I need to setup a camera system for one of my stores which requires extensive camera coverage and 90 days storage. I'd like to get thoughts here regarding a setup. I have setup HikVision cameras, Wisenet cameras, SmartViewer, BlueIris and that Hikvision NVR software as well. I'm open to a...

I just upgraded today. A few steps I went through. 1. Installed, asked if I wanted to run I said ok. 2. Ran fine, told to uninstall v4 so I did. 3. Rebooted to double check everything was fine. 4. BI5 lost all settings, restored from backup to BI5. 5. Rebooted BI5 has all settings now but...

I don’t trust the motion sensors with the animals. Maybe I will run some tests if it’s possible to disconnect from monitoring temporarily.

It really bothers me I bought and installed this system only to find out there is no way to add glass break sensors. I have Alexa Guard setup but is there anything else I can do?

I'm thinking of adding a IPC-EBW81230 to BI and was wondering if BI is able to dewarp the image or if the camera can do it itself before coming into BI? Thank you.

Yes this is during live vie and the motherboard only has VGA. Hardware decode was set to no. I did restart after setting Hardware Accerlated decode.

Yes on the monitor connected via vga to onboard video card. When I connect to AMD with DVI it looks better. Also I noticed running it without the AMD card motion seems to spike the CPU higher.

I forgot that bit. I added the AMD card back in since. But I did just enable default hardware encoding and I'm at 6% CPU at idle now, 5.4% with console closed, 36% if using iPhone app.

No real difference after pulling the card as far as CPU. It seems the live views quality is not as good. GPU engine and GPU percentage are blank in Task Manager.

I change FPS to 15 from 20 and got CPU down to 12% from 19%. I have this processor, Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Product Specifications Right now I think the onboard intel video is being overridden by an AMD Radeon 5450 that is plugged into a slot (it came with the...

I'm hovering at 19%, I've seen it go as high as 66% when there is a lot of motion. I'm considering adding a discreet 6 MP fish eye near the street, I'm thinking that may put my CPU utilization and storage at a bad place.

Am I safe to enable the h264+ and h265+ since I'm having BI detect motion etc?

The 4mp are setup for h264 and 8mp at h265 does BI compress to these formats or does BI have a less compress or more compressed format?

Hi Everyone, I've had success putting BlueIris behind OpenVPN and setting up just about everything. I'm very happy with BlueIris and have much admiration for the developer as I've been writing software for many years and respect the time and effort this software must've taken. The software is...

Yes I’m going to dial that in tomorrow. Right now I have the cameras setup to a router with no WAN into a second ethernet card on BI server. The first card connects to the LAN and has internet access. I have multiple external IP addresses at my disposal so I may use one with a pfsense box for an...

I ended up doing a VPN. I'm just not sure what's worse a VPN compromising my whole local network or 1 port forwarded to Blue Iris.

I wanted to know everyone's thoughts on removing the contents of the www directory in the interest of security. The source of the login page reveals version info etc by default, the 404 response header returns BlueServer either way with version info. I've looked for a way to disable the web...

I've never used the motion in the kit but see if you can place some white medical tape over the light without impacting detection, or does the whole unit flash?

For the more technically inclined, homespun/ring-alarm I was able to use this project to build in some features that Ring doesn’t offer like auto arm and disarm based on time. Use extreme caution as you could create issues for yourself if you don’t know what you’re doing with code.

I have some i5s and i7s lying around. I'll give them a try if this one fails me.

I was seeing lag in monitoring with one camera hooked up to BI. This was running Server 2008 R2 in a VM running on ESXI. I'm installing Server 2012 on bare metal now and will see if it improves.

I'm looking for a way to monitor my cameras in real time with no delay at my office but also record. Is the best way to do this to get an NVR for real time monitoring and Blue Iris on a server to record? Keep in mind I have (2) 4K Cameras and (2) 4MP cameras. I want to view and record at max...

Installing Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center on Server 2008 R2 solved this same exact issue for me too.

Install went great. Small bug on the iPhone app where if you phone doesn't grant camera privileges by default the app does not prompt you to enable them and just shows a white screen. I was able to enter the QR code digits manually.

What are you using for an NVR? Are you recording on motion with it?

Can I swap out my current Hikvisions for these and continue using iVMS4200 to record motion or should I use something else?

These cameras look great. My only concern is them phoning home to the heart of red China. I think anyone should ask these questions before hooking these up to their internet. I'd buy one if we could flash our own firmware, there is too much junk that could be hidden. Also why would the domain...

On the Ring system, can I set some sensors to not trip the full alarm siren etc but just notify me? I would like to arm my system at night but be able to sleep with a window open which is excluded for the night. Also I’m not currently a Costco member does anyone know the current price? Thanks

There is no baseline profile I can find. Only Main Profile and High Profile, I am using Main Profile. I was able to set resolution without issue to 2688X1520 but only if I set video quality to Medium. Anything above causes issue. What exactly does "Video Quality" mean when you have other...

I just adjusted IFrame interval to 15, not sure if it helped or not. I can't seem to get past 1080p without freezing issues. At 2304x1296 the iPhone app lags but doesn't freeze and iVMS on PC freezes.
