    Cool. Will try changing to SSD. I notice latency when viewing alerts on iPhone in the app. Could be due to slower secondary drive? Also, wanted to ask, what size SSD are you using? what did you set it for how much SSD space to allocate before moving the files out of there to a bigger drive?

    Blue Iris Video Tutorials

    Great video!!...Question: I had put my database as well as NEW folder both going to a secondary drive because I was worried about my SSD filling up...If I move them to the C: ssd now, will it completely mess up and destroy my existing database and stored alerts and videos??

    Web: error : no stream message BI some cams

    Thanks. The cameras getting this error are on POE Ethernet. One is a dahua ptz and one starlight dahua. Any way to figure out what may be causing the interruption? You think it’s network related?

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    so if I leave that "Use secure session keys and login page" unchecked, is the server totally open to WAN?...this certainly doesnt seem worth it?!

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    Yes, I just tested this and it works if i uncheck "Use secure session keys and login page" as you suggested...but is my server NOT secure then? Also, how do I get the PTZ to return to the previous preset once the triggered event ends? Do I need to fill in the "Request again when trigger is...

    Optiplex vs Thinkcentre vs EliteDesk?

    Yes, it does have Quick Sync...how does this Xeon server compare to that Optiplex? If getting the system with an i7 won’t gain be much over this Xeon, then I will go for this ...thoughts?

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    Using the internal LAN ip and port of the bi server.. like I said, I know it’s doing something because when I copy and paste the line of commands into web browser, the PTZ camera does move to the specified preset ... For whatever stupid reason, actually triggering the second camera in blue Iris...

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    still not working for me....it almost feels like it's not logging into the server properly when executing this line ?! this is so frustrating...is it a firewall thing?!...must be some tiny setting somewhere.. I know that syntax also seems to work jaycanter because I pasted it in a browser and...

    ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

    ya...I don't really like exposing it to the elements...also, someone can just unplug and steal it...kind of lame solution...was gonna do wifi....that's why a doorbell cam that's Blueiris compatible would solve this...another issue I have is we currently have these older Aicom intercoms that are...

    ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

    how would this be outside my front door in a covered porch area, to be used wifi to capture faces of people at the door?...My Dahua cams are great for people as they approach the door, but don't have good visibility once they're there.....ideal solution would be a BlueIris compatible doorbell...

    Optiplex vs Thinkcentre vs EliteDesk?

    what do you guys think about this for a BlueIris rig?: Dell PowerEdge T30 Mini Server: Intel Xeon E3-1225, 1TB HDD wondering how the CPU will do with 10x 1080p cams?...will it do the job or should I look for i7 to be more future-proof? ...looks like it has the Intel HD graphics which sounds...

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    OK, I feel like I'm close, but this is really weird...clicking TEST returns the "received 7878 bytes" message, and triggering the camera whose motion I want to trigger the PTZ either in BlueIris OR physically walking in front of it DOES NOTHING. But, if I copy the line of code and paste into a...

    Control PTZ Presets with another Cameras Trigger

    Hi! yes to both questions...also, the IP entered for the actual command is the internal LAN Blueiris server IP right?...I've got that entered Here's what I've got entered: 10.0.1.xx:xxxx/ admin?camera=ptzee&preset=3&username=xxxxx&password=xxxxxxx when I click test it says "received 7878 bytes"

    Hmm. Getting the same message. Absolutely can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m pretty positive I’ve subbed all the right stuff into that line of commands.

    You're saying it's better to set this stuff up directly in the camera GUI instead of Blueiris?? I have the non-tracking version of PTZ you mentioned (i think 49225) and a few of the starlight turrets whose motion detection that I want the PTZ to respond to

    Wifi Doorbell

    I’m looking for a doorbell cam that I can get the video and audio to Blueiris. As well, I currently have an Aiphone intercom in my house which I’d lose if I put in a Ring doorbell or something. Any suggestions on how to keep the Aiphone AND get a doorbell cam that integrates with Blueiris??

    Blue Iris Video Tutorials

    Hi Dasstrum! I was wondering if you might be able to make a video about how to trigger a PTZ camera based on motion detected by another camera, and then once the trigger event ends, return the PTZ to its initial preset starting point?....That would be awesome! -Thanks!
