    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    Oh yeah, @Bruce_H pointed out there is now a second place to check for that IP address reassignment feature. I wasn't aware of that.

    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    Once upon a time, Blue Iris was known to occasionally change the IP address associated with your camera instance because it thought the camera got a new address via DHCP. Could this be what is happening? When it breaks in Blue Iris, are you ever finding that Blue Iris has assigned the wrong IP...

    Gmail vulnerability via cookies

    That is nothing new. Hackers have been stealing authenticated sessions for a long time, in all manner of web products. It does not require you to check a "remember me" box or anything like that (although using such features CAN provide the hacker with a longer-lasting session token). The key...

    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    5.9.9.99 builds are definitely broken in a number of ways. A lot of changes have been going into video encoder stuff in particular as they are trying to add a proper "CBR" (constant bit rate) encoding mode and for some reason this is breaking VBR in interesting ways. I'm not surprised if RTSP...

    I once found my trash on my lawn along with the lid. It wasn't what happened to yours. Somebody had hit it with their car the night before lol. Blasted the lid right off the plastic roll out container. Dented the side. Threw at least one trash bag. I probably posted the video here but it...

    Version 6 Beta

    Today's .99 re-release includes H.265 software encoding and direct-to-wire support in UI3-306. H.265 can be enabled either in Blue Iris's streaming profiles or UI3's Streaming Quality profiles, or both. A few notes about H.265 support. Direct-to-wire streaming may fail to play because Blue...

    Version 6 Beta

    Hi. I'm the sole UI3 developer. I have no plans to do a new interface or a major redesign of UI3. UI3 is a hobby project for me and I'm quite happy with its current state, for the most part. Besides, major changes tend to require changes in the Blue Iris server, which I do not and never have...

    Need help choosing a UPS

    I'm not a font of scientific knowledge on the subject, but my understanding is they are very safe relative to other lithium batteries (e.g. like those in phones). We have 60 kWh of the things in the basement (EG4 LifePower4) so they'd better be safe.

    Need help choosing a UPS

    I hate buying traditional UPS. The lead acid batteries they use have very low capacity and don't last long in terms of years before they don't hold a charge anymore and your stuff shuts off instantly when the power goes out. And speaking specifically about Cyberpower, the electronics have had...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Having no sub stream hurts CPU when you use the Timeline or when you scrub in a clip because the sub stream is not available to make the rendering cheaper. Set group max FPS to 15, not 30. Consider 5 or 10 FPS if necessary as this should significantly reduce the CPU usage even further and...

    Incredible light show tonight in Iowa

    Here it was most vivid early in the night. Even so, you look outside in person and it just looks faintly gray. The camera sees what the eye does not.

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Most of your cameras are only producing 15 FPS so a 15 FPS max group frame rate would be most appropriate here, not 30 FPS. I tried 120 FPS just now on my own system and BI only managed to hit 45 FPS anyway, so I don't think it cost you 8x higher CPU having it set to 120 FPS but it definitely...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Yes. it is the default setting so if you never changed it, it should still be on. The 120 FPS max assigned to group streams is probably a HUGE part of your CPU problem. Holy cow. Fix that for sure. You have basically no reason to set it higher than your highest camera. I'd never set it...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Several things. First, look at your BI Settings > Web server > Advanced, click the Configure button next to Streaming 0, and share a screenshot of that panel so I can make sure you didn't do anything weird in the encoder configuration. You wouldn't believe the things people do in there...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Can you revisit the request from @wittaj? The picture you actually posted in response to this was missing the totals, which makes it hard for us to judge whether sub streams were actually working or not.

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    We're missing some crucial detail. Something like "oh yeah, I have 10 UI3 clients connected" or "I'm using Blue Iris's RTSP server to serve all my camera streams to someone else 24/7". Besides the CPU usage being crazy, everything else about this looks healthy. There's lots of network traffic...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    23-26c means you've got basically no load on the CPU. Benchmark scores look great though. So I dunno what is going on.

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    H.265 is a newer, more advanced encoding method than H.264, and H.265 is typically a bit more CPU intensive to decode (not nearly enough to explain your problem though). Also some people have done comparisons of H.264 vs H.265 and found that with all else being equal (e.g. bit rate, resolution...

    4k 1/1.2" CMOS sensor with IR

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    If you can't identify a problem with the CPU temperature, then I encourage you to install and run Passmark's PerformanceTest to get a baseline and make sure your system is not having some general performance problem. It'll take about 10-15 minutes or so and you can compare the results for your...

    Blueiris Server 90-100% CPU Usage! Help, I can't figure out why?

    Your machine is overkill powerful for Blue Iris, so there's just definitely something goofy we haven't yet nailed down here. I'd expect CPU usage to be in the ballpark of 10% (higher with remote viewing sessions active). Not 80%+. Lets make sure you got hardware acceleration turned off...

    Do you use a patch panel?

    I have exactly one patch panel and it isn't even rackmount. My house was built in 2003 and this is what I found when I moved in, in 2021. The builders had run coax (for TV) and cat5e cable (for telephone) from this box to nearly every room in the house. The cat5e was just begging to be...

    Clip: Disk Can't Write Fast Enough - is this HDD failing?

    If it is failing then you definitely want to get the important video backed up before you do much else. It may be just slow due to excessive file fragmentation too, especially if the drive is very close to full. Hard to say without running some diagnostic tools. Western Digital has a program...

    Blue Iris run as a VM or Docker

    Correct. You can only have one machine activated at a time, and if you try to activate and get told your key has been activated too many times, you need to contact Blue Iris Support to have it reset. Yes it will work fine in a VM.

    That will be a tricky one. There's no built-in URL parameter for setting the audio volume, and web browsers normally require a user interaction such as a mouse click, before audio can be played on a website. You can use a ui3-local-overrides.js file to unmute and set the audio volume. I've...

    Config tool site not secure issue

    Of course. Nobody wants to feed the power separately when they have PoE available. This is just a diagnostic test to better pin down the issue. At this point I'm not 100% convinced you don't just have an IP address conflict or something.
