    Version 6

    You are supposed to download the full installer from Blue Iris by Perspective Software LLC | Video Security and Webcam Software and install Blue Iris 6 that way.

    Unusual camera codec configurations

    I don't know anything about how Scrypted does things, but I see their documentation lists the recommended minimum CPU for Windows as Intel 9th gen. Funny enough they don't actually say "Intel" there which tells you they expect to have a fairly tech-literate audience. The bizarre thing is they...

    BI won't start after latest update!

    What error do you get when you launch Blueiris.exe (e.g. from the shortcut on your desktop)? Did you do a fresh install to get BI 6? Did 6.0.0.0 work? If 6.0.0.0 worked, you should be able to download the update file for it which I shared a few posts up from here, run that, and then you'll...

    Version 6

    Oh you can definitely still assign a value in that box. Since years ago Blue Iris will automatically adjust the value up if it detects a frame rate that is higher than currently set. Which happens occasionally if something stutters. However it will not adjust the value back down. It does...

    I uploaded the update installer for 6.0.0.0 here so you can try downgrading. https://ipcamtalk.com/downloads/blue-iris-6-0-0-0-64-bit-update-file.146/

    This is the update file for Blue Iris 6.0.0.0, which can be applied to an existing installation as an upgrade.

    Unusual camera codec configurations

    CBR (constant bit rate) is where you assign a bit rate target and the camera tries its best to produce the video stream at that bit rate regardless of everything else. The bit rate directly affects file size, bandwidth usage, etc. Higher bit rate yields higher video quality. It is pretty...

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    Sounds like it was the result of the capitalization change.

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    Do you remember what your BI version was before that? They recently renamed the all cameras group from "Index" to "index" (first letter was capital, now lower case) so the integration might need updated to accommodate.

    Wrong scaling in Blue Iris 6 UI (Windows Server 2022)

    Remote Desktop tries to have the remote machine use the DPI scale of the local machine that is running the Remote Desktop client. The DPI setting can get "stuck" on the remote machine particularly I think if you just close the connection without logging out. I don't use Remote Desktop to...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Yes Blue Iris can use multiple cores pretty effectively but you lose quite a lot of single thread performance going to that lower TDP part and that will likely make certain tasks like web streaming 4K video suffer -- BI is already not great at that if you aren't using direct-to-wire. Check the...

    Version 6

    Yes, absolutely the CPU usage went up. Not to the extent you saw. One VM I updated today had Blue Iris at 21-26% CPU running BI 5.9.9.5 (about a year old). This above was with the local console open, just before it went down for the update. Unfortunately this is all the CPU usage data I...

    Wrong scaling in Blue Iris 6 UI (Windows Server 2022)

    I wonder if this only happens on systems with DPI scaling set above 100%. None of mine are, and I have not seen the issue yet.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Xeon E5-1630 v3 is quite a weak CPU, easily matched or beaten by mobile/embedded CPUs with 5-10% of the TDP. Definitely measure its power consumption at idle and with a full load. I bet a server based on that with a couple hard drives will be at least 70 watts at idle. Earlier this year I got a...

    Problems archiving footage since 5.9.9.9

    V is full, yes, but D is also full and overallocated which is why E is failing to move things to D. If D is also exclusively used by Blue Iris then Blue Iris probably lost track of some of its own clips, hence the overallocation. Either way I recommend reducing the D allocation by another...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Blue Iris is pretty good about supporting older Windows, and will run fine on Windows 10 now and for the foreseeable future. I still have a 5.9.9.73 copy running on Windows 7. CPAI certainly should be able to use the GPU if passed through to the VM that is running it, and yes, a side benefit...

    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    Did you follow all the instructions they provided? The stream path in your screenshot does not even match what they said to use (although further down in their instructions they do omit the trailing / themselves so it is probably fine)

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Blue Iris is fine in a VM. Hardware accelerated decoding doesn't really matter anymore so the only reason to pass through a graphics card would be if you need it for something else, maybe AI analytics.

    Wrong scaling in Blue Iris 6 UI (Windows Server 2022)

    I updated a win10 vm running under unraid to BI 6.0.0.0 today and had no scaling issues. It is the same qemu/kvm virtualization as proxmox I am pretty sure.

    Wrong scaling in Blue Iris 6 UI (Windows Server 2022)

    Very strange. It looks like the font is different too. That would not affect the scaling like this, but it could be another symptom of whatever is causing the issue. I'd try right clicking BlueIris.exe and go to properties, compatibility, and see if anything in there can make it behave more...

    Just say No to all WiFi cameras (Ubiquiti rant)

    "The cameras are working really well" he says while the video visibly slows and stutters. Some people just have no eye for detail I guess. The entire unifi video interface appeared to be operating very slowly if you notice how long it took to switch cameras and load thumbnails. I'm guessing...

    It doesn't exist, and as far as I know it is not on the roadmap.

    Need help with new networks install.

    Now if you were to get two of these switches and configure them both identically (for simplicity's sake) as I showed above, then you could connect them to each other via their SFP ports. And in doing so, you would be linking the green ports to the green ports, and the red ports to the red...

    Need help with new networks install.

    That switch won't do what you want. The thing it is calling "VLAN isolation" is just isolating the PoE ports from each other. That behavior is not useless, but it isn't really what you are looking for here. To do VLANs, you need managed switches that support the VLAN standard IEEE 802.1Q...

    Tail Scale VPN

    Zerotier is really losing their way. It is working less reliably than ever for me. I just swapped a remote Blue Iris site to Tailscale because I had no connection with Zerotier. And every time they update their website, the site gets more verbose / space-wastey, and the free tier gets worse...

    Another few things. Double right clicking the map for some reason zooms out. I created a distance line. I notice it doesn't appear in the device list (not necessarily a problem, just an observation that not everything you put on the map appears in this list). The context menu does not open...

    This is great @Mike! I really like that you can add switches, cables, etc. Issues: Lens size dropdown box is full of resolutions, not lens sizes. This text is barely legible at lower DPI scales: Pressing keyboard keys has weird behavior, seems to make this box appear around things randomly...
