    Lovely Neighbor

    I had the same impression: he was going a bit fast, but it also looked like: He had plenty time so slow down or stop The guy backing out checked for traffic, did not see any, started backing out, and then the SUV came into sight aftet the guy backing out was committed.

    Hik HES324-WDA and IP Cam Viewer?

    I have a Hikvision HES324-WDA, AKA "DS-2CD2543GO-IS" that seems to work under Blue Iris using the "DS-2CDxxxx RTSP" Driver (or whatever the term-of-art is). But on my Android phone the "IP Cam Viewer" does not offer up such a generic driver but, instead offers only specific ones like "Hikvision...

    Chromcast setup??

    My takeaway so far is that something needs to be done on my BI Server, but NOT on the cams or the Android device. Have I got that part right? Either way, has anybody gotten the BI Android app to do ChromeCast yet?

    Have Vista (32-bit) machine: is it worth installing Windows 10?

    Neighbor gave me a 10-year-old gaming box (Dell XPS 2 Duo CPU [email protected]), which seems reasonably quick in spite of it's age. Thinking about moving BI from my regular desktop (I-7) PC to the Dell and making the Dell a dedicated BI box - running headless in my LAN closet. But, of course...

    HikVision 5.0+: Fatally flawed if used w/port forwarding?

    I come away from reading various "Locked Out" threads with the impression that, if the port to the cam's Setup page is forwarded on my router, anybody can take any of my cams out of service just by attempting 5 logins to Admin. One of my cams is inop right now and that seems to be the case...

    BI: Ballparking Web UI Bandwidth ?

    OK, I downloaded the 4.7.2.1 upgrade and applied it to my home system. Now I see Blue Iris Options | Web server | Advanced | Content | Encoder profiles | Streaming 0 | Configure | Rate control | Limit bitrate (best for streaming | Max bitrate (kbps): 1024 I am guessing that is 1024 kbps total...

    BI: Ballparking Web UI Bandwidth ?

    I guess I had better think about updating then - because my version has no "Profile Selection" tab on Blue Iris Options and nothing about profile in the Web server tab. But updating this site is not trivial - it will involve 180 miles of driving because of ongoing ComCast connectivity issues...

    BI: Ballparking Web UI Bandwidth ?

    I must be running an older version of BI (4.4.0.1 x64)) because there is no "Advanced" tab on either the Blue Iris Options dialog or on the Blue Iris Options | Web server tab.

    BI: Ballparking Web UI Bandwidth ?

    Any idea where that is? I am not seeing it in Blue Iris Options | Web server

    BI: Ballparking Web UI Bandwidth ?

    4 cams, each running at 1280 x 720, max FPS. Can anybody ballpark the per-remote-user bandwith for viewing the cams via the BI web interface? The backstory is that these cams watch a windsurfing site so that users can view the web interface to see how conditions are instead of calling the...

    Blue Iris - two locations

    I became averse to Dahua a long time age when the pair of Dahua cams I bought turned ou to have some sort of non-standard setup procedure. Cannot recall the details and, since it has been a long time, maybe they have seen the light setup-wise by now. My preferred cams are the el-cheapo...

    Blue Iris - two locations

    Yeah - I should have included that.... and it is NOT just a trivial advantage - at least where I live.

    Blue Iris - two locations

    This is a day late and a dollar short, but I would point out the superiority of turret-style cams over bullet-style cams....same innards, but vastly more durable.

    What do you use for Blue Iris server remote access

    How does Chrome stack up against TeamViewer? I am hard-core TeamViewer, but a little paranoid about TV's business plan: I can't afford their commercial license, they do not seem to have a "Home Use" license, they have flagged me once already as a suspected commercial user.... and I would like...
