    Blue Iris and CAD software, can it be done on one computer?

    I have 10 cameras total and an external 2 and 6TB drive. I was thinking 32 GB for ram also and a full tower. Currently have an older Lenovo Thinkcentre and need to upgrade all over. The expandable tower seems like they way to go after being stuck in that one. Does the SSD in the tower make a...

    Blue Iris and CAD software, can it be done on one computer?

    Im getting a new or renewed computer for Blue Iris and will be using the same computer for CAD on an occasional basis. Likely Solidworks or Inventor. Not heavy use, but the BI machine is in the area I do CAD work in sometimes. Looking at the BI recommended settings from 2017, does anyone have...

    Replace this Hikvision Bullet with??

    Current cam - DS-2CD2032-I. I attached a picture of the area this camera covers. It faces the Arizona sun everyday and its taken a toll on the exposed cameras. This one is going out often and must be something internal. I dont want to see in the backyards around me so a PTZ wouldnt be needed. I...

    Question about POE cameras not on the same network as the computer

    Question. I'm upgrading the Blue Iris software and at the same time installing some cameras at a second home. The cameras are Dahua IP cams. Is it possible to use the computer in one state and import the cameras from a home or location in another state? My thought is no, but if its possible I'd...

    Indoor PTZ for a 800 sq/ft shop?

    Looking for a PTZ to mount on the ceiling of my shop. While out of town I sometimes need to look at items in the shop or keep an eye on processes doing work. It’s a rectangular shop and a single location in the middle would seem to do what I need. I can use a simple WiFi camera or plug in to my...

    Clip storage issues I believe are coming from admin setup..?

    Heres some of the pics. I just noticed the setting in the record tab is still at 24hrs. What Im doing with the recording is simply saving for as long as I can.

    Clip storage issues I believe are coming from admin setup..?

    I have a 500gb internal drive and a 3tb external. I have all the clips setup properly from a previous discussion I started. I'm having issues with the clips moving to the 3tb drive and deleting on the internal 500gb. Of course this puts me in the red for storage. For a while Ive been deleting...

    Need help. Tried everything I know and still missing something small

    Interesting you mention that. I have 7 cameras and one of them had a different setting, although the boxes arent checked for the the cut and combine parameters. I assume it does this automatically? I was going to use the instruction in the second video to place files in Aux folders so I can keep...

    Need help. Tried everything I know and still missing something small

    Thank you, I switched the alerts back to the C: drive. Do I leave the Database location the same and change only the addresses in the Folder box? Should I cange the 'Database' location to C:\Blue Iris\New also? When I set the location for the Stored files do I need to change the Database path...

    Subdivide access to cameras...??

    I searched around but may not be calling this by the right name. I'll be renting my home and have an 8 camera system with Blue Iris. 2 of the cameras are on a detached shop in the back that face an alley away from any tenants. I am maintaining the shop and its not a part of the rental. I would...
