    Anyone use this Registry Backup script? (BackupBI5v2.cmd)

    I found this post while searching for information about BI config backup as I wasn't satisfied with the way BI handled it. I wasn't aware of BiUpdateHelper, but now I am and I have it running on my Blue Iris server. Thanks @bp2008 for a very functional and lightweight product that does what it...

    Smallest computer that I could get for BI

    I run an HP EliteDesk 800 G6 Desktop Mini, it uses many of the same internals as its SFF sibling mentioned above, but is smaller still. Dell and Lenovo also have similar offerings. At only 17.7 x 17.5 x 3.4 cm, it's very small, but its 2 limiting factors are thermals (it gets hot in there very...

    Problems deleting clip since changing computers

    Aha, that would be it. Thanks for the heads up . Can you point me to some reading material about Deepstack as I'm really struggling to get my head around it and making it work properly for me?

    Problems deleting clip since changing computers

    Currently running latest stable release v.5.4.4.8 and Deepstack AI (on the same server) Since changing my PC, importing the previous settings and moving my license to the new unit I have mostly been unable to right click on the clips and delete. In nine cases out of ten, I get the error "Could...

    A problem after replacing pc and importing settings.

    I have just replaced a faulty, overheating pc, I exported the BI settings and backed up BI Tools before doing so. After installing BI and BI Tools on the new machine, I imported the settings to BI and then moved the licence across to the new unit. Both the old and machine are running v.5.4.3.12...

    Advice on replacement hardware for my BI set up.

    Thanks for your replies folks. In the end, HP considered the temperature to be too high and offered me a replacement full fat i5 G6 version of this device that I received today. This runs cooler and the CPU load with all camera running is somewhere around 10%.

    Advice on replacement hardware for my BI set up.

    I currently use an HP 800 mini G4 with 8GB RAM, 256GB m2 ssd and i5 8500 processor (6 cores, 3.00GHz base, 4.1GHz turbo, UHD graphics 630, 65w TDP). I have 6x4MP cameras and 1x5MP unit recording at 4/5MP when triggered. Onboard graphics hardware acceleration is used, as is direct to disk h.264/5...

    Upgrade hardware or software first?

    Thank you both for your advice. It all seems to be ticking over nicely now on my new PC :)

    Upgrade hardware or software first?

    I currently have 6 X 5mp cameras running on BI (still on v4) on a Win 10VM hosted on Unraid. The processor is Intel Xeon E3-1230v5 and 4 of the available 8 threads are currently allocated to BI. This processor does not offer Quick Sync, and even if it did, the (Supermicro) motherboard doesn't...

    Font Size In BI. Clip window size went tiny on me.

    Thank you, this helped me today when I discovered my BI misbehaving in the same manner.

    insects

    I've read that applying a strong scented essential oil around the camera can be quite effective and acts as a harmless deterrent rather than a toxic poison. I plan to try this in the next few days by putting some peppermint oil (apparently spiders really don't like that one) on to a small cloth...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I just wanted to share my experience here with the upgrade from BI 4 to 5. I run BI on a Win 10 VM and the New and Stored footage is pointed to a mapped drive on the host server. The database is on the default C: drive location, but this is synced to the server. Everything went fine until I...
