    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    As another troubleshooting step you could try swapping the video codec (h.264 vs h.265) or lowering the main stream resolution, to see if maybe Blue Iris just had a decoding bug only affecting some streams.

    Trying to figure out this memory leak

    I run several FCD600 and they are all fine. If hardware acceleration is enabled in Blue Iris, turn that off. In Blue Iris Status > Cameras, you should have hyphens under the HA column.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Phones have file browser apps too, they just are not in-your-face as much as on windows/mac/linux, and the average phone user may never need to use it. Anyway you can use UI3's local overrides system to add anything you want to UI3, including changing the default settings. Read this: UI3 Help...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I've been saying for years they should make an IP cam with a very high resolution sensor and good lens like you would find in a $300-$1000 handheld camera. Or a DSLR like a professional photographer would use. Doesn't matter if they can't do the sensor justice will full motion video. Because...

    Looks like 10gig is becoming increasingly affordable

    I started using 10 Gbps for the backbone of my LAN in 2019. The affordability was pretty great even then. You just had to do a little research into what to buy on ebay. I was getting used Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards for around $21-26 each. These each offered one SFP+ (10 Gbps) port. SFP+...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    That quote is really more opinion than fact. It is a fact that a "4K" camera has at least 20x more pixels than a typical old analog camera. It is an opinion that having all those pixels makes longer focal lengths worthless. It has been shown many, many times on this forum how longer focal...

    Yes, those are the best existing resources for demonstrating how to use ui3's local overrides system.

    Locking down U13

    There is no documentation of how to hide other elements but it is extremely straightforward with even the most basic web development skills. An AI chat bot may be able to help you. To get you started, ui3-local-overrides.css can be given this rule to hide the playback settings button...

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    I recommend at least 8 GB RAM. And use wired Ethernet, not wireless. Also that mini PC will require you to optimize CPU usage carefully.

    NVR with 32TB HD's need 120 days

    I think the i-frame interval setting is inapplicable when H265+ is enabled, so the field gets disabled or hidden. In that case, don't worry about i-frame interval. How many of what size hard drives do you have? Do you need to record continuously (24/7), or is recording on motion detection...

    NVR with 32TB HD's need 120 days

    Constant bit rate is more predictable. Variable bit rate is allowed to go below the configured limit to extend the retention time in a way you will not be able to predict as well. H.265+ is probably the best option you have for maximizing the image quality at a given bit rate. If you have one...

    V6 Keeps Closing/Crashing

    Blue Iris is not super stable to begin with (although it depends very much on your individual configuration and hardware). It is best to run Blue Iris as a service so it restarts automatically if it crashes. See Blue Iris Settings > Startup.

    Linux Users - What is your favorite distribution and why?

    You know it is funny. I'm a professional software developer who is pretty deeply entrenched in Microsoft technologies (.NET, SQL Server, Windows Server, etc) and it feels like they (Microsoft) has been going out of their way to make it easier for us to move our server stuff onto Linux and...

    why specs doesnt have sensor size ?

    I imagine people still using analog HD (coax cable) cameras are less discerning about performance, and just haven't pressured Hikvision to be less lazy about writing the specs. What the AI answer said about analog cameras not listing their sensor sizes "because they utilize very small image...

    I really screwed up and opened an email that looks like I have been hacked

    What kind of router is it? Try accessing it from an Incognito / Private browsing window since that should (A) have no addons enabled, and (B) use an entirely fresh state with no conflicting cookies or authentication tokens or anything like that. Email sender addresses are very easily spoofed...

    Cables for less Experiance?

    Heh if I was doing new permanent wiring I think I would not much care which color each cable is. Just label the sockets on the patch panel(s).

    That is a great price for a 1000 foot spool of solid copper cable even if it was cat5e! (from a brand you can trust, anyway)

    how can i view blue iris remotely?

    If you set up the wireguard tunnel to only route the remote LAN subnet instead of the whole internet, then you don't even have to choose which apps can use it.

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    If you won't be using the NVR, and you trust the Blue Iris machine to work, then you don't even need a new router because tailscale can run fine on the Blue Iris machine.

    true cloud hosting for ip cameras

    In that case I would advise installing a router there with Tailscale support (something running pfSense or OpnSense would do it). Configure that router as an "exit node" in your Tailscale network. You should change the LAN IP address range to be unique, something you aren't using anywhere...

    Extending a Blue Iris Network - Assistance on How to Keep Secure?

    Yes. There is no limit to the number of networks you can connect a computer to, and Blue Iris will be able to access resources on all of them and serve UI3 on all of them. Do not have the "Bind exclusively" box checked in BI's web server settings as that limits UI3/webserver access to only one...

    how can i view blue iris remotely?

    +1 for Tailscale. Tailscale performs better in many people's experience, and has a substantially better free service plan compared to ZeroTier, especially lately as ZeroTier has been reducing what is available to new free sign-ups in recent times.

    I am not sure what you are asking for. You said cloud hosting in the title. You said you want to view IP cameras. But what cameras? What else do you want to do besides live view? Do you want to record? Receive alert notifications? Filter those alert notifications with AI? Share access...

    Cables for less Experiance?

    Cat5e is pretty much a commodity item and plenty of brands sell perfectly adequate cable. The main thing to watch out for is the wire material. You want "Pure Copper" also known as "Bare Copper" wire. Avoid cables built with "Copper Clad Aluminum" (CCA) wire. There are also options of...
