    New migration PC, need help with folders "new" and "storage"

    You can always export each camera settings individually. Install a fresh BI, import all the cameras and then you only need to set up the system options. Would save all the time of setting up cameras but still have a fresh (stock) system to start from.

    Record twice a day on specific times

    Ok, so use the Camera Specific Schedules for the 2 cameras instead of the Global Schedule. - Best option IMO The reason I think profiles might be better is the Event Record start/stop is a toggle and I don't know how to make sure the recording is off (since you will be using motion) prior to...

    Record twice a day on specific times

    Set it up for normal record on motion. For the specific time recording use the Event Schedule on the Camera Properties Schedule tab. You could use Record Start/Stop or Trigger. For the snapshot use the Post tab in Camera Properties. OR Have 2 profiles, one record on motion and the other...

    Opinion: Continuous vs. Motion Trigger Recording?

    I do similar in Blue Iris. All cameras are cloned. Both are motion triggered. One set is set very sensitive and records on the smallest movement with longer trigger (read recording) times. The other set is set up for alerts with zone crossing and tuned for minimum false alerts and shorted...

    Settings for sun/clouds?

    Zone crossing is your friend. Experiment, you'll get it. It does take some time.

    H.264 encoding on Dahua/Hikvision/Blue Iris vs Unifi

    Buy two Dahuas for every one Unifi you could have a 50% failure rate and still be even money. Plus you have a much better product. I have 7 Dahuas from Andy and have had zero failures in almost 2 years. I think I'm way ahead. Unifi, at double money, makes no sense.

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    I recommend the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS camera. ~$132 from Andy at Empire Tech. They do everything on your list although the zoom is varifocal and not really meant for a lot of zoom in/out but it does work if not needed too often. Use $60 Blue Iris with $10 phone app on a $150 PC and your 5 camera...

    Blue Iris Configuration - Is this possible ?

    Put all cameras in a group then enable trigger camera groups and select the group. Make all cameras break time 600 seconds to record for the 10 min.

    In mobile devices I have two phone entries, both are checked for push. (Neither work) Options/Web Server/Advanced Send Rich Push is not checked. Blueiris.exe is allowed through firewall. Camera/Alerts/Push is setup per profile for push notification. Under Configure when I test it reports "Test...

    How come my zone crossing doesn't trigger when a vehicle crosses?

    I have a different take. If you look at the first picture the windshield is totally in the lower zone. The software doesn't know the windshield is part of the car which is in both zones. When the dark colored windshield passes into an adjacent zone it should trigger. Also, I'm not a fan of...
