    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    I really don't know what settings change it would take to get rid of the warning you have now. Funny that the firmware update won't work. Maybe you got a firmware file for a different hardware revision. This thread may have a solution to make openvpn work again: Asus OpenVPN Insecure Hash...

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    I'd suggest using wireguard instead of OpenVPN then. Asus routers support it basically the same, though you may need to update the router's firmware. Since you are using a hardware NVR appliance, port forwarding to it is very risky.

    Windows utility to set Hikvision Image Parameters Switch Scenes based on local sunrise sunset times

    As far as I can tell, .net core still does not have any first-party GUI framework that works on linux. You'd have to learn something like this instead to build the user interface. GitHub - AvaloniaUI/Avalonia: Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most...

    Is BI acting weird for anyone else? one camera sees a truck other 3 cameras see nothing?

    @Coldair 5 of your cameras in that clip are frozen since almost a minute before you started recording that screen capture. See the timestamps. I suspect something in Blue Iris's code for creating an alert or clip is hanging up waiting for something that wasn't supposed to take any time at all...

    FBI Warns Of 'Widespread' QR Code Scams By Cybercriminals To Steal Your Money

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Based on that diagram, Blue Iris would see the two cameras but presumably not see the internet (if your router is not part of Vlan 20). Using a different subnet mask is not necessary. To really understand the purpose of the subnet mask, I think it helps to see things in raw binary form. Your...

    Masters of the Air –Why so many bombs in Episode 7? - Fact Checking the March 8, 1944 Mission : WWII US Bombers

    I imagine the show producers just thought a long string of bombs was more awe-inspiring, and that is all the reason they needed.

    Should I go new SSD or whole new computer?

    Yes, PCIe backwards compatibility is good. The SSD should work fine in that board.

    Alternative Live View App

    I think you could move every camera into an individual desktop frame and move them all around and resize them independently of each other. Not sure if the layout will persist between BI crashes though.

    Blue iris security

    What components are they leaving? The computer with Blue Iris on it? If it was purchased from someone you don't know, you should be wary of trusting a Blue Iris system left by a previous owner for reasons of privacy. The computer could have any number of backdoors installed. I'd recommend...

    Should I go new SSD or whole new computer?

    Samsung is generally one of the best, also not the cheapest. I don't know where to find SSD reliability statistics with a meaningful sample size. NVMe is almost always faster than SATA, but the difference will be pretty much irrelevant for Blue Iris.

    Should I go new SSD or whole new computer?

    I wouldn't be majorly concerned with OS security updates on a dedicated Blue Iris box anyway. Consider that the average NVR hardware appliance rarely (if ever) gets updated and is almost certainly harboring worse security holes. By simply not using the machine for web browsing, email, etc...

    Wester digital camera and blue iris

    Take screenshots of all the configuration that could possibly be helpful. Anything video related in the camera's web interface in particular. Screenshots of the camera configuration in Blue Iris may be helpful too.

    Embed iframes

    Web browsers have a limit of the number of simultaneous connections they will make to a single web origin (http://ipaddress:81 is an origin). 6 was the limit for a long time. I thought that was raised for most browsers recently but maybe not. I recommend creating a camera group in Blue Iris...

    Choppy video in UI3

    This certainly shouldn't be different between browsers. I wonder if your Firefox installation has a plugin that is interfering somehow.

    Speed dome optical zoom 5mp camera, not tilting high enough.

    Sounds like the cam is probably defective. But nothing is perfect, maybe there's an easier solution than getting the seller to take it back. Here are some ideas: 1) In its web interface, look for a setting for a tilt height limit (some PTZs have such a setting) 2) In its web interface, look...

    Choppy video in UI3

    Firefox had issues long ago but nothing in recent years unless you're talking about Firefox on Android. My previous advice could shed more light on the problem if you care to pursue it further.

    Image cut in half and distorted

    Looks to me like you had accidentally turned on Blue Iris's fisheye dewarping, probably in "Ceiling" mode. This is in Camera settings > Video tab > 360. It is not intuitively labeled so you may have turned it on not knowing what it is. And furthermore, it doesn't affect live view so by the...

    Choppy video in UI3

    What is the resolution and frame rate of the camera? 4K cams at high frame rate can be rather resource-intensive. Also, are you using wifi for the connection from your web browser to Blue Iris? To gather more data, it would be helpful to right click the video in UI3 and look in the Stats for...

    Doubling Up CAT Cables

    Hi. Yes. There exist products like this which passively split one ethernet cable (8 wires) into two cables (4 wires each), and typically all an IP cam actually needs is 4 wires. However I should note my connection was a bit flaky when using these devices. A better but more expensive option...

    Frame Bottleneck

    Yes, in Blue Iris the FPS/key is a set of two numbers. First number is the frame rate which Blue Iris has processed. When things are running smoothly, it should be very close to what was set in the camera's web configurator. When things are struggling, it may be lower. Second number is the...

    Frame Bottleneck

    It is unclear to me why that is happening. Is the video playing (slowly) in Blue Iris or is it stuck/frozen? Try putting 15 in the axis's "Frame rate (fps)" field. Blue Iris has a "Max. rate" field which you should ignore because that is for things like USB webcams where Blue Iris actually...

    Frame Bottleneck

    Sure in the case of actual multi-sensor cameras, it is fine to use {CAMNO}. I still prefer to swap out that text macro for the raw number so that the RTSP URL is shorter, but that is just my preference.

    Frame Bottleneck

    Oh also it is recommended to turn off Blue Iris's custom timestamp overlay and have the camera provide that so that a timestamp exists in the raw recordings. I see you have overlays disabled in your camera's encoding settings. configuration.

    Frame Bottleneck

    Also your RTSP URL is effectively /axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&camera=2 due to the {CAMNO} and . I'd take out the {CAMNO} part for readability's sake and just replace it with the proper number. That Cam# field and {CAMNO} string are meant to be used for NVRs and multi-sensor cams...

    Frame Bottleneck

    It was all spelled out in the first post. The switches are not cheap noname. They are the "we hear you have a lot of money, let us help you spend it" kind from HP enterprise. Blue Iris is indicating it is only decoding half a frame per second from both streams. What I'd do is set the actual...

    Frame Bottleneck

    Interestingly, Blue Iris's help file doesn't have the word "bottleneck" in it anywhere! If you mouse over the "Frame bottleneck" text or the icon to its right, do you get a tooltip? You did not post a Blue Iris Status window screenshot, so there's a lot of useful information missing. For...

    Hangs during scrubbing

    When you say it hangs, what exactly does that mean? Like on some of my less stable BI systems I've had Blue Iris crash while trying to scrub through videos, and the service restarts automatically in the background, in the meantime the UI is basically unresponsive so that could be perceived as a...
