    Home alarm output to BlueIris

    Blue Iris does support single byte I/O devices such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Blue Iris also supports the use of SeaLevel and MQTT (neither of which I am familiar with) I have been planning on tinkering with this very same idea. I have been toying with the idea of a home security system...

    Blue Iris Auto Start Task Scheduler XML file

    It's just a practice of mine to reboot computer and devices (like my phone) every day or two. I feel it gives the device a 'refresh' and help to eliminate any potential memory leak problems.

    Blue Iris Auto Start Task Scheduler XML file

    OMG You read my mind on this! I actually was going to post something on this subject a couple days ago! I was looking for a way to automatically load the blue iris GUI in the event of a restart. All my machines reboot every 2 days (using task scheduler and the "Shutdown" command with the "-r"...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Ehh... not a slot for a 3rd drive but you could "make it work" with a small SSD.

    IP Camera with smart function ?

    Ok so for the AutoTracking function: I have a Dahua PTZ camera (I bought from Andy) that is capable of AutoTracking, Tripwire, ect... functions. These settings are setup on the individual camera side settings and not in blue iris. Blue Iris only records the camera feed and has limited control...

    IP Camera with smart function ?

    So two things: 1. POE+ switches are not any more expensive then regular POE switches. Most POE+ 4 port switches can be bought on Amazon for around $50 and 8 port for $70 2. I don't know of any NVR that is capable of doing what you are asking. Sorry if I might not be understanding but I am...

    Unable to update?

    If that was the case then the "Check for update" button would still be enabled and "Auto update" disabled.... unless you are right and he will allow manual updates to still work... :secret:

    Unable to update?

    I don't think that is what it means... When you click upgrade/renew it takes you to a screen to enter a new product key or to UPGRADE to Extended/Priority service. I think what this means is before you try and "manually update" Blue Iris you need to upgrade with extended or priority first or...

    Unable to update?

    So question: Is there any "sneak peak" at what V5 may be like? I'm just thinking about all my videos i've made on V4 may now be irrelevant when V5 comes out :smash:

    rotate camera

    The cameras field of view and resolution are restricting how the camera is viewed when you turn it 90 degrees. You have to mount 180 or deal with the odd look. No way to fix it

    Test run video through motion detector and profiles

    This is correct. That function is to test your CURRENT activated profile and its CURRENT settings. You can change the motion setting and experiment what would cause a trigger on the same clip.

    Geofencing on Android not reliable unless opening the App

    I have experimented off and on with geofencing on my android phones now for 3 year. I have this exact problem. iOS devices seem to work fine and update the location when needed.

    Typical lifespan of components and cameras?

    When I first started almost 3 years ago I bought 3 cheap amazon "Hosafe" brand poe cameras. They all lasted exactly a little over a year before they took a crap. Since then I have used Dahua cameras and I have some going 3 years strong. Out of about 50 dahua cameras in different locations I...

    4.8.3 - November 1, 2018

    For everyone trying to get this to work it ONLY is working with port forwarding from my testing. If you are using stunnel or a VPN you will only get a blank image when the 10 image GIF option is selected.
