Hi, I’m running Blue Iris with 3 cameras (2 fixed PoE external and one internal). I need an additional one to give coverage for the rear of my house, plus I’d like something to help me spot wildlife (mostly nocturnal - foxes & badgers) in our small paddock next to the house. I’m wondering about...

I've just added an indoor camera (Dericam 1080P P2 WiFi) to my Blue Iris setup purely for keeping an eye on our dogs. It's equipped with a mic & speaker for two way audio and I'd like to get that working via Blue Iris. All the standard functionality is working a treat, including hearing audio...

Hi all. I've bought a secondhand PC (4th Gen i5 / 4GB RAM) to run a very modest BI set-up which I expect to end up being no more than 4-5 cameras between 2 & 5M pixels. I already have a WD Purple 2TB for the video recordings, but I want to buy an SSD for the OS / install / DB. I read on here a...
