    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Ok, on that CPU, 15% extra is roughly one more maxed out CPU core (actually that'd be 13.3%) . If you're getting this much higher CPU usage than before with it just sitting on the "All cameras" view, then I'd have to recommend choosing one of the lower resolution sub streams (and then change...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Depends on which CPU you have and whether you have a sub stream properly configured for that camera. What video resolutions do you see in UI3 (web interface) camera properties for that camera?

    web interface ui timeout = 0 setting?

    That is of course what most people do. In some special cases it is inconvenient though, like if the browser is running in a sandbox that loses its settings between page loads. Yes. Clearing cookies typically clears "local storage" too, which is where UI3 keeps all of its settings. Some...

    Daylight Savings Time.... or not?

    I honestly don't know if Daylight Saving Time is a net win for humanity, or a net loss. Personally I wouldn't mind having it go away if only so computer software would behave a little more predictably during the second 1AM-2AM period that happens every first Sunday in November :)

    web interface ui timeout = 0 setting?

    The timeout=0 parameter needs to be added to a ui3.htm URL. For example: http://blueiris.phoenix.local:81/ui3.htm?timeout=0 If you bookmark/link it that way, the parameter will be properly preserved during the login sequence, so it will take effect when the web interface loads.

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Distortion correction is definitely possible, but it comes with a lot of downsides. (de)warping a digital video results in quality loss, and typically some cropping of the image. It also requires more processing power, more complex software, etc. (this is why not all fisheye cameras support...

    WD now makes some MASSIVE Purple Drives...

    I would not expect any NVR with > 2 TB compatibility to actually have an upper limit. At least, not one that will be reached within our lifetimes given the current pace of data storage development. They probably just wrote the size of the biggest drive they tested with. 2 TB was a common...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Yes, there is a trick. In Blue Iris, you can type your own values in the Image format > Size box. You are not restricted to using predefined items from the dropdown list. Be aware the exact number you enter might not be completely respected by Blue Iris. Blue Iris may slightly tweak the...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    Yes and no. The Hikvision/Annke cameras I linked above have about the same barrel distortion as the Dahua 180 cam which Andy sells (EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T180). It is basically the same as if you got two 90 degree cams and lined them up side by side the same way as is done in these dual lens...

    Football field security -- camera layout/design

    I'm assuming the budget is going to be super small, so for starters I would suggest a dual sensor cam for 180 degree wide angle coverage of the entire field. One of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/286778227395 https://www.ebay.com/itm/286801372064 They are rebranded Hikvision. I have...

    Portforwarding with IPV6

    canyouseeme is trying to connect with IPv4, which simply will not work. You need to use an IPv6 port checking service, like maybe this one: Open Port Checker Tools No. In your example of a ping test, the firewall remembers that a ping request was recently allowed, and it recognizes the reply...

    Portforwarding with IPV6

    In Blue Iris web server settings, make sure the "Bind exclusively" checkbox is NOT CHECKED. Make sure the Windows Firewall settings allow the connection. I like to go into Windows Defender Firewall > Advanced settings > Inbound Rules, and manually create a rule that allows TCP traffic on the...

    Camera over WAN - Video Settings

    Yup, for reasons unknown to anyone but the Blue Iris developer, frame timing from the sub stream is used to control frame presentation of the main stream. This is a known quirk of dual-streaming in Blue Iris, and is easily overlooked! Be aware that one camera with 8192 Kbps bit rate is about...

    Blue Iris run as a VM or Docker

    An Nvidia GPU should be able to accelerate nearly any AI workload as long as there is enough video memory for it. It should be fairly easy to pass through if you use Proxmox as the hypervisor. However just having the GPU available will not help with BI's transcoding. You can specify to Blue...

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

    @jaydeel Thanks for the notice about the change log. I see it is being hosted on the BI website so yeah I can add a link in UI3. Also, the bug where the clip list does not filter properly by camerais almost certainly Blue Iris's fault. For a short term fix I would try logging out via UI3's...

    HELP! 100% CPU on i5-7th gen w/ 4x Reolink. Tried EVERY fix.

    Yup, getting sub streams to work properly is the #1 biggest thing for keeping CPU usage under control, and Direct-to-disk is part of that! Before sub streams were available, we had to resort to tricks like lowering the frame rates of cameras and using hardware accelerated decoding (which has...

    Web Interface Failure and Inaccessible

    I 100% agree with @alastairstevenson last suggestion to bring the camera closer to the PC running the web browser to take as many other devices as possible out of the data path. I would even go further, and connect the camera directly to the PC's network adapter. Static IP addresses will be...

    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    Yeah, Blue Iris doesn't have exhaustive testing before releases, so bugs (and fixes) are frequent. Whether you were aware of it or not, staying on .75 was just asking for clip management bugs :) As a rule, I install every update that Blue Iris releases so I can get early awareness of changes...

    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    It is a silly function, to be sure. But the average person doesn't really understand gigabytes and bit rates at the same level as they understand "7 days" or "30 days". So I figure having the option for an age limit makes people feel more confident in their decisions, and less likely to...

    playback issues

    It is rare for that to actually help! The JavaScript decoder is unable to use hardware accelerated decoding, so it is less efficient, but also less likely to fail because of a bad driver or something.

    playback issues

    The huge CPU and GPU usage spike is concerning. I don't think AI could be causing that because AI analytics happen in a different process than Blue Iris, so the elevated usage would not be attributed to Blue Iris in task manager. The Stats for nerds display is also very puzzling. The graphs...

    Saving Large Chunks of Video from Being Deleted

    You can select multiple clips (hold shift or ctrl) and right click and use the "protect" function. This tells Blue Iris to not delete them. Protected items have a lock icon. If you are using UI3 you can also view the full list of protected items by selecting "Protected" in the second dropdown...

    UI3 slow even crashing my NVR PC

    Well the CPU temperature is not great, but it isn't like it is spending most of its time at 100°C either so it could be worse. I'm not going to rule out heat related damage over the entire life of the system (i7-8700 is pretty old at this point). Having Blue Iris's CPU usage spiking briefly...

    Blue Iris run as a VM or Docker

    That server will be more than powerful enough. Blue Iris is a traditional windows GUI program so it would probably be a waste of time trying to run it in a container/docker. It will work fine in a virtual machine. For a load of 10 cameras, I would allocate at least 10 GB of RAM and 4 to 8 CPU...
