    Video Quality in BI5

    I just tried that (putting main stream path into both main and sub boxes), and Blue Iris reports that it is using both main and sub streams, both with the same resolution and frame rate. I find that concerning. Without investigating further, it seems likely that Blue Iris is applying full dual...

    I'm urgently looking for a PTZ outdoor camera with certain setting options

    I'm not aware of any PTZ with autotracking that behaves like you are asking for. You would be much better-served by one or more 180 degree dual sensor cameras like @wittaj is recommending. They will give you an uninterrupted, reliable capture showing where people went. A PTZ would zoom in but...

    Video Quality in BI5

    That is a strange idea @TonyR, putting the main stream URL into both the main and sub stream boxes. I would just leave the sub stream path box empty if I didn't want to use a sub stream. Seems like a safer and more intuitive way to get the desired single-stream behavior. @David Morcos If you...

    Shrink-flation: Post your examples

    I started the year with a new TOTO K300 bidet set and as a consequence, one roll of toilet paper is now lasting me about 5-6 months (as the sole user of that toilet).

    dead blue iris computer and recovering account for new computer

    If you filled in your name and email in the "Registration" section of the About tab, that helps Blue Iris support locate your key. Otherwise I suspect they could still look it up based on the email you used when your purchased, if you purchased directly from blueirissoftware.com

    dead blue iris computer and recovering account for new computer

    If you do can't find your old license key or get it recovered by support, then you need to buy the regular blue iris license, not a support renewal.

    Need new( or ) used hardware, must be SFF or mini

    How much storage space are you looking to have? If you need a 3.5" HDD then an SFF (small form factor) refurb like looney linked would be a good choice if it will fit within your space constraints. Otherwise you can get smaller mini PCs at decent prices but they are not big enough for a 3.5"...

    Remote Access to View EmpireTech Camera?

    Currently you have not given us enough information to allow us to be very helpful. We don't know why you have two routers at the same location or how those are configured or how they interact. We don't even know what brand or model of routers they are. When you connect your router to a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Nothing sticks out to me as problematic in that configuration. There's so much that could be going on in a corporate environment in terms of web proxying for virus scanning and other purposes, it could be tough to track down the cause. Blue Iris's video streaming uses a long-running HTTP...

    Some idiot keeps adding cameras...

    FYI Oracle Cloud has a pretty unbelievable free tier which would do a great job of hosting a little linux VM with Zerotier and a reverse proxy server to replace what you have at Vultr. But if you can live with ZeroTier by itself with no reverse proxy, that is actually the more secure option...

    Some idiot keeps adding cameras...

    :) The i7-10700 is less than half the performance. I wouldn't buy one, but especially not at $440. That is about double what I think is reasonable for it.

    Blue Iris UI3

    @ericINT You can see a working nginx configuration example here: Using UI3 with a reverse proxy server This may be a case where Nginx Proxy Manager makes your task harder since last time I used it, it only has a very simple configuration interface that does not expose all the nginx options...

    Anti-dither or equivalent in BI?

    Yes. I don't know how long "minimum time since trigger" has been in there but it looks like exactly what you're asking for.

    automatic resolution & framerate downgrade if footage is older than some threshhold

    It really depends on the exact capabilities of the video processing hardware and also the efficiency of the transcoding pipeline. If the GPU can ingest compressed video and output compressed video, never needing to output and re-ingest the uncompressed images through its PCIe link, then there's...

    automatic resolution & framerate downgrade if footage is older than some threshhold

    I don't think anyone has built software to manage progressively increasing the compression of video as it ages. At least nothing consumer-ready. Although that is a nice sounding concept, it is not practical. Consider that in order to achieve your goals, you would need a system that is capable...
