Unsure of the specifics within Hoobs as I have never used it. As you've said, UI3 as an interface cannot be a RTSP stream, but you can stream both individual cams and groups. Page 260 of the BI Manual. Streaming a group will not have the same interactivity like you get with UI3, whereby...

You can do this using Home Assistant their HomeKit bridge integration. You can then pass almost any home assistant device/entity to HomeKit. Might be a full-fat approach to just passing BI to HomeKit, but Home Assistant is fun to play with...

Technically you can upgrade UI3 to the latest version separately from BI however, as you are running a 2021 version of BI, you may run into compatibility issues. GitHub - bp2008/ui3: A powerful, modern HTML5 web interface for Blue Iris. My recommendation would be to update to the latest stable...

5% is better than I expected so looks like you are good to go. Teamviewer is a cpu hog and I do not use it. Try NoMachine for remote access. Very lightweight (usually less than 1% CPU) and I've never had an issue with it. I think those UI3 stats were introduced in a relatively recent update...

Looks like you are on the right track! Note that my ~10% usage is when no cam is detecting any motion and if all cams are triggered and CPAI is analysing it could jump to 100%. I'm running as a service with no console on the BI server. Windows 10 UI3 version 266, Blue Iris version: 5.8.5.8...

A 6500 system with a few cams is more than capable and if following the various guides on optimisation/sub-streams, I reckon you should be targeting circa 10% cpu usage. I've got a 6500 system running with double the amount of cams, all recording 24/7 + CPAI triggers and hums along at 12% ish...

I don't know of any built-in mqtt control over profiles but it can be done with a http request: http://blueirisip/admin?profile=1&lock=1&user=USER&pw=PASSWORD lock = 1 will hold the profile until you change it again.

Update: No errors since installing UI3-264. Will keep monitoring - Thank you!

Got this to work from Chris Maunders reply on CPAI discussions. In my case I was attempting to MESH with a docker container on my server. You have to specify the docker host machine name in the appsettings.json. Reposting his instructions here:

Does anyone know how to manually set the localhost in 2.4.6? (for meshing)

Group clone clips is for filtering clips and so won't work if no recording is set. Though I do agree that it would be a great feature/idea where an alert on a cloned cam could flag the position in the DB for the main cam or 'clone master'. Would only work correctly if you are recording 24/7 I...

If you are simply wanting convenient alerts from your cams / blue iris, I see no need to use pushover / home assistant. I would definitely get better access set up rather than port forwarding. VPN is one option, setting up a reverse proxy is another (such as nginx or BP2008's own flavour...

Will install now and update on my findings. Will try and see if I can identify a pattern into what triggers the error, aside from time. Thanks for the continued support!

I keep getting this error popup on iPad. I've attempted to narrow down whats causing it but haven't found anything specific. Using WebCodecs. It never displays the error when loading the page, only when it has been displaying cams for some time. Pressing ok refreshes the stream and continues...

You're overthinking it - drop cables down internal wall, drill through external leaf. I'd be tempted to run secondary cables down for internal network points at the same locations. This would then define 'zones' where the cables have been dropped so it's then clear that there are cables behind...

why are you trying to use livestream.htm? I use ui3 with url parameters to display groups on various devices. You can change the authentication settings in your BI console to only authenticate non-lan connections. Something like this would then open a specific group, full screen...

Strange.. Does the AI result display correctly in the BI console under confirmed alerts?

Your alert looks correct &MEMO detected on Driveway at %X Gives me: What is not working with your alert?

Welcome, Danilo!

Hi Tom, Have you checked any logs on that TP-Link switch in the basement? Might help you narrow down the issue. Only time I've experienced similar is where the switches power supply begins to fail. Off hand that switch uses an external power supply so you could try another power supply and see...

If not submersed, IP66 will be suitable for most applications, including rain and snow.

Thanks for those changes - and WebCodecs support! The JS player was previously the best but resource intensive. If I wasn't getting out of memory errors, it would be draining iPad batteries even when they were on charge. Will keep monitoring battery life using web codecs but so far it's looking...

Yes the HTML5 player does work - most of the time. But with much higher player delays. Admittedly my testing with the HTML5 player has been limited, but sometimes when changing to single streams from groups (or auto-maximise) it would freeze and not resume until tapping out of the single stream...

Running BI 5.8.0.8 / UI3 v254 / iPads iOS17 WebCodecs is by far the best/performant I've ever previously been able to configure. Before I was defaulting to the JS player which was more reliable than the HTML5 player and didn't tend to delay as much. D2W turned on for single cam views / groups...

Difficult to find thin 24" touchscreens that fit relatively flush to the wall. Illyama, ELO, Viewsonic, Hannspree do basic touchscreens at various sizes and are good 'bang for your buck'. Use a slim mount such as: https://www.avpartsmaster.co.uk/peerless-pf632-flat-panel-wall-mount For a more...

Take a look at the Alexa skill: Voice Monkey. Enables you to trigger an announcement notification via an http request. You can also trigger routines and other various functions too.

Seconded on the advice to learn BI or similar - will you give you a lot of flexibility when routing cam feeds, groups etc. I understand why this might be daunting at first. Another suggestion for your HDMI routing is to use an HDMI over IP solution such as Best AV over IP Solution for Your Home...

Additional hack suggestion: Wrap your iframe in another card (e.g stack-in-card) and then set overflow:hidden to the stack-in-card. Then apply negative margin-bottom to your iframe-card. Could even set the margin as a variable that you could then control with a toggle switch, automation etc...

In UI3, whilst playing back the recording - right click > Stats for nerds and see what delays you are getting. Can then have a better idea of if it's network or hardware/software. Good idea to check on a different device, logged into the same BI account and see if you are still getting low fps...

I don't have any memory issues between LAN/WAN access. Only difference I've seen in differing utilisation is where video encoder profiles for WAN are set incorrectly and/or too high (bitrate/quality etc). To make things equal, if they are not already, is to match Video Encoder Profiles for both...
