OpenVPN from your remote device(s) to a device inside your network. secure, simple, effective.

I run CP AI on a separate PC from my BI install. My AI PC also runs my media server, ad blocker, wifi controller and a few other odds and ends. 8 camera using AI, and I do not use GPU. My AI PC cpu rarely goes above 40% and my BI PC is usually around 20% with substreams.

Is it possible? yes. Is it practical for most situations? not so much. It would be a 24/7 up from the camera and a 24/7 down to the BI PC and most home networks/connections are not meant for that type of constant use. If moving forward, a site-to-site VPN (as said above, OpenVPN would be my...

This is a work PC and currently cannot run IE ( I will investigate/request it but am not optimistic). When i click the link to download the plugin in Chrome or Edge it takes me to the Chrome Store. Any other suggestions I can try while waiting on an answer re: IE? Thank you

I just purchased this camera, it arrived today and and I have it setup with Blue Iris and working well. BUT...i cannot get the video to load in the web interface in chrome. I download the plugin from the chrome store, open it, enter IP, then on the login page enter the correct username and...

Yes, use an application to stream the desktop in a format that Blue Iris can ingest.

I would look at using VLC (free) or Desk Camera (paid) or a similar application.

you need the unifi protect app for those cameras. I strongly doubt that the cameras have an option that will allow a non-Ubiquiti solution.

have you tried to set up a clone camera, mask it and use it for AI images?

I think this should do it.... Right click on the .bvr file, Select Open With. Check Always use this app to open Select More Apps Select Look for another app on this PC navigate to: C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\ Select BlueIris.exe Save and open ....if/when you want the Admin version of Blue...

I have used DeepStack and CodeProject. When it is all done, i found that Deepstack was a little simpler to install but lacked some of the niceties of CodeProject and detected slower. CodeProject was not difficult to install, had a decent gui (which makes life easier much of the time), and...

if you are really that concerned about someone pulling slack cable, put a terminal box/junction box and then plug a short cable from the camera to the box.

Can you use the Pi to view the UI3 page?

As SouthernYankee has said, follow the wiki to the letter. there are optimizations in it that seem like they would make little/no difference but in reality can make a large difference. I have run BI for several years and been through some rough releases and learned that unless there is a need to...

possible, yes. a good idea, probably not. a few quick thoughts.... 1st the remote site with the cameras will need a solid, fast, unthrottled internet connection to upload camera streams continuously. 2nd the remote site will need an always on VPN to the home site. 3rd routes will need to be...
