    Auto switch camera layout

    It is possible, but pretty involved to set up. You'll need to use MQTT, and connect Blue Iris and the Echo Show's UI3 instance both to the same MQTT server. Then upon the desired events, have Blue Iris send MQTT messages that command UI3 to change its view. You can read about UI3's MQTT...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Yup, in fact it is even possible with just port 443 forwarded, via the TLS-ALPN-01 validation method supported by LetsEncrypt and Caddy. I even implemented that validation method in my own reverse proxy server I wrote. Unfortunately, just getting that far is difficult for a lot of users...

    No reason not to use amd with latest blue iris, right?

    Aha, well 9800x3d is still unnecessarily powerful for BI, but less so than a 9950x3d :) Sure, use it but enable the 65w eco mode in the BIOS otherwise it probably won't give you much if any energy savings over the Intel 9900k.

    @wtf911 I agree native web push support would be nice. I've thought a lot about it before and brought it up to the BI dev before, but if I recall he didn't respond to my email (this is pretty typical for such requests from me). I see 3 challenges with natively supporting web push: 1. I...

    No reason not to use amd with latest blue iris, right?

    Well I assume you mean 9950x3d because 9850 is not a thing in current gen AMD. How did you upgrade from that to something else?? It is brand new and top of the line! Do I misunderstand? I just wouldn't recommend it as a new purchase for BI purposes, but if you have it just collecting dust...

    That is a good idea. It will be in the next ui3 release.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Also, I think Blue Iris does support streaming "WAV" audio via some other URL. UI2 used to be able to use that way back in the day. That is a path you might try entering into the Audio path field. Otherwise you want to leave the Audio path empty. Here we are.

    Blue Iris UI3

    You could try the .ts or HLS streams that Blue Iris provides (see help file for URLs), to see if they are any better. I believe for either of those it would be appropriate to select the Model: "HTTP Live Streaming (HLS, M3U8), MP2TS." Ironically it seems Blue Iris probably does not support...

    No reason not to use amd with latest blue iris, right?

    Correct, AMD has been fine to use with Blue Iris for at least 5 years now. Intel was the undisputed best choice for Blue Iris from about 2010 to 2017 because AMD was simply not competing effectively. AMD released the Zen 1 architecture in 2017 which made them less of a terrible choice, but...

    Blue Iris UI3

    UI3 can't load separate audio streams of any kind. Only whatever comes with H.264 video. How did you add the group video stream to blue iris as a new camera? It should definitely be capable of doing audio, but you might have to use a different URL to stream from than you are currently using...

    has there been a change?--Scrubbing Timeline to view cameras

    Timeline playback in the local console does appear to be broken in latest Blue Iris. You should send in a support ticket (Blue Iris Settings > Get support button > Email Support > Copy button). In the meantime you can use the ui3 web interface's timeline as that still is working.

    How to Configure a VPN-Based Solution for Connecting Remote CCTV Cameras Over SIM-Based Internet to a Central NVR?

    Cellular networks have no impact on your choice of VPN. The biggest problem is typically the learning curve. The more networking knowledge and experience and patience you have, the easier it will be. For example, many users would struggle with even just setting up different LAN IP address...

    Yes, the login page should be suppressing that error in UI3-287 and later (released April 24th). If not, let me know!

    Blue Iris UI3

    MQTT-triggered toast messages are implemented in UI3-289. I went pretty deep into the customization capabilities, especially click handling, which can change UI tabs, open groups or cameras, open clips/alerts, and navigate absolutely or relatively on the timeline. Documentation is in the UI3...

    I’m having troubles with the alert list.

    Check your Blue Iris log file (if you don't have logging enabled, turn it on). Unexpected application restarts (crashes) could cause database corruption causing alerts to disappear. So that is something I'd look for. Typically you will see this at the very bottom of the log file where Blue...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @DarkHelmet Ok I figured out the problem. I've sent a comprehensive bug report to Blue Iris support. In the meantime, Name/value needs to match the preset # but description can be whatever you want as long as it is not empty. If either of those columns is empty, it creates a gap in the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @DarkHelmet If there is a bug it is probably on Blue Iris's end. Look at the camera properties in Blue Iris. PTZ/Control tab. Click "Edit presets". This shows all your presets in a table. Under normal circumstances the "#" column should match the "Name/value" column, and the descriptions...

    Using optane for the database won't make a difference for timeline seeking. I'm fairly certain all the database operations involved in the timeline feature are happening in RAM anyway. The timeline's database operations are very, very fast (the database is queried when you drag the timeline...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    That Xeon server probably draws 2x the power of the i7-8700 while performing slower. I would not overclock a CPU for Blue Iris. That makes it less efficient, less stable, and may shorten its life. In fact my main BI machine is a Ryzen 9 5950x, and it was having heat/cooling problems, so in...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    As a footnote, I will say, if for some reason you were allergic to sub streams and wanted to absolutely avoid them, then the best Blue Iris build would likely be a high-end server with 8+ memory channels and one CPU socket with a beast of a single-thread performing server CPU in it (maybe 16...

    Both single and multi core performance are important in different ways. This is an oversimplification, but single core performance roughly determines how well any individual camera will work. Faster single core performance means you can run a camera at higher resolutions and frame rates with...

    The average person is like a deer in headlights when you talk about IP addresses, RTSP, or even drilling holes and running cable. If they can't set it up in 10 minutes from unboxing to watching on their cell phone then it might as well not exist.

    Yup, it is natural for new settings like that to have a default configuration that retains the previous behavior. I didn't know that setting existed before this thread.

    Exporting Issue

    Because the main stream is only recorded while the camera is triggered. You can lengthen the amount of time the main stream is recorded if you adjust your trigger settings in the Trigger tab and buffer/record times in the Record tab.

    Exporting Issue

    Are you using dual streaming (sub stream and main stream)? If so, look at what is selected in the "Stream select" dropdown box in the Convert/export window. My guess is you're only ending up with the main stream, and if you want it to switch between sub and main streams like it does in the...
