    How many of you live in a "safe" place?

    Initially peace of mind, when I am away. (eg: check for packages on the door step, check-in on the chickens) + deterrent, then a hobby just looking for events, possum, cats, owls. My area is considered "safe", but not uncommon to get people (older teens, from out of area drive in with stolen...

    Zero Tier remote access to Blue Iris

    While I agree VPN is better than this. For newbies, running VPN Server on a consumer router is rarely secure unless kept up-to-date, and MOST (not-all) don't keep the VPN Server up-to-date. Most users are pretty bad at updating their clients also. Pretty hard to say 1 remote access method is...

    Zero Tier remote access to Blue Iris

    If your not paying you are the product, wouldn't trust ZT at all.

    Any ideas what causes this sort of ghosting/pixelisation?

    Looks network related, disconnect the other two cameras to test. What speed is the WiFi bridge connecting at?

    FPS Changes in Blue Iris

    What from I have seen BlueIris ups this value to the highest frame rate it receives from the camera, so at some point your camera peaked to 16fps. Really doesn't effect anything other than the amount of RAM BI allocates. So nothing to worry about unless you see crazy high values, then you can...

    Scrambled green video in UI3 on latest 5.5.9.6 stable update

    Chrome borders on "Malware", yes Edge was crap but the current Edge based on the Chromium engine beats Chrome hands down in both performance and security.

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Yes, but you need to realise the quality of WiFi cams is very poor, would not recommend ANY. If you have a good reliable WiFi Network, ie: (Mesh WiFi6) then you can add a POE switch to an access point and drive traditional cameras. This is ideal for testing, or short lived setups like trade...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Really good write-up. For someone using this, how does it compare with the built in iOS "10-second GIF" animated alerts?, which can also by-pass do-not disturb. Parking the URL's, I suppose this setup would not require port-forwarding to view the Alerts\Videos.

    IPC-T5442T bricked? Any way out?

    While I would generally agree, the updated firmware resolves some IR issues that existed in the original firmware.

    Stop BI overlays from being saved to BVR files.

    As others have said, you can't, just turn them off for playback.

    Dahua IP CAMERA Ping Time Can't be less than 5ms !

    People without networking backgrounds often mis-understand ping\icmp protocol. It's designed to be a best efforts protocol to use for connectivity testing, always use caution when interpreting results. Quite common to see newer security baselines do strange things, like increased response times...

    Help with settings for Hikvision camera and Blue Iris

    There is no right, just what works for you. Depends a lot on the role and purpose of the camera. Biggest tip, is use Image Parameters Switch so you have a faster shutter speed during the day. With Hikvision, selecting a shutter is not fixed, it's a range. For sub-stream, I use the 3rd stream...

    IPC-HDW5831R-ZE vs DS-2CD2165G0-I(S) ? what better?

    5442 is a great cam, although like all my Dahua cams they struggle with VBR and a busy scene. I recently moved them to H.265 (10,240), I was running H.264H at a crazy 20480. Yes that is insane, but I have the storage and if I dropped it lower can see some blur on those windy days. Also find...

    Self Defense Batons

    Isn't the risk of an attack from a Coyote extremely low\rare, like 1 per year? If public records can be trusted doesn't California experience a mass shooting every 8 days? (and that is well below the us average, believe you rate 44th), but yeah let's worry about some native animal.

    BI SSD Average Life

    Older SSD’s are generally brilliant as manufacturers didn’t know how long they would last and due to consumer fear they were drastically over provisioned. These days due to far more usage data, and cost pressures manufacturers have backed right off.

    what is making my hard drive take so long deleting videos?

    Sorry have to stop you right there, I wish to clarify elements. High fps does not relate to sharpness. In cheap dashcams where you can't control shutter speed, some people attempt to force a faster shutter speed by increasing frame rate to 60fps. But technically there is no correlation between...

    what is making my hard drive take so long deleting videos?

    Thank-you, updated my cams to use "&CAM\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S" Originally I did have unique sub-folders for them all, but when I moved to all cameras inheriting their record and alert config from a master this broke. Thanks to your post I now have both!!

    easy way to use VPN automatically on iOS?

    Agree, looks like Shortcuts would be the way to go. VPN Clients like Passerpartout are good as you can spectify which VPN connection to start, but I had a play with multiple VPN clients and providing they were set to automatically connect upon startup, they worked. Waited a few seconds, then...

    easy way to use VPN automatically on iOS?

    iOS has the (on-demand) option built-in, it's not what OP wants, he wants VPN to connect\start when they use the BlueIris App. On iOS I only know how do do that via MDM, but hopefully someone does.

    easy way to use VPN automatically on iOS?

    Doesn't do what the OP is seeking, that tool has basically the same identical options to going settings -> VPN & Device Management -> VPN -> Add VPN Configuration But agree it's a great tool\alternative when you need to deploy the same VPN profile to multiple devices.

    easy way to use VPN automatically on iOS?

    Not what OP means, he wants VPN to activate when the launches BlueIris only, not automatically when he leaves home, on-cellular ect.... WireGuard only has the per app activation on Android NOT iOS. Only way I know is via Developer Options or Modern Device Management where you can enforce a VPN...

    The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection

    Excellent write-up, spot on about optical over megapixels. While there are exceptions, I have found the Tiny IR LEDs in cameras to be effective at short distances only. So if you require Optical Zoon, you will likely an additional targeted IR spotlight (preferably at an offset). (Colour cams...

    Playback/Web/Mobile always stuttering, but export is fine

    I think others have missed the point that your exports are fine, so that means your camera settings or BlueIris camera recording settings are not to blame. Here are some pointers that effect playback but not recording; BlueIris try toggling the "also BVR" (Quick Sync can be a bit funny in how...

    IPC-HDW5831R-ZE vs DS-2CD2165G0-I(S) ? what better?

    Your heading in the wrong direction chasing megapixels. Read the cliff-notes. Double the resolution requires double the sensor size. A low-light affordable favorite here is the 2231 and it's 2MP. The Dahua 5442 (4mp) is still probably the best low light camera around. I pair them with...

    IPC-HDW5831R-ZE vs DS-2CD2165G0-I(S) ? what better?

    I try and avoid making camera recommendations without knowing the target area light levels. The Hikvision has much better low-light performance but requires a well lit area, or you subjects will blur. But it is a dome so you need to be aware of the downsides. The Dahua quoted is from the...

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    Again if you don't want to use docker, you just download and install. There is no need for registry files, manual config files if like Deepstack you just want to use the default general profiles. From a future perspective, encourage everyone to consider docker, no clean-ups, worrying about...

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    Again, people only do that because they want to tinker and optimise the heck out of it with custom models. I've got a test systems on old hardware they work fine using out of the box settings. If you just install it, it just works. Pointed out earlier if you use docker that a single command is...

    5.6.0 - August 16, 2022

    Update: 5.6.0.5 Resolved the missing clips\flags by "repairing\regenerating" the database. For myself the 5.6.0.5 update alone did not fix the issue.
