I’ve been using sharptools for my BI cams for a few years, always been happy with it. Recently I acquired a cam with audio, and I’m wondering what I’m missing. I can’t hear the audio using the current method.
Is is possible to hear the audio? Works fine directly through BI interface, but doesn’t translate through sharptools, which is currently live video only.
The Media Tile integration is more of a static or streaming image type of integration. MJPEG, the streaming format used as shown in your final screenshot, is basically just streaming a series of JPEG still images as video, so it fundamentally doesn’t include audio.

There’s also an alternative approach where you can embed the Blue Iris UI3 dashboard directly into a Custom Tile. That lets you take advantage of all the features of the UI3 dashboard including rich modern streaming options, audio, etc. The tradeoff being that it’s enclosed in a Custom Tile so you can’t tap to get a large overlay (not sure if the standard fullscreen works or not)
Thanks for the reply, and it shows the shocking gaps in my knowledge!
Rughto, I’ve almost got this sorted without the need for vpns, stunnel and the like.
Before I post my solution, I’ve hit an odd stumbling block. I use fully kiosk browser. I also love the use of modal windows within my sharptools dash.
Oddly, this is working fine on my phone, using fully kiosk. It also works fine on my home pc, using chrome.
Oddly (again), if I run FKB on my partners phone I get the same result as using chrome on my mobile. Basically, I try to run a modal link to a ui3 page and I’m met with a “sorry this is taking too long” message. Opening a new window is fine.
Righto, this is how I have this setup, which works well for my usage.
Basically, I’ve avoided using the media tile.jpg route so I can see live footage in a small tile, without the load on the server. Plus (more importantly), I can click it to see a large version, which clicking again takes me to a full ui3 view.
