    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    I see. At any case, this wil be one of the first things to check when I receive the unit next week. It's good that the fans can at least be lowered down which is a feature that comes very handy for servers like this.

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    I would never disconnect them for any reason. I thought about disabling them through BIOS. If that's not possible I will try to set them to the lower speed possible!

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    I see but with 2-4 streams that I'm going to be feeding mine I could have probably got away with a conventional 3.5 HDD. If there are no high temps, I will be certainly disabling the fans. In my case specifically, I expect a very low average workload. I have been running 2 1080p streams w/...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    You don't know how happy I am hearing this... One of the reasons I opted for a WD Purple was noise emission rather than longevity. These drives are allegedly the most silent ones.

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Great to know. My main concearns were consumption and noise but as long as these are efficient machines I think I'll be fine. In worst case scenario I will look into the possibility of swaping the fans with Noctua ones -if they fit- but hopefully, I won't have to attempt this mod. I'm just a...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    I thought about this adapter but didn't know if the drive was a laptop's DVD drive (9.5mm) or a 12 one. I will probably get this adapter as it's more neat and gives better air flow among the drives. Many thanks!

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    The 3020 I bought seems to have space in the caddy to velcro the 2.5inch SSD on the HDD. My only concearn is the heat the Purple drive will generate by working 24/7. I wouldn't want to remove the DVD drive completely as there will be a hole in the fascia of the unit. That said, it will be...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Well I just got a SFF Optiplex 3020 on ebay with a 4590. Hopefully I'll have it early on next week. I'm planning to swap the 500GB it comes with with a WD Purple for the recordings. I also want to run the system of off an SSD. Do I have to remove the DVD drive in order to fit the system drive -...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Hm, I will most probably do as its very easy to find a build with a 5490. Thanks again!

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    After reading all posts, I understand that an i3-4150 might be adequate for my setup (3-4 1080p streams). Is that the case?

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Anyone guys? Is the 5490 still a viable option or has it aged and I'll be better off with a newer processor?

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    I'm considering transferring my BI server to an Optiplex 3020 with an i5-5490. My set up is in a home environment and has 2-4 1080p streams (I add 2 more IP cameras when away) I have 2 questions: 1) Is it possible to accommodate a 2.5 SSD and a 3.5 WD Purple to this SFF PC? Do I have to remove...

    Fanless Windows PC Configuration

    I see. Currently I run 3 cameras through a Voyo Vmac N4200 with 8GB RAM and a 2.5inch SSD to write only on motion. I have modified it by removing the fan and adding an industrial heatsink up top. It's good if I restrict the framerates to 5 and the stream quality to around 35-50%. However, adding...

    Fanless Windows PC Configuration

    Thnaks for the quick response fenderman I didn't look to accomodate a full size drive as I'm only intended to record on motion and not 24/7 I understand that these fanless small bricks are lower spec compared to desktops. However I was prepared to pay a bit more for the lower carbon footprint...

    Fanless Windows PC Configuration

    Hello. Sorry for revining an old thread but I wanted to ask if a fanless option like this one : Intel 7th Gen i7 Fanless Desktop PC Windows 10 Pro WiFi Mini PC Kaby Lake | eBay would be good for a configuration for up to 3-4 cameras. I like the small footprint and low consumption of these...

    stunnel

    Thanks for posting this John. I've stil yet to try the above fixes you suggested, hence not responded as of now. I hope I will be able to test the new Stunnel either tomorrow or Tuesday. Thanks again!

    stunnel

    Thank you so much! I'll try it asap when I get home. I will use your own conf (by deleting the existing details and copying-pasting yours from the text below) and see how it goes. If it won't work, then it's safe to assume there is something within the pfSense firewall. I will report back.

    stunnel

    Unfortunately in my case it won't work under any browser, nor with my mobile's one. I can't think of anything else really. I even uninstalled stunnel and installed it several times to no avail. If I could find an older version of the software, I'd try it but it seems there are no available older...

    stunnel

    That's exactly mine now too John. I even configured the same ports like you. I tend to believe that pfSense blocks stunnel somehow. Thanks for all your help. It is thorough appreciated!

    stunnel

    I have disabled frewall completely on this server as it is not destined for anything else other than the BI server duty. Running the stunnel GUI I get: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf 2017.11.17 16:57:38 LOG5[main]: UTF-8 byte order mark detected 2017.11.17 16:57:38 LOG5[main]...

    I'm trying to connect via a browser but it does't even get back an error certificate warning.

    stunnel

    Thanks for your quick response John. I'm getting closer! Now when I run the ''remote access wizard'' in the stunnel configuration relevant info I get a green tick while I didn't previously. However, I'm still not able to connect via https. Should I try an older Stunnel version?

    I wll. I haven't done anything, so if it blocks stunnel it does by default. Thanks for your quick answer.

    stunnel

    Hello I installed stunnel, edited the configuration file filling there my desired port, installed the service and started it, however can get it to work. I'm only able to reach my server on http both locally and remotely. Therefore, the port forwarding works but stunnel doesn't. I have a...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I thought about that but the problem is that stunnel fails at boot and when I reload the configuration it returns an error. This means that stunnel won't run despite it initially run successfully when I configured it. I have tried all possible combinations while editing the configuration. Even...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Thanks for your replies guys. I didn't say that ui3beta is responsible that I failed to install stunnel. It's me that I had done something when I originally installed stunnel along with BI that I'm missing now. I spent the better part of the morning trying to figure what I'm doing wrong with...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Hi Brian I ended up uninstalling BI and re-installing and configuring it from scratch. I then installed ui3beta and works like a charm. Very smooth and reliable. However, after reinstalling the whole thing I haven't got to configure stunnel right. Not sure what I did in the first place that I'm...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I'm pretty sure I overwrote all files when extracted the zip(s) into the ''www'' folder. It can't be the browser's cache as far as I can tell as it does the same from 2 different computers and all browsers I tried.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    That's strange. I also tried to install beta ui3 but it ruined my ui3 01 (the version you had uploaded on github for a while now). Now not only ui3 beta doesn't work but the ''old'' ui3 also crashes. My only working page now is ui2.htm version 0.18.3 Which files should I delete in order to...
