    Recommend me a camera that can zoom

    School has started and the district has moved the bus stop from directly in front of my house to about 100-150 yards away. I have a camera (Loryta IPC-T541IR-AS 6MM) aimed in that direction, but my kids are just a few pixels and my wife has given me the green light to get a better camera to...

    Blue Iris no longer respecting storage limits

    I have 850GB free on my main C drive - but I'm only allocating 500GB for the "New" storage. I don't think it's a case of running out of storage BEFORE maintenance has time to perform the deletes (unless this is a very slow process that takes days to initiate). I could move it all to the 3TB...

    Blue Iris no longer respecting storage limits

    I've been running Blue Iris v5.6.8.1 since July 2023. I have about 25 cameras and they record to different locations. "New" clips are stored on a 1TB local drive (C) and is set to limit size to 500GB. Once that 500GB limit is met, the clips should be moved to the "Stored" location (a 3TB...

    Area of Interest (AoI) Greyed Out

    Thanks for the advice. Edit: it appears that this is a result of "dual streaming". I was able to disable the sub stream (which enabled the AoI)... but the AoI is removed/greyed out the moment that I re-enable the sub-stream...

    Area of Interest (AoI) Greyed Out

    Hello! I'm trying to edit the Area of Interest on one of my cameras. I'm trying to avoid facing a partial wall and a neighbor's window. I've used AoI on other cameras, but the option seems to be greyed out (even for an existing camera where AoI is set and working - I can no longer edit...

    Help with Drive Overallocation

    I already changed it (per your recommendation) - but it was wayyy more than 100MB!! I think it was a few hundred GB!

    Having issues with Amcrest IP3M-941 Wireless (Blue Iris Main Stream = 0.00 FPS)

    Hey - this (mostly) worked!! I'm not getting an FPS (and the 1080p MP appears to be working!) I did have to remove the "&proto=Onvif" code in the stream profile for it actually connect:

    Having issues with Amcrest IP3M-941 Wireless (Blue Iris Main Stream = 0.00 FPS)

    I don't recall ever rotating or changing the camera in the GUI (how can I tell?) I bumped up the buffer to 40MB. I'm not 100% sure what you meant by the "blank box". I was able to change the resolution to 1080p in the Amcrest settings, but the main FPS is still 0.

    Having issues with Amcrest IP3M-941 Wireless (Blue Iris Main Stream = 0.00 FPS)

    wittaj - thanks for the super fast response (as always)! I made the changes that you suggested - but the camera signal doesn't appear to be found by BI (I confirmed that my user/password are correct). If I remove the "&proto=Onvif" from the end of the stream profile, the camera is found -...

    Having issues with Amcrest IP3M-941 Wireless (Blue Iris Main Stream = 0.00 FPS)

    Hi All! I have a single Amcrest IP3M-941 wireless PTZ camera that I use in a location where running ethernet was not practical. I have 23 other Amcrest/Dahua cameras using POE. All of this is running in Blue Iris 5.7.8.1. My issue that the substream shows up fine, but the main stream usually...

    One of my cameras will not open at full res in UI3 (but works fine directly in BI)

    It doesn't appear that I have this enabled: My UI3 (and BI) profile is "Active" - not sure how to correlate that to the "Streaming 0/1/2" encode profiles.

    One of my cameras will not open at full res in UI3 (but works fine directly in BI)

    Yes - when I double click the camera (to make it full screen), it displays in full resolution. Note - it doesn't say "Main Stream" anywhere - but I'm certain that it is.

    One of my cameras will not open at full res in UI3 (but works fine directly in BI)

    I think so - but how can I tell? It's one of 24 cameras - the resolution is like 360 x 360 when viewing "All Cameras" in the BI Console (not UI3).

    One of my cameras will not open at full res in UI3 (but works fine directly in BI)

    I have 24 cameras running in BI 5.7.8.1. 1 (and only 1!) of these cameras does not like to play nice in UI3. However, it works just fine directly in BI. This camera is a Reolink RLC-410 (1 of 10 cameras in my system). I have it set for mainstream (12FPS) and substream. The substream works...

    Help with Drive Overallocation

    Thanks - I decided to delete all of the recordings from this drive and try again. I am aware that the usable space in a 3TB drive is 2.72TB (I mention that very point in my original post). I set the limit size to 2600 and this cleared the over-allocation. I still don't understand why it...

    Help with Drive Overallocation

    I recently added a 3TB drive to my system and setup a new "Continuous" folder dedicated to just this drive (no other folders use it). I set my storage limit to 2600GB, but it continues to tell me that I'm overallocated. I originally had the limit size to 2700GB (3TB = 2720 usable GB). What am...

    Question about recording "Continuous" vs "Continuous Sub + Triggered"

    Mark A. - I did NOT have "Alerts" selected in the clips pane - I typically just set it to "All" (before changing my camera recording settings, "All Clips" showed everything that I needed). Always learning... I've never really messed with the "alerts" before. Not I need to figure out how to...

    Question about recording "Continuous" vs "Continuous Sub + Triggered"

    On 2nd though - after experimenting for the last day with a few different cameras and configurations - it seems like it's actually better to enable the JPEGs (When Triggered) + "Include JPEGs on 'All clips' & timeline" instead of omitting them. Otherwise, my clips panel doesn't show all of the...

    Question about recording "Continuous" vs "Continuous Sub + Triggered"

    I'm using my "Aux 1" (which I renamed to "Continuous") for a specific hard drive for the storage of my "Continuous" clips. The "New" folder is for the rest of my cameras (which are still only recording "Triggered" videos) and used a small but fast SSD. I like the 10 second make time since my...

    Question about recording "Continuous" vs "Continuous Sub + Triggered"

    Thanks for the very quick response! Should I change any of the settings (other than to "Continuous" for Video) below? If I don't check the "Cut video when triggered with break time", will the recordings be gigantic? Thanks!

    Question about recording "Continuous" vs "Continuous Sub + Triggered"

    I have been using BI for several years and it's great! I typically have all my cameras set to record video "When Triggered" and this has worked fine except for 2 front yard cameras which have missed some events. I have plenty of bandwidth left on my BI server and some large 10TB hard drives...
