    (SOLVED!) Remote Viewing PTZ issue using URL from BI: New PTZ Camera

    I think you logged in with a different user account on the phone since there is no Clips tab showing in that screenshot. Try the 3 buttons in the upper right > Log out, and log in again.

    Create separate "dog" channel

    There's a UI setting for this. But no way to set that with a URL parameter. You'd need to pre-configure this setting to open the "First" (top) item in the list when it loads.

    Excessive CPU load with newer versions than 5.8.6.7 version of BI

    If your baseline is 85% CPU usage, it really does not take much to bump it up to 100%. 85% is already considered excessive. Here are some things I recommend you do: 1. Check task manager to see how much of the CPU usage is Blue Iris and how much is something else. 2. Make sure direct-to-disk...

    What is with these extensive network racks?

    Lol no kidding. For a while I was thinking about running 3 identical servers in a 'proxmox' cluster for virtual machines using "ceph" for distributed storage. Then any one of the servers could fail and the other two would instantly boot up the virtual machines with no data loss. But then I...

    What is with these extensive network racks?

    Even when you consider that most of those servers are probably cheap old stuff from ebay, it costs a lot to fill even one rack, let alone 3 or 4 like that guy. And then it costs more over time to run them and keep them cool!! I only got my first rack last year, just a cheap 42U open frame from...

    disable desktop frames possible?

    It is worth mentioning that newer versions of Blue Iris don't allow dragging cameras from the main view anymore, so I think the drag lock function is only found in older BI versions. In the current Blue Iris, you must click a button to enter "Edit layout" mode in order to drag cameras.

    ptz controls not showing in UI3

    The PTZ controls only appear while you're on the "Live View" tab, and you may need to click on the word "PTZ" at the top of the side bar if you've accidentally collapsed it.

    This overlay randomly applying itself

    The checkbox to disable Blue Iris's timestamp overlay is on the Video tab. If it is already unchecked and appearing for some other reason (e.g. a bug), you can Edit overlays and just delete the timestamp overlay altogether, then it should be impossible for it to show up in any future thumbnails.

    Why do Amazon delivery drivers lie?

    Way too much text. Make it 5 words or less and have a big clear arrow showing which way to go.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Sounds like BI bugs in the latest few versions. I haven't seen a problem yet myself.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hi. For #1 you are correct, there is no URL parameter. For #2, I have no idea why it would not work.

    best 5g for blue iris

    All 5G home internet services should support inbound connections on IPv6. I'm not sure if Asus routers support IPv6 listening for their VPN servers... If you want IPv4 inbound, it will most likely cost extra monthly if it is available at all, and I couldn't say who makes it available. I'd...

    What display do you use ?

    With the extender items he linked above, yes. Note how it mentions "over gigabit ethernet switch" in the name, and TCP/IP in the description. That means they are capturing the incoming HDMI signal, compressing and streaming it over your LAN, then decoding and outputting it as HDMI again on the...

    Searching for a router that has a common DHCP and supports VLAN

    @Coltect I'm curious about OpenWRT and how favorably it compares to pfsense. How difficult is it to set up advanced things like the VPNs and VLANs and multiple DHCP servers? Do you need to use a command line interface for anything? I've been a pfsense user for several years. I like that it...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Consider that plant too with regard to camera positioning. If it grows much higher it may block a camera's view or otherwise affect its image quality with strong IR reflection.

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    Good question. Nothing is perfect, but I'd still trust OpenVPN with weak configuration far more than I'd trust the P2P option. With the P2P route, you are letting your NVR connect to someone else's servers and you can't know what kind of risks that opens you up to. There could be...

    Upgrading from BI 4.8.6.3 on Win7 to BI 5.x on Win10

    The cleanest path is certainly to start over from scratch with new configuration. Like just the other day I ended up deleting and re-creating one of my cameras because it was the only way to make its video not freeze when I had audio support enabled for the camera.

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    It is unclear to me if updating firmware will help. Asus's website says: That is higher than anything available for RT-AC86U so you can't use wireguard on it even if you update. Whether an update would help with the OpenVPN situation or not, I have no idea. Maybe that would give you a new...
