    How to enable Native Internet Explorer in Windows 11 to access your IP cams.

    This works but now @bsocko has pwned my computer. ;)

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    It's up: Here's my car, after making a left turn into the lot from 223rd St (scaled down): and a 100% crop of my car: Here's someone leaving: I can actually zoom in even further, but I don't think I need to, and I would lose part of the driveway anyway (scaled down): I should be...

    Docker Wyze Bridge - configuration

    Another small tip--if you run the Bridge on the same computer as Blue Iris, use the loopback address instead of its literal IP address: That way, if you transplant everything over to a new computer, it will still work.

    Trying to move Dahua cameras from subnet to main LAN

    But doesn't ONVIF require a login? How would the NVR log into the camera if the IP address has been changed?

    Trying to move Dahua cameras from subnet to main LAN

    Does it do this via ARP? My Amcrest cameras have this checkbox: I wonder un-checking this box would prevent the NVR from forcibly adopting the cameras.

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    I just had to configure auto-login for Windows 11, and now Docker starts at boot, and all is good. I had to drag the box back to my bench anyway, because you don't have access to all login options over RDP, so I took the opportunity to take some comparative photos between the old Optiplex 7040...

    Blue Iris 6.0 coming?

    Don't forget 5.9.9.A, 5.9.9.B, 5.9.9.C, 5.9.9.D, 5.9.9.E, and 5.9.9.F.

    Blue Iris 6.0 coming?

    Ah, got it. By "the app" you mean "the mobile app" and not "the PC app." edit: I almost never use the mobile app any more. UI3 on Chrome on iPhone works better for me for just about all tasks.

    Blue Iris 6.0 coming?

    Anyone have any wild guesses on what 6.0 will include?

    Blue Iris UI3

    Has it tried? :p Well, I suppose I'll wait for BI 6 before submitting a bug for BI 5. Still waiting for 6. . . . . . . .

    Few simple Q's about Dahua install junction box

    Looks promising! Here they are, out of the box. They slide into the junction box snugly: but they're obviously way too long: They're silicone, so they trim down very easily with a razor: The fit around the Ethernet portion of the breakout cable is a bit loose: but I can probably...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I have encountered a recurring (but infrequent) display bug. Sometimes, one of my cameras gets displayed as zoomed in, but BI/UI3 thinks it's zoomed all the way out. Here's the correct view: Sometimes, perhaps once every 2 weeks, I'll click on one of the cameras (say, the upper-right camera)...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    No, this is on a different BI box, my personal BI installation. The troublesome box is one I set up for my parents. The dead box is one my son set up for me ex. I also have a box at work that's working fine. :facepalm:

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    Yeah, but it's just the 256 GB boot drive, so I won't interact with it much. All the video is on a different, far slower, external drive box.

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    It's a cheapie SATA SSD that the refurb companies put in refurbished PCs: My new cheap box has an M.2 SSD that appears to be less cheapie:

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    Yeah, I will probably need to bring the box back to my house and do a bunch of swapping to figure out what's going on. The box that my son set up for my ex is also dead, and I just swapped out my personal box for a new one, so I will have 3 identical Optiplex 7040 boxes on my desk!

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    CrystalDisk reports zero errors or warnings on my 2-yo Seagate BarraCuda: but I'm getting repeated "Disk can't write fast enough" errors: and generally abysmal performance on this i7-6700 box that's essentially configured the same as 2 other identical boxes that perform fine with more...

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    Migration nearly complete! This i7-12700 box idles at about the same ~20%-ish, but doesn't redline when I scrub. Took me awhile to get all the little settings and utilities replicated on the new box, and I'm 95% there, except for getting my Docker Wyze Bridge to launch automatically at boot. I...

    Few simple Q's about Dahua install junction box

    Actually, while looking at that last item, amazon prompted this item, which looks more promising, as it's made of silicone, and presumably pliable and trimmable: 4 pieces for $10, delivered tomorrow. So I ordered, and we'll see.

    Few simple Q's about Dahua install junction box

    Does anyone know where to buy smaller split grommets for the hole at the bottom of the junction box? It was suggested in an earlier thread that I should look for a "cable gland," but I have dozens of cable glands in my toolbox, and they're typically for running an unterminated cable through a...

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    I fiddle with my cameras at my 3 sites over RDP all the time, and have never had a problem. But yes, anything that changes your computer's IP over RDP has the potential to lock you out and require a road trip to fix! This is one case where having a VM spun up in HyperV, with the host having 2...

    Yes! The camera unit and the chime unit come paired from the factory, and one will ring the other, OOTB!

    Blue Iris over a VPN.

    Two cameras should be fine. They'd pull <<<<20 Mbps, and any decent hardware VPN should be capable of many times that. I have two Protectli FW4C boxes ($249/each) running a Site-to-Site IPSec tunnel between them, over 1000/1000 links, and I'm getting >> 500 Mbps, sustained. Your Ubiquiti boxes...

    Point to Point Wireless Bridge Recomendations

    I've got Bridge C deployed, along with a camera pointing at the northern driveway off of Western. Distance is only 124' per DaftLogic, but there's a balcony in between, which puts a bunch of metal railings in the way: Does that matter at all? I suppose this is all academic, because I'm...

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    Possible, but the cameras need to be high enough that vagrants can't reach them by standing on the bollards or the electrical panel :facepalm:: They haven't brought a ladder. Yet.

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    That also looks weird because my front plates were all bent up. Here's my first natural night-time entry, at a normal angle: Maybe I have the focus point correct, where the cars need to complete their turn before running into the curb that runs parallel to the driveway. If I focus further out...
