Blue Iris UI3
I haven't seen this happening. Looks like the audio player is crashing (the one used when you unmute camera audio in UI3). Does it happen reliably? Can you try in an incognito window (so all browser extensions are deactivated) and unmute the audio in UI3 and see if it occurs there too... -
Can 1 cat5e power two ip cams?
Here are some more options. "MokerLink" makes some astonishingly cheap outdoor PoE switches that take incoming data and PoE power from one cable and distribute it across 3 or 4 output PoE ports. https://amazon.com/dp/B0C84ZY6R5 They are entirely made of cheap plastic aside from the switch...- bp2008

This is implemented in UI3-291. You can now omit the toast ID or use the toast ID "multi" to allow multiple toasts to exist at the same time. -
End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?
This behavior (cloud-access only) seems to be intentional only from the Windows client and web client. Evidently mac and mobile clients can connect to things you actually own. But not the Windows version for some reason? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/overview- bp2008

End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?
I installed Windows App again. Still no way to add any devices. Everything about this screams to me "this is just an MS cloud product client". Maybe you guys successfully using it for local connections are using a different version from somewhere? This is just what I get when I install...- bp2008

End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?
Okay, I just downloaded the "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app and the newer "Windows App" app. Yikes. "Microsoft Remote Desktop" is slower than the original Remote Desktop Connection and seems to offer no reason whatsoever for me to switch to it. But it is, at least, what it claims to be. A...- bp2008

End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?
Hmm. I never used the "Remote Desktop" app or "Windows App" (can't ever get over how stupid that name is) from the Microsoft store. Is it meaningfully better than the original "Remote Desktop Connection" program that has been included in Windows for decades? I use Remote Desktop Connection 40...- bp2008

Assistance Finding a Dahua 180° FOV POE for use as a SkyCam
The Color4K-T180 would probably do a really good job for weather cam / sky watching purposes, thanks to its relatively high pixel density (versus other super wide cameras) and very good low light performance. But they did some aspect ratio weirdness with it. It outputs a roughly 20:9 aspect... -
Hi My name Brian I'm new to ipcamtalk, and new posting on the net, I'm a retired 64 year old farmer wanting to learn setting up wireless Wi-Fi cameras
"cat5" is a very old standard which you actually don't want anymore. "cat5e" is the modern minimum. A 1000 foot box of this cable typically costs about $100 to $200 USD and you can find it rated for outdoor and direct burial. Avoid the "CCA" or "Copper clad aluminum" variety even though it...- bp2008

Time between alerts help
There are multiple settings you can use depending on your configuration. None of them are actually called a "cooldown". -

Time between alerts help
I'm not sure you are going to be able to configure something like "max 1 alert from 8 AM to 5 PM", but you can certainly have cooldown periods. Look at the Trigger and Alerts tabs in the camera settings in Blue Iris. -
Hi My name Brian I'm new to ipcamtalk, and new posting on the net, I'm a retired 64 year old farmer wanting to learn setting up wireless Wi-Fi cameras
NVRs expect a camera to be on and streaming video all the time, but a typical battery powered camera can't do that. Battery powered wifi cams are designed to be in a very low-power state most of the time, using something like a passive infrared motion detector to wake the camera when it senses...- bp2008

BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?
Make sure you also fill in the DNS address (same as gateway) or else most of the internet won't work from that machine.- bp2008

BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?
Great. On the BI machine, assign that address statically to the appropriate network interface. Subnet mask is probably 255.255.255.0 and gateway/dns addresses should be 192.168.1.1 or whatever your router's IP is. This way the network interface should always have its IP address assigned long...- bp2008

BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?
Is the home network side using DHCP? I see that Blue Iris is storing a registry entry called "lanip" where the value is the IP address selected in the dropdown box on the Web server settings. I bet if DHCP was slow to obtain an address, Blue Iris could have decided the saved value was obsolete...- bp2008

Blue Iris occasionally does not add its own files to the data base
Nah, I don't think it would help since you've confirmed there is lots of free space on the G drive. I believe BI logs something every 5 minutes when doing file move or delete. If you can track down the exact place in the log where a database screw-up began, maybe there will be other clues... -
BI changed my LAN address - how'd that happen?
Are those addresses both served by the same physical network interface or separate ones? I would assume the .1 interface temporarily glitched or something long enough for programs to notice and automatically select a different interface to call primary. Could happen for example if a driver was...- bp2008

Blue Iris occasionally does not add its own files to the data base
I've had issues like that before but not recently (Blue Iris's clip database has historically been a real mess). Since you're running a pretty old Blue Iris version I would suggest updating to latest. However doing that will require an active support plan. Anything showing in Blue Iris's log... -
Some general camera questions + thermal cameras?
I haven't needed to use IE in a very long time. Most new stuff has a web interface that is highly compatible with Chrome and similar. For older cameras, I use Pale Moon 32 bit to run their plugin, but even that is only necessary for things that require clicking around on a video surface (such...- bp2008

Interesting. I've never seen anything like that before. Your camera layout is very unusual. I'm not sure how you even would accomplish this overlapping cameras thing you have going on. It seems the flickering only happens at very specific stream resolutions, as evidenced by the behavior... -
Auto switch camera layout
It is possible, but pretty involved to set up. You'll need to use MQTT, and connect Blue Iris and the Echo Show's UI3 instance both to the same MQTT server. Then upon the desired events, have Blue Iris send MQTT messages that command UI3 to change its view. You can read about UI3's MQTT... -

Yup, in fact it is even possible with just port 443 forwarded, via the TLS-ALPN-01 validation method supported by LetsEncrypt and Caddy. I even implemented that validation method in my own reverse proxy server I wrote. Unfortunately, just getting that far is difficult for a lot of users... -
No reason not to use amd with latest blue iris, right?
Aha, well 9800x3d is still unnecessarily powerful for BI, but less so than a 9950x3d :) Sure, use it but enable the 65w eco mode in the BIOS otherwise it probably won't give you much if any energy savings over the Intel 9900k. -

@wtf911 I agree native web push support would be nice. I've thought a lot about it before and brought it up to the BI dev before, but if I recall he didn't respond to my email (this is pretty typical for such requests from me). I see 3 challenges with natively supporting web push: 1. I... -
No reason not to use amd with latest blue iris, right?
Well I assume you mean 9950x3d because 9850 is not a thing in current gen AMD. How did you upgrade from that to something else?? It is brand new and top of the line! Do I misunderstand? I just wouldn't recommend it as a new purchase for BI purposes, but if you have it just collecting dust...
