    Building a BI system that will need to support 12 4MP Dahua's. 9900K vs. 13600K vs. 5900x

    You ask questions that are answered already in the Blue Iris hardware Wiki. Though it's getting a tad older now, it still holds water. Best take a look at it to ensure you have an idea of what to get/what is not needed. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/wiki/choosing-hardware-for-blue-iris/

    BI vs NVR

    Having never owned a NVR... suppose you buy a 8 channel NVR. Can you add an additional POE switch later on to upgrade to 16 channels? Or are you hardware limited to the initial 8 channels? The reason I ask is because I went the Blue Iris route. I started with 4 IP cameras. I am now in the...

    Using VPN and local LAN netowork IP versus out and about WAN/LAN IP

    I thought the built-in Teleport VPN was only available on the UDM series routers?

    What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?

    As for the physical space of a server build look at my server build with a 2u rack mount server case that can hold four 3.5 inch hard drives which should be more than enough for 50 plus cameras. I may be doing the same type of setup if this one customer of mine chooses to go with me.

    Using VPN and local LAN netowork IP versus out and about WAN/LAN IP

    So it is specific to teleport vpn. Good to know. While the teleport VPN is very easy to set up I know I am going through either teleport cloud or ubiquiti cloud, which I'm not exactly thrilled with. One day, I could see building my own wireguard VPN server via home assistant or such and skip the...

    Using VPN and local LAN netowork IP versus out and about WAN/LAN IP

    so I should upgrade to ipv11 on Google Play? just kidding that previous posting is what I read before. I was just confused if it was VPN in general or specific to Teleport VPN that I have VPN set for 192.168.4.xxx but actually lands on 192.168.1.xxx . I thought having VPN on it's own subnet...

    Direct Burial Cat5e cable

    good 'ol stucco. Some stucco is 1/8" thick (like my house) or over 1/2" thick. Underside of the stucco will be wood panels of OSB or some special stucco wood....but it's wood either way. I just push a wood screw hard til it penetrates the stucco on into the wood :) I still prefer smallest...

    Using VPN and local LAN netowork IP versus out and about WAN/LAN IP

    I use the Ubiquiti UDM router for it's enhanced network options. I also use the onboard Teleport VPN (I believe built upon the newer Wireguard VPN service) that is built into the Ubiquiti UDM which I set up as 192.168.4.xxx network. When I am in my local LAN at home, I do not use the VPN. My...

    Direct Burial Cat5e cable

    oh..didn't even notice it was CCA ghetto cable. That is like putting a Porche 911 body on a Ford Pinto frame & engine. Fakery!

    Direct Burial Cat5e cable

    1.) yes, it's ok to put this cable you linked outside as it's LLDPE cable (waterproof and UV resistant from sun) 2.) yes, it's ok to put in the ground for a short distance. Usually, anything in the ground SHOULD be shielded and/or grounded cable but eh....14' buried should be ok. Be aware of...

    Blue Iris in a business environment. Who has used it or installed it?

    While I agree that UI3 is a game changer to anything that is out there, I could see a business customer wanting audible easy to click alerts on their smartphone which would mean the use of BI mobile app. Unless....someone named bp2008 is working on a mobile UI3 :) And if you are about to tell me...

    Blue Iris in a business environment. Who has used it or installed it?

    Ever since jumping into the Blue Iris party boat back in 2019, I have only dabbled with Blue Iris in my own personal residential setting. I have learned much of what Blue Iris can offer and can do...I would guess 25% if that. So many options and configurations that do not apply to me, I've had...

    Bi questions

    I actually ran Blue Iris on a i7-4770 SFF that was not the full blown 4770 (was it..i ? r? the lower wattage CPU made for SFF mother boards). It was a bare bones system with 8gigs of who knows what speed/manufacturer RAM. My CPU hovered around 40% with 12-16 cameras. That was before all the...

    What is the proper way to shutdown BI

    Interesting. I have never manually shut down the service to shutdown the entire machine. I shutdown or restart via Windows. I assume, Windows shuts down services automatically.

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

    makes me wonder why they never attempted a dual 5442. Dahua chasing after pixels, perhaps? I only have 2 of the 4k cameras in my woodworking shop, not outside for night duty. It is my understanding that 4k cameras have that day <> night tradeoff.
