    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    It just occured to me that the top bar area would not work when the user has selected the fullscreen option, so maybe there is a way that when fullscreen is selected, that the control bar shows up and disappears like the VLC controls do when you play a movie. So when you hover over the bottom...

    All my cameras are Hikvision 3MP. The best there is for the price, IMHO. Most are the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I 4mm version.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I really like the new control bar and the option to place it at the top or bottom of the screen. However in either case it overlays the video. For those of us with larger widescreen monitors and a long thin band of unused space at the top of the UI2 interface, is there any chance of having an...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Is there a simple way to add an option to make the red border around the currently recording camera image more bold or larger, or maybe the option to change the color (like to yellow)? For some reason I have a difficult time seeing the red and just thought if the border line was wider or...

    The clip controls do not show when in Live View mode, so you have to have a clip selected. My CPU fluctuates about 5% just from one reboot to the next but no dramatic CPU changes that I've seen with bp2008's excellent updated UI2 interface! Clip controls:

    effects of using multiple apps to record from the same camera(s) at the same time?

    Re: effects of using multiple apps to record from the same camera(s) at the same time OK, cool, that explains it very clearly. So I have one related question. Does your UI2 and/or the Blue Iris web viewer actually get one of the copies of the stream too (so it would be 4 copies of the...

    effects of using multiple apps to record from the same camera(s) at the same time?

    Re: effects of using multiple apps to record from the same camera(s) at the same time OK, so I guess that means that each application that attaches to a camera is given a separate stream. I wasn't sure if the camera just send out one stream and multiple applications can somehow view (or attach...

    effects of using multiple apps to record from the same camera(s) at the same time?

    I'm trying to understand how the stream from an IP camera (ie Hikvision) is used or overused if more than one software application tries to access the stream for recording. Hypothetically, let's say I have Blue Iris running on a dedicated PC and then I set up another identical PC with Blue Iris...

    how do I record a fixed amount of time everyday?

    I have two cameras that I want to start recording at a certain time, but with one camera I only want it to record for 1 hour and the other camera I want to record for 10 minutes, each at a set time. My understanding from what I have learned here is that the only way to control the total length...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I'm not sure what qualifies for many many files but I currently have 29,000 clips in the NEW folder and it still seems to be running fine, but I don't mind moving it back to C as long as the DB can be re-created. I was about to ask how to do that but a little searching through the Blue Iris...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I do have a pagefile on the C drive, but just wasn't sure if I should also allow Windows to create a pagefile on the D drive where I've got the clips stored. Currently I have the DB on the D drive too and it hasn't seemed to make any difference as far as the clips loading so is there another...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows the if a Windows page file is needed if I store the Blue Iris BVR clips and DB on a second drive? My current setup is an SSD as my C drive with Blue Iris runninging on it and a system managed page file for that drive. But since I moved my BVR clips and DB storage...

    Direct URL link to saved video clips?

    I currently save in the BVR format as well and had the same problems you did with playback when I tried switching to MP4. I had forgoten about the permission and log-in requirments. Currently I don't have anonymous access setup, so that would be another issue for me. My other option is just to...

    Direct URL link to saved video clips?

    Is there a way to post or email someone a direct URL link to a saved video clip either through bp2008's great UI2 interface or through the Blue Iris web interface so that it plays when the link is clicked?

    how do I record a fixed amount of time everyday?

    OK, I changed the "limit manual recording time" and I understand now why it was only recording for 3 minutes. Here are my recording settings for the weather cam #1:

    how do I record a fixed amount of time everyday?

    I read through the thread and also re-read the help section that covers schedules but there are still some things that I clearly do not understand. I did get it to start recording at a set time, but what happens now is that I get two, 3 minute segments recorded around sunset time. What I want...

    +1 I agree that this would be especially helpful for those of us using this on a tablet or phone. It is very difficult to grab the edge using an Android device. With a mouse, it's a piece of cake. So a button would be great! Thanks!

    how do I record a fixed amount of time everyday?

    I'm new to Blue Iris and I've been trying to learn how to use it with the help of the members in this forum. I have a weather camera that I want to set so that it captures the sunset each night. Ideally, I would have some way of setting up a schedule that would "know" the daily changing sunset...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Thanks for the help. I changed the short name and that fixed it! As for the bleeding, the right camera is a dome, the left a bullet. I think the dome cameras get more IR bleed and I also think some of the IR light is reflecting back off the edge of my eave. The problem was worse when I...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I'm having a strange issue when I switch from my "all cameras" layout to the "driveway" layout. When I click on the right camera image, both images show back up again only this time they are way out of proportion. When I click on the other camera image, just that camera shows up full screen...

    I like the recent addition of camera IR toggle on off function - Thanks Blue Iris

    I discovered a related thing but I'm not sure if it is a feature or a bug. If you turn on PTZ in the camera properties, for a camera that is NOT a PTZ camera, you now have the ability to remotely toggle the IR with the same UI button, at least if worked for my Hikvision bullet cameras and domes...

    Hi bp2008... Thanks again for all your hard work. Would you please make one more (I think) simple addition? Could you please add version numbers to your changes and include a README text file in the zip to indicate to the user which version is being downloaded? Maybe also include the...

    Greetings from Austin, Texas

    Hello all... I recently purchased some Hikvision 3MP IP cams for both security and some weather cams and I'm using Blue Iris to control most everything. I just wanted to say hello and thank you in advance for the questions I'll probably have trying to learn how to use Blue Iris. I am a bit...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I just realized that the direct to disk and BVR formats are not mutually exclusive. I was thinking they were. So do you use the Blue Iris DVR file format with your direct to disk settings, or do you use the MPEG-4 file format with Direct to Disk?

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    Oh, good idea about setting up an esata drive. I think I may try that. In your first reply you also mentioned the "direct to disk" feature. I'm currently not using that and am using the default of the BVR ...maybe that is why my CPU is higher than it should be? I read a little about that...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I thought about that but unfortunately the system is a small form factor (SFF) and only holds one 3.5" HD. It will hold two 2.5" laptop drives so I have thought about replacing the one hard drive with two smaller drives. I've also considered SSD drives but my understanding is that they do not...

    moving clip storage to second partition, and DB?

    I currently have Blue Iris v4.0.4.3 x64 and I have all the video clips and the database saved to the C drive (default settings). I would like to partition the single hard drive in the computer and then move the clip storage to the second partition. The reason that I want to do this is that I...

    Thanks bp2008... It worked well and it was good that the control for that change is by the group because I have other computers that I use to monitor Blue Iris and those computers have the usual landscape screen orientation which means I don't have to change the view for those computers (as...
