    Version 6.0.1

    This is good news. Finally gives us a reason to upgrade to v6 and not have to use CPAI.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    I do the same as you. I try to find cases that have multiple external 5.25 bays (which is harder and harder to find) and then I buy the Star Tech or Icy Dock caddies so I have easy external access to the drives without having to dig inside the case. They aren't hot swappable like true SAS...

    Version 6

    This is a question for @bp2008

    Version 6

    V6 is already marked as stable. You will never be able to go from v5 to v6 without downloading the new installer.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    No. I exclude the backup of the passthrough drives. Proxmox then backs up the virtual disk of the BI VM only. No downtime required.

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    How are you determining it’s not working? I’ve been doing daily backups of my BI VM for years in Proxmox. The virtual disk of the BI vm that holds the OS is on a SSD but I pass through several hard drives for BI to actually write recordings to. I don’t backup those. I only backup the root BI OS...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    I've run BI in Proxmox for years. No issues at all.

    Version 6

    Yeah, I'm not sure either. One of my systems has that button greyed out. The other two do not.

    Version 6

    Does the auto-renew being greyed out mean that you setup your credit card to "auto renew" at anniversary so you don't need to do anything??

    Version 6

    Here is one of my BI VMs in Proxmox. Normal V5 CPU usage is around 6.5% on this particular VM. Installed V6 on it at the large CPU usage spike (17%). Running V6, it appears there is a 2% increase in CPU usage on average going to that version from the previous V.5 version. So I was wrong. I...

    Version 6

    I'm not really seeing any CPU % differences. My system stays around 10 - 15% all the time.

    Version 6 Beta

    Yeah there is a bug with the new installer and getting UI3 running. You have to run the installer twice now to get UI3 working.

    Version 6

    Had the same UI3 problem. Uninstalling and re-installing it again fixed it for me as well.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I just bought two more of the 4K-X cams instead of the TIOC. Since I have a ton of white light where I’m putting them, this cam makes more sense that the Tioc cam from the other thread.

    Loosing my patience with BI, what have they done to it..

    Was addressing the OP.

    Version 6 Beta

    Also do this with my setup. Using ivs on my ~50 cam setup across 3 BI installations is wonderful so I never have to use CPAI.

    Loosing my patience with BI, what have they done to it..

    You downloaded his “stable” build which is 5.9.9.73? If you installed his latest available, those are betas and are not stable. Those are akin to nightly builds. He is in the process of pushing out ver 6 so there has been a ton of work the last month with new builds.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Thanks @bigredfish for these tests. I'm going to try one of these 4M-Ts. I like the fact it can switch from IR to color even if the light isn't super bright. Is there another camera that can do this (switch from IR to color with light upon motion/IVS trigger)?

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Do they make this camera in a bullet? I'd like to mount it up on a pole. Are you guys still happy with this cam? I really wanted to go with another 4k-x but that camera can't turn on its warm lights upon motion detection like this camera can which is something I need.

    I’m waiting for a stable. You guys can be beta testers still!

    Clip: Disk Can't Write Fast Enough - is this HDD failing?

    I still get those messages occasionally. I just chalk it up to BI doing BI things.

    Commercial license for $40/month??

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Are you saying that BI is a deal at $480/year compared to $800/year? I pay $34.95/year for BI at my retail business. I'll be damned if I am going to fork over ~13x that now.

    Commercial license for $40/month??

    Saw this post over on Reddit: His maintenance pricing grid layout is confusing if that is not what he intends. As I read it, you need a commercial license to allow "commercial use".

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    If a 1/6 shutter works for whatever weird situation you have then rock on. It won't allow for a positive ID of any kind of fast moving target like someone walking quickly or running but if you don't care about that then you might as well go whole hog and run a 5 second+ shutter and be done with...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Yup. a 1/6 shutter will make any camera look good at night for static images with no motion. Set the shutter to 1/125 and lets see how that looks.

    Using iPads and iPad Minis as UI3 Dedicated Viewers - Something has broken

    Report the problem to @bp2008 and BI support and roll back to a stable version of BI while they look at it.

    Blue Iris UI3

    This. I love BI but, man, I feel like the software is still stuck in the 90s in some ways. Maybe v.6 will change my mind.
