    Preventing the use of a GPU

    Howdy, Is it possible to prevent Blue Iris from using my GPU? I have the hardware decoding set to Intel+VPP and the GPU set to zero on all four of my cameras. I still see in the task manager that BI spikes the GPU to almost 100% for a moment, drops to zero, climbs, and so forth. CPU is under 3%...

    Camera not triggering

    Good day, I have a camera that is not triggering either by walking in front of it or by the Blue Iris manual trigger. The camera has been operating for over a year, and I didn't make any changes to it that I can recall. I am in the process of reinstalling it in Blue Iris. I never had this issue...

    Time to replace my DS-2CD2032-I... PTZ this time around?

    Greetings, I have one DS-2CD2032-I left out of 8. Lasted about 7 years. Is this average life span for home cameras? Instead of replacing one for one, I was thinking of trying PTZ's on the corners. I don't need auto-tracking, I would like to have the ability to move the camera at times. I have...

    Multiple CPU Xeon & Bi

    My old box took a surge strike and I am now searching for a replacement. Would there be any advantages to go with multiple cpu's xeon workstation server to run BlueIris on? I put BlueIris back on my old Thinkserver TS140 with a single E3-1225 v3 processor until I can find a replacement. I have...

    Not recording

    For some reason on this past Sunday, BI no longer records. All cameras are working and triggering. I have not touched BI in a month or so. I leave it unattended for the most part, just happened to glance at it today and noticed. I did an update and now I am current but it's still no recording...

    IP Door Bell with Video & Two Way Audio

    I am a novice and I don't even know if what I want exists for home use. Would I need an VOIP phone or can I talk through any of my computer/tablet/smart phone which are on my home network?
