I also run a Homeseer home automation system on a Windows VM, and have a few tablets set with Imperihome constantly showing a few of the camera feeds.
#Blue iris setup android
I pull up the stream via blue iris android app from home, work, tablet, phone, on the road, etc with no problem. All in all, it has been incredibly reliable. It has been plenty of power for me so far. I am running 6 cores of an e5-2670V1 with 4gigs of ram. I do send my alert snapshots to an array protected share, as BI lets you configure what goes where and when. 6 POE cameras, 4 always recording to a WD purple drive set outside my array. I just wish there was a docker container for unRAID for it so we could ditch the dedicated VM.įor reference to a couple of your questions, I am also running a Windows VM for my BI setup.
And yeah stay with BlueIris, I've used it for years, I also thought he grass might be greener, but it's not. If you think you're OK getting by with emailed attachments, that's your choice but in the event something unfortunate happens, you're going to want the best data your camera's recorded at time time.
Odds are your VM vdisk size can be enough, especially when paired with what should be absolutely required for your setup, a off-site sync to a cloud server. As for UD? If you don't mind keeping that WD Purple constantly spun up for writes, then go for it. The paradigm though is very heavy on i/o writes, which makes putting it on the array a poor choice. Unless something happens, in which you usually know within hours or days, the recordings are worthless. Maybe then you'd be able to just keep your recordings cahed locally within your VM's vdisk (assuming that's on your cache drive) and then also use a off-site cloud backup to sync all your recordings as they are created.įor 99% of people, cam recordings are throwaway data. So I am learning about unRAID and if that can meet my needs, so I am here asking questions.īI can be tweaked if you haven't already to run those 4 cameras and VM on 2 cores, 4GB RAM.Īsk yourself how long you need to keep you recording. I'm not staying where I'm at with my current setup. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, but the sentiment of "don't try, stick with what you've got because I'm skeptical of you/your abilities," is weird to me. If not, I'm going to run Blue Iris, which I have been happy wth. I however am open to other option should someone make a convincing argument for an alternative that may work better for me/my setup. I have been using it for years, which is why I am asking about a VM for it. Only way I will be "far more experienced" is by learning and doing.
I am constantly reading, asking, trying, and learning with unRAID, is that not the point? I think unRAID can be a good option for me, so I am exploring that.

If not UD and if not a disk as part of the array, then what?įor Blue Iris I am currently running 4 1080p Hikvision POE cams. I was hoping to hear from other Blue Iris VM users as to what their setups looked like so I could make some better estimations, but I can also just fine tune mine as I go. I'll ask it over in the Blue Iris community.

To sum it up, don't dive head first into unRAID to start running critical applications on, whether it be your security cameras, your router software or your VPN, etc.
#Blue iris setup license
If you don't own a BI license and have the time and patience to explore, then go for it. if you already purchased a BlueIris license, then my advice to you is simply don't bother with the others, the grass isn't greener. As for ZoneMinder and others, it's easy answer. If so I dare them to post their requirements and configuration and justify it. I have lots of experience, enough to know that it's a very narrow configuration in which it makes sense to run it on unRAID I'm sure many will chime in telling me I'm wrong in response to this. It'll save you a lot of hassle early on, and given you a much less stressful environment to learn in. My advice is simply to stay where you now running Blue Iris, don't migrate it to unRAID until you're far more experienced. But IMHO both are poor choices and this question makes me even further skeptical that I couldn't assume anything about your setup, or your level of knowledge, cause honestly I'd do neither of those paths you asked about. Yes you can use UD, Yes you could also add a drive to the array so it's only used for this singular function. With a VM it's pretty easy to add/subtract cores or memory to fine tune it. All I can suggest is to take a look at what you're running Blue Iris on today, and make a determination from there what's the equivalent to try in UnRAID.
Question like this is better suited for Blue Iris message boards. Too many variables here given what little is known about your setup. I've had some experience along the same path you're about to travel.
