    Blue Iris UI3

    @DarkHelmet Ok I figured out the problem. I've sent a comprehensive bug report to Blue Iris support. In the meantime, Name/value needs to match the preset # but description can be whatever you want as long as it is not empty. If either of those columns is empty, it creates a gap in the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @DarkHelmet If there is a bug it is probably on Blue Iris's end. Look at the camera properties in Blue Iris. PTZ/Control tab. Click "Edit presets". This shows all your presets in a table. Under normal circumstances the "#" column should match the "Name/value" column, and the descriptions...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    Using optane for the database won't make a difference for timeline seeking. I'm fairly certain all the database operations involved in the timeline feature are happening in RAM anyway. The timeline's database operations are very, very fast (the database is queried when you drag the timeline...

    Error using Ngrok to access Bi

    There are two kinds of video delay measured by UI3. You can see both of these graphed in the "Stats for nerds" panel (right click the video player). 1. Network Delay (The estimated video delay caused by insufficient network speed. Values of a few hundred milliseconds are completely normal and...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    That Xeon server probably draws 2x the power of the i7-8700 while performing slower. I would not overclock a CPU for Blue Iris. That makes it less efficient, less stable, and may shorten its life. In fact my main BI machine is a Ryzen 9 5950x, and it was having heat/cooling problems, so in...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    As a footnote, I will say, if for some reason you were allergic to sub streams and wanted to absolutely avoid them, then the best Blue Iris build would likely be a high-end server with 8+ memory channels and one CPU socket with a beast of a single-thread performing server CPU in it (maybe 16...

    i7-8700 quicksync or cheap xeons dual socket from aliexpress?

    Both single and multi core performance are important in different ways. This is an oversimplification, but single core performance roughly determines how well any individual camera will work. Faster single core performance means you can run a camera at higher resolutions and frame rates with...

    Project Farm Tests Security Cameras | This will shock you.

    The average person is like a deer in headlights when you talk about IP addresses, RTSP, or even drilling holes and running cable. If they can't set it up in 10 minutes from unboxing to watching on their cell phone then it might as well not exist.

    BI showing main and substreams

    Yup, it is natural for new settings like that to have a default configuration that retains the previous behavior. I didn't know that setting existed before this thread.

    Exporting Issue

    Because the main stream is only recorded while the camera is triggered. You can lengthen the amount of time the main stream is recorded if you adjust your trigger settings in the Trigger tab and buffer/record times in the Record tab.

    Exporting Issue

    Are you using dual streaming (sub stream and main stream)? If so, look at what is selected in the "Stream select" dropdown box in the Convert/export window. My guess is you're only ending up with the main stream, and if you want it to switch between sub and main streams like it does in the...

    Camera to watch over garden

    You can also just search amazon for poe to 9v power and find plenty of 802.3af standard PoE compliant splitters, like this one: https://amazon.com/dp/B01JCKHIGM (if you prefer to use a standard PoE switch to power the cam)

    OMG, Xfinity Gateway WILL NOT open the port

    If you're planning to stick with this ISP for more than a year or two, then yes, you are better off not renting hardware from them. If your router's interface tells you that your public IP is the same as the one listed in an Open Port checking tool, then port forwarding SHOULD work, and there...

    Camera to watch over garden

    If it is a small garden, I think you can just buy a motion activated sprinkler. But the camera approach is more fun especially when your wife bends down and gets mistaken for a deer.

    OMG, Xfinity Gateway WILL NOT open the port

    Oh also, depending on your service plan, your ISP may be charging you a monthly fee for router rental, which they may be calling wifi service or some other cryptic name. If that is happening, see if you can return the router and use your own to get out of paying the rental fee. Those fees tend...
