    Restricting specific user account access by profile.

    This is a "scheduled access" built into the user accounts using profiles however it is unfinished. The ONLY profile it distinguishes between (to block or allow access) is the "inactive" profile. It doesn't matter (at this time) what profile is drawn on calendar; the user still has access. I...

    IPCT Introducing IPCT DDNS! Free DDNS service!

    I guarantee that 99% of the users of Blue Iris use port forwarding. This will be a huge benefit for those that aren't so paranoid about being hacked every second of the day and require AES-256 encryption for browsing their favorite Martha Stewart recipes.

    Minimizing nuisance alerts caused by headlights?

    I've had good luck using the "Reset detector when object exceeds" option under object detection. Change this to something like 20% Then go out and see if you walking in front of the camera still triggers the cam. If you don't trigger increase the % little by little. If you still trigger and...

    Blue Iris Licensing issue

    Also, after deactivating your license, it might be a good idea to completely uninstall BI too. I know it gives a popup when you uninstall Blue Iris asking if you want to deregister any serial numbers used on that machine. It might be redundant and just there in case you forgot to deregister it...

    Is it possible to alert via web hook & mqtt?

    If your referring to using web hooks to send a trigger or alert to BI yes this can be done. Easiest way I've found is to send http command to BI from webhooks or whatever. I use a raspberry pi and some python code to send a http command to BI when a door is opened to trigger a camera and start...

    Best Cameras for under $150

    I have a few Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS in my warehouse I got from Andy. I am curious to do a comparison between the cheap IPC-HDW4433C-A and a IPC-HDW2231R-ZS. I KNOW the starlight will be better but to show maybe how much better. I do have a few starlights too installed on my house so I am not...

    blue iris main benefits over current model NVR?

    I personally have used i5-3470 in about 10 installs now and it works perfectly fine. Most builds are 4mp 1440p cams @ 15fps. 4 of those cameras @ 240MP/sec total run that processor at like 20%

    blue iris main benefits over current model NVR?

    Like anything, you get what you pay for and this is true with any camera or recorder. You will be happy with Blue Iris, but if your worried about cost and dont mind limited features, a cheap nvr might be all your need

    I'm with Fenderman on this one. Get an NVR. If your not willing to take the advise given then why ask the questions in the first place? You clearly were shown in 10 seconds of searching we both found computers more than capable of what you need that were nowhere close to 225-275CA. Then you...

    Has it been done? Yes, but be prepared to run at lower frame rate and resolution. It been discussed here before but you might be better off with 2 systems running 32 cameras each.
