    UI3 Streaming Quality

    The stutter/pause every second is due to Blue Iris needing more time to process i-frames, so I think it ends up screwing up the frame timing or possibly dropping a frame or two after each iframe when transcoding for the web server. I think there is nothing you can do about that except using the...

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    Somehow Blue Iris thinks your "low res" cam's sub stream is the same resolution as the main stream. And yet that one appears as low resolution. Very strange. You should check that the camera is still configured as shown in the two screenshots above (which is a good configuration). If the...

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    If you right click the video and choose stats for nerds, it will show you the video stream resolution, bit rate, etc which is very helpful for troubleshooting.

    UI3 Streaming Quality

    Choose the 2160p (4K) streaming quality option in UI3 of course. For optimal quality, avoid the VBR profiles as those are relatively low quality on purpose in order to reduce bandwidth usage. However there's another factor involved for many users. Blue Iris before version 5.9.9.54 was...

    Firework falls over

    Apologies for the low resolution. I had to pull this from a 24/7 sub stream recording. I watched this in person as it happened, and could hear the neighbors yelling in panic from 1900ft away. I was laughing my ass off. I actually do have a main stream motion-triggered clip of part of it, but...

    HOA Experience

    Sounds like a lot of time and energy for a job that doesn't pay and everyone hates you for having. Good luck!

    Help diagnosing stretched/squished playback of wide cameras.

    Nvidia encoding in the encoder options could also introduce compatibility problems. I'd run with that turned off. Actually I would recommend resetting the encoder options to defaults. Direct-to-wire in particular can cause issues with UI3 because it doesn't let Blue Iris transcode the video...

    Help diagnosing stretched/squished playback of wide cameras.

    Based on Stats for nerds screenshot, UI3 is requesting a 3840 x 1440 stream, which is the correct aspect ratio, scaled down a little to fit the "4K" 2160p streaming profile. That much is working as intended. But Blue Iris is sending 3840x720 which is definitely wrong and is likely the cause of...

    Question About BI in different locations (how to view in different locations)

    Ok yeah the built-in remote management of multiple systems is pretty bad. It still takes way too long to get connected due to needing to transfer a huge block of clip/alert database info upon connection. The new desktop frame windows seem to be very limited in capabilities. It'll show me any...

    Oh wow I missed those new updates. I need to try that.

    Help diagnosing stretched/squished playback of wide cameras.

    Here are a few things: 1. Try a different web browser to see if behavior is different. 2. Enable UI3 camera labels (also enable for single-camera streams) so you can see where UI3 thinks the camera video is supposed to be rendering: If the width of the label background does not match the...

    Question About BI in different locations (how to view in different locations)

    You only need one Blue Iris license per Blue Iris server. Remote access is done through Blue Iris's built-in web server which allows unlimited remote access without additional licensing. Your best bet for remote access to the WORK BI from home is to use the UI3 web interface which is free and...

    Is ChatGPT right about IP camera settings?

    Lol. With all other settings the same, VBR is never going to deliver higher quality than CBR. The only thing VBR does differently than CBR is dynamically reduce the bit rate below your set limit.

    Amazon deal $70 JUNE 19 2025 : NETGEAR 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS308PP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 83W

    The "prime day deal" on the netgear switch is basically just its regular price. It would be more interesting if it was managed, had 2.5 Gbps support, or an SFP+ slot or two, or all of those things together. That is actually possible under $100 these days, just not usually with well known name...
