Yes, best as I can tell you should be OK. M.2's have different "key" specs - looks like this mobo has one key M and one key A. If there is no heat sink for the M.2 slots, might be worthwhile getting the version of the card with an OEM heat sink - these days they seem to go for +$5. This will of...

The Samsung 990 Pro is a M.2 "form factor" card. Does the motherboard in your PC have an M.2 port available? Expansion slots that take cards such as the graphics/video card on a motherboard are usually PCIe.

I was in a similar quandary recently – Win 10 sixth gen i5-6500 CPU running BI in a satisfactory manner. Elected to spring $227 and move to a 12th gen i5-12600K CPU, and that includes a new motherboard. New mobo because sixth gen ran in a LGA1151 socket, then came LGA1155, then LGA1200, and the...

Recently I was where you are regarding Pushover. Please see my post, #06 in this string: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/preferred-ways-to-get-push-notification-of-alerts-from-bi.74321/#post-834322

Swapped CPU and motherboard in Blue Iris PC a couple of days ago, and updated existing Windows 10 Pro license to Windows 11 Pro. CPU dropped to 0%-1% from 30% and higher, GPU (no physical change) dropped to 0%-1% from 15%-20% and now sometimes the GPU % does not even show at the bottom of BI...

Thanks, your suggestions have solved the problems. Chances are when the camera had first arrived I must have tinkered with it and rotated both lenses, and it had been in that state ever since. The explanation for same image on both channels turned out to be similar - both lenses were pointing...

Trying to install HDBW5441F-AS-E2 / boobie-cam in BI, cam purchased from Andy in March 2023. Fortunately found this thread, which reminded me about Channel 1 and 2 respectively. After correcting parameters as outlined by @wittaj above: Channel 1 showing image rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise in...

$226.95 plus sales tax, shipping included, got me a 12th gen CPU ($126.49 for new i5-12,600K, $100.46 for new LGA1700 socket Z690 motherboard with two NICs). The items were sitting in my cart; when I dropped, by a "combo" discount of $10 had become $78, and that did it. Minor assembly required...

I have a combination of these cams purchased in 2023, working fine in Blue Iris: T5442T-ZE HFW5241E-Z12E HDBW5441F-AS-E2 NCD800 (Annke/Hikvision) I have Samsung 256GB PRO Endurance micro SD cards in each of the cams and would like to put them to use. What are good practices and how does one...

The more I learn about Blue Iris, the more I realize how little I know about it and how much there is to learn. It helped me learn about PCs over the years when I could experiment with a PC without worrying I might “break” my primary PC. Let’s just say I became very efficient at re-installing...

@wittaj My cams are mostly Dahuas from your list of suggested cameras, and a couple of Hik's. Sounds like I should get to know better the capabilities of my cameras. Thanks for the suggestions. Also - you are a great resource for this forum, thank you for all your posts and responses which are...

When I needed a PC for Blue Iris in early 2023, I re-purposed an older PC I had laying around. Since then, I added three WD purple drives to it. The BI PC is a 2015/2016 build with an i5 6500 3.2 GHz (sixth gen) CPU, Z170 mini-ITX motherboard, 16 GB of DDR 3000 memory, a GTX960 video card, and...

If you have cameras operational, ask for a reduction on your house insurance premium and you might get it. Many insurers have a reduction for a central station connected security system. I asked and argued that a good camera system is an effective security system. Got a net premium reduction of...

Should somebody else find their way to this thread, key points I learned in setting up Pushover notifications: 1. The first post from @jaydeel in an extensive thread on Pushover has everything you need to get Pushover notifications operational from Blue Iris. All you have to do is copy one line...

After appearing to be solved, the problem appeared again intermittently. The new router arrived and is in service. Intermittent connectivity from mobile devices continued. At one point, I could connect from an iPad but not from an iPhone. On a hunch I checked the ZT app on the iPhone, and it...
