    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    All 3 cameras are v3 hardware, running 4.36.16.7064. Multiple cameras restarts required, so keep trying! And/or put Claude AI on the case to troubleshoot.

    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    And Audio must be enabled in the camera settings. Per Claude: I now have 3 of these working at 2 different locations.

    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    I finally got it working. This required: Turning off RTSPS in the v3 camera: BlueIris doesn't support RTSPS, and Claude reports that Wyze's RTSPS implementation is broken anyway. I couldn't even connect via VLC. And Ken says RTSPS support is not currently high on his priority list. When you...

    Owl Harasses Coyotes 07/24/26 I haven't seen the owls do this in awhile. Can anyone do a species ID for me?

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Who adjusted the aim on my camera? I set up an IP camera to make a long time-lapse of my grape vine growing up my trellis. A few days ago I noticed that the angle had changed, which is weird because the camera is tucked up under my eaves, in an area where nobody goes. Well, maybe not nobody.

    She was supervising! It's a very important job. But she contributed significantly effort at the end; it was really hard to pull uphill, even on that gentle slope. We were both sweating by the time we were finished.

    Max towing speed on that splitter is 45 mph, and it was an hour away by freeway. But yes, for local service visits &c, I can tow it. Now I just have to get a hitch installed on my own car.

    Unloading this 525 lb. log splitter was an adventure! No one could have predicted how this would end, well, except everyone :rofl: Don't ever ask me to engineer a ramp, nor design an unloading procedure

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    First (and only?) coyote pup of 2026: I normally see pups earlier, and usually a litter of 3-5, and once as many as 7. So maybe they're having a tough year, or maybe she's been taking them on a different route.

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    It's available again, for $505, which is actually quite reasonable given today's RAM prices. This makes an excellent BI machine, out of the box, without any additional upgrades other than storage.

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I think I'm starting to see the light on this approach. At work I found myself with a need to host a public-facing web server from an on-prem machine, which scares the bejeezus out of me, based on my latest experience with port-forwarding. Then I realized that I could spin up a VM on a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmm. Did something change in this recently? I scaled everything the way I want and turned off Fit to Viewport, and it looks correct in Timeline if I'm current/live: but if I go back in time even one tick, I get these small black areas between the cameras: if I go forwards to Live, then the...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I'm running 28+ cameras on a cheap refurb PC that I got off of amazon for $372 a year ago (costs more now), and it's been zero hassles. I migrated from an even cheaper PC that had been running BI for 4 years, and migration was as easy as moving over the config file. My storage space is a JBOD...
