    Triggered video no longer storing in separate folder

    I recently updated to 5.5.4.5 and I think it broke something. I record in "continuos + triggered" mode on all my cameras. Previously, my continuous video recordings (sub-stream) was being stored at Blue Iris/New and my triggered video stream (hihg-res) was being stored at Blue Iris/Alerts...

    Can I "teach" deepstack?

    Deepstack is pretty confident that my neighbor's tree is a person. Is there some way that I can tell Deepstack that this is a tree in order to improve its analysis of objects?

    No video feed in app but works in web browser

    If I log on to my Blue Iris system using a web browser over WAN everything works as expected. But, if I log on over WAN using my Blue Iris app on either iOS or Android I get the color bars on each camera view (see attached). However, if I log on over LAN it works fine. Also, I have a separate...

    Hardware question

    We have a Blue Iris set-up with 4 cameras monitoring a grain storage facility on our farm. We built the computer with a AMD A8-5600K Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz processor and put 8GB of ram in it. I'm starting to wonder if that is not sufficient. Our CPU is consistently above 50% with some...

We are also using the blue iris app to view one of the cameras while we load grain in the semi so we know when to move the truck or shut off grain flow when it's full. The problem is the video on the iPhone app is delayed...

    control camera motion detection with keypad

    I am looking for an office security solution and hoping Blue Iris may be a way to do it. I would like to have a keypad or RFID receiver that could be used to control Blue Iris. Ideally, each user could have a separate keypad code. When they exit the office they enter their code and that...

    Hardware configuration for 4 camera unit

    I have a Windows 7 machine with 8MB of RAM and a 3.6 Ghz CPU. It still doesn't seem to cut it. We are almost always seeing CPU usage at 100%. Is this not enough hardware? Or do I need to change some settings to ease up on my CPU? I have the cameras recording on motion and recording at 30fps.
