Yes, best as I can tell you should be OK. M.2's have different "key" specs - looks like this mobo has one key M and one key A. If there is no heat sink for the M.2 slots, might be worthwhile getting the version of the card with an OEM heat sink - these days they seem to go for +$5. This will of...

The Samsung 990 Pro is a M.2 "form factor" card. Does the motherboard in your PC have an M.2 port available? Expansion slots that take cards such as the graphics/video card on a motherboard are usually PCIe.

I was in a similar quandary recently – Win 10 sixth gen i5-6500 CPU running BI in a satisfactory manner. Elected to spring $227 and move to a 12th gen i5-12600K CPU, and that includes a new motherboard. New mobo because sixth gen ran in a LGA1151 socket, then came LGA1155, then LGA1200, and the...

Recently I was where you are regarding Pushover. Please see my post, #06 in this string: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/preferred-ways-to-get-push-notification-of-alerts-from-bi.74321/#post-834322

Swapped CPU and motherboard in Blue Iris PC a couple of days ago, and updated existing Windows 10 Pro license to Windows 11 Pro. CPU dropped to 0%-1% from 30% and higher, GPU (no physical change) dropped to 0%-1% from 15%-20% and now sometimes the GPU % does not even show at the bottom of BI...

Thanks, your suggestions have solved the problems. Chances are when the camera had first arrived I must have tinkered with it and rotated both lenses, and it had been in that state ever since. The explanation for same image on both channels turned out to be similar - both lenses were pointing...

Trying to install HDBW5441F-AS-E2 / boobie-cam in BI, cam purchased from Andy in March 2023. Fortunately found this thread, which reminded me about Channel 1 and 2 respectively. After correcting parameters as outlined by @wittaj above: Channel 1 showing image rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise in...

$226.95 plus sales tax, shipping included, got me a 12th gen CPU ($126.49 for new i5-12,600K, $100.46 for new LGA1700 socket Z690 motherboard with two NICs). The items were sitting in my cart; when I dropped, by a "combo" discount of $10 had become $78, and that did it. Minor assembly required...

I have a combination of these cams purchased in 2023, working fine in Blue Iris: T5442T-ZE HFW5241E-Z12E HDBW5441F-AS-E2 NCD800 (Annke/Hikvision) I have Samsung 256GB PRO Endurance micro SD cards in each of the cams and would like to put them to use. What are good practices and how does one...

The more I learn about Blue Iris, the more I realize how little I know about it and how much there is to learn. It helped me learn about PCs over the years when I could experiment with a PC without worrying I might “break” my primary PC. Let’s just say I became very efficient at re-installing...

@wittaj My cams are mostly Dahuas from your list of suggested cameras, and a couple of Hik's. Sounds like I should get to know better the capabilities of my cameras. Thanks for the suggestions. Also - you are a great resource for this forum, thank you for all your posts and responses which are...

When I needed a PC for Blue Iris in early 2023, I re-purposed an older PC I had laying around. Since then, I added three WD purple drives to it. The BI PC is a 2015/2016 build with an i5 6500 3.2 GHz (sixth gen) CPU, Z170 mini-ITX motherboard, 16 GB of DDR 3000 memory, a GTX960 video card, and...

If you have cameras operational, ask for a reduction on your house insurance premium and you might get it. Many insurers have a reduction for a central station connected security system. I asked and argued that a good camera system is an effective security system. Got a net premium reduction of...

Should somebody else find their way to this thread, key points I learned in setting up Pushover notifications: 1. The first post from @jaydeel in an extensive thread on Pushover has everything you need to get Pushover notifications operational from Blue Iris. All you have to do is copy one line...

After appearing to be solved, the problem appeared again intermittently. The new router arrived and is in service. Intermittent connectivity from mobile devices continued. At one point, I could connect from an iPad but not from an iPhone. On a hunch I checked the ZT app on the iPhone, and it...

I see what you mean (I should have figured that out!), thanks. So much for my speculation re. potential causation of my connectivity issue.

This is also a clue towards my connectivity problem. A few minutes after I had setup up a basic push notification in BI on a camera looking towards the road that goes past my house (hoping for a test alert), I got an alert. I first heard the alert tone (iPhone was nearby, but not in my hand). I...

Problems I am trying to resolve are: 1. What are the preferred ways to get push notification of alerts from BI? I have come across many references to the “Pushover” app. Isn’t the BI mobile app supposed to be able to handle push notifications? I have gathered that “Pushover” offers much...

I see what you mean. When I browse locally to the IP of the BI PC (two NICs), I am not connecting. I suspect when I was trying to set up alerts, I may have accidentally checked or unchecked a property, which has resulted in clobbered local access. If I can't access from another machine on LAN...

I got BI on PC to send an alert to the BI mobile app on my Apple mobile devices. But now access to BI from my iPhone and iPad does not work. I use zerotier for remote access and it has been working fine for months, prior to attempting to send alerts to mobile devices earlier today. Request...

The NCD800 has turned out to be an excellent camera for where I already have wire in place at the middle of a long wall. I updated the firmware to Hikvision firmware, and with help from earlier in this thread, got it working with BI. Recently I added a second NCD800 at a different wall. I...

Thanks folks, saw that stuff in other posts, though have not used it thus far. Wondering if there might be a hard plastic or metal solution, and whether the sealant would hold up outdoors over time.

Please see attached photos of a recently acquired Annke 191BI (rebranded from Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL). Request suggestions on how to close off the slot/hole on the side of the camera base. If left open, that slot would let insects enter the box and build nests. That base plate can be...

I just placed an order for the Annke NCD800 for $200/camera, flash deal, available either as bullet or turret model, at Annke.com. Excellent overview camera and best-ever price I have seen.

As promised, they sent the comparative video footage: 2023 0608 4K VS 2K video footage.zip I opened up the samples from the lower res cam and the 4K cam side by side on identical monitors. At first I thought one sample was showing license plates clearer than the other. Upon more careful...

I was searching for a dashcam to retrofit in my car and came across a possibility that looks promising. From what I have read in this forum regarding cams in general, an increase in resolution without increase in sensor size can be counter productive. Of course surveillance cams and dash cams...

Nice video, good sleuthing finding it. Did you figure out a box to mount this camera on? Mine is still sitting on a window sill and I am on the lookout for an enclosed ceiling/soffit mount box.

Updated that specific line at original post to make it clearer. Hope it helps.

When mounting a forum favorite 5442T turret camera on an eaves soffit with the ethernet cable coming through the soffit, one can use a PF130 or PFA122 box. The properly watertight connection of the ethernet cable to the camera pigtail can be stuffed into the enclosed box (I ended up abandoning...

I used to help my electrician friend working on my house, and got some practice. Using the pull string to pull a huskier string might be useful, as would cable grease. Also, try a back-and-forth motion, and "feel" the cable. For some reason cable and tubing sort of kink and double over in...
