    How is a VPN more secure than port forwarding?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't VPNs require port forwarding as well? Can't you just set a strong password for Blue Iris instead of having to go through all the challenges with using a smart phone + VPN + Blue Iris? The app is already problematic enough without the VPN (sometimes the app...

    Is it possible to set up zones for a PTZ that is on a patrol zone?

    I want to set up trigger zones on a PTZ that is cycling a couple presets in my backyard every minute. The problem is I don't think BI is capable of understanding which preset the camera is in when the patrol zone is done on the camera end. Btw Why is the screen blank when selecting the preset?

    Why doesn't Blue Iris sell hourly consulting services?

    This software is so complicated and hard to set up properly (as in not getting false AI detection constantly) that they can probably give away this software for FREE and then charge $100 an hour to set it up! They would probably be making a killing off of that. I mistakenly bought the...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    I am running Code Project with the ipcam-combined model. I want deer alerts to fire when they are 90% or higher confidence and then I want person alerts to fire when 70%. Having different sensitivities for AI objects is how nearly all native camera AI works, but can't find a way to do it here.

    In UI3 I am receiving new, unconfirmed, alerts in the side bar that I don't want

    I don't like receiving these alerts in the side bar that notify me about motion detections. When I reload the page they disappear. Why am I receiving unconfirmed alerts temporarily like this? I only want to see new alerts that are confirmed. With my PTZ cameras they make a lot of motion...

    Pet detection ONVIF event is missing from Reolink camera

    I am having trouble getting pet detection alerts to work on Blue Iris. I am getting the push notifications on the Reolink app for this events, so the camera is configured properly. But there is no event in the list for pet detection. Should I give the code project AI a try at this point?

    Quirk about UI3 interface

    I want to select a channel with one click, and be able to use PTZ and adjust volume from the home layout screen. This is how the main Blue Iris interface is. One click selects it, double click maximizes it. In UI3 one click maximizes it and selects it. When I minimize the channel, it is...

    Beta firmware for Reolink 842a and 823 16x cameras that have the delayed live feed issue

    Here is the firmware I got from Reolink that fixed the delayed live feed issue I had with these cameras when using either Blue Iris or even the official Reolink app for long periods of time (I have an android view station with the live feeds running non stop). Posting here instead of this...

    What Hikvision series camera would work best to capture vehicles (not license plates) at night?

    I already have LPR cameras from Hikvision with the ANPR technology built right into them. Now I want to see the vehicles driving down my road (even at night) so I can see what the make, model, and color of the vehicle is. I also want to be able to get a good shot of the driver too during the...

    Reolink PTZ Torture Test

    I'm gonna be running it like this until it dies. Will let you know in a couple months when that happens. Also before you ask thats not weed. Those are 100 privacy shrubs that will grow 10 feet tall in no time. Been having issues with animals eating on them.

    Camera is disabled or not connected. Error code iVMS-4200.Video.C.exe[1602].) on Hikvision IVMS Client

    So I keep getting this error message every time I startup the client. Then after a couple seconds everything loads in. It only has a couple cameras connected to the NVR and I already reset it and reinstalled the client. Is this just how Hikvision software is?

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    https://chatgpt.com/share/1dc4a830-395e-4fb5-924a-ab52d47811a9 In short, having Blue Iris on a separate user account that does not have network access to the LAN (other than the router), and using a reverse proxy with 2fa authentication is basically 10/10 bullet proof and should function just...

    In UI3 is there a way to filter the timeline based on Human/Vehicle alerts?

    In both the Hikvision and Reolink client, there are options to filter the footage based on alerts in the timeline. Here is UI3. I dont see that option to do that. I am used to using the timeline instead of the clips so I find this to be more natural to use. Overall Blue Iris works so...

    Hikvision NVR Freezing after adding 4K Reolink camera

    I have a Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4 / S 32 Channel Acusense NVR as well as the 8 channel version of it. Both become unresponsive in the NVR GUI whenever I add just one 4K PTZ Camera with the following stream settings. Changing the resolution down to 4MP (2304*1296 ) stops the unresponsiveness...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    Just picked up a 32 channel Acusense NVR on eBay for a steal (I know, Blue Iris is King but I want two way audio). I am worried that if they know the verification or QR code they can search for the device once it goes online. Does factory resetting it make a new code? I wouldn't think so...

    Solution to turn on and off Reolink (or any other app) notifications based on GPS location

    I have two of these Tasker scripts that I use (made by a a Ukrainian friend who does code for cheap) to automate certain functions of the Reolink app, but if you know how to use tasker the app can be changed to anything. You will need Tasker, AutoNotification, and some common knowledge of both...

    Drive by shooting! Why you should always have continuous recording for LPR cameras

    This was a random shooting incident that happened to a couple houses on my street. I was the only one with cameras that caught it. Unfortunately I didn't have the LPR cameras that captured the plate pictures set to continuous recording so I couldn't get their faces inside their vehicles when...

    Hik connect notifications stop working after a while

    I am supposed to be recieving a notification every time a vehicle is detected on my LPR cameras. However only email notifications come through. The Hik connect app after a while just stops sending notifications and then I have to delete both cameras and add them back. I just did this again...

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    I want you all to take a look at this post right here. The complaint was about seeing ads in the reolink app which OP did not like. Afterall, who the fuck likes ads on free software let alone paid software? Reolink is just an overall dumbed down product for dummies. That's why there are ads...

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    I have two iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY LPR cameras from Hikvision that I need to have FTP setup on for license plate snapshots. I have an FTP server setup on the NAS (synology ds923) and was able to connect to it via a FTP client running on my phone. I was also able to have my shitty reolink...
