Thanks for the suggestion. I found that my setting was set to 6.0 MB on every camera. I adjusted each to 12 figuring that doubling it might be a safe bet as it doubles what I had + puts me in the 10-20 range you suggested. So far no cameras have drifted into the rainbow looking pink haze view...

I did reboot all of the cameras in the camera GUI. I've also "rebooted" them by remoting to my switch and power cycling the POE ports over VPN (this was before I realized BI has a simple right click >> restart camera option in UI3 -- bit of a durr on my part). That being said, while a full...

It's a mixture of Hikvision 4MP domes, Hikvision 3MP domes, a Hikvision 3MP turret, and a few Dahua domes. I can get exact model numbers a bit later today. The split is basically 10 FPS for indoor cameras, 15 FPS for outdoor cameras, all running via H264. Full time recording w/ motion alerts...

Good morning friends. Hope everyone is well. I have been running into something recently and finally decided to post about it here. For the last few weeks I've noticed every once in a while, seemingly at random, one of my ten cameras will drop off with presenting me its regular feed. Instead...

At the moment I have stunnel running on my Blue Iris setup which routes to my domain name (one of my servers runs DDNS to ensure my domain updates should my ISP give me a new IP address). I understand it may not be VPN level but it's a convenience factor that I like. My cameras themselves are...

Ooof. How did you survive a parity setup with SS? I tested it out and the speeds were just like the internet said -- inexcusably slow. Mirror setups seem pretty solid though. How long ago was this? When I looked into using storage spaces (I now run it on my home server... we'll see if I regret...

Thanks for your insight. The box itself actually dictated my options for me. I totally forgot that the BI rig I was using was an ultra small form factor. It has room for one 3.5 inch bay and that's it (the OS runs on a 2.5 inch SSD that I managed to find a spot for). Otherwise the box is grid...

Hi friends. I have BI rigged up to a 6TB Purple. All is well, no issues, etc. I was digging through some old towers I have (I have entirely too many old shells) and found a 4TB Purple in one of them. I think it was a longer term test I was doing of a different VMS system at one point. I figured...

Hm, hey, did you by chance happen to try the camera/snapshot button within UI3? I did on accident when trying to click on the 3 dots next to it...

You're wonderful. That worked well! :) Because I'm a curious person, what's the bottom line of what happened here? Chrome dropped support (of any type) for TLS 1.3 and I assume the .pem stunnel creates is TLS 1.3? In contrast the free self signed cert service zerossl that you linked offers...

Hi all. I'm having a bit of an issue with remoting in to my setup. I have a web server at home which also runs DDNS so I have a domain to hit my home network. I have an L2TP VPN set up through my Unifi USG, which works, and while I understand the VPN is more secure there are times I prefer to...

Possibly a silly question or two here, but would rather ask than not so I'm aware as I've somewhat recently jumped on BI and intend to use it for the foreseeable future... I believe most of this was sort-of addressed throughout the thread but given some of the initial confusion as I read the...

I think I'm on to something, at least as far as identifying where the gap originates from. When I was testing this with recent alerts, there was almost always a consistent time gap. But... if I try this with a much older alert, or if I try this from any clip that is not the most recent, the time...

I just noticed something happening with UI3 that I wanted to see if others are seeing. If I right click a paused video from my alerts pane and copy the image address, then paste in a browser, the time stamp from the screenshot image versus where I had the video paused in UI3 is different. With...

Hmm, but when you say you can see the yellow border on that one camera, does it flash on and off at random intervals? I'd see it on for 3 seconds, off for 1 second, on for 8 seconds, off for 2 seconds, on for 19 seconds, off for 12 seconds, etc. No settings were changing and no action was...

The only problem is I struggle with identifying which one works best for my needs. I find the gestures of switching between camera views on UI3 to be a little more natural, though the native app works just fine too once you know them. I've had the app crash on me a few times (not a lot, but...

Well... I'm not too sure where this leaves me, but a quick update. Today we're dealing with similar lighting, same time of day, same type of weather, etc. as we were seeing yesterday when I ran into the two cams throwing the yellow border in a consistent on/off fashion. Today I'm not seeing any...

Good point. I'm not using it for anything now. I was previously using it on my other VMS that I decommissioned literally three nights ago (I was using old VMS + Blue Iris demo in tandem until I went full Blue Iris for more testing/possible permanent switch). I'll nix the sub streams quick since...

Well, the cameras are "sort of" various models. The outdoor cameras are 4 EyeSurv and 1 Dahua. I'm sure you know this, but EyeSurv is rebranded Dahua (a brand Nelly's carried before going with NSC). One EyeSurv and the Dahua are the two I was focusing on today. The random one that resurfaced...

Ha, no sooner did I hit post reply, my rear camera (an EyeSurv, totally different from the problem children cameras that instigated the thread) threw a yellow border. Only once though for a few seconds, not consistently like before with the other cams. Eh. I'll keep a close eye on the FPS...

Thanks for your suggestions Fenderman. I could have sworn I checked these settings, but after your response I was so curious I VPN'd home and brought up each camera UI on my phone. A few of them were H264H when I thought for sure they were H264 across the board. Smart codec is only available on...

Hi friends. I'm continuing to tinker with my new Blue Iris setup and have spotted something interesting. A few of my cameras on my 5 outdoor/3 indoor camera setup seem to consistently have yellow borders coming up on the feeds. I dug around this forum, Reddit, and the help file, and came up with...

To build on this and share my setup, just a few days ago I tossed Blue Iris on a spare rig I had. i3-3240, 120 GB SSD for OS, 4 TB WD Purple for storage, 8 GB RAM. I did the recommended split of new+db on SSD and 'stored' being on the WD Purple. I'm using 8 cameras (7 = 3 megapixel, 1 = 2...

Something told me it was an iOS limitation, to which my surprise level is exactly zero. The iPhone is my work phone where I don't really want to go down the road of installing apps for personal use on it, though I do keep the UI3 entry bookmarked in my browser. Personal and work phone are...

I tried digging but either I'm failing considerably or I have my answer without realizing it... With UI3 on iOS, is audio not supported? I have 3 cameras with audio enabled. On Chrome/Android, it works on phone and tablet. On Chrome or Safari with iOS, no dice. I compared my settings line by...

Yeah, I remember reading about some imposters as well. Pretty certain I have the correct one. This is it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueirissoftware.blueiris The reason I noticed it is I have a laptop in my daughter's room that is set up to be fully on autopilot...

Hi friends. I've spent the night tinkering with the official Android app and UI3 on a few Android devices. I'm noticing some behaviors that I wanted to kick around on here in case anybody has any ideas or insight. I enabled audio on 3 of my indoor cameras that act as baby monitors for the...

Hmm, I see. I think I was misunderstanding the relationship with triggers versus continuous feeds. It sounds like the way I have it set up now might be fitting as-is (with the potential of tweaking triggers a bit, though despite being default they seem closer to what I'd consider accurate than...

Hi friends. It's been a while since I had the time to sit down and branch out a bit to test different VMS's so I've been putting some time into doing that recently just to see what's changed and how updates have progressed over the last year or two. On the bench this week is a Dell rig with...

Building on this, chollz, also keep in mind that in Pihole's admin interface you can simply disable the blocking feature for a set amount of time. Several times in the past I've been unable to access a certain location or resource. To see quickly if Pihole is playing a key role I just disable it...
