    Any POE Cameras for Blue iris with an internal POE connection?

    Good Day All, Are there any good cameras for blue iris that hook up the way Unifi G4 cameras do internally? I've mainly only used Dahua/Hik cams for Blue iris. Love the cameras, but I need some low profile cameras running through brick, so don't want to have ugly boxes that the cameras are...

    Best Value Long Distance Camera

    I'm one of those cheap Dahua/Hikvision camera kinda guys. Have over 40 running on BI5.. I'm hoping to put up a house about 700ft from our shop. Curious on any recommendations for a decent but cheap varifocal camera that could keep an eye on construction from about 700ft. I'd prefer a varifocal...

    Hide disabled cameras in camera groups

    Hello, for some reason, since a recent update, my disabled cameras are showing up in the android app. I went into the app settings and set it to not show disabled cameras. That worked for the main camera list but if I go into a camera group, those disabled cameras are still there. (mainly...

    Blue Iris 5 Alerts Location?

    Quite possible I'm overlooking something simple, but ever since making the BI5 jump.... I can't figure out where my alerts are stored. I attached a picture of some different things I checked. When I go to the "save" location it's empty... If I right click an alert the "file location" is grayed...

    Another Blue Iris CPU post... opinion

    I know this is an over talked subject but wouldn't mind a quick opinion. I have a.. well.. the system listed in my signature and I really need to upgrade the CPU... my CPU.. although a 8core/16thread cpu is some cheap Chinese server version or something and is only clocked at 1.6GHZ. I'm...

    Stay with Hik or switch to Dahua.... ipc-hdw443c-a vs ds-2cd2342wd-i

    I have setup probably around 50 Hikvision cameras.. Have come to love the ds-2cd2342wd-i turrets, and I was getting them for $55. Here recently, due to china having to play fair, those prices have jumped a ton. I have never owned a Dahua, but have another area I am going to need to add cameras...

    Blueiris h264 with quicksync vs h265

    Currently I'm just using a big ol un-fancy processor to run my main system. (see my sig). Most all my cameras are now on h265 (although I believe currently, h264 gives a better picture on my hiks, h265 I assume uses less resources so that's what I do if the camera has the option). I'm always...

    WDR advice. It's being a wonderful/terrible thing

    So I recently installed 7 hikvision 4mp DS-2CD2145F-IS cameras running at 1080/10FPS with WDR on @70 (all other camera settings still stock). They have some dark hallways with LED "always on" fixtures at the doors. To fix this I use wdr and it really brightens the dark areas. However..... WDR...

    Blue Iris "user" server access?

    Hi, I am going to be training a school superintendent to use the actual blue iris server GUI via RDP, so that he can be in charge of monitoring/recording/ maybe schedules/etc. Is there a way to grant someone server access as a user, that way he can't totally screw something up? Thanks

    Multiple blue iris servers on one phone.

    So I like having my Blue iris app "auto login" but I'm coming to a point where I think I need to split cameras into different servers. I have our business and 3 different houses all bridged together right now, and now a school has come to me wanting me to be in charge of there property...

    Blue Iris notification and schedule limitations

    Quick question. I went ahead and setup a schedule that sends me notifications. Was curious... Is it possible to have notifications sent to different users for different schedules? For example. If I have a night schedule, could I have camera A notifications sent to mobile phone A and camera B to...
