Understood. Thank you all for the suggestions.

Hi, I'd like to buy my very first POE cameras for my recent Blue Iris server build. Where I live, Reolink and Annke seem to be the only two viable options. Most other brands commonly mentioned here are either unavailable, overpriced, or sold through small websites I'd rather not rely on...

Hi, I came across some threads that said that BI had been built for Windows 10, but those were from last year. Nowadays, what would be the preferred Windows version? I have free access to Windows 10, 11, Server 2019, and Server 2022. Thanks

The CPU did feel a bit overkill to me too, but that's what the wiki suggests for custom builds: "If you want to buy or build a new machine, use the most recent CPU hardware generation from AMD or Intel." That said, I'm fine with this, because I'd like this build to last pretty much forever and...

@whoami ™ It's for home. I'd like all my builds to be rackmountable moving forward. @JDreaming & @Flintstone61 : I was thinking of following this video's advice, and recording events in 4K only when AI detects a person, which for most cameras should be rare, since most will point at my...

Hi, I'd like to build a powerful rackmount server exclusively for running Blue Iris with AI-detection. I've been following the guide available on the wiki. Below is the parts list I have so far. My goal is to manage a dozen 4K cameras to begin with, but have plenty of room to grow. For...
