    Tool to convert BVR to MP4

    Is there a tool in existence which will convert a BVR to standard .mp4 files? I found this: GitHub - Botts85/bvr2mp4: Convert proprietary Blue Iris AVC .bvr files to .mp4 files, but it looks a little rough and states itself that it does not preserve audio. The use case for this is to be able to...

    Blue Iris CPU: Utilization, Specs.

    No doubt something that has been asked many times before. What is more important for BI, CPU clock speed or CPU cores? I understand that BI can make good use of multiple cores, but what is the minimum required single-core clock for streaming to UI3 etc etc without issues? Currently, I have a...

    UI3 Camera Layout options.

    In UI3, we have some useful Dynamic Group layout functionality, which is great for optimizing the layout of the cameras. However, in some situations, I would prefer to have a "rigid" grid layout, and if a cameras aspect ratio doesn't quite fit, blank space occurs around that specific camera...

    BI AI on older GPU cards?

    I am in the process of configuring new BI server (on some older hardware). I have a Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU in the system, which I am considering potentially using for AI tasks within BI (or CPAI). However, I am aware this is an older card, and wondered about compatibility with the AI models...

    Importance of Sensor Size for LPR

    Disclaimer: I am not experienced in LPR! Context: I have an old Hik turret which I decommissioned, replaced with an EmpireTech, because it is 4MP on a 1/3, and thus performs terribly in low light. However, I wondered about repurposing it for something useful, instead of doing nothing. It...

    IPCT Store / BI License

    I need to purchase a BI license. I accessed the IPCT store, but have two challenges. The first being that I am struggling to actually login to the store at all! The second being that the BI licenses are showing out of stock. So, I contacted IPCT (https://ipcamtalk.com/misc/contact), about both...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Thinking of deploying a new BI machine, and wondering whether to run in a VM or not. I have yet to get some hardware to run the system, but I thought that if BI was running in a Windows VM, I would be able to utilize any spare capacity on the server with other VM's, which could make the system...

    ONVIF messing with time on EmpireTech IPC.

    I have been setting up a B54IR-Z4E from Andy, which has been a great cam. However, I have one issue, not specific to the cam exactly which I cannot seem to solve. I have the cam added to a Hikvision NVR for continuous recording purposes, via ONVIF. This works quite nicely. However, due to some...

    Day/Night Switch on Dahua DH-IPC-HDW1530T-S6

    Anyone have experience with the DH-IPC-HDW1530T-S6? I am trying to configure separate settings (mainly shutter and gain) for Day & Night, however I am having some difficulty. This is the web UI: You can see there are 3 profiles to choose. What I want to do is configure my settings for Day...

    EmpireTech web interface questions.

    I just installed my first EmpireTech camera, a B54IR-Z4E-S3. Below are a couple of questions regarding the web interface, which I am obviously still familiarizing with. 1. How do I (or can I?) install a HTTPS TLS certificate into the camera? On Hikvision's which are I am slightly more familiar...

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    So I have 2x Hikvision IP cameras currently covering a specific area. 1 is a DS-2CD2325FWD-I, with the 2.8mm lens, and this is a great overview camera, but, as you would expect, and especially since it is mounted quite high, it is no good for anything beyond Observe or maybe Recognize in the...

    Hik NVR struggling to record RTSP streams reliably from certain cameras

    Got a problem which currently has me stumped. At a remote site, I have a typical PoE NVR, which is branded as SPRO, but I believe it is a re-branded Dahua unit. Connected to this NVR are some 10 IP cameras. I did not install this system myself, but rather inherited it, so I cannot explain why...
