    [tutorial] UI3 Viewing Station with Android Tablet

    You inspired me to dig out my old Toshiba Thrive with an ancient Android OS and it works great! I have not plugged it in since 2016 and it was a bit slow getting started but works great with Firefox and it will stay on next to my bed. Thanks GentlePumpkin!

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    I was testing it with BI 5 and that only runs in demo mode so it was not direct to disk. See my post immediately above.

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    Doh! I just realized that when I tested BI5, I saved the cameras individually and it was not running Direct to Disk in Demo mode. I changed that when I Upgraded to BI5 to record Direct to Disk, but I never re-exported my camera files after the upgrade. So when I have been reloading the files...

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    I totally agree. I was surprised at the i7-6700K myself. I was using BI5 Demo with no Direct to Disk since it is not supported in Demo mode. For me AMD new processors are an easy upgrade since they run on my current hardware. With Intel I would have to get another motherboard and $ for $ AMD...

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    Tyfoon, I assume you mean a i5-3570. I have a Dell i5-3570 and I tested it with BI5 before I upgraded from BI4 and it ran 100% CPU with all six cameras at 20fps using igfx. Basically crashing the system. It still ran but would not respond to any keyboard or mouse commands. Not enough power...

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    Really? What is your power consumption for your computer running six cameras at 20fps and what is the resolution for each camera? How many MP's/S are you processing in BI? How are you measuring the power at the wall?

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    I replaced the RX480 with a R7 360 I have. It did reduce the power consumption about 10w. The fans on the RX480 never ran, very low power draw and not overclocked. My opinion is since I have a powerful computer and I must have a computer running 24/7/365, it may as well serve all my needs...

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    Yes, I might take that video card out and put it somewhere else and get a low power card. Would definitely run lower wattage. I have a 750w 80+ Gold power supply with eco mode and I have not seen the cooling fan come on yet. I had run BI4 on a i7 6700K before and the power consumption was...

    After 8 years BI up for a new HW setup. Pls Advice

    Best deal now is AMD R7 1800X, R7 1700X, R7 2700X, or R7 3700X running on most any AM4 motherboards. Current consumption on my R7 1800X rig is 140w at the wall with console on, dual monitor on a RX480 8gb . 6 Cameras: 2mp x3, 3mp, 4mp, and 5mp at 20fps and CPU usage about 18-22% at night and...

    Managing Blue Iris remotely

    Do you have any recommendations for a wifi power switch? All of them on Amazon seem to be thru phone apps which means you have to give the app permission to enter and control your network. As far as I can see. Thanks!

    Dahua Secretly Sending Video Feeds to China?

    I don't know about Dahua, but I bet it does send packets of some sort of info to China. Every one of my cameras tries to send packets to China over the internet. I run a pfSense router and I block everything from the cameras going in and out and log the ip's and they are all in China. It only...

    My thoughts on the Edge Vector algorithm (work in progress)

    So you have Gaussian on, cancel shadows on, Make time to 0.1 and contrast lowered to <17. Is that correct?

    Cameras not pausing

    Any ideas on what would keep BI4 from pausing a camera feed? I have had no pausing problems in the past but now when I try to pause any of my cameras, they indicate that they are paused but they still keep recording and sending alerts. They are set to continuous recording and trigger alerts...

    Substreams

    What does BI do with Substream? Will I save any space or time by turning the substream off? Yes I did a search but could not find the answer. Thank you!

    No recordings after 20191231?

    I run the BI program on my C: drive SSD, but the video and alert clips go on D: drive which is a 4tb hard drive. This may be superfluous but three or four times a year I shut the BI machine down and reformat the D: drive and restart with a clean disk just to keep things from stacking up or...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I am considering purchasing BI 5. I have paid for BI 4 and it works great. Can I keep running BI 4 running, and purchase BI 5 and run it on a separate computer?

    Signal noise or camera problem?

    Yes, after doing a lot of stuff I have concluded that it is a signal problem and not camera or BI. I am going to replace long runs with cat 6. Not real sure if that is the entire problem but I have the a lot of a 300' spool left and the runs are not that long. Will do that tomorrow and hope...

    Signal noise or camera problem?

    I had one cam start doing this and was doing it frequently but now seems to be calming down. Now I noticed another cam has started which leaves me to believe it may not be a camera isssue. Possibly a network issue? I changed out the cables and rebooted everything including my router and...

    BI Update checking stopped working

    My support has run out also. And my update controls on my ABOUT menu are grayed out. Does that mean I cannot update or I just have to do manual updates? My last update was 4.8.4.3 x64. Thanks!

    Clip: Disk not ready (0)

    Extended Self Test completed without error. There appears to be nothing wrong with this drive. However, I think it is going out since the other drive I used to replace it is the exact same drive and BI is working fine, so far. So I am taking it out of service and using it for a backup drive...

    Clip: Disk not ready (0)

    Thanks bp2008! I have a spare hard drive that I use for backup on another computer and I have formatted it and installed it in my BI computer as a D: drive. It has been running for about 25 minutes and all is well so far. I am doing an extended self test on another computer with the offending...
