    Thief steals bicycle from neighbor's garage

    Thief abandons one bicycle, and then enters neighbor's garage, and steals one of their bicycles. I gave the videos and a bunch of still captures to the neighbor, and she gave it all to the cops. As I had hoped, they immediately recognized the guy (apparently, they deal with him at least once...

    Time lapse of recent snowstorm here.

    This is just a time lapse I made using Blue Iris from one of our cams. This is 24 hours shown at 1000X speed. We got 26 inches of heavy wet snow in this one storm. It brought the nearest Snotel station, up on the nearby mountain, up from extremely low with respect to average snow water...

    Need three more PCs

    I'm looking for three more PCs. One for a Blue Iris installation for my mother's house. This will probably be 8 cameras to start, but could be expanded as needed. Two will be for use as actual desktop PCs for general use. Some Corel Draw, some Photo editing, CAD, things like that. No...

    Car versus Pickup Truck

    I caught this earlier this month on four different cameras, right in front of my house. A car pulls out from the curb directly into the side of a passing pickup truck. Some folks were doing a bit of concrete work on the across the street neighbors' driveway. One of the guys had his car parked...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    OK. I'm probably to blame for this, but: I have been running BI4 for a few years. It's worked fine, so even though I paid the extra to extend my "maintenance" or whatever it's called, so I could upgrade to 5, I haven't gotten around to doing it. Summer is the busy season where I work, and...

    House explodes

    I'm not sure if it's kosher to post a link to a FB post or not, but here goes: This is not my video. But someone got some security camera footage of this house exploding earlier today not too far from my place. I'm not sure what sort of camera system the poster used. I live a little over a...

    I want a "sort of new" laptop.

    Feel free to smack me if this is too far out of line for this forum, but: I sometimes need a laptop. To surf, shop, do minor CAD, and especially to interface with PLCs, instruments, VFDs, etc., to make adjustments or update their programs and such in the field. This is Not for running BI. :)...

    Entertaining couple of days at work.

    Tuesday: Lightning strikes the power lines on a pole right at the edge of our water plant's property. This takes out one fuse and one lightning arrestor at the pole, cutting one phase of the high voltage feeding the primaries of the transformer banks that feed both the plant and our "settled...

    Deer munching on a small tree. Poor tree!

    This is the first time I've posted a cam cap to this forum, the first time I've tried to export and edit cam videos, and my first time using this video editor. Be gentle! We get deer quite often, and they've ruined a formerly nice hedge, a number of trees, etc. Here's how! :) I exported...

    Feed BI with video from another PC

    I know you can buy encoders that convert HDMI or other video feeds into H.264 or H.265, but I was wondering if anyone knew of software, to run on a PC, that would take the video being shown on that PC, and do the encoding, and then potentially feed it to the local network where it could be...
