    QuickSync vs Nvidia NVDEC

    I see in the wiki and several other spots that Intel QuickSync is the best hardware decoder to reduce CPU usage on larger setups. I'm running BI on an i7-6900K which doesn't support QuickSync however I have a GTX 1070 video card on the machine so I was wondering if there were any benefits to...

    Blue Iris and an Amcrest DVR at the same time

    I have 16 POE IP cameras going into my NVR (Different brand) and all those cameras get an IP from the NVR that is not on the same subnet as my network so I can not access the cameras "directly" however I am able to connect BlueIris to all my cameras by connecting to the output stream from the...

    NEW SETUP GUIDANCE

    I currently have a 16 4mp IP POE camera system running through an NVR from Enssecurity.com (Model # ED9632H5NV-16P), two of them are 20x PTZ cameras. Everything works great except I have about 50 palm trees that extensively cover the property and cause extreme shading issues and false alerts...

    Setting Up PTZ Commands

    Hey Guys, I have a 16 camera system running through an NVR from Enssecurity.com (Model # ED9632H5NV-16P) and I have everything working with BlueIris for the past year or so just fine but can never figure out how to get the PTZ commands to work so that I can control my two PTZ devices through...

    BI4 & Pushsafer working, but without screenshot (plus couple questions)

    Im a bit confused on why you need the PushSafer app because BI sends push alerts directly to your device and does it instantly. Delay time is under half a second for me.

    UI3 Wont Load in Chrome

    Hey guys for the past 6+ months I'm unable to view my UI3 through Chrome but works just fine on Safari or Firefox. Tested this on 3 different computers, all do the exact same thing. Is there something in Chrome causing this? It just sits there trying to load the page for 30+ min, never gives...

    Live Preview Suddenly Freezing

    Well shoot me in the foot. After spending hours playing around with settings, researching drivers...etc I failed to notice the red pause icon in the top right of the screen that says "Pause Live" and as soon as I clicked that, everything worked great again, no freezing lol. Maybe this is a...

    Live Preview Suddenly Freezing

    Hey guys, avid Blue Iris user here for the past 2 years or so. Currently running the latest update (5.0.5.8 x64) and suddenly I notice that the live view for all cameras (I have 17 IP cameras) is suddenly freezing after about 1 second. If i go to a specific camera, the picture updates then it...

    5.0.3 - New Edge Vector Motion Algorithm

    I live in a home surrounded by 50 palm trees constantly blowing in the wind making motion detection extremely difficult to be accurate, luckily Sentry has done an amazing job at suppressing 90% of false alerts however this new Edge Vector seems to be doing an amazing job too now.

    Auto delete clips stored in BI that failed Sentry detection.

    I know this has been mentioned a few times already but wanted to push the notion a bit harder. Ability to auto-delete saved alert clips after XX minutes if Sentry determines its a false alert and to surprise it. In my case, Sentry blocks 95% of my motion alerts (400+ Daily) since their trees...

    On-premise version

    I have 16 cameras going through BlueIris & Sentry and have been using Sentry extensively since it was released (2 months ago?). 1) Detection of humans is probably close to 98% accurate. I've had my large German shepherd detected as a human maybe 10 times out of the 1,000+ alerts he created. 2)...

    What is your experience with Sentry?

    When I get SMS alerts I get almost a paragraph of extra info in each msg such as "We processed xxx images yesterday....". While the info is good, getting it 100 times daily is redundant, anyway to suppress this?

    What is your experience with Sentry?

    Sentry support is awesome! I submitted a ticket with some false negatives and support gave me a lengthy reply with an analysis of each alert I mentioned, not only that but they found a bug with the BlueIris integration they are working on fixing and extended my trial by another month just as a...

    Sentry Smart Alerts is too expensive for me

    Honestly, I would have no problem paying $299/yr for 10 cameras or even more if Sentry really dialed in their product which I am sure they are doing right now. I get a little frustrated when Sentry is not working as expected or flags dogs as humans or fails to miss obvious human movement or...

    Pre-Trigger Buffer with Sentry

    I have set Blue Iris to 15fps per the "Optimizing CPU" page since I have 16 cameras... is there another setting for "i frame" intervals?

    Pre-Trigger Buffer with Sentry

    Small observation I've noticed is that if you have your pre-trigger buffer set high (I had mine at 5 seconds) that when it sends the alert to Sentry for processing it seems to send some of the first frames in the alert which could very likely be nothing if the subject is out of frame during the...

    No alert notifications in IOS - "Test message sent to 0 devices"

    Basically its a software issue with BlueIris that will be fixed in a future update. The workaround for now is to enable sms alerts.

    Revisiting Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage

    Hey Guys, been an avid Blue Iris user for about 7 months now and for the most part everything has been smooth after the initial setup and learning curve. I have a pretty beefy gaming PC where I run BlueIris on and over the past 7 months noticed CPU usage and Memory usage "seemed" to be slowly...

    Motion Trigger Adjustment

    Hey Guys, I have 16 cameras on BlueIris running the latest edition. My property is surrounded by 50 palm trees making it an absolute nightmare on windy days. I setup zone crossing, increased my delays and lowered my sensitivity but I'm still getting flooded with false alerts because my palm...

    Crossing Zones Add Delay

    You have it set so BI isn't monitoring parts of your view so from A to C you have it set so BI stops tracking them so when they enter C its like a new person versus a zone crossing. Setup a zone D and cover the entire screen, dont add zone D to your list of zone crossings. Make sure you watch...

    Motion alerts do not seem to work

    2 second make time is pretty high. Try turning on the use zones and check those settings. Also watch the YouTube videos on motion detection & zones to learn how to use BI a bit more.

    Tips For Motion Detection

    Interesting, gonna have to read into this a bit more. For tonight I simply setup objection detection with 150 pixels (Using 4mp cameras) and setup zone crossing to see how they play in the morning with the IR lights like to cycle on and off 20 times during dawn lol.
