    Bandwidth question

    I've tried with my BI machine connected over WiFi for several weeks when I was testing. I had zero issues and performace was identical to me being connected to my wired network. But I can also get 150Mb/s throughput over wireless N with each AP. My cameras are only sending 40Mb/s to 60Mb/s...

    Bandwidth question

    Wifi is very reliable if the wifi network is properly setup. ie. multiple APs, no congestion, excellent signal strength for all devices, and no saturated APs. I've been runnning eight of my cameras, streaming over wifi 24/7/365, with BI since 2013. They have been every bit as rock solid as the...

    Chromecast Support Added to Android app 1.0.58

    I guess I spoke too soon. AFter casting BI to my Chromecast it seems like it made BI4 crash. BI4 has been rock solid otherwise for me.

Just like BI3 did. So far I have not noticed any storage issues. it seems to work just like BI3 did for me. I...

    Recommended online FTP services for Clips Backup

    Many hosting services allow that for FTP. The last couple I've had over the last few years(iPage and FatCow)or so have had FTP with a bunch of storage.

    3tb WD Purple Drive/ External/BI Help

    How old is the PC to not be able to see a 3TB drive? Even an old PC I have from nine years ago will recognize a 3TB drive. it will even recognize 6TB drives. if the drive is actually dead just exchange it where you purchased it. If it was purchased from a place like Newegg, Newegg will pay for...

    Camera Configuration Question

    I just tried this with a couple of my cameras. I set them for higher than was being sent and also for lower. Each time BI automatically changed it back to the proper resolution that it was receiving. Thanks for the info. I never realized that BI did this.

    BI Version 4.0 Issues

    It also recommends to turn off automatic updating so you won't get the nag screen while running version 3. Since version 3 is old now.

    Version 4.0.0.16 (January 5, 2015)

    I never had a problem with using the auto update with version 3 and so far it's been working fine with version 4. It loads the new version and restarts automatically as expected.

    Version 4.0.0.16 (January 5, 2015)

    I like that Blue Iris will automatically check and install updates. When I check it each evening it has already installed the most recent update.

    3tb WD Purple Drive/ External/BI Help

    But how many drives can get to those speeds? You need to be running a RAID 0 to get that fast. My Samsung 1TB SSD will hit speeds of around 520MB/s. But that is only around 4.2Gb/s. I would need to run two SSDs in a RAID 0 to hit speeds of 6Gb/s.

    Version 4 is now available!

    My version 3 is still on the machine. I can still open it and use it too if I want. When I installed version 4, it picked up all the settings from my version 3. So all the camera settings and file locations were the same as v3 when I first opened v4. Which made things so much easier since I...

    Version 4 is now available!

    Yes working great here too with the 64 bit version. I never had any memory issues with BI3. And I haven't really noticed any difference in CPU usage with BI4. It is still using one core most of the time in my setup. When I get these four HikVision 3MP cameras in a few weeks I'll see how much...

    let my gaurd down - ready to fight back with tech

    Yes. I used to have them in the early 2000's. Never again. There are many other options that also cost much less for monitoring. Personally I just upgraded my main alarm system to one with a touch screen, that can use wifi, cellular and even control z-wave devices. I didn't go the cellular route...

Then the videos are pushed to a 6TB, low power, platter hard drive where I reserve 200GB of space for Blue Iris videos(the rest is used for my TiVo...

My main drive is a 180GB SSD where Blue Iris stores up to 30GB of videos. Then it is pushed to a 6TB hard drive that I reserve 200GB of...
