    My ideal camera will be an IP camera, ethernet. POE is not required, but is a bonus. It should have 8x optical zoom or better. Good night vision. It should be supported by Blue Iris and the focus control should work in Blue Iris. It is that last part, the focus control, that I have been...

    How to reduce "New" storage folder size?

    I have a WD 6TB Purple HD dedicated to BI "New" storage (d:\). I believe I over allocated the drive leaving only ~17GB free. Since I have 12 cams, each producing 1GB per cut, I think I'm too close and this will eventually cause problems. I don't know how to reduce or lower the New folder...
