    IP cam network separation?

    Yes, exactly. Hardware I do have. My Ruckus ICX 8200 can do all I want and more than I need incl. 25 GBit.

    IP cam network separation?

    Thank you for the picture and the explanation. The point of having a physically separated network is clear to me. I guess my statement regarding VLAN and physical network as equal was misleading. I was referring to my three scenarios a, b and c. THe physical separation brings additional...

    IP cam network separation?

    Thank you. This is what I describe with (a). If they are directly physically connected or via VLAN I consider as the same network connection scenario.

    IP cam network separation?

    For simplicity currently my IP cams are on my "standard network" together with by Blue Iris server and other devices. I want to separate the network of the IP cams but I am not yet sure which direction to go. a) I could put al IP cams in a dedicated VLAN and connect this additionally to the BI...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    You cannot do anything wrong as long you keep your video recording separated for other data storage. If you have a cheep option, go for it.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    I use a SAS3008 HBS controller in combination with SAS HDD as well in my server. But this I do not use for BI. It is used as passthrough device in my TrueNAS server that is running virtualized. For BI a lot of people here recommend HDD that are optimized for continuously recording: Western...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    This portability is the only advantage I see in using passthrough disks.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    For most cases it is a good practice to do so, but not perfect. I backup my BI in this way. For systems running databases or other data with risk for inconsistency the safe way is to shutdown the system first. The alternative is a so called application aware backup where the backup software...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Let me explain in simple words. This is not BI or Proxmox specific. A backup is a full copy stored at a different location (disk, server). This allows a recovery if you system is broken incl. full disk lost. Each backup uses the size of the vm and backup time is slow. (compression and...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    This comment is not only related to BI. PCI passthrough is a more complex topic in the context of virtualisation. It requires the features to be supported by the involved hardware. This makes it difficult to make specific recommendations for your environment. However, since you already have the...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Blue Iris, as a Windows application, runs as well in a VM as on bare metal, provided you're comparing like with like. This means providing the same amount of resources, such as CPU power and RAM. Many are running BI on Proxmox, I am running it on XCP-ng. More complex it gets when you want to...

    BlueIris - file operation when moving recordings?

    Thank you. This is a recommendation what to do. But it does not answer my question what Blue Iris internally is doing. A move command under windows on the same drive would not utilize CPU and disk writes in a noticable way.

    BlueIris - file operation when moving recordings?

    Hello, what windows file operation Blue Iris is using when moving recording to a new folder? My folder for "New" and "Stored" are on the same hard drive. When I use the move command under windows, moving a file only will change the directory entry without need to re-write the complete file...
