    Blocking intel driver updates from Windows Update?

    Tried the steps below but it has happened yet again. I could disable Windows Update altogether but would rather not do this. Stop automatic driver updates on Windows 10 It always updates to the latest intel driver and then CPU usage is back to 100% ...

    Blue Iris top features wish list

    What are some things that would make Blue Iris even better? 1. Alerts by object type (cars, people, other). 2. Built in support for sub streams. If viewing a single cam, you might want 1080p detail, and it's efficient to record 1080p direct to disk. However it's very inefficient to scale down...

    VPN with Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and Google fiber

    The Google Fiber network box had some annoying symptoms that masked themselves as Blue Iris issues. It would frequently interfere with Blue Iris when viewing remotely, ie. freezing up or unable to reconnect. The wifi was less-than-stellar also, so even when I was home, I couldn't reliably view...

    Review of KKMOON 1080P Fisheye camera

    I ordered 3 Chinese cameras off eBay just to see how bad they really are. Here's the first. KKMOON Chinese fisheye camera ($65). Main points of interest: 1. Confirmed works with Hikvision NVR (and Blue Iris) 2. Limited web interface. Requires desktop software to change default IP...

    Alert spam when triggering groups

    I might be misunderstanding how this works (wouldn't be the first time), but my intent is to configure B/I to only generate an alert when the camera is triggered by motion. I want the cameras in the same group to record simultaneously, but no alert except for the camera triggered by motion...

    Having good luck with TinyCam Monitor

    Works with Blue Iris and produces a smooth framerate on Android. The Blue Iris viewer seems to be limited to about 8 FPS, but MJPEG setting on TinyCam Monitor seems to get full framerate. It also works directly with Hikvision & ONVIF cameras and supports hardware h.264 decoding (and most of the...

    What is safe to order? DS-7616NI-I2/16P DS-2CD2942F DS-2CD3345-I

    I have been going through piles of hikvision cameras and NVRs on Amazon, and seeing a lot of reviews mentioning the Chinese versions of their products. It's hard to tell the difference which suppliers are US vs Chinese, or if it really makes a difference for that matter. Just don't want to order...
