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

    Hi Brian, I run version 18.3 Ui2 and I get a notification at start to update to 18.4. However, when I unzip the files into ''www'' folder and restart the BI server, I'm still on 18.3. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you so muchbp2008 for sharing your settings! Now the playback I get is even smoother :)

    Blue Iris Remote Viewer in Linux

    Not yet means there will be one at some point which is fantastic! I'm not familiar with UI2 but I'll try it and see how it performs. Thanks for all the excellent work you have put on BI and also for the support! Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk

    Blue Iris Remote Viewer in Linux

    Perhaps I might be asking too much but have been wondering if there is a Linux client or browser plugin (like ActiveX in IE) which would allow smooth remote viewing. I'm asking because my laptop runs Linux Mint and it would be nice for me to be able to watch smooth video from my BI security...

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    Just downloaded the update and can't wait to test it. I had BI set to re-encode the video produced from my cams as with direct to disc on, the recordings featured ghosting especially in low-light conditions. I have now reverted back to direct to disc and cross my fingers the results will be...

    Good point. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    Thanks about that. I have tried all these first thing and were very effective, reducing CPU levels at even under 20's. However, I had to uncheck recording to disc in the end due to ghosting...

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    I thought about running teamviewer 24/7 on the computer running the BI server. However, running another process at startup, I suspect it will spike CPU at an even higher level... Now with re-encoding the videos in pretty decent quality, I get quite smooth recordings but CPU usage ranges between...

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    Possibly it's my impression after all. I have 2 more questions: Is there a way to download recorded clips remotely from the BI webserver? If yes, I haven't figured how yet. I'm also now re-encoding the recordings as direct-to-disc gave me blurry artefacts and ''ghosting'' under all possible...

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    Hmm... Well I can tell there is substantial difference in picture quality between 4096 and 10240 for every camera. I don't mind storage space as I'm only recording on motion. The thing is whether the increased camera bitrate impacts CPU usage or not as increased framerates certainly do.

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    That's what I wanted to hear. I will max the bitrate of every cam but I'll keep the fps at 8-10 as there's an impact in CPU usage of the BI server. Many thanks

    Bandwidth consumption 2mp (1080p) vs 4mp?

    I figured I'd better post here my relevant questions than opening a new thread. I'm trying to determine the sweet spot for my IP cameras bandwidth consumption. I have 2 Amcrest PoE's currently set at 2304x1296, 10fps (VBR, quality set to 3-out-of-6) and I can see within BI that each one takes...

    Blurry artifacts on moving objects

    Well, I haven't got to fix ''ghosting'' in my recordings under direct-to-disc mode no matter what I've tried so far. I matched frame intervals with actual frames in my cameras, lowered output framerate in general, increased received buffer for every single camera in BI, unchecked (and...

    Blurry artifacts on moving objects

    Many thanks. I set it to 20 as you suggest. It was 6. I have now checked HW again to see if it makes any difference. As for i-frames, is it the same with frame intervals? I can only find the second within my Amcrest menu.

    Blurry artifacts on moving objects

    I have the exact above issue but I suspect that BI settings have changed a bit since 2015 as I can't find the options suggested by fenderman. What I did: 1)Disabled HW Acceleration in BI>Settings>Cameras 2)Matched ''Frame Rate'' and ''Frame Interval'' in my Amcrest cameras web server (set to 11...

    No. Just ''prompt at start up''.

    Blue Iris Settings for Wansview K2 Camera

    Good to know. I got 2 3M-Amcrest outdoors which have been quite good so far. I have them up and running for over a year now and they have proven to be pretty reliable except from their motion detection which is rather temperamental and unreliable. So, I will be looking for an indoors Hikvision...

    Blue Iris Settings for Wansview K2 Camera

    I Know. I bought it 1,5 ago when I first had started my journey with IP cameras and hadn't known much about the game. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at the above one. What's your opinion on Amcrest indoor with PTZ? Are they any good?

    All camera motion alerts stopped triggering

    Well, pull point subscription is also checked. Very strange that my cameras stopped triggering BI. It happened literally out of nowhere... I will try BI detection as I got no other option I guess. Many thanks for your help once again!

    All camera motion alerts stopped triggering

    Thank you very much for the prompt response fenderman. I appreciate it. The reason I'm using cameras' motion detection is to save CPU processing power as my computer running the server is a low-end machine. Traffic signal is green and cameras' digital input motion is checked. Where can I find...

    All camera motion alerts stopped triggering

    Hello. Sorry for reviving an old thread. Have you by any chance found what was causing the problem? I have a similar issue. I have my cameras doing the detection and then feeding it to BI. Suddenly from yesterday night, BI stopped being triggered by cameras' alerts. I can see the cameras...

    How to get Blue Iris to automatically start when restarting PC w/Windows 8.1

    Hello. I'm new to the forum. I just set a BI server (full version) on a windows 10 PC and as I wanted it to automatically launch the application with every restart, I followed the above recommendation by @fenderman and it does now start indeed. I then later noticed the ''run as a Windows...
