    1U or 2U rackmount build for 64 camera system?

    Awesome rig! How many watts does it consume? I'm running about 35 - 40 megapixels of mixed cameras on a i7-4790k and CPU usage is around 18% and consumes 70 watts but I still need to change some camera settings and hopefully improve those numbers a bit.

    Need security recommendations for IP camera setup

    As usual, bp2008 to the rescue! I understand what you mean about security by obscurity and while it probably won't hurt, it's obviously more of a hassle than it's worth since it can be defeated easily. I guess the idea is don't put myself on the radar with port 80 but like you said, since it's...

    Need security recommendations for IP camera setup

    I'm adding more and more cameras and security has become more of a concern as I do so. With cameras setup indoors I want to protect the stream as much as I can. How can I accomplish that? My thoughts are : 1. For MJPEG stream cameras use a random port within the range of 80 - 65535 and assign...

    Would there be an issue with sharing modified FW updates here using this tool? Other than making sure they are done properly and brick proof.

    Re: looking for BI setting recommendations for use with RDP (remote desktop connectio I've stumbled across this setting on BI v4 @ Options -> Startup -> Run as a Window service (no user account or interface--advanced use) What will I gain from enabling this? As I understand, running BI as a...

    looking for BI setting recommendations for use with RDP (remote desktop connection)

    Hi All I'm still learning what this amazing piece of software has to offer. Much of the configuration happens over of RDP (Remote Desktop Connection) and I'm learning there are some settings I can change to improve this connection method. Don't need or want an intense visual experience, just...

    Attic Rated POE Switch?

    I don't have an actual attic but there is a crawl space under the roof where insulation and an old AC unit reside that venture up to from time to time. It was extremely hot (and still might be) but we recently got a new roof put on and they drilled holes in the soffit and installed a vent every...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Well looks like the power supply was the culprit. It's a 12V DC 1 Amp DC power supply but the connector was not seated properly. To make sure it's working properly I also used the CMS software (thanks for the link) and it found the camera right away. Now that I know it's working, should I...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Just received my TOP-201 today (30 business day later..) and I'm having difficulty finding it on the network. The "IP Search" feature in CMS turns up nothing and by default the IP is supposed to be 192.168.1.10 is what is says on the back. Not sure if I have a lemon or this thing is more of...

    Alerts for groups

    I think it would be the other way around. It's possible to overload BI with cams. As I understand it, you want the cams doing as much of the work as possible so the server isn't working as hard. If some cams pick up motion better than others, I would try raising the sensitivity settings on...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Adding another camera fixed that problem. Thanks! Is it a bug or just a requirement? I appreciate the input. Both bits of code work but they appear to very different. I'll stick with the latest and greatest from Google for now since it seems to do the job.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I have a similar issue on a fresh BI installation. Not using BIT, just the latest and greatest version of your files. I'm getting stuck at "Loading Clip List.. BUSY" This is what IE reveals from the directions you posted. Initially I changed the storage from C: default to D: as the default...

    Hey Mike, yeah it's a 64bit OS. Windows 7 Pro X64 to be specific. That is good to know it's not a user error as I didn't think it should be that complicated with all the trial and error. Looking forward to the next big update! Thanks for your reply. edit : @Mike One more question for you...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Can I add Google Analytics code to this? I see BI Tools offers that feature but the code it inserts is different from it says to use in the Google properties for the website with tracking ID and what code to place in HTML and PHP files. Which code should I use? The one BIT generates or the one...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Yeah looks pretty normal to me. I even tried moving the "New" directory to root just as you (D: in my case) but still no dice. Do I need to give BI permission to BI Tools or something? BIT detects the installation and successfully starts the Watchdog features although they don't seem to be...

    Remote Viewing

    Hi Meanie I own this same router but not using the stock firmware. I recommend checking out DD-WRT for it as it will give you more customization and perhaps the VPN stability you are looking for. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index It does have risks so make sure to read up if this is your first...

    Excellent tip, thank you! I changed the path for the BI db, alerts, storage, and new directories to my D: drive instead of C: drive within the BI options. Blue Iris tools does not seem to detect this change. The Watchdog [Folder Monitor] shows up empty even there are clips stored in those...

    Blue Iris common issues

    I believe it supports just about any camera with right patience. If you don't see your camera listed, I would try the generic RTSP, MJPEG, etc. profiles and customize them to your setup. Development is active so I'm sure additional cameras will be supported in the future. If you're technical...

    BI motion detection area

    Is it possible to set a specified area of a camera view to capture motion? I checked out the motion tab for the camera I want to do this with but did not see a clear way to set that up. Sorry if this has been asked before. I did use the search but came across more advanced problems.

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    OK good to know. The reason I'm asking is because depending on what OS you have there are tweaks you can apply to save on system resources. I realize BI obviously the hog but if you can free up in other places it might help the overall experience. I'm talking about registry tweaks mostly that...
