    IPCTDDNS. Is it down, broken, or what?

    I have been using IPCT-DDNS for about 8 months now, and it just works. I'm current on payment for my Silver plan, allowing me 5 ddns server connections. This morning I am unable to connect to either of my two servers. Blue iris tools is open and running on both systems. DDNS /IP is...

    IPCT DDNS questions

    Resolved. I believe everything was set up correctly, but one component, perhaps the router, had other ideas for port 81. Changed both LAN and WAN ports to 91, and everything flowed.

    IPCT DDNS questions

    Okay, I'm a bit fuzzy here. First time using IPCTDDNS. Be gentle. I have a ddns host name set up. xxx.ipctddns.com I have the correct API key in BIT, and it returns the current IP address when tested. I have a port forwarding rule set up on my router. WAN port 101, LOCAL ip...

    Blue Iris remote access wish-list

    Zerotier is likely using a form of Transport Level Security to provide easy connectivity. It's the same protocol used in the other remote connection packages I mentioned above. TLS would almost certainly have to be incorporated to pull this off. decent wiki here. Transport Layer Security...

    Blue Iris remote access wish-list

    Yes, I did that first. Honestly not sure if I submitted to the developer, but I sent to the support email as a suggested feature. It would represent a substantial operational change and undertaking, so I think it unlikely. But loving the software, and having two separate remote connection...

    Blue Iris remote access wish-list

    Just going to toss this out. I have several BI5 servers scattered around different construction sites. It's occasionally hard, and in one case impossible to get DDNS or Static IP services from some rural ISPs. I'm also beta testing Starlink, which at this time has no Static or DDNS...

    Multiple BI servers behind one IP address. How to combine?

    I'll have to try some speed tests to see how much traffic 3 or 4 cams gobble up. Thanks for your input!

    Multiple BI servers behind one IP address. How to combine?

    That looks promising. If I understand, the actual recording still happens at the remote - camera & server location, it just forwards a livestream image. I'll have 150 mbps synchronous connections between my job trailers, I may have to start looking into traffic levels per camera. Do you...

    Multiple BI servers behind one IP address. How to combine?

    Hello all, and thank you in advance for any suggestions. I've been using Blue Iris on different construction sites, and I'm now pretty familiar and happy with it. Generally use 3 or 4 Amcrest IP cameras and record 24-7. (I've found motion alerts to be just too frequent for my purposes). At...

    Emailing scheduled snapshots. How?

    Setting schedule to "trigger" rather then snapshot worked perfectly. Looking back, it makes sense. Before, snapshot made sense. Live and learn. Thnak you for the tip. Kelly

    Emailing scheduled snapshots. How?

    Okay. Three events scheduled, all set to trigger. I'll check it tomorrow, but it seemed like it was something simple I was missing. Thanks much. Kelly

    Here is my BI setup with 30 Hikvision cams

    Okay, I'll watch things for a day and see how it settles out. Already down from high 90s to 20%. Even though that's still quite a bit, I can certainly live with it.

    Here is my BI setup with 30 Hikvision cams

    Yes, wiki was the first place I visited. Completed all tips and suggestions from downgrading drivers to turning off driver updates. Recording direct to disk. Clean install on a freshly reset Windows 10 Pro PC. The only two installed applications are Blue iris and the Amcrest camera...

    Here is my BI setup with 30 Hikvision cams

    Its an Intel Core i%-3470 CPU running at 3.2GHz System has 8 GB of Ram. I'm running 2 (yes two) Amcrest cameras. That said, thank you for asking the right question. The camera resolution settings were both at 2688 X 1520 by default and I was running between 90 and 95% CPU. Your question...

    Here is my BI setup with 30 Hikvision cams

    I am super impressed with the CPU usage. Just started setting up an Intel Core i5 with 8 GB Ram, and I'm at 85 - 90% CPU. That Xeon running 30 cams at 21% CUP is miraculous. Followed all the CPU optimizing tips, but still running hot. Nice work!

    Emailing scheduled snapshots. How?

    Okay, I just can't get my head around the schedule - trigger - alert relationships. First I created a cloned camera. Then set the following. Camera settings -- Schedule. I created three separate scheduled events. 9am 1pm 4pm each with the function "snapshot" Camera settings -- Trigger. Apart...
