I'm guessing this is related? On the mobile app, if I press the "lookup key" button on the edit server settings page, I get "Blue Iris | Invalid server response".

After a few tries at different ways over the last months, I've settled on: Using IVS detection on the cameras, limit decoding on the BI camera streams. Full res only, recording 24x7, all BI motion detection turned off. When the Camera causes a motion alert, BI creates an event and saves an...

I’m running on an i5 with 12gb of ram. I think you could use the gpu, but you’ll have to switch to that version of deep stack in the .yml file before you run the docker up command. (It’s easier to use cpu only)

If you only use BI for viewing (no BI motion detection) and use "Direct to disk" with "Limit decoding unless required" it does not use much cpu power until you open a client connection. I think you would have a difficult time using less CPU with a different program and you would be giving up...

I’ve skipped the sub streams completely and have the cameras send a snapshot to my server via FTP (via private lan) for AI analysis. Works amazing and I’m down to 10% cpu (AI temporally spikes it’s to 50%) on an old i5. Recording 8 2mp cameras 24x7 using DD and now can turn on “limit decoding...

@nelie Awesome work!!!!!! This seems to run much smoother on my old i5 testbed than the original AItool. I've completely disabled BI's motion detection and configured my Hikivision cameras to FTP (upload) snapshots to a local directory when they (cameras themselves) detect motion and so I have...

I'm guessing that if you followed the video, you are using "SD'' camera feeds @ 640x480 but with your old motion detection settings of the full resolution image. 292 pixels in a 640x480 image is very large. Try lowering it.

Either the built in, or if using OpenVPN, there’s an “OpenVPN Connect” app which is what I use. Edit: I see you asked specifically for Windows builtin. I use OpenVPN, so I’m not 100% certain the exact setup you’d need. Just stay away from L2TP I think windows has the ability for IPSec which is...

I understand the drivers frustration. Pet owners should not have them if they cannot keep their animals off the road, but complacency in running over domestic animals has no part in our civilized society. Shame on the drivers that think otherwise.

That thread is a good read. Yep, looks like the extra drive may be adding 10w. From a little google fu, a read/write on SSD is around 5w, but they can instantly go idle when they're not working, so would be a bit of a savings. Around here currently that would be about $8/yr. I think a bigger...

Okay - Here goes: System: HP 8300 Elite small form factor - with an i3570 CPU, 2TB hitachi, 4TB WD Purple, Startech.com Gigabit PCI ethernet adapter (2nd NIC). Also powered by the computers USB ports: Logitech usb camera & small 4 port gigabyte switch. I couldn't see a noticeable drop by...

I’ll have a full set of numbers coming soon. Had to stop testing for dinner. Be back in a few...

I’ll try to see if I can get around to hooking the pc by itself to the watt meter in the next few days and post the results. It’s been on my list of things to do for a while, albeit pretty low because the list is long and only ever seems to grow.

Not normally, but if it seems excessive, I’d pin it on the Eaton UPS. It’s an awesome unit, but it’s a bit industrial for this use. Eaton 5PX 3000 VA

Yah sorry, that’s total system. Cameras + poe + computer + (probably not very efficient) Eaton 5px UPS.

I run 8 cameras with that same cpu (12 FPS, 4-4mp, 4-2mp direct to disk, no overlays) on my home BI machine, and it sits right around 25%-30% utilization. Kill-O-Watt shows about 85 watts steady state and goes up to 100w if I'm streaming.

I’ve also seen it where trailing spaces (or spaces anywhere) in a SSID can cause issues. The trailing space thing can really cause you to pull out some hair because it’s hard to see.

I guess step one, I’m assuming you have received permission from the business/owners to use the connections? Step two, I’d use a raspberry pi running a vpn client at each location and have them all tunnel back to your central location. Technically it’s another computer, but they’re very cheap...

Did you actually try internet explorer, or Edge? There’s a difference. If not, or you’re unsure, try typing in “internet explorer” into the start menu search box.

I just looked at mine. It’s a 50va surprisingly. There must have been a sale. I’m lowering my “likeability“ for this camera. It’s under a covered porch and on sunny days, since there’s no blc setting, everything in the foreground is dark. When it’s dark, it’s blown out by its own ir. Basically...

Since we’re digging up posts from 2016, I’ll add that CorrosionX HD seems to work on my RJ-45 connectors (doesn’t cause any transmission/Poe issues), so I plan to put it on all my non environmentally conditioned connections after watching the guys from flight test soak their rc equipment in it...

It’s pretty tough once people start coming at your stuff with tools. I’ve wondered about a couple of the recent modern “minimalist” home builds around me. One has a full one piece glass tilt up garage door and the other looks like a car dealership from all the windows they put in the garage...

It’s not really any less secure than router based other than the fact you’re exposing one more device to WAN than when you do it via router alone. When you run the VPN server on your router, you’re still opening a port. It’s just directly to software on the router, so you aren’t normally...

Yes, if the vpn server isn’t on the router, you’ll have to use port forwarding in order to let the router know where you want data from that port sent to. In this case it’s only going to be the port for the vpn connection. The BI ports or anything else you may have inside your lan are still...

The best option would have been to never buy a router that doesn't support 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato, but you know that now :) Next best is to setup the vpn server on your BI machine...

I just picked one of these up from a local brick and mortar for $149 (RCA Branded). Configuration was pretty fast after scanning this thread for the tricks, and overall I'm happy with it. Here's what worked for me. Most of these are mentioned throughout the thread, but I figured I'd consolidate...

Tone generator will find approximate location of the break if you can get the probe a handful of inches away. I believe they may even make some for cat 5. Check Amazon.

I just ran into this same error with a refurb HP 6700. An OEM clean install is probably the best solution, but on this install it wasn't a good option. (Too Late, too far away). In case someone else runs into this issue, I thought I'd further expand on Mike's post. You'll need to download...

My disk usage/clip storage space issue was resolved after a DB repair. CPU usage is down from 25%-27% to 20%-25% The UI changes feel like change for changes sake (nothing gained), but the slider on the clip viewer is nice.

I just made the version jump on my home machine as I've got a new system to install soon and wanted to learn the new UI for version 5 prior to that. Everything went perfect and version 5 was flawless until I uninstalled version 4 and rebooted. I had to recover my settings from the backup and...
