Choppy video is a result of the underlying jpeg refresh scheme, and is especially noticable if you view with a high latency connection and/or low bandwidth. If you haven't updated Blue Iris recently, there were some very nice web server buffer changes which make it a lot better than before.
There are some alternative ways I could pull video, but none of them are ideal.
Blue Iris can feed me mjpeg streams, which work better on high latency, high bandwidth connections than normal jpeg refreshing. But the underlying technology is still jpeg compression so it isn't "real" video and it is inefficient as heck.
Blue Iris also has the option to pull a couple different formats of "real" video stream, which is what the activex viewer uses. If I wanted to introduce a dependency on a browser plugin, I could make this work similar to the activex viewer, minus the Internet Explorer requirement.
What I'd really like is for Blue Iris to produce one of the html5 video formats. The "raw h.264 stream" output doesn't work, and neither do any of the other documented video formats Blue Iris supports.
Where is this option? Can't seem to find it. I'm sure it is my overlooking it...I also have a dedicated monitor by my bed. That is exactly why UI2 has red filtering options actually; for eye-friendly night displays.

Thanks!UI2 Configuration>HTML5 Canvas
- select the following:
- Enable Canvas
- Enable Video Filter
- Choose a RED predefined script
Well at least you know how broken it will be already lolYup, there is a small chance I will be able to include audio for recordings in the future (not any time soon though). And if it ever happens it may not be well synced with the video, and it will only work when playing forward at 1x speed.
I figured it out - commenting out a few of the divisions in the page's code did the trick....Has anyone made a version of allcams.htm that works like jpegpull2.htm? jpegpull2.htm works embedded on my screens without error, however, I need the top and side bars to never display like in allcams.htm. For some reason, I get no error codes with allcams.htm, but the screen is just solid black...
Hello
I just purchased a PTZ camera and Blue Iris. I am able to view and control the camera on both the generic enclosed software and Blue Iris. The thing I want to do now is view and operate the camera over the internet. I have a website, a DDNS (No-IP), a port forwarded on my router and have looked at jpegpush, jpegpull, jpegpull2, and UI2. I don't know where to start. Could you give me some guidance
Do you have more than 1 camera? I think UI2 only works with 2 or more cameras. If you only have one camera, you may be able to just duplicate that camera in Blue Iris and then UI2 should work.
Can you access your cameras by going to http://your-NoIP-domain:port#/jpegpull.htm ?
Do you have the UI2 files installed into the Blue Iris www folder?
If so, in Blue Iris, go into the user accounts and add ui2.htm as the home page (Blue Iris Options>Users>Edit User). Then you should be able to access UI2 by going to http://your-NoIP-domain:port#/
Hello,
I had this page (SMLPTZWebCam) work flawlessly for almost 10 years. The camera died and I would like to replace it. My goal is something like: ( Aj's Harbor Live Beach Cam ). Could your app with Blue Iris and a PTZ camera provide this? I have not yet purchased either as I need a high degree of confidence it will work before dropping that kind of money (I'm retired and living on SS.) Thank you.
why not just make a web interface that pulls secondary video streams from the cameras themselves?
There used to be an option to show / hide the audio controls in ui2. Now I only see in the "Top Bar" section of UI2 Configuration the option for "Automatically play camera audio", but no option for seeing / hiding the Audio Icons. Am I missing that somehow in the settings somewhere else? On an older installation (but latest version of Blue Iris 4.1.5.2 x64, latest UI2 of 0.17.2) I see the audio icon. But on a brand new system I just setup, I don't see that icon in Firefox, although I can play audio back using the BlueIris ActiveX control just fine in IE11.
It's too hard to search this thread but... is it possible for you to upload your code into Github? That way it is much easier for us to see your changes and be alerted of updates, and some of us can possibly contribute.
Question. Tried a few settings, but not having any luck.
The "all cameras" view is pretty grainy with my 2MP Amcrest cameras, but if I select one of the cameras to view solo it looks perfect. Now on another client of mine I have installed the cameras on, his remote view on "all cameras" looks perfect. Only difference is his are 3MP cameras, but not all are set to full 3MP. Settings are the same on both in the UI2 config.
Any suggestions on how to get my "all cameras" mode looking sharper?
Thanks in advance.
