    Blue Iris Clips and Files - Disk Usage Utility

    I've changed my recording path to the following, which makes it easier to manage for me, especially long term recording. Is it possible to adjust the script for this format? &CAM.\%d-%m-%y.\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S Which ends up looking like this: D:\Blueiris\video\frontdoor\18-10-23\...

    Blueiris on a mini PC? Check out these specs!

    Would love your feedback on running Blueiris on a mini PC vs full size PC with codeproject AI. To give some background.. I am currently running BI on a full size case, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-9100F, 16GB ram, 256GB OS, 2x internal 3.5" 4TB Red Drives and Nvidia 1650 SUPER. It is not uncommon for...

    5.8.0 - September 27, 2023

    For some reason I can't get the new functionality working. My understanding is once I enable the min/max time since last alert on a group it should not send any alert actions (but will still show the alert in the list). Note the below screenshots where I set both backyard cameras to...

    h264 or h265

    Hey all, I noticed I get a bit of mixed feedback as to whether or not to run H265 or H264... What do you run? and why? It seems more practical to run 4MP @ 15FPS / 6144 CBR on 265?

    FPS - in reality...

    Hey all, I understand the general recommendation has been 15FPS is good for CCTV... My thought was the higher FPS the better, as you'll end up with more potential frames to get an ID of a person... is that a fair assumption? What do YOU run your FPS as and why?

    How to get around this....?

    I want to run cat6 to my letterbox for a LPR install. I've figured the ideal run from my garage through a trench in the lawn. However, to get to the lawn, i've got 1 metre (40inches) wide of concrete path which backs onto a brick wall of my brick garage wall to contend with. What's the best way...

    "drives over quota" how to fix?

    Which part does not make sense? Because there is a folder called "CCTV" inside c:\blueiris\video? That's how I setup the recording tab, i.e. C:\blueiris\video\cctv\cameraname P drive is a local hard drive.

    "drives over quota" how to fix?

    I cant for the life of me work this out! It constantly shows up as drives over quota. If I repair the DB, it works for a bit but then returns. If I allocate more disk space to "new" it works for a bit but then returns. I've tried all db repair options, I cant seem to fix this.

    Backing up clips offsite?

    Scenario: BI machine is in a rack in the garage, a break in happens, and the BI machine is stolen. All CCTV is now gone. Solution: Backup clip which AI detects as "person" on certain cameras to a folder which is automatically synced to say OneDrive or Google Drive... in theory, by time they...

    How to playback properly...?

    Thanks for the reply. Oddly enough, whenever I double click the on the timeline etc. it only shows one camera at a time in playback mode...the rest of the cameras are "black". However, whenever I press on another camera it enables that camera and backs out the rest?

    How to playback properly...?

    Hello, This may sound like a silly question.. but I can't seem to work these simple tasks out... 1. How do you playback multiple cameras at the same time (from the timeline)? 2. How can you export video from multiple (selected) cameras at the same time? Thank you

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    Thanks everyone! I've switched the front cameras back to auto mode between colour and black and white. It seems to improve the image quality quite a bit. One issue I am battling now is, after switching to break time of 40 seconds and max 60 seconds... it seems when a motion is detected, it...

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    if I increase the "End trigger" to 45 seconds... does that mean I'll need to also increase the number of "real time images" that BI sends to the AI?

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    So does that mean if I set the "End Trigger" to 45 seconds and "Max" to 60 seconds this would be optimal? How do you know if it prevents a re-trigger? sorry just a little confused.

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    So something like 45 seconds end trigger and max 120 seconds? In theory, he was in the car for like 1.5 - 2 minutes? So maybe longer?

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    Well, the blueiris motion detection did pick him up and sent me an alert to say a person was detected... so I know the motion detection is working, it's more of how to make the image better.

    Yes, motion detection picked him up and sent me an alert to say a person was detected... The light to the rear is actually a LED street light.

    Steal from vehicle CCTV footage - what went wrong?

    Hey everyone, At 1:08am this morning, someone entered my unlocked (yes, I know) car. He rummaged through the car and took off. I thought I was smart by setting my blueiris setup to record 720p 24/7 and then switch to full resolution when motion was detected. However, as you can see from the...
