    Blue Iris UI3

    @aesterling Probably doesn't matter. Much. The first obstacle is that Blue Iris would have to support WebRTC (it doesn't). I've also never done any coding using WebRTC so I'm entirely unfamiliar with how it works internally. However it is likely that H.265 support in WebRTC means increased...

    BI PC Upgrade Time!

    Haha @looney2ns I opened that ebay link and saw i5-10500 for $25 and was thinking "wow, sign me up for a dozen" until I realized your URL was showing auctions, not just buy-it-now!

    Large DB (>250,000 records) notification in BI

    Three things: Use the "Combine or cut" feature in camera properties > Record tab to reduce the total number of clips. Fine tune your triggers to have fewer false alarms. Use an AI engine to delete alerts that are deemed unimportant. Of course this stuff will not apply retroactively. It will...

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Yes The mouse's USB connection to the computer would be the power source. Likewise, the mouse's existing connection to the computer could be piggybacked for data exfiltration. Yup there's plenty of room inside a mouse for advanced spy tech. They could even take out the mouse's original...

    When the shock wears off you're sure going to be embarrassed when you realize you were holding your phone the wrong direction taking those pics and videos later. :rofl:

    Need camera ideas

    As an example, I'm personally very happy with Annke FCD600 as a low budget overview cam since it uses two image sensors and lenses to deliver a 180 degree field of view with minimal distortion, and it usually costs around $80 USD. But it is manufactured by Dahua so it isn't NDAA compliant, and...

    Need camera ideas

    You say "The state requires 30fps". Does that mean you require 30 FPS? That sounds like a rule written by someone who somehow thinks a high frame rate is the mark of quality. Also because you mention "the state", does that mean you are subject to NDAA rules? On this forum you will mostly...

    Reolink stopped working with BI

    Oh yeah, on the same line of thought as @TonyR's questions, Blue Iris has sometimes been known to change the IP address it has configured to reach a camera due to bugs in the MAC address lookup. Double check that the camera's IP is still what you think it is, and that Blue Iris is still...

    Reolink stopped working with BI

    I would probably reboot again just to see if that brings it back. If not, try deleting and re-adding the camera in Blue Iris in case something got corrupted about its configuration. Consider exporting the camera settings before you delete it just so you have a complete backup of the config.

    Playback skipping critical points

    If you have sub streams configured, try exporting the clip from the sub stream only and see if that will play properly. I know it isn't ideal but it might at least get you something if it works.

    Blue Iris and Windows 11 24H2?

    Hardware acceleration and nvidia have not been mentioned in patch notes since March 2020. I doubt updating Blue Iris would solve this. I'm with wittaj here and suggest just not using hardware acceleration anymore and use sub streams instead to keep CPU usage down. This will have the benefit...

    Trying to fix intermittent fault - question about nvidia drivers...

    Yup. It looks like you have a hot spot on your CPU with the wide temperature difference between cores. I am not sure how much of that is normal for Haswell parts (4000 series Intel) but with good cooling you should basically never see the peak temperature turn red like that without...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hah I was just trying to reply to the separate thread you had created, and then you deleted it. I think it is safe to rule out UI3 or any network as the cause of the problem, and you'll need to email Blue Iris support about it. Let me attempt to explain why. Not to confuse you, but every...

    Trying to fix intermittent fault - question about nvidia drivers...

    Check the CPU temperature before bothering with a new cooler. If it is below about 80°C then I doubt there is any reason to upgrade the cooling. Otherwise I'd just go with something like this https://amazon.com/dp/B09LGY38L4 In a 4U case you probably have 155mm of clearance to suit that...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Oops @biggen I forgot the login page has the same global error catcher and needs updated too. I'll try to get that out this week along with the MQTT toast message feature.

    @looney2ns He probably edited his Blue Iris user account and limited its permissions. Maybe the Anonymous account if anonymous auth is enabled in the web server settings.

    Blue Iris UI3

    That config looks fine for Dahua cameras too. If changing back to H.265 fixes the issue it might be worth just sticking with that. Otherwise it sounds like your support plan is actually active still so contacting Blue Iris support would be the next step I think..

    Blue Iris UI3

    Look in Blue Iris's status window. It is the icon at the top that looks like a squiggly arrow pointing up and to the right. There you will find the "Log" tab and a checkbox at the bottom that lets it be saved to a file. Otherwise you just have the log messages since the last time Blue Iris...

    I like that idea, and yes of course that is possible. I've added this to my issue tracker: Add MQTT command to display a toast message · Issue #195 · bp2008/ui3 Can you think of any other features this should have besides what I wrote in the issue? I have not decided yet if I should try to...

    @biggen UI3-286 should suppress that error message now.

    Blue Iris UI3

    That is UI3's global error handler catching an error in a script that does not belong to UI3. It could be a script injected by a browser extension or by the web browser itself. Either way, I have a mechanism in place in UI3 for ignoring specific error messages in situations just like this and...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Everything looks fine there too. I was wondering if it might be Smart Codec or one of the other poorly supported encoding options but you aren't using anything that normally causes issues for Blue Iris. Here are a couple more ideas: 1. You could try removing the sub stream path from one of the...

    @CJ133 Can you take a screenshot of some of your cameras' encoding settings in their web interfaces? Where the main and sub stream resolution and bit rates and stuff is configured?

    Blue Iris UI3

    Your Streaming 0 profile looks fine since UI3 is being allowed to override settings. All of UI3's default profiles override the resolution and bit rate so the 4K one should look basically pristine. For UI3, bandwidth issues will not cause low quality, it will just cause bad video delay. It...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmm, I am not thrilled with cluttering up the context menu for this especially since UI3 gets used on all kinds of screen sizes, some of them very small. And unfortunately I can't control PTZ speed. Back when I was adding gamepad/joystick support, Blue Iris added a more advanced PTZ control...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Weird. I am not sure what would cause that besides having a low res quality profile selected, which you don't. UI3 actually barely has any awareness of sub streams, and certainly does not control the transition between sub stream and main stream when maximizing a camera. This most likely a...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    I don't know if that actually ever happens. I did share video with cops once about an event that was unrelated to me or my property, but my cameras had seen their suspect. A year later the case went to trial where I was brought in as a witness. The prosecutor showed the video clips to the...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    I always recommend having the camera embed its own timestamps, and to disable Blue Iris's timestamp overlay that it adds by default. This way Blue Iris won't need to recompress the video to add timestamps, so your clip exports are much faster and retain their original quality. This does of...

    Weight value as overlay

    Interesting project. It sounds like the device only provides the weight data via a websocket. The JsonDataExtractor app does not support using a websocket to receive data. It requires the JSON payload to be delivered as the response to a simple HTTP request. You would have to ask the company...
