    Acceptable CPU Usage?

    You need to open up Task Manager and see individual CPU processes. See what BI is actually using for CPU, you also will have tons of background processes. This is why it’s best to have a dedicated blue Iris machine for security cameras only. So you can disable a bunch of crap in the...

    Any way to remote access without port forwarding in router?

    I use logmein hamachi on one of my networks, It works surprisingly well it has some interesting security measures as in second factor auth, you can get emails when someone logs in your network, and see the ip adderss that are logged in, stuff like that. However I still like OpenVPN better you...

    NVR, Raspberry Pi, PiVPN

    With pivpn you still need to fordward a port in your router. I don’t know if I would do that ;)

    Windows 10 Clean Install - Delete Partitions?

    One quick note I’m sure you already know this but once you get everything how you want it on your pc make sure to make a back up. I do 3 different clones one local, one offsite, and ,one to my usb drive. Also make sure you backup your blue Iris settings once you have that setup if you use BI...

    BlueIris on your TV!

    If you have a android phone and are installing a APK file just use a app called apps2fire , this will only work for firetv and android but it’s easier then the method posted above.

    Old Man but a New Guy here.

    Quick question and I’m not trying to hijack this post,and this is strictly out of curiosity,but if you have all your cameras on a separate VLAN would it be safe to port forward ?

    Thoughts on this 4 camera system

    I wouldn’t buy it, remember you get what you pay for all that for under 300 is to good to be true. Just get a dahua and buy more then you can afford it.

    Need some advice

    2.8 mm are you kidding me ? 2.8mm should never be used for facial ID. 2.8mm is used for a overview camera. 6mm sounds about right in that door way. But there’s a webpage calculator somewhere on this forum to tell you exactly what you need. Just get the starlight that’s recommend here and...

    Thieves set off car alarm

    Suggestions on ethernet cable

    I don’t get it, people always ask this question over and over you have 2 options for cable, monoprice or cables matter. cat 5 or cat 6 for security cameras, it really makes no difference. But if you want the better cable for the hell of it, get cat 6. Plain and simple!!!

    IP Camera Recommendation

    To me a SD storage would be a total waste, most cameras keep the SD card in the camera it self which a thief would have easy access to. Not saying someone would know to take the SD card out but why risk it when there is much better options? I would get BI and a pc this is a much better option...

    Cheap Chinese IP Cameras

    Never ever forward ports,that’s a bad idea, specially with cameras. Just read the info about VPN. There’s no reason not you run VPN besides,laziness.

    hikvision ip cam best cam settings

    A still image means nothing, I can buy a 30.00 dollar camera and get a good still image without motion, but once someone is actually in the photo moving their is blur because of the low exposure time is, not to mention the high gain, which makes even more noise in the photo. My opinion is there...

    hikvision ip cam best cam settings

    Holy crap you put the gain 90 to 100 at night that has to have tons of noise . Exposure time seems low too, just my opinion I’m guessing you like the settings you have.
