The idea is to export the two camera streams and audio into a single clip. It could be PIP or side by...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Not sure if my problem was exactly the same as everyone elses, but I had very similar symptoms over the last week. I am unsure as to whether it was a BI update or Windows update which caused the issues. An update of my Intel Graphics 530 to driver version 23.20.16.4849 seems to have fixed the...

    Need additional 10x PTZ, V1 or V2?

    @mjvod I use a V1 to capture the side view of the cars (perpendicular to the street) and a V2 fully zoomed in to 10x @ approximately 80 feet, at about a 45 degree angle and am grabbing tags pretty well day/night. I used the settings in @stoney7713 post above.

    exterior data drop pricing check

    I have to say that $100 a drop isn't too pricey with the information provided. I would probably max out @ $200 per with him supplying all material and painting/patching. However, there are a lot of factors at play as discussed by the others.

    Cleaning the PC and DVR or NVR

    Yeah that's nasty. I usually try to give my machines a tune up every 6 months or so,but more so if they are in rough environments where dust, smoke, or other environmental influences can impact their performance.

    stunnel

    @105437 I have my LAN port set to the same as my WAN. So in your case, the :81 under LAN may need to be changed to :8344. Also, select HTTPS: LAN Also if you do this. Confirm your settings in stunnel and that you made adjustments to your firewall and forwarded the port on your router?

    Network Time Help

    Got it...I guess I am a bit confused on Firewall settings. Apparently just allowing the software through wasn't sufficient and I had to add an additional incoming rule for port 123. Seems to be working now.Thanks a lot. Hopefully I didn't open up any vulnerabilities in the process.
