    Blue Iris URLs for external streams

    Currently using Action Tiles were I am able to use a stream as a tile on my iPad. I am currently using the link below for a stream: http://BI_IP:BI_PORT/mjpg/Cam_Short_Name/video.mjpg I am noticing my CPU usage on my Blue Iris server increase about 5-10% more per stream when using these URLs...

    Dahua Starlight PTZ

    I was looking at getting a nice Dahua PTZ camera but I had no idea they were so loud... Won't be able to get one if they are that loud. Are there quiet ones?

    I emailed support but they wouldn't help unless I had the paid support service. I received an email back from Jen, not Ken.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Is there a white equivalent to this camera?

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    So the problem is definitely related to the display driver. I disabled my Intel HD Graphic display adapter and the problem went away. Now I do not have the Intel graphics though. This really sucks... Also, contacting their support is useless unless you pay for the service.

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    I just did a fresh Windows and BI install - that won't solve it. Saw someone else did it too.

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    I am having the same issue. Usually runs at about 15%-20% and went to 70% overnight. 8700k, 16GB RAM, WIN10, Intel UHD Graphics 630 22.20.16.4758 Running Blue Iris version 4.6.5.2 x64 I've read this thread but I am finding mixed reviews. Do I need to rollback BI along with my Intel graphics...

    Red text in Blue Iris - what's it mean?

    On the Blue Iris app and in BI I see the red text below. Looks like it is related to my hard drive space? What does it actually mean, I would think it is trying to alert me something since it is red. Then I also started to receive notifications on my phone in the second image. Also, not sure...

    How to hide my Blue Iris hard drives

    Thanks. So Blue Iris doesn't run a NAS, correct? A NAS just stores all your data remotely and BI can write to those drives constantly? Is this how most people setup their BI? Would like to get @fenderman 's input too.

    How to hide my Blue Iris hard drives

    I have my Blue Iris computer in my office and it is not hidden. My office is small and difficult to hide, I've thought of everything and there is no where to hide it. I am thinking it should be hidden in case someone breaks in and steals my recording of them. What I want to do is hide my hard...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Pretty sure it is all cameras that have auto-focus. Unless you can turn off auto-focus, cameras auto-focus can lose focus in the dark when there is nothing for the camera to actually focus on.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Did everything and adjusted the URL and focus numbers in your code. But it is not executing the URL when the CurrentFocus does not equal .778333 I do get the three output files LPR_Focus_Log, LPR_Focus_Status, and LPR_Focus_Status. When the focus is not set, I get the "Focus Reset" and when the...

    Quick Sync on Prime Z370-A

    Putting parts together for a Blue Iris and Plex server and wanted to get the 8700k with an Asus Prime Z370-A. I was looking at motherboards and found that this motherboard didn't support Quick Sync in the comparison data below from Asus's website: ASUS USA Any idea if all the new gen...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Is there an easier way to do this? I made a batch file with this: @ECHO OFF SET BROWSER=chrome.exe START %BROWSER% -new-tab "http://Login:PW@192.168.x.xxx/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocus&focus=0.388889&zoom=0.898502" taskkill /f /im chrome.exe /t It would be great if I could get...

    Man, the police came over today to see if I had footage of a car leaving the community. My LPR (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12) was so out of focus, it was useless. What a crap camera...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Thanks - I spent a lot working on this but still no luck. I would definitely not recommend this camera with the auto-focus issue. I don't understand why we can't just set the focus and it not change on it's own. My camera is constantly out of focus.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    No feedback on how to stop auto focus? What about the profile management not working? I setup a NIght and Day profile to switch at certain times but it always get stuck on my Night profile. Not idea why. I also triple checked the time on the camera to make sure the time on the camera wasn't an...

    Aren’t the Purples designed to run 24/7? Or are you more concerned about the power consumption of all the drops?

    1x 8TB vs 2x 4TB writing

    Quick question, is it better to have 9 Dahua 1080p@15FPS cameras writing to two purple WD drivers or just have it write to a single 8TB drive? Was leaning toward the 8TB drive, also, any suggestions for hiding the hard drive in case someone broke in and stole my computer. I was thinking about...

    I am using the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 as a LPR and I am finding it loses focus during night. Are we able to fix the focus setting on this camera?

    Blue Iris and hard drives

    Wow, 64 streams? That's crazy. When you say BI database, is that just the txt files with alerts? Now that I think about it, not sure why I move the files to the "storage" folder. Yeah, I should just fill one folder to deletion. Also, is it best to get 2x 4TB drives for video storage or 1x 8TB?

    Blue Iris and hard drives

    I have a two questions and after searching the forum, I couldn't find the answers for my situation. I have 15 2MP cameras at 15-20 FPS that continuously record. My first question was if I should save video to my local SSD that my OS is on, then have it moved to my storage drive after x days or...
