    Confirm camera/stream is using Nvidia GPU/hardware acceleration?

    Is there a way to confirm a camera/stream is using the Nvidia GPU/hardware acceleration? I've tried nvidia-smi and nvitop and there's just one entry for Blue Iris, instead of multiple entries for each stream (unlike on Linux when it does show an entry for each stream).

    Jacks/ports on IPC-HDBW5421E-Z

    Pictured below is a Dahua IPC-HDBW5421E-Z and I need clarification on the jacks/ports (can't find anything with details on using them). The red one I thought was a composite mic-in, but when I plugged a mic in and got no sound (Microseven M7WP-MIC). Do I have to continue playing with the...

    mobile notifications suddenly stopped working

    My phones (Samsung S22 Ultra and OnePlus 6T) suddenly stopped getting mobile notifications when motion is detected on my cameras (pop-up and sound). Here's the troubleshooting steps I've tried so far with no luck: Removed and reinstalled the Blue Iris Android app (3.0.36) Removed and re-added...

    640x480 streams are squished

    I have sub-streams at 640x480 H265 added to Blue Iris and they're all showing as and recording with a squished/taller aspect ratio (see attached). This is happening with both my Hikvision and Dahua cameras. Blue Iris lists/detects them properly as 640x480 in each camera's properties screen. The...

    theft not recorded, how should I tweak my camera?

    Someone stole a chair from the front yard one night and to my surprise the camera didn't record it. It's a Hikvision 8MP (4K) DS-2CD2185FWD-I fixed dome camera. Attached are my current settings for that camera (mainly default stuff) and snapshots of the scene at night, before the theft. I...

    Blue Iris not deleting old clips from NAS

    I'm running Blue Iris 4.8.6.3 (current version more than meets my needs, don't need to upgrade to version 5 at this point) and have clips set to move to my NAS (SMB/CIFS) after 7 days and then set to delete from the NAS with the "Limit size" at 3125 GB. I checked my clips folder on the NAS and...

    Blue Iris restart and crash loop

    Blue Iris is suddenly crashing and then restarting every 5 seconds or so. I stopped and started the service, restarted the computer, compact and repaired database and upgrade Blue Iris to the latest (4.8.4.2) but it still loops. The traffic icon in Blue Iris loops between red and green and the...

    move recordings cleanly?

    I wasn't paying attention and my hard drive is down to 500 MB and Windows 10 is sluggish and kind of unstable. I added a big secondary hard drive (E: ), changed the location of Stored/Storage and Alerts folders to this drive and and dramatically decreased the size limit (and disabled clip age)...

    IndexSizeError in WebUI with 4k stream

    Now, I know this is a stretch (and subject to ridicule) considering the tech being used, but I gotta try. When using the webui (UI3), I get a "IndexSizeError" error message when trying to full screen a 4k live stream on my Surface RT or RT2 (using either desktop or metro Internet Explorer). The...

    8MP recordings chopped and distorted

    I just added a Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS 8MP network dome camera to Blue Iris (4.7.4.3). The live view displays fine but the recordings are chopped in two reordered and distorted (see attached screenshot). Recordings play back this way on all devices. The camera is set up with all it's out of...

    quick sync and non-intel onboard graphics card

    I understand Intel Quick Sync/hardware acceleration is highly recommended for Blue Iris. I have a Supermicro X9SCM motherboard that supports Intel Core i3 2nd & 3rd generation CPUs (which have Intel Quick Sync). The mobo has onboard graphics (Matrox G200). The X9SCM product page specifically...

    NVR/DVR alternatives to Nest, Arlo cloud features

    I like the features of my Arlo system, especially the free 7 day cloud recordings, but I want to replace the system with IP cameras that are more open/standard. Are there any software, services, DIY systems that are low cost or free/open source that gives similar notifications/alerts and cloud...

    nest cam alternative with standard IP or USB connections?

    I like the video/picture quality of the Nest Cam Outdoor, but I'd prefer a camera that uses standards (RTSP, ONVIF, HTTP or even USB) so I can connect/stream/record the way I see fit. Does anyone know the sensor of the Nest Cam Outdoor or who actually makes the nest cam camera itself (assuming...
