    Natural Gas Generators

    7" WC (1/4 PSI) is standard that gas/LP appliances use so that is generally what any gas utility will deliver out of the meter. Fortunately It's a simple call to tell them you want it upped to 2 PSI. They will change the output regulator on your meter so it kicks out the higher pressure but...

    Natural Gas Generators

    Yup. @samplenhold make sure you have your gas pressure coming out of your meter upped to 2lb if it isn’t already. It’s probably 1/4lb or 7 W.C. currently. If you leave it at 1/4lb, the generator may starve the rest of your gas appliances for gas when it’s running. The only downside of upping...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    I wish he would push the next stable update to something other than 6.0.0.1 so I can at least start playing with built-in AI. I emailed him today and he said that is still the stable version.

    What to do if Home Internet is out...

    Yup. Has all that stuff. Peplink is enterprise level if you want to spend the money and go through a distributor for end level support. They have some expensive high end kit. I just buy from their Amazon store as I’ve been using them for years. I have three sites tied together with three...

    What to do if Home Internet is out...

    I use Peplink routers for this. Balance 20X in particular. They have sim slots so I insert a TMobile sim and tell it to use it as a failover wan connection. TMobile charges $15/month for 30GB/month. It’s perfect for small outages. A lot of the time I don’t even know the main internet is down...

    Natural Gas Generators

    Thats a good unit. It has hydraulic lifters which never needs adjusting. I'm coming up on my oil change so I'll need to gauge my lifters to make sure they are the proper distance.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Haha. I guess I’ll keep my lights on proudly. The sound of the thing running gives it away.

    Natural Gas Generators

    I paid $12.6k for a 24kWh Generac air cooled back in 6/24. I'm on natural gas so it is de-rated to 21kWh. It's still plenty big enough for my needs. I do a full load test on it once a month for 30 minutes and a weekly 5 minute test in addition to that. Cranks right up with no problems. I'll...

    You guys update to latest every release? Man, I would need to quit my job to keep up with that.

    From Blue Iris to UniFi Protect - the Move Is On!

    If the camera is doing it's own AI (e.g. Dahua IVS), the Unifi NVR is just logging the timestamp it saw the ONVIF event come in and creating a "bookmark" to that video location. Basically what BI does. I can't believe that would be any more taxing on the system than just regular recording is now.

    From Blue Iris to UniFi Protect - the Move Is On!

    This is a what causes me to not even think about Unifi. I'm not changing out my entire camera infrastructure and get vendor locked just so I can get the same ONVIF events I already get with Dahua/BI. No thanks!

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    I guess I haven’t run into the json issue as I’ve been running that 6.0.0.1 since 12/10 with no issue. But I’m glad you said this as if I have an issue I’ll upgrade to the one you mentioned.

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    The last stable version is still 6.0.0.1 as shown in the BI console updater as of 1/6/2026 at 10:04am CST.

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    6.0.0.1 is stable and working fine. Anything past that is a gamble.

    Version 6.0.1

    This setting is for AI I believe.

    Windows Remote Desktop Replacement?

    I use mRemoteNG. Been using it for years it’s free and works great.

    HDD recommendation

    Exos are Enterprise. They are a step above WD Purple. On par with Purple Pro.

    Version 6

    Wow. Never used it in the 10 years I’ve been using Bi. Yours crashes enough it needs a watchdog like timer? That is strange… Hopefully someone else will know the answer.

    Version 6

    What do you use it for?

    HDD recommendation

    The 7200rpm drives will be “clicky” compared to their 5600rpm brethren. I wouldn’t want my BI server with 4 Exos 24 drives in the same room with me.
  23. biggen

    HDD recommendation

    My recommendation is you want 5400 rpm if you desire some level of quietness. The issue is that you typically can’t get larger than 8TB with 5400rpm drives. If you don’t care about noise level (e.g, the NVR will be located away from people) then stuff it with the largest 7200rpm drives you can...

    Version 6

    Is it one specific drive those messages are appearing for? It was for me. The problem is I was getting dropped recording when those errors were appearing as BI is basically saying it can’t write to the drive. So I was getting missed footage for those time periods.

    Merry Xmas, what’s everyone cooking today?

    Nothing today. I did a 10lb rib roast yesterday on the smoker. Was excellent! Yours looks great!

    Version 6

    I had this start happening about 6 months ago on v5. All the error message were for cameras located on a specific drive. Error message continued when I upgraded to v6. I ended up replacing the drive with a new Exos X24 24TB drive. Error message went away immediately. So it was definitely a bad...

    Version 6

    I'm curious why 15fps isn't "good enough". What is it you need more fps for? Is something happening in high speed you need to monitor?? Those Xeon processors you are working with were last manufactured in 2011. I don't know who you answer to but if you need top of the line monitoring and...

    Version 6

    Of course. But on-cam AI is limited to what the camera manufacturer gives you. At least with doing AI externally, you have more options with more targets (e.g. Blue Onyx, CPAI, Frigate, etc..)

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Excellent. I get about ~600 cars a day by my house so that is 220k reads per year. Gives me an idea of db size which seems to be pretty small.
