    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Not sure if custom VPN Profiles are possible or easy to setup with IOS, but that would still send most of your traffic through your home internet connection. If ios allowed you to configure per-app VPN, that would be the saving grace, alas it does not. In terms of reverse proxy -- that may be...

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Yes. It is an unfortunate downside of not using a hosted service. You essentially have only 3 options on IOS going from bad to worse to worst. 1) Bad: only rely on SMS/EMail. 2) Worse: Have your home-VPN always on and route all your phone data traffic through your home's internet 3) Expose blue...

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Unfortunately this is how Blue Iris seems to be designed: it’s notifications need a direct accessible URI to an image. without a VPN you have to expose your BI server to the internet(which is a big NO-NO). Cloud-based services probably generate a one-use expiring URL that points to an image and...

    Can Push Notifications open the video/alert that triggered them?

    I finally got Push Notifications working on my latest IOs app -- 2.00.13. Even with images when im on the local network or VPN. One thing that does annoy me is that clicking on notification simply opens the app -- it does not take me to the alert that actually triggered this and that in itself...

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Hmm I stand corrected: started getting images soon after I changed the WAN ip So does that this is the notification on my phone trying to download the image in order to display it?

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    I tried that, same result. If the push notification has to refer back to a local image location, then I would have to not only set the WAN address correctly, i would have to expose BI to the world by doing port forwarding which is precisely what im trying to avoid and rely on VPN instead. So im...

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Send email to support. Do people who DO GET images in their push notifications expose their blue iris machine to the internet? or do they connect to it via VPN?

    No Image in IOS Push Notifications

    Hi Folks! I have finally got around to fully configure BI build 5.3.2.7 and tried to make Motion notifications work well with IOS mobile app. The problems i will describe existed with the previous version (1.63.10) and they still exist with latest version which just got released: 2.00.11 I...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Woah, a quick search revealed that deepstack currently supports intel's $75 Neural Compute Stick and it does pretty well on RPI4 + NCS: Using DeepStack on Raspberry PI4 with Coral USB Accelerator (USB3)

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Awesome project @neile ! It looks like you are running BI + dockerized home assistant, node red and your deepstack integration on the same machine. How much memory do you have on it and how cpu-intensive is your deepstack project? Ive been running home assistant and node red on a RPI 3 and its...

    Are you happy with iOS Blue Iris mobile app?

    @fenderman i hope you understand that I am trying to make up my mind based on the info I gathered here and observed testing. I’m absolutely open to learning more about BI, in fact that’s the reason I posted here. I got a lot of amazing and useful feedback and I’m not trying to convince anyone...

    Are you happy with iOS Blue Iris mobile app?

    Thanks for the news @fenderman -- Im glad to hear that the app will be updated soon and i will include it in my testing. About Synology, the DS Cam app that is used with Surveillance Station was last updated 5 months ago, and then 4 months before that, so there is a continuous stream of...

    Are you happy with iOS Blue Iris mobile app?

    I was referring to an iPhone app that hasn’t been updated in over a year and reading a few complaints in the reviews related to that. In that year there was an iOS 13 release as well as a BI5 release. These releases happened over 6 months ago, but no updates in the BI iPhone app. I think it’s a...

    Are you happy with iOS Blue Iris mobile app?

    Hey folks! This is the continuation of my research into viability of Blue Iris for my use case started here: 8 of Costco's Lorex E891AB and Synology Surveillance Station(and licenses) OR a windows pc + BlueIris One important factor for me is ability to react/respond to events on the go...

    First time setting up security system

    Honestly, while everybody is telling you that you are overspending on the computer, its ultimately up to you to decide. Personally, i would not want to invest in latest and greatest and instead buy to give yourself some margin and then iteratively upgrade if possible. By the time you may...

    First time setting up security system

    FYI based on what i read on this forum in the past few days, i would steer clear of AMD CPUs for now as only Intel cpus(and 6gen and up) support a QuickSync technology used by BI

    THank you @mat200 -- main reason im here is your consistent feedback on SlickDeals. Did you mean to link to a "the thread" above about BI? I am curious about part 2) -- Synology seems like a path of least resistance and least maintenance. I wonder what steers people like myself(looking to get...

    These 2 Latest Lorex 4k Cams + Ubiquiti (UniFi) 4k Cam?

    @ArmoredDragon thanks for sharing a lot of your insights spent configuring this kit. I also found the included NVR somewhat acceptable(including Lorex Home app), but inability to do remote live-view on a computer made me start looking for alternative software NVR solutions: 8 of Costco's Lorex...

    8 of Costco's Lorex E891AB and Synology Surveillance Station(and licenses) OR a windows pc + BlueIris

    Another question is in terms of codecs: What are pros/cons of using H265 vs H265 with these cameras and these VMSes(BI or Synology)? Is one of them more CPU intensive than the other? Looks like the browser support for H265 is non-existant...

    HI Folks! I recently got to install recent Lorex POE 8-camera kit being sold in Costco and I do find the NVR it came in semi-adequate and somewhat workable with the Lorex Home mobile app, but the lack of ability to Live View remotely without a obsolete browser plugin made me look elsewhere, and...
