    Dedicated PC struggling to keep up with BI with 6 cameras

    Thanks guys, I will adjust the FPS on each camera and see how that does. Good thing I am looking at this now, just the other day my neighbor had his truck vandalized, he asked me to see it our cameras caught anything. I am installing another camera that will help cover most if his front yard...

    Dedicated PC struggling to keep up with BI with 6 cameras

    I would assume changing the fps would be directly in the cameras setting right? I think BI changes this automatically when reading the cameras. I do remember trying to change that in BI and the next time I opened the settings it was back at a higher rate. on the new to storage. I do have...

    Here is some screen shots of BI's settings. all of the cameras have the exact same settings. the cameras are all recording continuous 24/7 with audio and are stored on the SSD for 1 day and then transferred to the regular HDD for archive for 14 days

    Hello all, I haven't been on here in a while, but my dedicated PC has been running just fine for a good while. recently I have noticed that it seems to be slowing down and struggling to keep up. it's showing high cpu and memory usage almost all the time and when I attempt to log into the web...

    Help and suggestions for converting older analog cameras to ethernet for use with BI

    I figured tossing them was the better option LOL. I do have the nvr that came with them but have not been able to use the nvr since it requires a special interface to set it up. the nvr and cameras are made by Gatekeeper systems. Gatekeeper model 304SD. I have two of the nvr's and 6...

    BI running on Linux

    Hello all, I stumbled across a thread on the Linux Mint forums on how one of their members was able to get BI running on Linux. I would post a link to the thread, but not sure if cross posting is allowed here (please let me know if ok and I will post the link) I am looking to "Jump...

    Blue Iris is changing IP addresses randomly

    Just curious on the camera setup in BI. two of the cameras are randomly dropping connection but not frequently, it's seems to happen maybe once every hour or half hour. they seem to come back online within about 1 or 2 minuets. I was looking at the status windows in BI and noticed that...

    Blue Iris is changing IP addresses randomly

    Just ordered a new POE switch that is designed for cameras. all my cameras are only 10/100 cat5 Ethernet so this one seems good for the price of $16. only time will tell. all cameras are not true POE as they each use a POE splitter for the 12v output and normal Ethernet connection...

    Blocking IMOU (dahua) cameras from accessing internet and calling home.

    Can the existing unmanaged POE switch be used with devices on different subnets? an example is it I use the second uplink port for the BI machine's second nic on IP address 192.168.55.xxx and giving each camera a 192.168.55.xxx address with the gateway matching the IP of the BI machine's...

    Blocking IMOU (dahua) cameras from accessing internet and calling home.

    Update: I tested my connection on my PC by entering the same gateway and checking if I can connect to the internet. Nope. I can still access anything on LAN but nothing outside of that. Maybe this did in fact stop the cameras from accessing the world wide web, but again it's not ideal...

    Blocking IMOU (dahua) cameras from accessing internet and calling home.

    Yes, that is the ideal setup. the IMOU cameras are basically a Dahau camera minus the web interface. they are chineese camera using Dahua's hardware. my home network consists of an ATT fiber modem connected to one eero router and then to a 24 port switch on one end of the house supplying...

    Blocking IMOU (dahua) cameras from accessing internet and calling home.

    Hello all. after doing some reading and seeing all the security risks of some of these IP camera manufactures giving their cameras the ability to "phone home" and upload footage and pictures to the cloud, I set on a quest to completely block the ones I have from accessing the internet but...

    BI ios app not connecting but receives push notifications

    I fumbled with it and finally got it to show once and set it, but on the next time I looked, it was back to only showing my physical Ethernet connection. I did however install ZT on my phone and changed the IP address in the BI settings to match what ZT gave me, turned off the port forwarding...

    Thank you for sharing that video. I am going to set this up on all of my devices. I actually was looking for something like this and it seems so simple to setup. this is something I can use to access my nas while away from home too! I'm curious if this is like a VPN where it slows...

    ok, I finally was able to get it fixed. I don't necessarily like or really know what the setting mean, but I went back through the web server remote access wizard in the settings. and it started working again. I can connect with my phone on or off my wifi now. in the screenshot here, the...

    BI ios app not connecting but receives push notifications

    rebooted and shows the same wan ip. I get off work here shortly, so I can be in fornt of the pc running BI rather than remoting into it from work! much easier to see the screen and troubleshoot vs trying to do everything from my phone.

    BI ios app not connecting but receives push notifications

    I would think that while on WAN, your phone is connecting through a BI server somewhere. if that's the case then their server may be the issue. I will verify if my phone will pull up the cameras while on LAN when I get home from work later this afternoon.

    not sure if it's related, but yesterday their update servers were down for a bit. my BI interface on the PC was giving me a "cant connect to the internet" when checking for updates. Also for my area, I was told that there was a mass internet outage in the San Antonio area here in Texas. I'm...

    BI ios app not connecting but receives push notifications

    Thank you, I will have to look into this. I have used OpenVPN way back in the day but unfortunately my current router ( Eero Pro 6 mesh) doesn't have the ability to use OpenVPN that I'm aware of. since I have a home server running TrueNAS based off a linux distro, I think it's possible to...

    I need to setup a decent VPN for my LAN. any good suggestions? I'm not too familiar with them other than for privacy. I have a subscription with express vpn but I think they just offer anonymous browsing.
