    Anyone running Blue Iris on a mini pc? What HDD are you using?

    Yah I was wondering if there are survelliance drives but I guess not. SSD are cheap enough for a couple hundred bucks if it last 3 years that's fine. My plan is exactly as yours, I too hvae a Synology NAS, the plan is to move the 6TB HDD to the NAS and create a storage pool out of it for BI. If...

    Anyone running Blue Iris on a mini pc? What HDD are you using?

    My original plan was to do an mITX build with an i5 13600 hoping to ditch the power hungry GPU but I had the MiniPC sitting around so I decided to test it first w/o spending a bunch of money, so far in the last 24 hours it's been pretty solid. I'm going to let it do its thing for a week before...

    Anyone running Blue Iris on a mini pc? What HDD are you using?

    In effort to reduce electricity cost I moved blue iris from the PC with an i7 6700 and 32gb of RAM to a mini PC with an i7-1360p, 32gb ram. To my surpise without a GPU the CPU is only running at 6% idle and never saw it went past 40% even with AI detection while, the PC with a GTX1650 handling...

    Blue iris all of a sudden using 100% CPU

    Mine doesn't auto update but I'm always tempted to try new things. I'll have to do better at reading release notes to see if it's worth updating moving foward

    Blue iris all of a sudden using 100% CPU

    6.0.1.26 was the culprit. Upgraded to .27 and back down to 17% usage.

    Blue iris all of a sudden using 100% CPU

    I recently noticed that BI is using 100% of the CPU and often crashes the whole PC. I have not made any changes to the system itself aside from updating as updates come in. I do have Home assistant pulling streams from the webserver but even with home assistant off, it doesn't drop the CPU...

    Any reason to still have 3rd party AI now that BI have it built in?

    I'm currently using CodeProject and it's been working great. Now that BI 6 have AI built in, is it better to use CodeProject or just use the built in AI?

    Couple questions about LPR cameras

    Thanks for the all the info! This really helps, Since the tree is right at the street level, keeping it up higher helps with drawing attention away and makes my neighbors more comfortable when they're walking their dogs. At the position I'm thinking of mounting it, I'm estimating 30-70 feet...

    Couple questions about LPR cameras

    So I just watch/read that LPR camera should be mounted low? I have this tree at the front lawn (tree to the right of photo) that I'm thinking about adding a couple cameras to capture license plates and cars going up and down the street. Problem is if I mounted it low, cars parking on the street...

    Power efficient options for blue iris and AI?

    My BI PC for the longest time is an i7 6700 with 32gb of ram, running a single SSD and an 8tb HDD and a GTX 1650 for CP AI. Decided to stick a killawatt meter to it to see what it's using and to my surprise, it's averaging 120w at idle. I believe the GPU is the biggest contributor to the draw...

    AI tab under trigger missing

    I just had to setup two additional cameras and realized that I don't have the AI tab under trigger on any of the cameras. Ai trigger is working fine on the old cameras. Only thing is that I can think of is that I haven't had a subscription since May.

    Thanks jay, I found the issue. the source of the alert image was changed when I was troubleshooting it. Double checking and configuring the storage drive letter to match across the board fixed the issue. What threw me off is when you click on test alert it doesn't trigger but I remember...
