jurek Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi, it depends what do you need to do with BI.You can access BI on local Lan via browser (I am using Chrome or Firefox). You need to set up in BI Settings -> Web server. Enable http local lan ip address access.If you want to control IB via HTTP API json commands, use Github software in Phyton ( by Magnus Appelquist magapp/blueiriscmd) or my Java port jurek1oo/blueiriscmdj. Let me know how it went. Jurek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBill Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have about 30 cameras now on Blue Iris (actually two computers busy with it). It is so powerful and fast and emails me issues and is totally controllable. I have not found anyhting in Control 4 that tempts me into trying to put it there. By the time the cameras come on line in Control 4 there is nothing there any more. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is alot of information out there but other peoples experience is much more reliable with what actaully works. Or did you build it?

I use two junk computers - they are total trash - nothing spectaclar at all - there are a couple of things that you can do to make the CPU usage drop incredibly on the computer so that you can easily ahve 15 cameras running on one computer with 70 percent utilization as well.

Around $150 for a decent PC. Here is one for $155.
