blue iris

I'm looking to add some external storage to my Blue Iris setup. A couple of options I am considering: https://www.terra-master.com/us/d6-320.html https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB38JBKIT0/#specs Would it make sense to do software raid / Windows Storage Spaces with the disks and go with...

Hello Im confronting the standart blue iris issue - 100% CPU Load My Blueiris is running on a Fujitsu Primergy RX1330 M1 ESXI 8.0 Host with an E3 1220 v3 and 32GB DDR4, OS is Windows Server 2022 - CPU Load is constantly on 95-100% RAM Usage is on 400-500MB Im using 3x Hikvision DS-2CD2383G2...

Hi Been browsing eBay and the hardware guide on this forum for CPU models Just wanted to check if people think the i7-8700k is still a good option with plenty of longevity for 8 x 4k poe cams ? Or is there affordable 9th Gen out? It was last updated around 6 months ago Thinking it'd time to...

We have a motion sensor in the garage that is placed in a bad spot for home automation purposes but ideal for a camera. The motion sensor points toward the garage door and the side door (good for security) but away from where we enter the garage which is what I want to monitor for home...

Greetings. I have a wansview ncm625ga, I tried resetting to factory so I can use it in blue iris but I'm having a hard time finding it on the network, unless it's just dead although all the activity lights are on. Maybe I'm not using the right windows wansview app to pick it up i downloaded from...

Newbie here... I'm looking at installing BlueIris with 10 - 12 POE cameras. I have 3 old pc's to accomplish this. Which one is best, if any? PC 1: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8500 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz; 8GB RAM PC 2: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2904 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical...

I have a current model Reolink doorbell, a Hikvision bullet, and a EzViz PTZ connected and working perfectly with Blue Iris. For some reason I can´t understand, the AI works fine on the Hik and the EzViz but not at all on the Reolink. Surely if BI is seeing the Reolink and handing off triggers...

I want to use a hikvision analog recorder instead of a dedicated analog encoder, specifically for use with blue iris. The usual rtsp:/<user>:<password>@<IP>:8554/Streaming/channels/10<1|2> works. Problem is in BI when you connect over RTSP you loose the option to have a main/sub stream for each...

Is anyone else having problems with the 3D Positioning feature in Blue Iris? Any recommended troubleshooting steps to try? I have the SD5A425XA-HNR from Andy @ EmpireTech and everything works great, when I am using the NVR I can drag a red box around the POI and it will center in on that box...

I am experiencing bad stuttering when trying to view the stream on any one of my cameras (about a 4 second delay in movement and then just a single frame at a time). This is the machine running blue iris: I have 16 Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW...

Hi, I came across some threads that said that BI had been built for Windows 10, but those were from last year. Nowadays, what would be the preferred Windows version? I have free access to Windows 10, 11, Server 2019, and Server 2022. Thanks

So far I don't think it's possible, but just in case: has anyone gotten two-way audio to work with the E1 Zoom (or any of the E1 line) in Blue Iris? It works from the Reolink app, but so far I've gotten nothing out of BI. I've made sure that Reolink is selected instead of Generic ONVIF on the...

I'm shopping for a solution. I'm not sure what the hikvision equivlent is maybe id find better results searching that but has anyone been able to get Ankke NC800 working on reolink nvr. The reolink stuff seems to have really good day quality but i'm looking for a better nightvision solution...

Hi I bought this 16ch 9 camera NVR POE bundle at costco 3.5 years ago. I never installed it due to various life situations including health. I’ve recently just popped open the box and while half way done through the install (my own cat6) I realized the tech probably has improved and i should...

Hi, I'd like to build a powerful rackmount server exclusively for running Blue Iris with AI-detection. I've been following the guide available on the wiki. Below is the parts list I have so far. My goal is to manage a dozen 4K cameras to begin with, but have plenty of room to grow. For...

I am setting BI up with a mixed camera vendor configuration. I am having some issues witrh the ACTi E816 camera: I have the latest version of BI that include ACTi. I can connect to the camera ucint ACTi->Video port 6002, but not using any of the other options including H264 I cannot...

We bought a commercial space that has a lot of ring flood light cams and flood lights all of which detect motion and send a notification. There are also some nice new PTZ cams around the perimeter. Is there anyway to have the PTZ turn toward the zone where the motion was detected from the ring...

Hello, thanks to everyone for being my go to source for info. This board has helped make me quite the amateur professional when it comes to networking. My question is about Ring. There service sucks, however I have a property with 4 wired ring flood lights cams, 3 motion activated lighting...

I'm running BI 5.3.0.3 and not have not touched it for at least 12 months. The Windows box it runs on has been upgraded as when Mircosoft pushed updates and insisted. I can view live on my mobile (a Google Pixel 7) and I can see the thumbnails of the alerts/clips. However, when I click on them...

Hi - I'm currently running BI 4.2.3.5 and it's got about 14 cameras connected directly. The 6 core vCPU is pegged - we gave it 2.0 GHz, apparently that's not enough? So I want to use my existing NVRs and have them stream the video to the BI to offload the stress from the BI VM. I'm hoping I can...

Hello, long time lurker here, have read many, many posts and finally have the budget means and time to slowly set up a proof of concept system. I have tried searching for the particular questions but am having a hard time finding conclusive answers. Current situation: I will be buying a single...

We moving our cameras to a Blue Iris system, and we have a Unifi UVC-G4-PTZ camera we have got streaming over RTSP into the system. Blue Iris has a custom HTTP for controlling the Pan-tilt-zoom in the camera, but I cannot determine the correct commands to get the BI controller to pan the camera...

I am doing home automation (using HomeSeer) and for many actions depend on the light level. For indoor I have plugin light sensors but outside I would have to use wireless sensors. Hence, I was wondering if the cameras could be used as light sensors? I don't think cameras provide any LUX...

Hello, I have a BI cam setup with about 36 cameras on a server 2019. It is hosted on a 4 node cluster (each cluster is dual xeon and 96G ram and 2 10G fiber ethernet), I give BI 64GB ram and 24Cores of xeon at 90%. The BI system works very well and pretty stable, every once and a while get an...

I have a Dahua camera as an LPR. When I was scrolling frame by frame (scroll wheel) through recordings I realized that every 4-6s there would be a 0.8 - 1.2s jump from one frame to the next. As a result I missed license plates. I double checked my camera settings which are 15fps, every 15th...

When we are away I usually use OpenVPN to get into our network and look at the cameras via BlueIris. My wife doesn't like that and she wants an app to access multiple indoor cameras and that allows her to PTZ the cams and have 2-way audio "communication" (with the dog). What might complicate...

I currently have a managed (don't use the managed part) 48-port non-PoE switch (Switch #1) and a 16 port unmanaged PoE switch which is connected to the 48-port switch. All devices including the cameras are on the same subnet. I used to have issues with the cameras being hacked which I was able...

My continuously running pc that I use for Blue-Iris has croaked. There was a power outage here last week so I powered it down before the UPS battery died -- but it now has a definite problem. Apparently the power supply or the motherboard is sick. If I plug it in I can hear a faint "chirping"...

I'm new to BI and IP cams. I bought an EZVIZ db1c doorbell cam and got it set up on BI. Seemed to be working fine, but then randomly I can only see the top left quadrant of the fisheye lens in BI. On the EZVIZ app I can see all 4 quadrants. I saw a thread about this (Camera Gotchas - Blue...

I recently noticed some situations in which it was very obvious that there was a person in the frame and BI does not even get triggered. When I go back and analyze the video with the AI it sees it perfectly. I started looking at the AI analysis details and for the situations where it was an...
