    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Why? Mine are blank on gateway (actually all my cameras are set with blank gateways and fixed ip addresses so cannot get access to internet, also I use a Ubiquity router with these blocked as well, but the logs tell me they no longer connect since setup that way and they work fine.

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Would think it has to be logically separate. Only benefit physically separate would be is if someone was going to physically attach the system, like connecting it to the mains I guess. logically separate should stop external access and dialling home.why do they dial home anyway?

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    1. You can put multiple IP addresses on a single NIC in windows, across different subnets to achieve all that can be done with 2 NICs without the complicated hardware. If you want 2 NICs they can be teamed and then used across 2 subnets anyway 2. I use a Ubiquiti Dream Machine which can block...

    Best Operating system for BI

    My i5 running Windows Server looks like it has given up the ghost. Building a new i5 server: Intel i5 8400 CPU 6- Core ASUS B360M Motherboard 16G DDR4 2400Mhz Ram 650W power and wondering if I should use Windows 10 or Server (got a site licence so both no additional cost) Suggestions?

    Blue Iris Status not reading size of the drive

    The Blue Iris Status, Clip Storage page show over allocation as it does not read available space on the drive (heaps available) so it shows overallocation - the directories are actually allocated on 2 different drives, both with heaps of storage. There is no space warning at the bottom of the...

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    Tony got done for shooting them in the BACK when they were trying to escape, not when he was defending himself. He had an ILLEGAL weapon and had lost his licence prior ..... seems pretty simple to me. Now before you whinge, Australia has similar tight laws to UK and has very little gun crime. I...

    One camera not recording action

    Set make interval down to .2, still playing with it, but that was number 1 problem. Pre-trigger frames set to 20, now gets cars passing, rather than just tail-lights! No idea where iframe interval section is ... camera seems to only provide 12fps, even if I change the setting to 24fps. Is this...

    Hikvision DS-7616HI-ST Live View not starting all cameras

    Found that switch, turn it on so now the Analog cameras start automatically, which is good, but IPCameras still don't. Any other ideas?

    Hikvision DS-7616HI-ST Live View not starting all cameras

    When I click on the 'Start all live view' cameras at the bottom of the screen in the web browser, only the active analog cameras start, and I have to go through the IPCameras one at a time, selecting the window, then double-clicking the camera to start it. When I click on "Stop all Cameras' all...

    One camera not recording action

    Have set it up to show shading, which it does when a car goes past, just not recording in BI. Have checked setting same as another camera which is working, and starting to lose what little hair I had when I started. Any Ideas?

    Blue Iris Support Email

    I had the same problem, sending emails to support ... I installed the software and registered it on one computer fine, then decided to move it to a more powerful server, which went fine. However, on the new machine it registers fine, then a few days later wants me to re-register. Any idea?

    Fisheye camera false advertising

    They are not the only ones ... A '35mm' or 'full frame' camera has a sensor that is 35mm wide. So you'd imagine a 1" or 1/1.16" or 1/2.3" sensor would have one that wide? Wouldn't you? Well, they are not. A 1" or 1/1.16" or 1/2.3" sensor is calculated by adding the width AND the height...

    Security camera set up required after home burglery attempt

    Seems most regulars here hate Foscam on principle. I have a i9900 and really happy with it (so far) and note that is it much wider than the usual recommended cameras here (which is a good thing). The WIFI was a bit flakey, but wired is fine, though no Power over Ethernet (PoE) means you have to...

    Can't get IPC-HFW1320S to record to NAS or FTP servers

    Got a IPC-HFW1320S and it works fine, except with a Hikvision DVR you cannot set it up to record. Got Blue Iris for that though. Wanted it to record to a NAS box directly instead to reduce overheads on net. On the menu, enabled Motion Detect, setup working period to include everything...

    2 cams with night vision

    I'm also looking for a couple of all weather bullets to hide in the garden near the front gate, would prefer Hikvision, as I have a Hikvision NVR, but as I also use Blur Iris, somewhat flexible. Problem from what I see with Hikvision, is they are all narrow in the bullet format (4mm+ 70...

    New Blue Iris questions

    So I assume (famous last words ...) if you left it on 'Default' and selected it on the main screen, it would turn on for all cameras?

    New Blue Iris questions

    The only place I can find Hardware Acceleration is on the main 'Blue Iris Options' page under 'Cameras', and I can see anything at the camera level.

    New Blue Iris questions

    Strangely, BI says I am using 70% CPU while Task Manager reports 26% Turned on hardware acceleration and restarted server, but didn't seem to see much change. I want to record low res to BI for searching, high res somewhere else (like internal SD card, NAS server). If I just record cameras...

    New Blue Iris questions

    Have just moved Blue Iris from one machine (Xeon server) to new one (fast i5) and still looks like uses lots of cpu, and doesn't keep up with my Hikvision NVR (which also has analog inputs) So, a couple of questions aimed at potentially increasing efficiency: 1: Cameras have several streams...

    Problem with Kogan Cameras ...

    I have a couple of Kogan PTZ cameras I use inside, usually over wireless. They work fine, but since I started using BI, they recent to the neutral position after a while. How do I stop this?

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    So does Blue Iris support 265? In a 265 camera, can you usually select a 264 stream? Just thinking about future proofing as I am just setting out buying cameras (existing were Analog and the analog recorder broke)
