I want to thank @Ssayer for helping me with my setup. Shout out to @bp2008 for creating UI3 - Check out more info on ui3 if you are not familiar: Blue Iris UI3 Pi 4 came out now too: https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-2019-Quad-Bluetooth/dp/B07TD42S27 Case for Pi 4: https://www.amazon.com/GeeekPi-Acrylic-Raspberry-Cooling-Heatsinks/dp/B07TXSQ47L The Raspbery Pi 3: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BC6WH7V I went with B+ as it is a bit faster. This kit also has the adapter that comes with an on/off button Micro SD Card to load the Raspbian OS: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WR4IJBE I went with this case that had 3 heatsinks included and a very quiet fan that helped with heat: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C6CFL2B You can use any HDMI. You can go with this Pi kit that has the HDMI/Power Adapter/Case/Pi/Micro SD card all in one - (this kit doesn't have bottom heatsink or fan but are cheaply found on amazon): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BCC8PK7 Steps to install: Download the OS: I went with "Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software" Download Raspbian for Raspberry Pi Download balenaEtcher Portable (or full version) to flash Raspbian Software onto Micro SD Card: balenaEtcher - Home There are many DIYs on how to do this online but it is very easy. --No need to install xscreensaver - only leaving this up as an option-- I suggest installing xscreensaver to remove the Pi screensaver. Simply go into the Raspberrypi command line and type: sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver will be installed in Menu -> Preferences -> Screensaver On drop down menu select disable screen saver: -- -Raspberry has an audio port so you can use to plug in speakers to get alerts from your UI3. Just make sure you click the Speaker Icon and choose analog: -If your monitor has speakers you can use those too just keep speaker setting on HDMI I hope this helps. This is just a newbie basic setup to help save some people time when first looking at this option.
