    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    All 3 cameras are v3 hardware, running 4.36.16.7064. Multiple cameras restarts required, so keep trying! And/or put Claude AI on the case to troubleshoot.

    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    And Audio must be enabled in the camera settings. Per Claude: I now have 3 of these working at 2 different locations.

    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    I finally got it working. This required: Turning off RTSPS in the v3 camera: BlueIris doesn't support RTSPS, and Claude reports that Wyze's RTSPS implementation is broken anyway. I couldn't even connect via VLC. And Ken says RTSPS support is not currently high on his priority list. When you...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Who adjusted the aim on my camera? I set up an IP camera to make a long time-lapse of my grape vine growing up my trellis. A few days ago I noticed that the angle had changed, which is weird because the camera is tucked up under my eaves, in an area where nobody goes. Well, maybe not nobody.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    She was supervising! It's a very important job. But she contributed significantly effort at the end; it was really hard to pull uphill, even on that gentle slope. We were both sweating by the time we were finished.

    Max towing speed on that splitter is 45 mph, and it was an hour away by freeway. But yes, for local service visits &c, I can tow it. Now I just have to get a hitch installed on my own car.

    Unloading this 525 lb. log splitter was an adventure! No one could have predicted how this would end, well, except everyone :rofl: Don't ever ask me to engineer a ramp, nor design an unloading procedure

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    First (and only?) coyote pup of 2026: I normally see pups earlier, and usually a litter of 3-5, and once as many as 7. So maybe they're having a tough year, or maybe she's been taking them on a different route.

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    It's available again, for $505, which is actually quite reasonable given today's RAM prices. This makes an excellent BI machine, out of the box, without any additional upgrades other than storage.

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I think I'm starting to see the light on this approach. At work I found myself with a need to host a public-facing web server from an on-prem machine, which scares the bejeezus out of me, based on my latest experience with port-forwarding. Then I realized that I could spin up a VM on a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmm. Did something change in this recently? I scaled everything the way I want and turned off Fit to Viewport, and it looks correct in Timeline if I'm current/live: but if I go back in time even one tick, I get these small black areas between the cameras: if I go forwards to Live, then the...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I'm running 28+ cameras on a cheap refurb PC that I got off of amazon for $372 a year ago (costs more now), and it's been zero hassles. I migrated from an even cheaper PC that had been running BI for 4 years, and migration was as easy as moving over the config file. My storage space is a JBOD...

    It was all Claude! I was just watching. It was actually funny; Claude was soooo convinced that 100% of my performance issues were because of this logging thing, and then when it found the malware it actually put exclamation points on its response put its response in ALL CAPS:

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    Unfortunately, no: Your input can't be opened VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480'. Check the log for details. Nor does: https://user:[email protected]:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    No luck. I've put it in as Generic/MJPEG Stream, but no combination of port number in the URL or in the Media port or Discovery port results in video. I always get an HTTP 400: Bad Request. And I have the protocol set to https, exactly as it is in my working browser link, and the path to the...

    My cat is at a specialty vet for radio iodine therapy, and they've provided me with a link to her live webcam: https://webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480 plus a case-sensitive username and password. These work in my browser, and I'm watching her now. I can't...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I went wayyyyy down the rabbit hole in this, and asked Claude to do a controlled test of CPU and RAM usage in the container, of the old logging routine vs its new logging routine, under a set of simulated loads and current log-file sizes (since the pathology is a function of both)...

    Closing the port forward would stop the crypto miner from getting out, but it won't clean it from the container. You'll want a fresh pull from GitHub to ensure a fresh image.

    Bad news and good news on this: I put Claude on the case this morning, and the problem isn't the application, it's MALWARE!!!!! I had stupidly opened a port-forward the ALPR container, assuming that my ridiculously long password would protect me. The app is built with Next.js 15.0.3, which has...

    I did try this, but I didn't get the result I expected. The wider camera just got wider, and it didn't force the 2nd camera to the bottom row.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I figured it out. My problem was that, in all my experimentation I had clicked Align to grid in the console's group layout mode: That was causing both problems, e.g. the scaling up of the half-width dummy images and the left-alignment of the lower 2 cameras. Once I unchecked Align to grid I...

    Blue Iris UI3

    And now I think this is the answer to my first question, which is to create two black "padding" cameras to flank the camera I want to be top-center. I'm trying to figure out what the right sizes are. If I create 2 at 848 x 480, I get the top camera centered in the top row (good), but the whole...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hrm. In the midst of attempting this, I somehow dragged one my cameras out of the frame in the Edit Layout view of the BI console, and it moved itself into some other set, as another #1, and I can't figure out how to get back into the same set. It's still part of the group, and if I remove and...
