Ok I deleted the clips, archives etc. and now it is launching. Let's hope it does not crash after few minutes of running...that was the first issue I faced, where is crashed after running for a while. I will update on here in a couple of hours, either it should still be running or it has...

Hello, I have been using Blue Iris v4 for a couple of years and was ready to upgrade to V5, but recently began facing two issues (with v4). The first issue is 1) Blue Iris v4 began to shut down automatically a couple of minutes after launching, I rechecked my storage drives etc. and emptied...

Thank you

Thank you

I do not think I can afford a Cisco or Ubiquiti switch! So any recommendations for $100 or less would be much appreciated

Hello all, I am looking for a small (4-6 port) PoE switch to connect 2 or 3 cameras too. I found this on Amazon TP-Link 5 Port Fast Ethernet 10/100Mbps PoE Switch | 4 PoE Ports @58W | Desktop | Plug & Play | Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | Unmanaged...

Hello, I hope all of you are well. I want to get a few 12v DC 2 or 3 amp adaptors/adapters to connect to individual cameras. I have electricity (110v AC) near each of the cameras. Is there a good brand/model you recommend? There are so many options on Amazon, mostly very cheap units for...

I do not believe I got any desiccant with the cameras, I presume I can buy some small packets and put them in the gap behind the lens? Where would I put the sealant? where the gasket comes out? I think the gasket is like a rectangular piece of rubber so I would put it along that? Do I need to...

Hello J Sigmo cool avatar! I am in Texas near the coast, so yes there is humidity and the occasional rain when it is 90 degrees, so fluctuations in temperature etc. The cameras are outdoors, so they are in direct contact with rain, i.e. they do not have an eaves. What do you suggest? unmount...

I continue to have these condensation issues when it rains heavily with my IPC HFW5231EP-Z12 which are placed outdoors (no easement). Can I put a ziploc bag or some plastic or other clear covering over the housing and lens to prevent this from recurring? These are bullet shaped cameras...

Good afternoon Mr. Lonsdale, Thank you for this advice. To confirm, the black cover you are referring to is this one (see pic below) or is it some other one? Please advise. Thank you!

Sir the model number is IPC HFW5231EP-Z12 I have also sent you this info by PM Thanks!

Hello, How is everyone? Happy Holidays in advance! I have a few Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 and at least one of them is facing issues with water vapor/condensation. I am in South Texas, so its not like we are dealing with freezing temps etc. I have been in touch with the retailer, the great...

Thank you @awsum140 Are there any other video settings I can fine tune? Currently my settings are: Encode mode: H264.H Smart codec: Off Resolution: 1920 * 1080 (1080p) - Do I need this at 1080p? Frame Rate (FPS) 15 Bit Rate 4096kb/S I Frame Interval 15 (I just changed it to 15) Thank you

@fenderman Thank you sir. I am using direct to disk recording on Blue Iris (I think this is the preferred option to minimize CPU usage). So if I am understanding right the iframe interval and fps e.g. 15fps must be the same? Thank you @actran - if I set to record continuous, I presume it will...

Good morning, I am slightly confused about clips vs alerts on Blue Iris (BI), I have read the forums on here, but still a bit hazy. I have configured about 10 of my cameras to trigger when motion is detected, and I guess record an alert. The issue I am facing is that when I log on to UI3, and...

I too have been getting this yellow clock icon on UI3, its like a 3/4 clock. It says my internet connection is not fast enough for real time streaming, and that I should change the streaming speed or something? I noticed there are streaming profiles on UI3, so I was wondering if there is any way...

Good morning, Newbie here. I have a desktop running Windows 10, and Blue Iris (BI). These are connected to my ISP router via a Netgear Nighthawk X4S AC 2600. So there is an ethernet cable running from the Nighthawk X4S AC2600 to the desktop running Blue Iris (BI). I have read through most of...

I purchased a couple of the 80ft and 200ft Tendelux IR illuminators thank you @bigredfish and @looney2ns As this is my first time using these I am not sure where to mount them. Do they need to be mounted near the camera, or can they be mounted a bit away from the camera where the camera's...

Thanks!

Great thread, very helpful as always. I too am looking for recommendations for IR illumination. I do not necessarily need it to be PoE, I have access to 110v and 12v, so connecting it in high or low voltage electricity is ok, and preferred. Several of my cameras are outdoors, in open areas of...

Thank you @fenderman I believe there are 2 SATA ports one being used by the current HDD and the other by the DVD rom. I guess I can disable the DVD rom and use that SATA port for the purple HD for storage. How would I migrate Blue Iris (BI) to the SSD? Would I lose all my settings, i.e. all...

Also, I have another question. I have a couple of WD Purple Surveillance HDs....how do I use these? Do I need to replace the original HD on this desktop (HP Pavillion 570-p033w) not sure if it takes additional HDs or do I connect the Purple HD via USB or how does one connect and use it? Thank you

Hello and greetings, I have begun configuring the cameras individually to reduce the fps on each, I think it has dropped the CPU usage, I will check. I was also playing around with triggers and alerts, and have a question: 1) Using Blue Iris (BI), I have set some of the cameras to send me...

Hello, Thank you for your help. I have begun trying to setup Blue Iris (BI) and managed to get on maybe 2/3 of my cameras. I am using the trial version and will upgrade to the full version tomorrow. I have two quick questions, I still need to go through the Blue Iris instruction manuals...

Thank you all for your feedback. Actually it was sort of shared gift from my family to me, and also partly from me to myself. I found this for a good price and decided to bite the bullet. I am in the process of trying to set up Blue Iris (BI) and moving the cameras from the NVR to the switch. ...

Hello, I hope you all are doing great, I am back again with another question. I was gifted a desktop (see below), I plan to dedicate it solely to use for Blue Iris (BI) for about 18 cameras. The desktop is a HP Pavillion 570-p033w HP Pavilion 570-p033w Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP®...

Than you @bp2008 this looks like a reasonable unit and it has a one year warranty. My concern is that it has no HDMI ports...I want to connect the tower to 1-2 HDMI inputs i.e. monitors I presume there are USB TO HDM adaptors...do they work ok? Or I can keep looking for something with HDMI...

Thank you @bp2008 are you able to share any ebay links you have where you have seen these prices? I know there are hundreds of options on ebay, the hard part is trying to find the legitimate listings. I will appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks

Hello and Happy New Year to all of you! I am still looking for a computer system or equivalent to run Blue Iris (BI) with about 25 cameras at my home/home office. I will keep that computer/hardware exclusively for Blue Iris (BI) so I want something that is affordable, as I just need it for...
