Blue Iris DETAILED Walk Through - Every Feature 

"DETAILED" walk through: "there is just a lot you can do".... Wow!! Such detailed explanation

Been a user of BI for 1 year and this is the best most informative video I have watched so far. More in-depth on motion, alerts, triggers would be fantastic.

Thanks. This was very helpful! Just ordered Blue Iris and 3 cameras to do some testing. This is great that you are making these videos. Have a great day! 😀

Excellent video! Well done and very easy to follow. Thanks.

I saw your other video regarding about high CPU usage ...Man I have been using BI for almost 1.5 years now lol.. I left every thing by default and I never play mind to the CPU usage. So I followed your steps by reducing my CPU by more than half.. Good job!

very informative. Thank you for making this channel. Looking forward to the schedule video.

Great video!! I'm new to this whole arena, but my boss is heavily into it and recommended BI. Your videos are super helpful and keep me from having to ask him a lot of questions!

Great video. Your presentation is easy to follow. Thank you so much.

Love that you just created this channel. Lots of older videos out there so for someone thats looking into standing up a system, this is extremely valuable! Any chance that you could go through the cameras that you have set up? PC specs, networking configurations, POE switch options, VPN/pfsense config, etc? Keep up the good work! Also would love to support a Patreon if thats something you're considering.

Thanks, great video using the most current version, now I have a better understanding of the layout. Purchased mine 3 weeks ago and been racking my brains a bit. Been watching 2yr + old video's that's not the greatest help, especially when they rush through it like you know it. Thanks for keeping it slow. Supposedly Blue iris is able to use external devices for triggers such as home automation systems , but I don't see anything in the menu, unless I'm just blind. Looking forward to more videos from you. Thanks

Thanks for a cool video. I have been using Blue Iris for many years now. I also use Blue Iris to trigger my Home Automation (Home Assistant) (MQTT)

Nice review - thanks! I’m setting this up, and will use your affiliate link!

allot of good information, thank you

Very helpful. Would be great to add chapters to the longer videos.

Great video - look forward to more! Question.. I'm looking to auto track a person walking through my yard via my PTZ camera. I can't find the setting anywhere. Any guidance?

Great video, super helpful in tuning our 22-camera BI system! We are a boutique hotel with a small lot in a high demand area. We just enabled License plate detection. How might you recommend setting up cameras for license plate detection of legally parked cars? We hope to not keep a white list, but rather a black list of illegally parked neighborhood cars. My instinct is that our security personnel (who already sweep the parking lot a few times a night with an iPad in hand) manually scan the lot with a camera. Any suggestions for a camera or a better workflow?

good explanation

Very good! Please update to latest version. Thanks!

Sir, When configuring the deepstack AI, is the settings on a global level or on a camera level.

Can you get an evaluation version of the software, to test functionality with my Reolink cameras? Can you hook the Reolink cameras both into the BI and Reolink's NVR software? TIA

I've gotten pretty far with this software, following your videos. Though one thing that I seem stuck on, is with the audio talk feature, which I can't seem to get working on my 811A camera. - seems to work well enough with the Reolink software, though I can't seem to figure out how to toggle the mic to talk feature - any idea if that's possible with Blue Iris?

Just found your video from 2 years ago. Got my Dell today and will be setting up thos week. I dont see a link for the recommended cameras....

Why is the ONVIF motion trigger for special use cases? Wouldent it reduce the systems resource consumption if motion detection is done on camera?

Can you do a video on PTZ/spotter cameras?

I feel like I am an expert now and I don't even have Blue Iris. :)

I am trying to set up an outdoor live stream. could you recommend some pan tilt outdoor wifi cameras that will stream to youtube please :) thank you

Please help Why the "Alerts" tab in Blue Iris is empty on my iphone. I am very sure it trigged. Thanks for your time

hi my timer on my cameras slows or stops the runs fast to catch up if i add a 4th camera, is the processor maxing out , or do i need more memory .. ntel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz 24gb ram ALIEN WARE M17 R4.. the processor will max out if all triggered and then the timer really slows down and sometime s stops... will more memory help this...

Can Blue Iris control an NVR made by another manufacturer on a local home network? Like the Axis S3008 Recorder - Network Video Recorder

merci 👌

Do you have a setup video? I am using a webcam.

Hi can you help my camera works but when I try to play the clip it says file corrupted, then when I go to file location it plays fine.

Is their any option to set a camera up to record continuous at a slow 2 frames second then upon detect motion trigger or on alert have the camera increase recording frame rate 16 frames a second for example. My thought is this would minimize recording bits and yet allow the system to have higher video recording rate upon detection, alert or AI condition. One I though I can accomplish this is to clone a camera x and set it to record at high resolution main stream at a slow 2 frames a second and mean while in parallel have then the 2nd clone x camera trigger to record at higher camera frame rate. I would expect this second clone camera would run on the sub stream to generate the motion/AI/alert trigger. My thought is this arrangement would allow me to not missing anything in the scene in the event the BI trigger or alert method fail to capture scene change. Thoughts any one.

Clips and archiving new vs stored, what if you just want a local copy of the high rez footage, what is new vs stored then?

Good video sir.

Can you do a video on the Blue Iris phone app ?

On the UI3 port I tend to leave the local port the same but change the remote port.

Does Blue Iris require communication with company servers to function? Can I block Blue Iris servers with my firewall and still retain all internet functionality?

Hi.. We are setting up blueiris for our home and would like to have some support. Can you help?

To my favorite Blue Iris Guru (Yes, shameless butt-kissing on my part :) I have a question that so many users would like to find an answer to. I am ashamed to admit that after so many years of using B.I. and managing a rather complex system of 16 cameras I still manage to 'miss the action' more often than I would like to admit. While I know that the simple answer is to record 24/7 I can only do this practically on just 2 of my cameras. On the rest I need to rely on motion activation. I simply cannot seem to find the right combination of Make Time, Break Time, Re-trigger, etc. that will not still leave gapping holes in my coverage. For example: Let's say that I would like to have my camera record for 60 seconds after a trigger and then stop (unless it is re-triggered during those 60 seconds) in which case it will continue to record until the action stops. I seem to be able to do this alright. BUT, after it stops I need to know that it will begin to record again IMMEDIATELY upon the next trigger and basically do the same thing that it did before. It seems that the 'second time around never' comes around fast enough and I miss that next event. As I read in someone's post with the this same question: "The UPS guy walks up the driveway and gets recorded doing so. As he goes around to the back door and out of sight the recording stops. When he then returns down the same path (all of which is set for motion trigger) he is not recorded at all". I would be so grateful if you or someone here could shed some light on this for those of us who haven't been able to get to the bottom of this. Thanks for all of the great videos you make. You have helped me out a lot.

Hey there would it be possible for you to look over my set up and help advise me of any changes? I will glady pay

timestamps? not into scrubbing thru 1hr to find what Im looking for

When I checked off 'Run Windows as a service" it asked for a password. I tried the BI admin password and also the BI user password but no luck turning this on. What password does it want?

Came here looking for something specific and see there are no chapter markers. Moving on.

Where is Web UI video?

REALLY, No time line?

8 damn ads. Cmon!

I feel like this is a bit biased video. Did you get paid by Blueiris?

Hey man, please add timestamps to your video description, as this will also categorize your video into sections....not particularly interested in searching through an hour of footage.

It would have been a lot more helpful if you included timestamps in the description. Event highlight does not work at all. Finally, after spending a ton of time searching for schedules in your video, I find it. And as with all BI videos, it was no help at all. I still can not make a global schedule work where I feel confident I understand it and it is going to work. It seems to me that no one understands BI schedules, or how to draw them, so they make a video and gloss over it. Look anywhere, any video, even BI support video, and they are all awful at detailing how to properly setup, up and understand scheduling.

I only say this because you said you were gonna walk through everything - why don't you start with how to add the camera so that the pan tilt and zoom works. Or maybe discuss why triggering isn't working. With this is a demo version, I'm using those are the features I need to know if they work or not. If they're not compatible with my camera, then your software does me no good. And unless I pay Blue Iris more money besides the $90 for the software, I get NO SUPPORT. OR very little.

Not great... just reads thru the menus, I can do that on my own. And too many references to... Ill make another video (and read those menu items later).

Sorry but I did not find this video as useful as others. The title is misleading, you even point out many times in your video, to get the full details i'll have to make a video about it....well my guy...that is what I expected from the title of this video! Lol. I will check out your other vids but just wanted to let ya know that the title does set an expectation, as I was wanting a break down of everything but thanks for the content.

When these "developers" finally fix "Failed to load. Click to learn more" issue when you restore browser window after some inactivity. Have to F5 every time. So fking annoying. No one sees that? So obvious bug everyone faces day to day and no fix in years. How come?

very bad video. you explain the things that everybody knows. what about sunrise, clone master...

Hardly call that DETAILED
