    New build recommendations/ideas

    I am a long time BI user that hasn't done much customization but since the current PC is flaking out I built a new Franken-box with 64G RAM, an Intel 14th Gen processor (28 cpus) 1x1TB and 1x4TB M.2 SSD's and a Gigabyte 3060 video card, and thought I might explore AI. Yes, I know the hardware...

    Uniview LightHunter IR Mini PTZ Dome (IPC6312LR-AX4-VG) experiences

    Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with this Uniview camera? I think Uniview is a rebrand that Nelly's is selling but I could be wrong. "UNV 2MP NDAA-Compliant LightHunter IR Mini PTZ Dome IP Security Camera (IPC6312LR-AX4-VG)"

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    I dropped the Bluecherry VM, stuck with Blueiris, and went on to break plenty of other stuff on my home network :). I liked the idea of running a linux camera server but I liked paying BI support $49/year even more than the hassle of switching and possibly paying more.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    A few years ago I tried Bluecherry for a few months but not with any AI. Things were not always quite "polished". I contacted the devs about some issues and even gave them ssh access through my firewall to the Bluecherry VM so they could tinker and test. Seemed like there was always another...

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    How long do you realistically think you will have that camera for? Newer models with neater features are coming out rather frequently ... how many years until your cam is EOL and no more software updates? I would think a properly sealed box will outlast the camera.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    I am trying out Shinobi right now, thanks.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Hello and thanks for the suggestion. I use pfSense firewall and block all cameras from internet access and VPN in to view them live. I don't often find myself remotely looking at previously recorded video so thats not going to be a problem. I'll look at Frigate shortly.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    An update on my bluecherry experience ... I installed the server component on an Ubuntu VM and the client on an Ubuntu desktop. I had a few problems configuring some cameras and the devs were very responsive. After a whirlwind of back and forth, and even punching a hole in my firewall for...

    Amcrest cameras and Blue Iris

    I run Blueiris and 12 of my 16 cameras are Amcrest (IP4M-1041, IP4M-1190, IP5M-T1179E, and IP5M-1190), indoor and outdoor, purchased from Amazon, with the oldest purchased in Oct 2021. All are PTZ and they all run wired (no wifi) and have been fine for at least the past year. They are not POE...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Oops, forgot to comment on the BI docker suggestion... I read some time ago, maybe in camera forums, that the BI dev did not support a BI docker. Well, at least at that time. Not wanting to go too far out on a limb without some type of support, I decided to not go that route.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Thanks for the reply. I did look at Unraid a few years ago and had a bad experience (don't recall why now). TBH I actually started down my insane path with MS Windows Storage Server before they wrecked it. I now run one Synology array (only using it for NAS), and it backs up to a desktop PC...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    I see there has not been any new discussion on this topic in about a year... I too am interested in a Linux flavored NVR. I have used BI for several years and it does work fine on its Windows PC but I would like to explore a unix implementation, simply because I want to. I have been testing...

    IP4M-1041B constantly trying to contact AWS, bug or deliberate?

    I have several IP4M-1041 cameras with manually set IP's and none of mine appear to be reverting to or keeping Google DNS IPs. They all took my pfsense IP for DNS and have not reverted. I have also seen the same activity on my "non cloud" cameras. The only legitimate reason I can think of that...

    Amcrest IP5M-1190w Event Motion Detection (and Blueiris)

    Seems then I'm better off just using BI motion detection and skip the camera features.. Thanks.

    Amcrest IP5M-1190w Event Motion Detection (and Blueiris)

    No idea. I just set the Sensitivity to high and walked around the car but the camera did not follow. Maybe I am invisible?
