    IPV6 troubles

    If you are doing this remote access just for yourself of devices you control, then you should honestly discard the whole IPv6 experiment and sign up for Tailscale free plan. Install Tailscale on the Blue Iris computer and on your phone and other devices you want to remote connect from. In...

    IPV6 troubles

    Are you saying the http URL in a web browser works with wifi off? Or does not work? The Blue Iris mobile app's ipv6 support is a totally unknown factor for me. All I can say is if you did the firewall rules all correctly then it will work in a web browser and then it SHOULD work in the Blue...

    IPV6 troubles

    I also don't know if Blue Iris's remote access test wizard supports IPv6 testing. I never use that wizard.

    IPV6 troubles

    By the way the exact same IPv6 address or URL should work both INSIDE your LAN and outside from the internet/cellular connection. So if it works on LAN but not through internet then you know the issue is with your router or ISP.

    IPV6 troubles

    Ok the screenshots don't really show everything I'd need to know to verify correct setup. Windows machines typically have many IPv6 addresses and many of them are temporary, e.g. here one day and gone the next. So if possible, use DHCPv6 in the router to reserve and assign a specific address...

    DHI-TPC-SD2241-T – Heat AI mode fire and flame detection filters do not stay enabled

    I remember them having strange issues with web browser compatibility before which caused certain settings to not be saved related to PTZ autotracking. Try with another web browser (Chrome / Firefox) or Pale Moon 32 bit edition (Pale Moon has an older code base, based on Firefox, and 32 bit...

    BI suddenly showing "Disabled"

    Yeah, remember when the all cameras pause button did not require a long press? Hell even after it started requiring a long press sometimes people hit it by accident. I wonder if there was a hotkey for it too. And back in the day you could drag a camera into a desktop frame that disappears...

    BI suddenly showing "Disabled"

    Yup on the General tab of the camera settings, there is a checkbox "Enabled" and also when you right click a camera, near the top of the context menu is an "Enable" or "Disable" button.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    Real on-camera digital zoom is better than if it is only implemented in the video player alone. I wonder if that is what the Amcrest are doing. When digital zoom is done within the camera before video compression, you avoid basically all loss of detail from compression artifacts.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    We used to have one of the old first-generation Ubiquiti Aircam in there because it was trivially easy to remove the front cover, unscrew the lens, and swap the lens with any focal length you wanted, even with IR support (which that camera didn't natively have). I forget what format of lens it...

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    Just trying to read the dials with confidence in all lighting conditions. I'm not sure if the little one by itself to the far right is relevant. This one looks possibly promising at $80 from Annke directly. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/annke-wz520-ptz.80933/ Sounds like the Blue Iris...

    Internal AI Causing Massive CPU/Memory Usage?

    I don't use AI with Blue Iris (yet..) but I recall there was an issue where Blue Iris had a way-too-high default for the number of AI instances it was running. I think this is "max connects" in Blue Iris Settings > AI tab. It should be set to something like 4 or less...

    For reference this is the existing view, the old Dahua 2MP varifocal at max optical zoom. You can see it is marginal at best for reading these gauges.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    I'm looking for as cheap as possible of camera to watch a small panel of analog gauges on industrial equipment, indoors. It needs to meet these criteria: Able to zoom to 20 degree horizontal FOV or narrower. More zoom is very welcome. RTSP video streaming 1080p or higher resolution (unless...

    Will Blue Iris for Mobile work with Android 7.1 (Nougat)?

    Since that is PoE powered I assume that means it is not reliant on WiFi for networking, which is great. I expect UI3 will run perfectly with a 1080p stream and you could even edit the streaming profile to increase the quality and bit rate since it is a little low by default. Something like...

    Will Blue Iris for Mobile work with Android 7.1 (Nougat)?

    Also every version of UI3 ever released is available to download on github so you can extract an older copy and load it forever if that ever becomes necessary. Blue Iris is pretty good about maintaining backwards compatibility so that older apps and integrations don't get broken.

    Will Blue Iris for Mobile work with Android 7.1 (Nougat)?

    It is a near certainty that UI3 will work if the official app doesn't.

    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    As another troubleshooting step you could try swapping the video codec (h.264 vs h.265) or lowering the main stream resolution, to see if maybe Blue Iris just had a decoding bug only affecting some streams.

    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    I run several FCD600 and they are all fine. If hardware acceleration is enabled in Blue Iris, turn that off. In Blue Iris Status > Cameras, you should have hyphens under the HA column.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Phones have file browser apps too, they just are not in-your-face as much as on windows/mac/linux, and the average phone user may never need to use it. Anyway you can use UI3's local overrides system to add anything you want to UI3, including changing the default settings. Read this: UI3 Help...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I've been saying for years they should make an IP cam with a very high resolution sensor and good lens like you would find in a $300-$1000 handheld camera. Or a DSLR like a professional photographer would use. Doesn't matter if they can't do the sensor justice will full motion video. Because...

    Looks like 10gig is becoming increasingly affordable

    I started using 10 Gbps for the backbone of my LAN in 2019. The affordability was pretty great even then. You just had to do a little research into what to buy on ebay. I was getting used Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards for around $21-26 each. These each offered one SFP+ (10 Gbps) port. SFP+...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    That quote is really more opinion than fact. It is a fact that a "4K" camera has at least 20x more pixels than a typical old analog camera. It is an opinion that having all those pixels makes longer focal lengths worthless. It has been shown many, many times on this forum how longer focal...

    I recommend at least 8 GB RAM. And use wired Ethernet, not wireless. Also that mini PC will require you to optimize CPU usage carefully.
