That is exactly how we configure our NVRs. We have some experience with BI already. Just never had to mess with databases yet.

Thanks a lot for the info. I was concerned because a lot of times when I did repair/regenerate, it would not do it properly and I would lose most of the recordings in the NVR calendar. Then once I do it again i would get them back.

Does it have to be that often? Can it cause more problems that not? What does compacting do to the database?

Wait so by default, compact and repair is done every night at 2am? Is that correct?

I updated all problematic NVRs. We'll see what happens. How do you schedule automatic data repairs?

The versions that have these issues are 5.6.8.4 5.6.9.8

Hello everyone, We've been using Blue Iris for a few years now, and had moved all of our clients from Unifi to Blue Iris, hoping this is finally going to be our main NVR solution for all of our future clients. However, we've been experiencing an extremely annoying problems with recordings...

I am using Chrome browser on windows 11.

Actually I think it's still logging me out. It just goes back to the log in screen, that's it. I need to reenter my user name and password. Happens to multiple NVR instances, not just one.

Correct, looks like it is not timing out when the UI3 browser is in its separate instance. Will there be a fix for this anytime soon from BI?

Do you mean it doesn't time out when the only tab open is the UI3 page? And when you have multiple tabs and one of them is UI3 it times out? Just wanted to clarify I understood you correctly.

Hello everyone, My web ui is constantly logging out after a few minutes if the camera tab in the browser is not the one selected. This is so extremely annoying! The time out is set to 0 in the UI settings, but that seems to only work for when the browser tab is selected. Once I don't look at...

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I guess I'm just going to leave it on http since everything works. For some reason I thought the sound would not work with http, but it works. And also, I just checked that if you change the rtsp port from 554 to anything else, it stops working. That might mean that even though it is...

Or since both video and sound work as they should, do I just leave it on http?

Hello, When I try to add my cameras, no matter what brand I add in BI, I select rtsp, then enter the camera IP, then username and password. Then I click find and inspect, and the thing always auto switches to http protocol. When I try to switch it back to rtsp, I lose the ability to select the...

I just configured sub streams and they truly work miracles! I am have added 22 cameras on an old Dell OptiPlex i5 CPU with only 10 - 20% CPU utilization because of the sub streams. This is incredible! It means I can add twice as many cameras and run a pretty large camera system on an old PC...

Thank you.

With Nvidia acceleration it does not put any load on my nvidia card.

What do you mean by export? Do I need to manually export the videos to keep them outside of BI? Wouldn't recording in AVI or some other well known format enable to view recordings outside of BI without having to export anything?

When I select Direct X VA2, it loads the GPU to 100%, not the CPU. Any other Nvidia option does not result in GPU utilization at all.

Actually, I think it did result in lower CPU utilization.

I don't think i'm using deep stack. This is just a vanilla installation with motion detection recording of 16 cameras. I just switched Hardware Acceleration to Direct X VA2 and it is now utilizing 100% of my GPU at all times, however, this has not resulted in lower CPU utilization a single bit...

So putting the GPU into the computer doesn't mean it is going to help at all? Is there no way to make the GPU work? Why is it not being used by BI?

Hello everyone, Recently i've been testing my old PC that was laying around with Blue Iris. I connected 16 cameras to it resulting in 50-60 CPU load. I also had a very basic Nvidia GT520 graphics card laying around. And once I plugged it in and installed the drivers, I checked BI CPU load and...

Thanks

Hello everyone, Is it possible to be able to control camera settings through BI main UI? Or do I need to log into each camera individually to adjust settings such as: FPS for the main stream (sometimes changing FPS in BI does not do anything) Camera name, time and other water mark information...

Thank you so much. That's what I was looking for. For some reason I thought in the manual it was referring to "Run as administrator" as in the windows settings, not Blue Iris settings. But it was right there in the startup settings tab.

Do you know the answer?

I meant to say, I don't understand how to log out of the admin local user, and log in with the non admin local user in the Blu Iris program.
