    I do understand the difference, but Dell, HP, Apple, etc... are not immune from "tampering" during the manufacturing process. Plus, you cannot say 100% that Dell, HP and Apple do not sub-contract Chinese developers for some or all of their product's firmware. You also have no proof that...

    Dell and HP products are also manufactured in China...just saying.

    Beelink

    I've only had a positive experience for several years with my setup. Low power, small form factor (so can be hidden), newer/faster hardware than an old desktop, etc... Both my SSD and NVMe devices are consumer grade Samsung Pro models and have been going for several years with 24/7 recordings...

    I suppose it depends on your storage needs. My NUC is using a 2TB SATA SSD and 2TB M.2 NVMe in a ZFS mirror on Proxmox and then USB passthrough an external 12TB HDD to the Blue Iris VM. Video is migrated from the BI VM to the external HDD when the VM storage hits about 95%. In total, I get...

    Beelink

    I currently have an Intel NUC 12 Pro NUC12WSHi7 running Proxmox 8.2.4 (ZFS mirror) with BI 5.9.6 (4 cameras) installed on a Windows 11 VM alongside a few other Windows, Linux VMs as well as LXC containers. It's been working great for several years but I'm upgrading to the Beelink SER8 AMD Ryzen...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    I believe you need to generate a CSR and then you can request the CA for the domain you purchased. I generated my CSR using Linux...it's been a minute but this should get you started: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout *DOMAIN*.key -out *DOMAIN*.csr Google that just to double...

    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    Is the Android version of the updated Blue Iris app (3.0.17) not capable of communicating over Stunnel? I've been using Stunnel (setup on pfSense) with Blue Iris for a few years now and can still access UI3 (version 140, Blue Iris version: 5.3.9.8) with a web browser using my Stunnel setup...

    Blue Iris Remote Login Problems

    I cannot get Blue Iris support to respond but even if I could how would they troubleshoot this if there are no log files?

    Blue Iris Remote Login Problems

    I am using the Stunnel (5.50) pfSense package but as a test I changed the port forward to bypass Stunnel but experienced the same issues. Thank you! Disabling the PTZ/Control on every one of my cameras fixed this issue, at least when using the web UI. However, I still experience the...

    Blue Iris Remote Login Problems

    Thanks for the reply! This happens on different WAN connections (e.g. cellular, various public WiFi's) it only does not happen if I'm on my LAN. I can even switch video streams on the BI Android app over cellular with no problems if I first connect to my OpenVPN. It's something about a...

    Blue Iris Remote Login Problems

    I'm experiencing this same issue using Chrome, Firefox (on a PC) and the BI Android app. Currently running Blue Iris Release 5.0.4.4 x64 and I'm able to log into the web UI (as well as Blue Iris Android app 5.0.4.4) just fine on and off my LAN. However, when OFF my LAN and trying to switch...

    How long to wait for reply from support -- do they ever reply?

    I like that Digital Watchdog can run on Linux, I've wanted that with BI for the longest time! Have you had personal experience with any of those VMS? If so, did they actually assist you with technical issues?

    How long to wait for reply from support -- do they ever reply?

    It's been two weeks and three follow-up emails with no response on a separate issue. Would you mind sharing the other VMS options you speak of?

    How long to wait for reply from support -- do they ever reply?

    I'm on week two with three follow-up emails and still no BI response on a separate issue. That's very poor customer service IMO, especially for a paid product. I'm not disagreeing with this and it could entirely be an issue on my end...my frustration is the lack of any kind of response from...

    How long to wait for reply from support -- do they ever reply?

    Blue Iris is a great product and I have used it for several years now. However, poor customer support can overshadow a great product especially when support is supposedly included with the license purchase: I'm now experiencing a timeout issue when viewing one video stream and then jumping to...
