...

    DHCP and static IP can co-exist on Windows.

    Traditionally, if you want to assign a static IP to a network interface, you need to disable DHCP on that interface. Well that is no longer the case. There is a lesser-known capability of Windows where you can assign static IP addresses to a network interface that has DHCP enabled. (search...

    How to bypass Windows password

    Assuming it still works, the Autologon tool is probably the easiest way to set it up. Autologon - Sysinternals Also make sure the machine won't go to sleep after some period of inactivity (see Power settings) as typically when restoring from sleep a machine would go to the lock screen.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Well if you used an HTTPS reverse proxy server (such as nginx or stunnel or a cloudflare tunnel) then you could try the "WebCodecs" player. My "todo" list for UI3 has been growing, but I have been busy with other things. This will get tweaked eventually :)

    I would say i7-8700 is a modest upgrade. It is a few generations of minor performance uplifts (intel was lazy back then) and 2 more cores than you have now. Goes for around $140. Dell Precision Tower 3431 PC 3.20GHz Core i7-8700 16GB RAM No HDD/SSD | eBay But if you are willing to spend more...

    Blue Iris UI3

    UI3 doesn't really log anything meaningful (mostly it is just text dumps of error toast messages that show), but what little it does log can be seen by opening the browser's developer tools and looking at the "Console". This log is not persisted anywhere. Once you reload the page it is gone...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @TheWaterbug I haven't seen it happen when I use the timeline so I wonder if there is something special about your system that makes it happen. Typically "video stream was lost" means the connection to Blue Iris (the one which was receiving video) was disconnected and UI3 had to open a new...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I've also been seeing it fairly often on mobile Chrome. This error message is entirely an invention of UI3 because at some point in the past I was having problems with the video player just freezing even though UI3 was still receiving new video frames from Blue Iris. I may need to tweak the...

    Was looking into mini computer for a new Blue iris build. Thoughts on this

    That one you linked is overkill for Blue Iris. Try something with ryzen 5560u, 5600u, 5700u, something in that performance ballpark should be fine and cost half or less. Maybe go for 7735hs if you want to use it for more than Blue Iris. That bumps the price up some but it still should come...

    BI hardware question

    Push notifications to android almost certainly go out on TCP port 443 (HTTPS) to Google's messaging service. The Blue Iris android app talks to Blue Iris's web server which is TCP port 81 by default but you can configure that however you want, and could access it via port forwarding, VPN...

    Limit login sessions to 1 per user

    No to both questions. The only options for per-user session limits are in the "edit user" dialog. Logging off a session automatically when the user logs in elsewhere would be problematic because apps are generally designed to automatically recover lost sessions so you'd end up with them...

    Could BlueIris 6.0 be around the corner?

    Yes, the cheapest option at that point would be to subscribe to the cheapest support plan extension, which is typically the 1 year renewing plan which you can simply cancel just after the payment goes through so you don't get charged again. Many of us running Blue Iris 5.x are using our old...

    Anyone tried these 2mm thermals?

    I have several cheap thermal cameras which perform similarly. They're fun but not super practical. For the still-very-high cost, I think most people would rather just get better cameras or AI accelerators and use AI to improve their alerts rather than a thermal cam.
