    Reducing CPU Usage

    Windows does have a lot of bloat, but I struggle to accept that a 'healthy' clean install of Windows would use 20% CPU doing nothing. It's interesting.

    Reducing CPU Usage

    So you're saying there is still 20+% CPU use AFTER all cameras are disabled?

    Tool to convert BVR to MP4

    No. I will test it out. I wasn't aware Handbrake could read BVR, thanks.

    Reducing CPU Usage

    H265 has a higher compression, which gives allows for lower bit rates, but this = more compute needed to decode the stream. Shouldn't be causing all that issue but tru changing to H264 for now anyway. Can you post another picture of your Status window, specifically including the MP/s figure...

    Tool to convert BVR to MP4

    I do usually. Just wondered if there was an alternative, for situations like: A) avoiding extra server load / offloading the conversion to another system. B) downloading a few BVRs and then only converting if and when needed. It's not a particularly important requirement, but I wondered if...

    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...

    Nube questions on Blue Iris

    I suppose for multiple monitors, you could run two instances of Ui3 (in two browser windows), with different cameras or camera groups configured on each, and then move these browser windows to the desired monitor.

    Nube questions on Blue Iris

    Remote monitoring (remote as in on another PC) of cameras on a Blue Iris installation is usually done through the Blue Iris Web interface, Ui3, which can be accessed through a browser on another PC (or mobile device).

    iDS-TCM403-BI(G) ANPR camera with latest firmware has no menu option to set HTTP listening! SOS!

    Am I right in thinking you are struggling to get the camera to send HTTP requests at all? In which case, what are you going to do with your parsing code, if you havent got the camera working as you want yet? :idk: :)

    iDS-TCM403-BI(G) ANPR camera with latest firmware has no menu option to set HTTP listening! SOS!

    I don't have any equipment with the latest Hikvision firmware, but have you tested this out? I know that section is called ISAPI, but those parameters look awfully like some sort of "HTTP listening" setup to me...

    iDS-TCM403-BI(G) ANPR camera with latest firmware has no menu option to set HTTP listening! SOS!

    What is your firmware version? Did you check the specs for Http listening support (I cannot remember if Hikvjsiin mention this in the specs usually...) Do you have any screenshota of the Web UI?

    Blue Iris CPU: Utilization, Specs.

    That sounds encouraging regarding my initial thought to increase available cores (at the expense of a little clock) - with more cores available I will likely chuck a couple more at BI for good measure - got more available anyway so why not. Not to mention benefits for other VM's. 100% agree...

    Blue Iris CPU: Utilization, Specs.

    Or maybe not. I tested, and when starting a single, 5MP stream to UI3 from the timeline, utilization increases across all 4 cores, not just one...

    Blue Iris CPU: Utilization, Specs.

    One assumes that single core clock speed is needed for processing a single hi-res feed, such as streaming to Ui3 in 4k, whereas more cores are useful for scaling BI to many cameras. Is this accurate?

    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...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    Tailscale is reportedly a good option if you want to avoid some of the intricacies of manually configuring VPN tunnels.

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    I don't think your can use NordVPN for this. NordVPN and similar services are for tunnelling traffic out to the Internet. Not routing between your equipment. You will need either a VPN server at your HQ, which you camera poles dial into, or a server somewhere else which both your camera poles...

    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...

    Importance of Sensor Size for LPR

    Was this a success? Any issues? I assume you used some kind of "exterior grade" CAT6 - was it true armoured CAT6, or just exterior stuff? Been thinking about some similar possible cable routes in my driveway area.

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    I'll agree with that one. One should also consider that using a direct IPv6 connection is still unencrypted - which would be acceptable to some, but something to avoid for me :thumb: Also services like Shodan have clever ways of attempting to discover hosts in the IPv6 space, which is another...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    OK, from that perspective, I suppose one could consider it "more secure". Fair enough. Technically though the fact someone doesn't know the address is sort of security-by-obscurity...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    Not to be controversial, and I am by no means good at IPv6, but... OK, but this does mean firewall rules will be needed on the remote side (cameras) firewalls, to allow the BI traffic to get to the camera. Unless you have a really terrible firewall that passes inbound IPv6 by default (scary!)...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    Looks like the Inseego FX4100 supports VPN protocols. Setup a VPN server at your HQ, either on the BI PC or another PC / VM, or on your HQ firewall depending on the model. Configure each cellular router to dial an outbound VPN to the HQ - then it doesn't matter if their IP's are not truly...

    Windows Remote Desktop Replacement?

    I have been having no issues with RDP in general. Using either the original RDP client in Windows, or mRemoteNG manager. From a very quick piece of research, Microsoft may be deprecating the remote desktop app from the Store - or replacing it with a new version. However, nowhere have I seen...

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

    And the new camera dialog is messed up. EDIT: The Windows Search UI also suffers from a similar problem on this box, over RDP (the start menu is fine though): So maybe a Windows issue. Funny that it only affects certain components (both in Windows and BI) - some UI elements are fine.

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

    Interestingly, I just RDP'd to the BI server for the first time - instead of using the Hypervisor VNC console. When I started up BI, and got the license prompt (I haven't entered key yet), the font was wrong, as before, AND the scaling was off, just like in this thread. But, once I clicked...

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

    I have just done a clean install of BI 6 in a Server 2022 VM, and have a similar issue - except in my case, the scaling seems fine, but I have the same weird font in the dialog boxes!

    BI AI on older GPU cards?

    Fair enough. I will experiment and see what CPU usage looks like first. I guess unless CPU is too slow or can't cope, hassling with the GPU may not be worth it...

    BI AI on older GPU cards?

    OK, will do that, although I can only install the driver after passing through the GPU obviously (haven't done that yet). Also the "latest" driver from NVIDIA is still from about 2018, and for a slightly older OS version, but I am hoping it'll work OK.
