    Besides the obvious "out of my price range", "already have too many cameras", etc answers, why would you not buy Lorex E891AB? For my case/scenario it is a perfect fit, but I am looking for a reason not to buy couple of them. Assuming they would fit your needs and case/scenario, why would you...

    LPR with HDView IP-5IR4080MZ-922

Camera is setup on a warehouse wall with car traffic passing about 110ft from the camera. Angle to the passing cars and license plates should be around 30-35 degrees. The distance can be...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    Got Geovision GV-FER12203 360 FishEye camera to test and so far it does not play well with blueiris. Main stream 4000x3000 with any bitrate when added to blue iris keeps dropping connections every couple seconds or sometimes looses connection for hours. Sub-stream works no problem. Already...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    Over the holidays something has happened with BlueIris computer and CPU usage sky-rocketed. After couple hours of looking at resource usage the only thing I found was memory usage close to 8GB. At the same time frame rate on all cameras dropped to 1-3 with immense lag. Note that at this time...

    Picking camera for an apartment

    Moved to apartments recently and have been concerned about car parked outside. Lucky for me two windows are facing the parking lot where our car is. It is three level building and we are on second floor. Lighting on parking lot is fairly decent which would probably have to be the only source of...

    Why does camera FPS in blueiris increases past camera's FPS?

    I am completely out of ideas why camera FPS in blue iris increases 30-50% past FPS set in camera settings. This happens on a range of different cameras, whose settings are set to constant FPS, be it 15FPS on older cameras or 25FPS on newer ones. Key frame interval on each camera is set to...

    How to handle DST changes on multiple cameras?

    I can't seem to find a solution for automatic DST changes on all of the cameras. Cameras are configured to use NTP server for time synchronization, but DST settings vary from camera to camera and need to be adjusted manually. What is a good solution to handle this?

    One camera is not being shown in blue iris admin console

    After installing an update 4.5.9.3 (or the one before it) one of the cameras is not being shown in blue iris admin console. It does show up in web and mobile interfaces, and it even records video and events like it should. However, I does not show up in admin console. This happened right after...

    Does blue iris have hidden batch camera configuration?

    I was not able to find this option anywhere, but sure would love it if someone points it out to me. Of-course if such feature exists. The reason I am asking for such feature is because I just had to reconfigure multiple settings on 20 cameras and it took a little over an hour, which could have...

    What hardware should I be looking at for 24 3MP cameras recording 24/7?

    Current system specs are as follows: Intel I7-4770 8GB of RAM 4TB HDD As of now the system is recording video 24/7 from 16 3MP cameras (2048x1536@20FPS) and 3 1.3MP (1280x1024@30FPS) on 4TB harddrive and just over-writes the footage. There is no motion detection going on whatsoever, and...

    Oversized packets detected on network when BlueIris is running

    Has anyone noticed that switches report oversize packets on ports that BI servers are connected to? Doesn't matter if running as a service or not. If it is not running as a service then as long as admin console is open then oversize packet count is still increasing. My network MTU is configured...

    How good is multi-core support?

    How well is BlueIris optimized for machines with a hefty amount of cores? I have been thinking about grabbing a "spare" machine (dual-socket 8 core) for a remote office that will run 24 cameras (3mp, direct2disk) along with some windows services, but wonder how well BI will scale. Perhaps it may...
