    New 16 camera system needed for small shop...

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I was hanging out here on this forum... too many other issues in life have taken priorities. My 7 home cameras (Amcrest) and my home built BlueIris Server are working fine. I've thrown away the cheap chinese PTZ I was playing with. But now I have a new...

    Blue Iris Remote View... Can I open straight to a specific Camera?

    I use Blue Iris Remote View from work to keep an eye on my wife at home (No... I'm not over-possessive... she is ill). Obviously it opens to the main login page, but from there is there a way to have it specifically go to a default camera? Or perhaps there is a URL that I can put in the browser...

    Totally obscure question... about 360 degree "Action" cameras...

    After several years of hiatus, I'm contemplating getting back into motorcycling (now with my son, old enough to ride with me). I'd like to document some of our rides together, so I'm thinking of purchasing an "Action" camera. I was researching something of the GoPro nature, but then I saw some...

    Need your help guys... (Simple Viewer)

    I know you guys can help me with this... I need a simple way to view one camera out of my 8 that are managed by Blue Iris. My wife is not doing well, and I now have a camera in our room that allows me to keep an eye on her when I am running around the house, out in the studio, or otherwise not...

    What's with the "Predator" image problem...?

    Recently several (not all) of my cameras recordings have been creating a Predator effect (like in the movie). It has been since the BI upgrade that takes advantage of Hardware Acceleration (if that has any bearing). I have turned all HA off in all cameras, yet it still exists (this is a...

    This camera just looks like fun...

    Does anyone have any experience with this particular camera, or can suggest one like it. (I'm mostly intrigued by the price). http://www.aliexpress.com/item/805-D20XB-P2P-Zoom-Outdoor-250m-Laser-IR-CUT-2-0MP-1080P-HD-Network-PTZ-Speed/32340526699.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000014.5.ShWdFC I have...

    Reducing CPU dependency...

    I was using Blue Iris to create the TimeStamp graphic overlays, because I really liked being able to chose location/size/font, etc... In an effort to reduce CPU load, I recently configured all 6 of my IP cameras to produce their own TimeStamp overlays, and turned the ones in BI off. Can't say...

    A couple of error questions...

    I have been using Blue Iris 4 for a while now, and am learning as I go. There are very few BI Training resources that I have found, and the help files are sometimes... well... not very helpful. In my Blue Iris 4 log I see two things that keep happening: The first is a "Clip Write Error" and...

    Simple change of Background Color to Background Image...

    So what I want to do is simply replace the solid colored background of the login.htm file in the "WWW" folder to reflect a picture instead. I'm no HTML or CSS expert, but I know my way around notepad, and can insert a tag in the right place. I've used the "background" tag, the "background...
