    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    You're good. I was sure but when I checked it was enabled again. I just went ahead and deleted from immediate actions so it can't get enabled again. I did a quick test and it seems to be working, I'll check it again tomorrow to be sure. Thanks again, getting this set up is huge!

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I totally dropped the ball entering in my curl parameters. I had it set up in triggers -> immediate action instead of in the alerts tab. I disabled it in triggers and moved it to the alerts tab. I verified my AI settings and I did have ‘Begin analysis with motion-leading image’ on so I toggled...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Thanks for the super tutorial. I was able to get this set up very quickly with the great guide. Only change I made was to change WAN to LAN so I would get the private IP vs. Public IP. There is something weird going on though. It seems that some of the alerts to Pushover are coming in pretty...

    Best push option for 2023

    Hello, I have my cameras set up and running in the latest stable version of BI available. At this point, I have them running "Continuously + Trigger" and am using code project AI to analyze the images. Right now it is saving the "high resolution pictures" to BI Alerts folder. I still need to...

    Remotely connecting to Blue Iris PC from phone

    Hello - I have some questions about remotely viewing my cams in BI from another device, such as a phone. For some background, I have the BI Desktop app running on a dedicated PC. Cams are up and running, recording to a local drive. How exactly do I access the PC/BI Desktop Application from...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Now that it's warmer I've started mounting my cams and using them in BI. However I need my VPN set up to access away from home. Is the "new" topology I mentioned above the correct way to wire my netgear OpenVPN router? Thank you.

    New house build. Overwhelmed with options…

    Feel free to fact check me but I'm not sure there's any real benefit to 6a over 6 unless you are running the wire over about 150 ft. Regular cat 6 can still hit 10Gbps up to that distance. I recently started a project running ethernet to several of my rooms. Initially I was going to do 6A but...

    Panning and viewing 2nd cam on IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2

    You're so awesome wittaj. I know I've asked a lot of basic questions recently so I appreciate your kindness to help me. I do try to research before posting but like I said I'm still a noob to the nvr world. I hope to get better with time. Thanks again.

    Panning and viewing 2nd cam on IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2

    Hello, I recently received my IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 and have it running in BI. Unfortunately i cant figure out how to get pan to work. I enable ptz on the camera to ungrey out the controls. I also verified my user has access to ptz in the settings. I don't specifically see ptz in the booklet...

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    I think an email for motion alerts would work just fine for me. I get a push notification from Gmail to my phone already. Do you have the Android or Apple BI app? I have an Android phone and the reviews in the play store are really bad so that's why I am asking. Thank you.

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    I am just about ready to buy the BI license (great price on this site BTW) but reading the Android Mobile App reviews have me worried. Literally every review of the app in the last few years are awful. Do I have to have the phone app to get push motion detection alerts? Push motion alerts to...

    Lots of questions for soffit install

    Sadly I don't think a conditioned space is going to be realistically possible. If I do a "home run" to each camera from my basement, I'm looking at 200 ft a wire (not to mention an absurd number of wires, I'm already running dedicated wire for 10 ethernet jacks in various rooms of my house that...

    Lots of questions for soffit install

    Thanks for pointing this out. I have not drilled any holes or ran any of my permanent wires to the attic. I do have a closet in my garage.. maybe that would be a better alternative to place the flex switches. I will do some more investigation as I've quickly learned to plan first (multiple...

    Lots of questions for soffit install

    Thanks for providing the max temps. The hottest it's ever been in history in my city is 104 degrees. It's typically pretty cool and even on a hot summer day it's probably 90 outside. My attic is very well insulated as well. You still think I'll have issues? I had always pictured the strips...

    It's a great point but this switch is designed to be used outside. I also have outdoor weather proof enclosures (may be overkill in my attic but I wanted to be safe) Switch Flex Utility – Ubiquiti Inc.

    Lots of questions for soffit install

    I have finally tested my cameras locally and am ready to install them! I want to mount them on my vinyl soffit. I know a soffit is a bit high up but the rest of my house is brick so I don't want to drill into it. I bought junction boxes like below (for example, i have several boxes depending...

    IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2 - Resource is limited, open video failed

    I don't think it's the network. I'm using the same cable as I used to test all my other cams (including the boobie cam which showed both streams fine). I did just find in "setting -> video" that substream 2 "enabled" was not checked. I was able to enable it and I can view substream 2 now...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Once we have added 192.168.1.50/24 and re-ip'd the camera away from their default address, is there any reason to leave 192.168.1.50/24 on the 2nd NIC? Can it be safely removed? Any risk to leaving it?

    IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2 - Resource is limited, open video failed

    I purchased the several cams including the IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2 for black friday. After initialing the camera, on the main screen I see "Main Stream", "Substream 1" and "Substream 2". Main Stream and Substream 1 work fine. However when I click Substream 2 it says "Resource is limited, open video...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Thanks but I have a poe injector. I think I got it figured out. I was able to get the POE flex switch online by using my regular network. I got in and gave it a static ip in my 2nd NIC/cam address range. Then i plugged it into the switch going to my nvr nic and i could ping the new address...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    I think the problem is the Flex Switch can't get to the router with the "dual nic" setup. The "POE flex switch" needs to be hanging off the isolated switch going to the NVR BI PC's 2nd NIC (it can't get to my router handing out addresses which I think is by design, anything off my isolated/CAM...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    I am really struggling with this setup. I wanted to use a Ubiquiti Flex Switch so I would only need to run one ethernet to my attic. I wanted to terminate the ethernet from my basement switch to a 2nd switch w POE injector to the Flex switch in the attic and then run wires to the outdoor cams...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Alright so I am about ready to put this WW-DRT Netgear in my network. Since I currently have a mesh network I need to put the Netgear/OpenVPN in front of my topology. Current: Modem -> Main Mesh Router/AP -> Switch -> Additional Mesh Routers/APs New: Modem -> Netgear/OpenVPN -> Mesh Router/AP...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I just wanted to pop back in and thank you guys for the info. I was able to get WW-DRT installed on my old Netgear router. The router claims to support speeds up to 1750Mbps so it shouldn't be any kind of a bottle neck for me. I was able to disable Wifi on it and OpenVPN seems simple enough...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Can someone recommend a good NIC card for the dell optiplex 7040 SFF? The specifications say it uses a half size pcie type so i want to make sure i get one that fits. Thank you.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks i will look into ZeroTier. Looks like its free too for basic use which is great. If i go this route, how would my physical cabling need to be set up? Right now i have modem -> mesh router -> unmanaged switch -> devices. If my Dell NVR starts hosting VPN will it still just connect off...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I did see that but sadly it looks like raspberry pis arent readily available to purchase right now. I could buy another dell box for like $100 i guess but if i can run my cams and vpn on the same box it would be more convenient and be less of a power draw. For the record the dell i got is the...
