My Dell has pretty good specs. It's an I-7 8700 CPU @ 3.20 GHz 6 core with 32.0 GB of ram. I replaced the 1TB HDD with a 500Gig Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD for the OS and program. I also installed a 6TB Purple Drive drive for recording. This was all fresh in Jan. 2019. But as soon as I open Blue...

At my California house I have 11 3MP and 3 2MP cameras on a PoE switch. Also connected to the switch is a 16 Ch NVR I currently use for recording and of course the output to my AT&T modem/router. I have the NVR connected by the VGA output to my computer monitor. I also have Blue Iris 5 on...

That info is reassuring. The thing is I live in California and the cameras will be at my son's house in Arkansas. So all my viewing will be remote. Currently he has a Night Owl 1080 HD-AHD DVR setup with 11- 1080P cameras and 3 - 720P cameras. Haven't had many problems with it. But his rated...

We are in the process of buying a house in a rural area where the only internet available other than satellite is fixed wireless. The max available speed is 6 Mbps down and 1Mbps up and no data caps. Will this be a viable solution for viewing hi def security cameras on a computer? I hope I am...

Thanks for the quick reply. Honestly I wasn't paying close attention when browsing Newegg. Didn't notice it was only the 10 and 12GB drives that were available in 7200 rpm. I'm only interested in the 4 to 6GB drives anyway. Great! Saved some cash too. Thanks again.

I am receiving my new computer tomorrow. It's a Dell 8930 I7-8700 and is fitted with a 1TB HDD. I plan to install a 256GB PCIe SSD that I already have for the OS and BI software and replace the 1TB HDD with a 6TB WD Purple HDD. While looking on Newegg.com for the HDD I noticed the purple drives...

Thank you very much. I think I can proceed from here for awhile. But I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future. Hopefully these questions and answers will be helpful to someone else just starting out with Blue Iris.

Thanks again. Just a couple questions on the SSD to clear things in my mind. Am I correct in that I want to clone the computer OS to the SSD and install BI on it? Then format the HDD and use it exclusively for video recordings? In other words no video clips on the SSD? Would archiving a few...

Thank you. Now I just need to get a computer to dedicate to the Blue Iris Software. I understand I'll need a 6th Gen I7 or later machine. Should I look for Win10 Pro or is the home edition satisfactory? Also I saw the recommendation for an SSD and a HDD. I'm assuming the HDD should be as big as...

I have 8 LV-PZ804N4 4MP cameras connected to a LV-N5216D6E 16 channel NVR. I also have 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-1 4MP cameras. I've had alot of problems with this setup which I mostly attributed to my lack of knowledge in networking, but I've also had problems with the NVR and ATT U-verse...

1st: I'm new to I P setups and have no training at all. Basically just learning from the web, YouTube and the manuals I get with the equipment I buy. So obviously I've made mistakes. In an attempt not to make another here's my situation and questions. I have a 16 channel Laview PoE nvr and 8...

I finally got an answer from LaView to my latest e-mail. They are sending me a RMA to ship my whole system back to them for analysis. 1 of my 8 cameras won't record on motion detection. It never has. It will record, just won't trigger on motion detection. They recently had me send it to them to...

I certainly can't disagree with that. It can be very frustrating when you don't think like a programmer and try to figure out how the darn things work. It's a whole different kind of logic. Then as you learn a few things family and friends want you to teach them. And that's whole other kinda hell.

Hello all. I'm new here. Like 2 minutes ago. I've been reading this forum as a visitor for awhile now and decided to join. I've had my 8 camera nvr setup from Laview for a little over a year now and still have problems with it. Their tech support, although good when you can get in touch with...
