    APC backup power supply questions…

    APC (now Schneider) customer service is also good. I had a UPS start beeping at 2 years, so they sent me another battery free. That didn't fix it, so they sent another APC UPS (same 1500M), also free, which did fix it, and now I have a second battery to rotate in. I power all my computer stuff...

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    @MikeLud1, is there a reason that IPCam-Combined is not in the AiModelPack download?

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    for most cams I use IVS and Onvif as the trigger source in BI. If I want to use the AI models to confirm, will it do that with just Onvif selected or do I have to add (or replace) with BI's "Enable Motion Sensor "as trigger?

    Year 2026 - What's the sweet spot these days for a used eBay computer for Blue Iris

    Keep in mind that you likely can update your machine to Win11 if desired with Rufus .... I did it on mine easily (i7-6700 Optiplex7040)

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    can I get weather in BIT without having a personal weather station? I tried to get a WU api key but after creating an account it says I need to buy and install a weather station to get a key to put into BIT... otherwise it always says "error connecting to wunderground..."

    HDD recommendation

    Thanks, yes, I did see the newer Elitedesk pc's had only one drive bay. I haven't had issues with one purple drive yet, just thinking ahead if I add more cams than the 12 I have now:) I run 15 fps now, mostly continuous substream until triggers. I figured splitting the cams to two HDD was a good...

    HDD recommendation

    Thanks Flintstone61, I think the combo of lack of connectors, space, cooling, and maybe power makes having two 3.5 drives (and the SSD) unlikely in the Optiplex SFF (there was no cd/dvd) . I was hoping someone had successfully done it and could offer ideas, but it seems no. I'll live with the...

    HDD recommendation

    not to hijack (ok, maybe a little) but how could I add a second HDD to a Blue Iris OptiPlex 7040 SFF machine? It already has a 2.5 ssd, and one 3.5 WD Purple. Any way to add a second 3.5 Purple? I assume not inside..???

    i tried that, but the option to select additional models is grayed out for me... seems like either Yolov8 OR IPcam-combined.... not both? or would you use only the IPcam-combined instead?
