Blue Iris

Hi everyone!

I just purchased a few NEST indoor camera's for remote viewing of my model train set. I'm trying to avoid the Nest Aware costs for occasional on-demand recording so I'm taking a look at Blue Iris. I installed the BI demo and have everything working, however, there is about a 15-20 second delay on the live preview screen in BI as compared to the NEST smartphone app and NEST Home website. I tried all the recommended settings from the post below, but with no success...

30 second wait time and CPU lag - https://blueirissoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=355

My NEST camera's are running on my home 5.0GHZ Wifi network with motion detection disabled.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

JJ

Pardon me for jumping in, but I just bought BI a few days ago and have not been able to discover/add my nest outdoor cameras. Could you share your method for getting your nest cameras to function in BI? Very grateful!

I think the author of the software made one huge mistake when designing the "demo" version of the software by not making it fully functional but with a watermark. The problem with his approach is that he doesn't allow some very common performance settings which could be crucial to properly diagnosing the problem such as using Direct-to-DIsk. Now he has a prospective customer who might not buy because of the limitations in the demo. Terrible marketing in my opinion.

But... I can't offer many suggestions for the demo version.

You could PM me your URL and setting and I can check if I am seeing a delay. Just a thought.
