    NVR to router without a cable?

    And just so YOU know that god made a product called spackle that can be used to fix up a hole in the wall. Not sure why we're yelling YOU but anyway. I'm just trying to tell you that in my experience, a hammer can solve a lot of problems in a much cheaper manner than alternatives with much...

    Suggestions on ethernet cable

    I like the new jacks that you can push the wires completely through the jack then trim after you crimp them. So much easier than the old ones where you had to pre-trim the wires to the proper length. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI9VU2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    NVR to router without a cable?

    Punch a hole through the wall with a screw driver and hammer, jam an ethernet wire through it and be done with the problem.

    Can I make my camera Wireless?

    Is there a reason you can't just run a single ethernet wire (in lieu of power)? Ethernet wire is cheap and with a single run you can get power and data.

    Can I Use My Gaming PC for Blue Iris

    I'd be shocked to find a $100 machine with mouse, keyboard, OS license, HD for storage and monitor for $100. I could be wrong. You could probably swap cables back and forth with a primary rig but it is extra hassle that I don't want to deal with. I'm willing to accept the murphy's law risk...

    Can Chrome Remote be set up so that the server is up and ready to accept connections after a power cycle without any intervention?

    Can I Use My Gaming PC for Blue Iris

    I run BI on a multipurpose machine and it is fine for my needs. Fenderman says terrible, but it works for me.

    downgrade windows 10 to 7 pro

    The hacks I was referring to were about how to get BI to run minimized automatically/unattended after a power outage or other system reboot.

    downgrade windows 10 to 7 pro

    Win7 won't let a service access hardware acceleration. You'd need to implement some hacks to have BI run in the user space and start automatically on reboot.

    BI basic questions vs Dahua NVR

    BI needs to process the video data from the H264 stream in order to detect events. The decoding of the video stream can be done by the CPU or, in the case of Intel QS enabled processors, it can be offloaded to the video processor. This needs to be done regardless of how and what gets saved to...

    Blue Iris UI3

    There is a lot of change simultaneously here with a new installation, nginx reverse proxy etc and not sure where to post but when I access the UI3 pages from the internet on my iphone using the Firefox app, sometimes I get the following error. I don't seem to get this error when using Safari on...

    Blueiris h264 with quicksync vs h265

    I've never seen any equivalency statements such as "hardware acceleration decoding gains the equivalent of x cores of CPU." It would be hard to compare as there are probably multiple factors such as power consumption and raw compute throughput to consider.

    View Blue Iris web server from my desktop PC

    BI does not offer 'full' management through a web interface but it does offer quite a bit of monitoring capability through its build-in web server. In addition to the built-in web server, one of the users here built a much better web interface (UI2) that can be dropped overtop of the built-in...

    Advice for 45 2mp cameras and 18 month video storage on 8700k.

    Do you mind sharing what possible scenario could cause an insurance company to require 18 months of storage? The costs to achieve this is large as you've likely calculated. Not to mention the potential for loss of data due to any number of system failures.

    using blue iris to connect remotely located IP cameras..

    If your local PC is not adequate, I really would suggest buying a refurb machine like the link below. Listed at $479 and I think I've heard around here about extra discount codes that they tweet out. Messing with BI in one location accessing cameras in another location seems like a terrible...

    using blue iris to connect remotely located IP cameras..

    Connectivity aside, that will consume a lot of bandwidth. Are you OK with that? Maybe the easiest way for connectivity would be to open a VPN connection between the two locations which would give you access to the cameras.

    Blue Iris Hardware Recommendations

    Port forwarding to cameras is very risky, port forwarding to fully patched BI server is (I think) much less risky.

    Video card for Win10 VM running in ESXi 6.5?

    In general, using a PCI video card when there is integrated graphics adds potential challenges enabling the QuickSync acceleration. Not impossible but could need some tweaking. If you have integrated graphics, make like easy and just use it. If you are using this as a BI machine, external...

    Blue Iris behind firewall / NAT?

    Without a port-forward rule on the router I can't think of anything other than a service like TeamViewer. Whether you use port-forward or VPN you'd still need a forwarding rule for either.

    Why does buying Dahua seem so sketchy?

    @mat200Don't take this in the wrong way but... I doubt there is 100% compliance on rules for exporting items from china for import into the US for sale **. I'm not sure how First Sale doctrine related to copyright law applies to importation and taxation of physical goods. First-sale doctrine...

    Why does buying Dahua seem so sketchy?

    It seems sketchy because we are all too cheap to procure the legit way. In order to sell product in the USA, you need to legally import product for sale. There is a USA distributor Welcome to DAHUA Technology ! Supply high quality NVR, DVR,Special DVR, Network Camera, HD-SDI Camera etc but...

    Changed ISP, broke cameras in BI

    Log into your new router as admin and take a look at what the new environment looks like. What is the default IP address distribution scheme (ie 192.168.x.y or maybe 10.10.x.y)? Do you see any of your cameras registered with the router as devices?

    why is BI deleting videos constantly?

    In the "Clips and Storage" system settings check what the amount of storage allocated is. I known that in my default install it used a storage limit that was very small. Just increase that to something suitable for your installation.

    I Live In America Should My Camera Be NTSC

    It will only matter if you connect it to an analog monitor and frankly I don't even know if that is possible. Most of us are using digital systems and it doesn't matter. Like I said, I can't even think of any reasons where it would matter which one is used.

    Win7 32bit - Periodic High CPU, but its not BI4

    I should have mentioned... I am running an i7-2600k CPU on a chipset/MoBo that doesn't offer on-board graphics so I don't have the memory leak issue with the graphics driver. I also can't take advantage of HA. There is no intel graphics driver at all.

    WTS Ubiquiti Networks 8-Port UniFi Switch, Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 150W (US-8-150W)

    This PoE switch is a significant step up from the basics. Primarily, it is manageable from the Unifi portal which is awesome if you have a Unifi ecosystem. Specifically to this unit, the SFP fiber backhaul is awesome (if you can use it). For a home network it is likely overkill.
