    Recommendations for a mini PC

    Sure, my tower works well for that also. I'm just trying to avoid another obelisk is my office. As it turns out, my current tower fits snugly between the desk and the credenza.

    Recommendations for a mini PC

    4 cameras x 2 MP x 30 fps = 240 Mbps. Is that not the correct math? (Based on bp2008's rule-of-thumb in the Wiki: Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris)

    Recommendations for a mini PC

    Does anyone have recommendations for a (preferably fanless) dedicated mini PC to run Blue Iris at about 240 Mbps? I'm looking to move my installation from my main desktop so that I can convert it to Linux. I assume that just about any i5 xxxxU mpu would work well. What about i3, or i5 processors...

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    Thank you everyone for your comments. The issue has been resolved.

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    The only data they have (and immediately discard by the way) are the DNS requests and URLs that I visit. I can live with that.

    :facepalm: OK man. I'm sure you think you know what you're talking about.

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    Thank you. Yes, I understand the difference between the two configurations. My priority is outbound VPN since my access to Blue Iris is almost exclusively via LAN and desktop. Once I can access Blue Iris remotely, I will set up OpenVPN (which I've already tested on my router–it's not difficult...

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    Not yet. I have a couple more things to try. I think I need to specify the VPN IP address in my NAT (although I think I already tried that). I'll try it again and report back here if it works.

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    The premise of your question is errant. The company is not random–it is a well-respected VPN provider. I use it to increase my privacy and security while using the internet. Why that's beneficial is a vast topic probably outside of the scope of this discussion.

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    I think there's some confusion. This VPN is both outbound, and supposedly will open a port for inbound use. This not a dedicated Blue Iris system, thus the need for outbound VPN. There's no reason it shouldn't work.

    Has anyone successfully used Blue Iris with Mullvad VPN?

    I recently added to Mullvad VPN to my Windows 10 computer that runs Blue Iris. When the VPN is active, I am no longer able to access the web server from the internet (although I still can from my LAN). I have followed Mullvad's instructions for opening a (TCP) port and have changed my (DD-WRT)...

    Version 5 bugs and issues

    V. 5.0.0.55 x64 seems to have some serious issues. The motion zones on one of my cameras was messed up (again), but in a different way than usual. When I cleared it to recreate the masks (again), it did not completely clear. There were two lines of random yellow and red boxes. When I saved the...

    Version 5 bugs and issues

    It also happens when changing hardware acceleration from Intel to No which is necessary to eliminate the bottom border pixelation on a cloned camera.

    Version 5 bugs and issues

    I bit the bullet and did a full wipe and fresh reinstall of 5.0.0.53. Removing all the registry entries was like killing a hydra. I had to change the permissions for some of the children of the main key in order to delete them. So far, it's working pretty smoothly, however my motion zones on...

    Help with BlueIris 5? Their support ignores my messages

    The developer is obviously overwhelmed with support requests and pushing out various fixes on an almost daily basis. I just finished wiping my entire BI4 and BI5 installs and starting over. That entailed deleting a lot of registry entries, one of which required setting advanced permissions to...

    Version 5 bugs and issues

    I think that's where I find myself also. Did you have to deactivate your license key first? I don't want to prevented from using the software at all because my license key is not recognized on a fresh install.

    Version 5 bugs and issues

    There are definitely still some issues. The pixelation issue comes and goes with no discernible pattern. The UI occasional stops working correctly (frames can't be maximized, or UI PZT controls appear on frames that don't have PZT). I've also had issues with zone motion detection not working on...

    Just notied a line pixilated at the bottom.

    I have now that I'm back on my PC. Here's what I found: My configuration is one original camera with three cloned cameras for various purposes. The pixelation occurred only on the three cloned cameras. Changing the hardware acceleration settings on the any of the cloned cameras had no effect...

    Just notied a line pixilated at the bottom.

    I have the same problem in one of two camera setups from one physical camera. It is in live view, regardless of the window size and it records with the pixelated line. I'm using Intel hardware acceleration.
