    Sudden Spike in CPU Usage

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, Windows evidently did a "critical update" on Wednesday. I tried to roll back using Windows system restore, but I got an error message saying something along the lines of: system restore failed. unable to access certain file. suggest disable anti-virus and try...

    Sudden Spike in CPU Usage

    I've had BI running for months and my CPU almost never went above 19%. Today, my CPU usage is up and down, at times spiking to 70%, and I'm seeing dropped frames on my console view when that happens. It seems to be averaging 30%+ for the past half hour. Any ideas why this is suddenly...

    Connecting from remote PC to Blue Iris PC: Remote Desktop Certificate Error

    Thanks again, Roger. I use Remote Desktop over both local LAN and via VPN, so I'm not using router-level port forward in either case. Still, from some online reading, it seems like not having a certificate allows for a "man in the middle" exploit, in the case where someone gains access to my...

    Connecting from remote PC to Blue Iris PC: Remote Desktop Certificate Error

    Thanks, Roger, but that blog post seems targeted at Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. I'm running Win10.

    Connecting from remote PC to Blue Iris PC: Remote Desktop Certificate Error

    I am suddenly experiencing a certificate error when using Windows Remote Desktop to connect from a remote PC to my Blue Iris PC. Remote Desktop had been working perfectly between these two PCs until yesterday, when both PCs went through a Windows 10 update (they were both already running Win10...

    BI Software Cost

    I'd recommend you buy Blue Iris directly from the developer. $60 is a bargain for what you get.

    Makes sense. Thanks!

    No DST support?

    Is there any downside to Fenderman's suggested approach of recording to bvr (which I already do), then adding the time stamp back when exporting direct to disk video? This approach is obviously simpler than using timesynctool, but I'm wondering if there some unrecognized benefit of using...

    Network Time Help

    I have seen timesynctool mentioned in a few threads. I always wonder about the safety of software that is published by an unknown author. I'm not suggesting timesync tool is unsafe; in fact, it's been recommended on this forum by some of the most highly-regarded posters, so I feel pretty good...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks again, MrRalph. I FINALLY got OpenVPN working again. On my ASUS RT-AC88U, I rolled back to the June 15 firmware, and I also updated the "OpenVPN Connect" app on my Android phone. It's hard to be certain at this point, but I think updating the app is what fixed the issue. On Google...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    from the log file on the ASUS router this may be the relevant entry, but I don't know how to correct it. "Assertion failed at ssl.c:2005"

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    thanks, Ralph. I tried a couple of power cycles. Also, I didn't do "factory reset" but I did revert back to earlier June 15 firmware (pretty sure that's the one I was running). OpenVPN still not working. Not sure what to do next :(

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Hello all, I've been running OpenVPN setup on an ASUS Router. This has worked like a charm for me since I set it up in July. Today, I upgraded the firmware on my ASUS RT-AC88U to 3.0.0.4.382_15850. Now, I cannot connect to the VPN. I tried creating and exporting a new .ovpn file, but I...

    4.5.9.8 is now on the Blue Iris website! I just downloaded it, and it appears that my storage issues have been resolved!

    Version 4.5.9.7 -- Storage Errors?

    regarding the storage errors, has anyone sent a message to Ken @ Blue Iris? Or should we assume he reads this forum, so that notifying him is redundant?

    Version 4.5.9.7 -- Storage Errors?

    ok, thanks as usual, Fenderman. quick unrelated question: I switched over to "running blue iris as a service" a few days ago. I had to reboot earlier today, so I closed the GUI (I did not stop the service, however) and then re-booted the PC. After reboot and re-launch of the Blue Iris...

    Version 4.5.9.7 -- Storage Errors?

    understood. i had planned to implement bp2008's tool, but never got around to it. so, for now, we just have to wait for a further update (e.g., 4.5.9.8) addressing this issue?

    Version 4.5.9.7 -- Storage Errors?

    Since upgrading to 4.5.9.7 a few moments ago, I notice the following error message in the message tab of my status window: Based on quick observation, the system seems to be running normally, but clearly something has gone wrong. Any ideas? Thanks!

    VPN --- run on the Blue Iris PC or on the router?

    I’ve never used VPN before. Is the built-in Windows VPN client compatible with OpenVPN? If so, I suppose I should use the Window client and avoid having to install/configure OpenVPN’s client. Wow, Fenderman, you know your stuff! I never would have known it was a Blue Iris setting! I changed...

    VPN --- run on the Blue Iris PC or on the router?

    Thanks, all! Based on your feedback, I ordered ASUS RT-AC88U router. Hopefully, the VPN config will be straightforward. One thing not included in Randy’s VPN instructions is how to set up the client side on a PC. I am hoping that it’s just a matter of installing the Window OpenVPN client on...

    VPN --- run on the Blue Iris PC or on the router?

    Hello all, and thanks again to all of the posters who make this a great, helpful forum! I am interested in setting up remote (WAN) access into Blue Iris for my Windows laptop and my android phone. After reading the VPN Primer by @nayr, I’m leaning toward setting up OpenVPN. I am trying to...

    Motion Detection: has anyone had success with OBJECT CROSSES ZONES?

    Get your motion detection settings enabled. Then, double-click a pre-recorded clip to play it. Within the playback window, if you right-click, you'll see an option to "Test run video through motion detector."

    Motion Detection: has anyone had success with OBJECT CROSSES ZONES?

    Thanks, guys! I think I've got it dialed-in now. The "Test run video through motion detector" feature is fantastic! You just keep re-playing the same pre-recorded footage through the motion detector. Each time you modify a trigger setting, you get to see how it would have triggered (or not)...

    Blue Iris on HP EliteDesk 800 G3 [SFF] – Note on adding INTERNAL HARD DRIVE(S)

    Got mine @ CDW. Like, mr_guns, I got no real deal on the PC, but I got a fair price for a machine that should last a while.

    Blue Iris – Camera Storage Requirement Calculations

    Thanks, @ Fenderman! So, compared with the 10FPS camera at the same bitrate, the 15FPS camera is forced to sacrifice quality within its individual frames? In other words, at 15FPS you get more frames, but each individual frame is of less image quality than on the 10FPS cam? Along these...

    Blue Iris on HP EliteDesk 800 G3 [SFF] – Note on adding INTERNAL HARD DRIVE(S)

    Cool, I hope the setup goes well! Possibly HP will include the include the anti-vibration mounting screws in the tower model. Regarding storage, WD now makes 10TB purple drives, so you can get 20TB in the SFF. If you have requirements beyond that, you must be building one heck of a system!;)

    Blue Iris – Camera Storage Requirement Calculations

    Attached is a screen shot from the Blue Iris “Status” window on my PC. I am trying to use this information to calculate the daily storage requirements for each camera. Take Camera1 (recording at 15 FPS) as an example. Blue Iris show bitrate of 439.95 kB/s. I can multiply this by 86,400...
