    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    As another troubleshooting step you could try swapping the video codec (h.264 vs h.265) or lowering the main stream resolution, to see if maybe Blue Iris just had a decoding bug only affecting some streams.

    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    I run several FCD600 and they are all fine. If hardware acceleration is enabled in Blue Iris, turn that off. In Blue Iris Status > Cameras, you should have hyphens under the HA column.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Phones have file browser apps too, they just are not in-your-face as much as on windows/mac/linux, and the average phone user may never need to use it. Anyway you can use UI3's local overrides system to add anything you want to UI3, including changing the default settings. Read this: UI3 Help...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I've been saying for years they should make an IP cam with a very high resolution sensor and good lens like you would find in a $300-$1000 handheld camera. Or a DSLR like a professional photographer would use. Doesn't matter if they can't do the sensor justice will full motion video. Because...

    Looks like 10gig is becoming increasingly affordable

    I started using 10 Gbps for the backbone of my LAN in 2019. The affordability was pretty great even then. You just had to do a little research into what to buy on ebay. I was getting used Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards for around $21-26 each. These each offered one SFP+ (10 Gbps) port. SFP+...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    That quote is really more opinion than fact. It is a fact that a "4K" camera has at least 20x more pixels than a typical old analog camera. It is an opinion that having all those pixels makes longer focal lengths worthless. It has been shown many, many times on this forum how longer focal...

    Locking down U13

    Yes, those are the best existing resources for demonstrating how to use ui3's local overrides system.

    Locking down U13

    There is no documentation of how to hide other elements but it is extremely straightforward with even the most basic web development skills. An AI chat bot may be able to help you. To get you started, ui3-local-overrides.css can be given this rule to hide the playback settings button...

    Locking down U13

    You could hide or disable just about anything you want via ui3-local-overrides.js and/or ui3-local-overrides.css files.

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    I recommend at least 8 GB RAM. And use wired Ethernet, not wireless. Also that mini PC will require you to optimize CPU usage carefully.

    NVR with 32TB HD's need 120 days

    I think the i-frame interval setting is inapplicable when H265+ is enabled, so the field gets disabled or hidden. In that case, don't worry about i-frame interval. How many of what size hard drives do you have? Do you need to record continuously (24/7), or is recording on motion detection...

    NVR with 32TB HD's need 120 days

    Constant bit rate is more predictable. Variable bit rate is allowed to go below the configured limit to extend the retention time in a way you will not be able to predict as well. H.265+ is probably the best option you have for maximizing the image quality at a given bit rate. If you have one...

    V6 Keeps Closing/Crashing

    Blue Iris is not super stable to begin with (although it depends very much on your individual configuration and hardware). It is best to run Blue Iris as a service so it restarts automatically if it crashes. See Blue Iris Settings > Startup.

    Linux Users - What is your favorite distribution and why?

    You know it is funny. I'm a professional software developer who is pretty deeply entrenched in Microsoft technologies (.NET, SQL Server, Windows Server, etc) and it feels like they (Microsoft) has been going out of their way to make it easier for us to move our server stuff onto Linux and...
