    IP cam network separation?

    Yes, exactly. Hardware I do have. My Ruckus ICX 8200 can do all I want and more than I need incl. 25 GBit.

    IP cam network separation?

    Thank you for the picture and the explanation. The point of having a physically separated network is clear to me. I guess my statement regarding VLAN and physical network as equal was misleading. I was referring to my three scenarios a, b and c. THe physical separation brings additional...

    IP cam network separation?

    Thank you. This is what I describe with (a). If they are directly physically connected or via VLAN I consider as the same network connection scenario.

    IP cam network separation?

    For simplicity currently my IP cams are on my "standard network" together with by Blue Iris server and other devices. I want to separate the network of the IP cams but I am not yet sure which direction to go. a) I could put al IP cams in a dedicated VLAN and connect this additionally to the BI...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    You cannot do anything wrong as long you keep your video recording separated for other data storage. If you have a cheep option, go for it.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    I use a SAS3008 HBS controller in combination with SAS HDD as well in my server. But this I do not use for BI. It is used as passthrough device in my TrueNAS server that is running virtualized. For BI a lot of people here recommend HDD that are optimized for continuously recording: Western...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    This portability is the only advantage I see in using passthrough disks.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    For most cases it is a good practice to do so, but not perfect. I backup my BI in this way. For systems running databases or other data with risk for inconsistency the safe way is to shutdown the system first. The alternative is a so called application aware backup where the backup software...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Let me explain in simple words. This is not BI or Proxmox specific. A backup is a full copy stored at a different location (disk, server). This allows a recovery if you system is broken incl. full disk lost. Each backup uses the size of the vm and backup time is slow. (compression and...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    This comment is not only related to BI. PCI passthrough is a more complex topic in the context of virtualisation. It requires the features to be supported by the involved hardware. This makes it difficult to make specific recommendations for your environment. However, since you already have the...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Blue Iris, as a Windows application, runs as well in a VM as on bare metal, provided you're comparing like with like. This means providing the same amount of resources, such as CPU power and RAM. Many are running BI on Proxmox, I am running it on XCP-ng. More complex it gets when you want to...

    BlueIris - file operation when moving recordings?

    Thank you. This is a recommendation what to do. But it does not answer my question what Blue Iris internally is doing. A move command under windows on the same drive would not utilize CPU and disk writes in a noticable way.

    BlueIris - file operation when moving recordings?

    Hello, what windows file operation Blue Iris is using when moving recording to a new folder? My folder for "New" and "Stored" are on the same hard drive. When I use the move command under windows, moving a file only will change the directory entry without need to re-write the complete file...

    IVS bounding box in rtsp stream?

    Hello, in the live view in the Dahua web interface I can see the bounding for the ivs rules. Is it possible to add these bounding boxes as overlay in the rtsp stream to be visible in other applications?

    XProtect Express+ License System

    Thank you. This helps. But this confuses me. A camera with one with sub channel video and audio is all together one device License? This is what I would expect. The text above says something different.

    XProtect Express+ License System

    Hello, I am running Blue Iris as home user with two cameras since a while. I have tested Frigate a while ago. Just now I had a quick look in Milestone XProtect and I liked it. The former free version Essential+ is not available any longer. Unfortunately I do not understand their license system...

    Very strange issue and need help please

    What video encoding you are using on the camera stream? H.265 or H.264? I could imagine that H.265 is causing these artefacts in movements.

    Blue Iris + Dahua(EmpireTech) IVS Setup Questions

    Thank you for this hint. I will check once I find time for playing around. Maybe I have a delay in the stream received by BI. Just guessing. But basically no Issue I have for real live situation. I want to detect persons and this so far is running fine. The issue I got with animals that are...

    Blue Iris + Dahua(EmpireTech) IVS Setup Questions

    Blue Iris + Dahua(EmpireTech) IVS Setup Questions

    OK. My wording could lead to misunderstanding. Fast I would consider to trigger by motion detection with Blueiris, do AI object detection in Blueiris and cancel or alert depending on the result of the object detection. Trigger and event are close together and influenced by moten detection in...

    Blue Iris + Dahua(EmpireTech) IVS Setup Questions

    I like the concept of using the IVS of the camera to detect and trigger via onvif and Blueiris for recording. The downside I have discovered is a time delay between event and trigger. For just recording you can increase the pre-trigger recording time. But if you want to use AI in Blueiris to do...

    Continuously recording and video clips with different retention time

    Yes, I believe this is clear to me. There are three options in Blue Iris: Database only, JPEG or MP4/BVR file. These pictures or clips will be stored in the Alert folder and their retention will follow the setting of this folder. I believe this setting "Export to MP4/BVR" + "replace" will lead...

    Continuously recording and video clips with different retention time

    Thank you for answer. I did not listed this option as it does not provide an automatic retention I was looking for. Additionally, in combination with continuously recording, it keeps the complete recorded "block" and not just the sequence that has been triggered. This function of retention is...

    Continuously recording and video clips with different retention time

    Hello, What is the best way to achieve the following use case? Continuously recording with short retention time (about 3 weeks) Video clips of (confirmed) alerts with long retention time (about 3 month) I thought this could be a common use case. But it looks like this only is possible to...

    Dahua / EmpireTech AI IVS rule as ONIVF trigger in Blue Iris

    Thank your for the detailed explanation. A part of this I already found somewhere before. But this line does the trick I was looking for: a separate IVS for person, animal and vehicle to be able to distinguish in Blue Iris.

    Dahua / EmpireTech AI IVS rule as ONIVF trigger in Blue Iris

    How can I fully utilize the ONIVF trigger information from my EmpireTech camera in Blue Iris? So far I am quite fine with the IVS AI rules in my EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3. Blue Iris can receive the IVS rule trigger by ONIVF. The camera itself can do object detection for person, vehicle and...

    Best wall-mounted touch screen viewer of feed?

    This is what I am using as a display for my home automatization since now 10 years. I am more an Android fan. But back in these days I decided for an used iPpad because it looked more "stylish" when mounted on the wall and I could find more good looking wall mounts for iPads. Noways you can find...

    Run Blue Iris Tools as admin on startup automatically without disabling UAC

    BI has a build-in function to configure it to run as Windows service. This will give you the same result to start-up BI but less complicate.
