    Heh, getting the GET and SET operations mixed up. Good one.

    5.9.6 - August 23, 2024 - Client encoding sharing

    If you are comparing with Task Manager's "Details" tab, that tab is often quite a bit lower than other CPU usage measurements. BI seems to be pretty close to what I get in the "Processes" tab. Still a little bit low though. BI reports 10% while Processes reports 11.3 - 11.6%. One would think...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I wasn't aware that thumbnail updates are a thing, but I guess it makes sense that AI processing could result in thumbnail changes. Clicking on the "Clips" tab should refresh just the clip list, although I am not completely certain it won't just load all the thumbnails from the browser cache.

    Still using BI3. Can I import configs to BI5

    I would recommend configuring from scratch. So much has changed from then to now that you'd have to look through all the settings anyway to make sure nothing you care about got broken or lost. I think it would be better to start with the current Blue Iris 5 default values and go from there...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    The sync pending thing is probably OneDrive or a similar cloud storage app. Unrelated to this. Did you install and start the service? Those are the top 2 buttons in the user interface.

    UI3 HTML5 startup message

    This means the browser is preventing UI3 from playing a video automatically (autoplay prevention). It could be the browser natively doing this, or it could be an extension that is installed.

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    The FCD600 I bought directly from Annke is model I51DX according to its web interface, so yes I think the $77.98 listing at walmart is the same camera. I've also found these cams are available a bit cheaper on ebay than on annke's own website. Similar to the walmart price...

    If your router does not have OpenVPN server, Wireguard server, or IPSEC VPN server capabilities, then I'd recommend getting a raspberry pi and using PiVPN and Wireguard. PIVPN: Simplest way to setup a VPN

    EE home broadband

    I'm sorry to say, you probably have a difficult learning curve ahead of you. I'm guessing whatever remote access method you were using before requires IPv4 port forwarding. If you don't know anything about that, then it most likely was done automatically via a router feature called "UPnP"...

    Blue Iris Freezing during heavy rain

    Certainly, I believe it is pretty obvious that a large number of concurrent camera triggers are contributing to this crash. The integration with the AI tool may or may not be related; I wouldn't say that has been ruled out (or in) specifically based on available evidence. But in the end, Blue...

    Blue Iris Freezing during heavy rain

    Those crashes are either due to a hardware problem or (more likely) a software problem in Blue Iris. Unfortunately, Blue Iris is not written in a language that is good at producing useful error messages, so about all you can do is report this to the BI developer. If you look in Blue Iris's...

    !! C/D: -XX GB Hard Drive problem

    You should look at the Blue Iris Status window > Storage tab to see more information about the disk usage. This stuff is all configured in Blue Iris Settings > Storage tab. You may have allocated too much space and need to subtract about 100 GB from the allocation. It is also possible that the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I am aware actually. Quite some time ago, Blue Iris changed the behavior, didn't bother telling me, and I didn't bother working around the break, kind of just intending to deal with it if I ever went back into that code to implement the function to delete items from the queue. I will see what...

    My BI stoped recording?!

    I wouldn't say it is backed into a corner. There are no major external integrations to coordinate with; Blue Iris is effectively the only producer and consumer of its database files and they don't need to be sent to other systems and work there, so he would not need to worry about backwards...

    My BI stoped recording?!

    As for your log file, the "FORCE quitting CGadSocket thread" messages are sometimes seen when a camera instance crashes and restarts. I'm not sure of the cause but it may be related to Intel hardware acceleration. If you have that enabled and it is causing your camera windows to restart often...

    My BI stoped recording?!

    The biggest thing you can do to help avoid the need for a database rebuild (besides replacing faulty hardware) is to not update Blue Iris as often. Make sure automatic updates are off and only update when you think you could tolerate some downtime in case the update causes problems. Many would...

    My BI stoped recording?!

    Yup, you've encountered one of Blue Iris's biggest flaws, its database. The biggest problem is it gets broken at the drop of a hat, frequently through no fault of yours or your computer's, but because of a programming error on their end, which happens alarmingly often (see this thread for a...

    Large DB (>250,000 records) notification in BI

    In that case I guess it would be necessary to just reduce the number of alerts happening. The help file says there is an option to immediately delete alerts that are canceled by AI. I just have no idea where that option is. Ah, here it is, found in Camera Properties > Alert tab > AI...

    Large DB (>250,000 records) notification in BI

    One way to keep the database size smaller is to tune your trigger conditions so it is less likely to trigger. Also, I haven't tried this to be sure it works, but you could: Record longer clips so there are fewer of them created. For your "Alerts" folder, limit the clip age to some number of...

    Camera suggestions for nature scenery view?

    Large DB (>250,000 records) notification in BI

    I am pretty sure the record count is just the number of clips plus the number of alerts (high res image or not). Blue Iris's database is not very resilient or very scalable (it barely qualifies as a "database" in this modern world in my opinion). Anyway, in a sort of acknowledgement of Blue...

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Smooth, yes. But it is a little slow to start panning. There are a few spots early in that video where it is shown. Setting PTZ speed higher actually makes this more noticeable because after the slow start it does get very fast.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Ah, well it wasn't nearly so bad on the $400 4mp 25x I had in this spot yesterday :) It started and stopped motion much quicker. It is easier to get along with using relative PTZ controls (a.k.a. 3d positioning), that is the thing where it lets you draw a rectangle around something and it...

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    I mean when you push a button to make the camera move, it takes a moment before it starts moving, and then it is slow when it starts before the speed ramps up. This, combined with video delay that is inherent to all IP cameras, makes it extra difficult to get it pointed the way you want. It...

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    I got very lucky and won one of these in @EMPIRETECANDY 's Summer 2024 lottery (super prize!) and put it up yesterday. First thing I noticed is that PTZ control is way more sluggish than the budget 4MP model it was replacing. It starts really slowly before the speed rapidly ramps up and this...
