    Blue Iris can't connect on LAN Network

    I just wanted to bring this thread back up as it saved me tonight, so I wanted to say thank you! Somehow this got toggled off recently on my app and would not allow me on LAN or VPN. I toggled back on and it fixed my issue!

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    Thank you all for the help by the way even though I seem pissy. I have spent some time this morning watching videos and going through the WIKI and I think I am making some positive progress. This WIKI is ALOT easier to follow and more straight forward than hour+ videos of incoherent blathering...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    Well I think to be fair he is running proxmox and BI within it, but yea it’s all on an SSD to my understanding

    Main level. BI actually warned me about the folder structure

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    That’s what I thought and planned too, but my son in law who has been using this for years advised me against that logic. Glad to see I was better off trusting my gut. Lol I never like keeping stuff like that on my Os drive. I don’t even have pictures or music on that drive.

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I just set New to go to the Purple and set for 850gb I set stored to go to another folder on that drive and set to 0 I set Alerts to go to that drive to another folder and set to 50gb Currently have constant recording setup as well as triggered events

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    Well mainly because that was the default setting, and secondly because I didn’t have a surveillance drive in prior. So it goes back to me spending more money on adding to my computer than adding an NVR. My son in law that uses BI suggested I would have problems if I used the spindle drive and...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    So I threw an old 1tb purple in. Where my SSD comes into play is that the first 25bg stays on the ssd and anything else after that moves to the spindle drive

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    Thanks. I was offloading to another drive, but it was not a surveillance drive. I will pull my purple out of my old nvr later and see if that helps at all.

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    It’s not quite that serious. I dont live in the ghetto where I fear for my life without cameras. I was just venting on the amount of time is takes to get this running and the resources needed on a pc vs just an nvr. I will run through the wiki a little more this weekend. I feel the sections I...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    It’s amazing because I have like a $1500 build and I am stuck upgrading it to mediocrely run BI. Insert vent: I only went this way because people swear by it. Thus far, this seems to be nothing but convoluted options that require a doctorates in Security to get working. I was hoping for a plug...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I have an old 1tb purple I can try from my old dvr. At this rate I should have just bought a new dvr instead of using BI on a computer. It’s gonna end up costing the same money, just with more headaches it seems.

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I just mentioned that I have a half decent gpu. I am not offloading anything to the GPU, as I have only seen options for Intel to do this. I am literally doing nothing special in BI at this point other than basic locating of cameras and basic motion detection. I have the AI tool loaded and...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I do not use HA as I do not have an intel cpu. I will check the rest of the stuff this weekend and see if I can tweak more Thanks for the advice

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I gotta double check. I feel like live was a smidge choppy in the web url for the cameras until I switched to smooth. I deff notice it in playback on BI. It may be live on BI as well I just setup the app on my Phone as well. I’ll test live in that later

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    I’ll check my cables, as my first time making cables. Even if I screwed up the cables, these won’t chew enough bandwidth to be a bandwidth/network thing. So even if they are 100m vs 1gb, I can never see a camera using more than a couple mb/s at any given time of their life. As I say often...

    Questions on choppiness in video (camera issue or BI issue?)

    So still trying to get things setup and working decently and learning as I go. I have been noticing video playback seems a bit choppy at times. I do not think I have noticed this or Atleast as much on live view from the camera app. I did set to smooth on the camera web page though for good...

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    Thanks much man! This gives me a starting point for sure. I’m sure I will be back with questions, but this gives me working cameras to tweak now.

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    My man!!! My man! Thanks for the suggestions, I am starting to get alerts now! So to my defense, if I was doing everything to not get triggers, why is BI setup like this out of the box? You would think it would be set to do something in default settings, not to not have to setup everything...

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    So my Son came home and his car's headlights in the street egressing the zone on the front camera triggered motion funny enough. All the other settings are at default, so yes the Object Travels is selected currently.

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    I tried with the zones larger as shown attached and the constant recording is going, but the triggers are not triggering.

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    Ok, I will try that. I thought the smaller zones would be more like a tripwire. Let me give that a whirl quick.

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    I really have no clue what I am doing wrong here? I turned off motion detection and zones and AI in the cameras. I set everything up in BI itself and I am not getting triggers. I have the cameras set in BI with motion zones and to trigger when crossing zones, but to record all the time in sub...

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    Thank you. I can try this. Did you need to turn motion detection on in the camera at all and set a zone? Or everything was %100 in BI?

    Having problems with motion detection between Amcrest Cameras and Blue Iris

    Hello all, I just purchased a bunch of Amcrest Cameras. My varifocal and basic dome camera appear to be working solid, but the 180's are giving me a hell of a time recording. What is the correlation between the camera regions/zones and recording settings vs Blue Iris? I would assume I can set...

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Actually, I just found the camera settings in BI. I actually have an Amcrest varifocal camera I was testing as well. Man, it kind of sucks to be missing part of that view, but yea the optical zoom helps tremendously. So I have to play more, but I am thinking if I use what I have sitting here...

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Thank you for confirming. I thought BI was a replacement, not an add on. This helps my tweaking this week. I just purchased the license

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Ok, sounds like I have some homework to do before whipping out the credit card again. I will start googling or looking for some basic setup steps aside from what was posted above. I would deff like to not have to do this all again for sure. Is there any way to do all this stuff natively...
