    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I think you mean 12 megapixels at night. 16 x 4 would be 64.

    Help with UI3 and Tailscale

    For 99.99% of users the "Bind exclusively" checkbox is just asking for issues since that prevents Blue Iris from accepting connections on all network interfaces. Leave it unchecked. There's nothing that needs to change in Blue Iris to support Tailscale or any other VPN. Tailscale IP addresses...

    Abusive Boyfriend tries to run over girlfriend who jumped out of moving car - Instead Hits a Parked Car

    The video doesn't make it clear he was trying to run her over, does it?? Looked more like she was just trying to escape and he was trying to follow and not watching where he was going well enough. Either way the guy needs one of the bigger books thrown at him I think.

    What contributes most to your utility bills? Usage or the Delivery cost?

    Usage by far is the most expensive part. I use a lot of electricity.

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I apologize for not being super familiar with cloned camera behavior but I am not sure if your clones are actually sharing the decoder there. 1073.8 MP/s is a lot of video being processed, and you might be running into limits of memory bandwidth. If your machine is dual socket, I am pretty sure...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    It honestly shouldn't even require a restart.

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    If BI runs then you should be fine. It won't be able to start if the C++ thing is not installed. It just sounds like the installation procedure was done a little sloppy; it should NOT ask you to restart before the install is fully completed but Ken likely didn't wire up the C++ redist...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    Relatively seamless yes. If anything 5.9.9.98 is more of a beta release.

    Cant Figure It Out - Blue Iris Alerts - Going Nuts

    Probably Zerotier's fault. The service has been going downhill. Switch to Tailscale.

    Can the cameras in BI6 not be arranged the same way as in BI5?

    Most or all of Blue Iris 6's layout differences were done in Blue Iris 5, so I'm guessing you were running quite an old version of BI 5. You're probably referring to the old "1-up", "4-up", etc options. Those are still available, but you need to click the "edit layout" button Then right...

    The future of Ubiquiti - it does not seem they will go down a slippery slope and do bad for their customers

    I am curious what is the difference between a regular network switch and one that is optimized for "AV" streaming. Because generally speaking a regular wired ethernet switch will have only a few microseconds of latency and 0% packet loss at virtually all times (unless the stuff you plug into...

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    20-50 Mbps is a lot more than enough for good remote camera viewing. The performance issue is probably just from bad latency and/or packet loss. Unless your VPN solution is relayed through a third party that isn't performing well.

    UI3 doesn't switch to main stream when viewing single camera (Live View and Timeline)

    Yup I have no idea what is wrong then. Better email BI support and hopefully they will have some idea. I'm guessing they will need you to export the BI settings and send to them.

    UI3 doesn't switch to main stream when viewing single camera (Live View and Timeline)

    Also worth a look at your Streaming 0 profile configuration in Blue Iris (find this in BI Settings > Web server > Advanced) and reset that profile to defaults.

    UI3 doesn't switch to main stream when viewing single camera (Live View and Timeline)

    Ok there is something strange going on. The camera config looks fine, and the BI Status > Cameras looks fine (except that sub stream frame rates are mostly lower than the main stream, but I doubt that is related to this resolution issue). One problem is, it appears Blue Iris is reporting that...

    UI3 doesn't switch to main stream when viewing single camera (Live View and Timeline)

    I am unaware of any recent bugs that would cause this. The only way I know of to have UI3 get "stuck" with a substream is to restart the camera while UI3 is actively streaming it. At least in the past, Blue Iris would fail to switch to sending the main stream if UI3 requested the video feed...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    You should contact Blue Iris support about it. It is definitely broken and with no hint of what is wrong, that is really the only thing I can think of to do. Service mode is a good idea even if only just so that if Blue Iris crashes it will start again automatically.

    I Fell Down the Pixel Rabbit Hole

    Not bad for $600 I guess, at least until the lamp dies. I'm curious how it compares with the cheap 98" TV. The sheer mass of such a TV scares me off. The hassle to move and install it, to dispose of it when it stops working or otherwise becomes obsolete. It is too much for me. That is why I...

    I Fell Down the Pixel Rabbit Hole

    For sure, a lot of people's TVs are some combination of too small and too far away for 4K resolution to be "worth it". I have a 150 inch projection screen and my current projector is only 1080p. But because my typical viewing distance is roughly 17 feet, I cannot really discern individual...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    Check Blue Iris's log to see if it mentions anything about the web server. If they went to the effort of putting a warning/error icon into the user interface, they might have logged something. Or the icon might have a tooltip if you mouse over it. One fairly common obstacle is having multiple...

    Remote access issue with BI 6

    @Techie007L didn't really explain why it is happening. The theory is that you could be getting burned by Blue Iris's new "security" features which automatically ban IP addresses suspected of being unwanted automated traffic. You can search the Blue Iris 6 changelog for the word "ban" to find...

    Other people can stream your feed.

    Consider doing a youtube livestream. There are also some dedicated IP camera streaming services out there but they charge a subscription fee whereas youtube will let you livestream for free. Many other solutions are going to involve a much bigger learning curve and potential risks. For...

    Things my spouse or partner does that drives me nuts!

    I have many of the same gripes but not from a spouse or partner. I live with two brothers. One of them is a big-time germophobe, so he almost can't walk past a sink without washing his hands. That would be fine, except he gets water everywhere because he always goes for paper towels before...

    UI3 version: 320 Blue Iris version: 6.0.5.1 - White screen

    A white-screen failure is new to me. You say the screen turns completely white except for a red error box. Is it actually the entire screen or is it only the rectangle used by the video player? Can you recognize if the error box is one of UI3's error toast messages? They look like this near...

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    For years I have just been buying used or refurbished hard drives. Only those verified to have no bad sectors. And I've had no more failures than I used to get from buying new. The prices are a lot higher than they used to be but I believe they are still cheaper than buying new. Ebay tends...

    CPU usage after upgrading to BI 6 ?

    They did mess around with hardware acceleration around the end of BI 5.x and start of 6.x. You should complain to Blue Iris support because that is a huge performance regression. In the meantime, are you using sub streams in your Blue Iris configuration? It'll save a massive amount of CPU if...

    @lasocean best to email Blue Iris support about it if you have time. It is not a UI3 bug -- it is Blue Iris.

    Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update

    Well I know BI 6 broke and then fixed (months later) the Nvidia hardware encoding. I don't know what if anything changed with decoding. I really don't know what else could be wrong to cause this. Everything you've shown or told me about your configuration seems like it should be fine. Seems...

    Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update

    I do see that you are currently using Nvidia hardware decoding on all those cameras. I do not know if that is in a good functional state right now but my past experience with Blue Iris's hardware acceleration says you just shouldn't use it anymore.
