    Motion Detection - Oject size exceeds

    I emailed Ken and he confirmed that the Object Size Exceeds percentage refers to the "Total Image Size", not just the active pixels. Hope this helps someone in the future :)

    Test Run Video Through Motion Detector

    As I'm playing around with it more, I think my issue had to do with profiles. I have my profiles set for each camera from commands sent to Blue Iris from an outside program...seems like when using Test Run Through Motion Detector, it is running through my Profile #1 - Blue Iris's default...

    Test Run Video Through Motion Detector

    giel - thanks for the reply. Have you used the feature and if so, do you use it with a clip from a previous alert or do you use footage from 'continuous' recording? Trying to figure out why it's not working for me :)

    Test Run Video Through Motion Detector

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I get a clip generated by sun/shadows activating the motion detector on a cam. I have the rectangles turned on and so I see the location in the image where the motion is taking place. I replay the clip, and select "Test Run Video Through Motion...

    Duh, thank you sooo much!! I have been using the App for years and I guess I have just gone blind to what was staring me in the face :) It works perfectly!!

    App Playback Continuous Recordings

    I have two of my cams set to Continuous Record and also motion trigger. Many times, the cam does not get triggered because of the balancing act that I have to play between too many triggers and no triggers :) I can easily view the triggered clips in the App. Is there anyway to view the...

    Motion Detection - Oject size exceeds

    Anybody ever hear back definitively from Ken on whether this refers to the 'frame' or the total of the zones? I think that Blue Iris ignores areas that are not in Zones and so if you don't create a large mask zone - then I'm thinking that it is only going to take into an account the pixel...

    Change Profile - ONLY one camera

    Thanks for the reply fenderman :) I tried a global schedule override, but that did not work. Could it be because I don't use a global schedule, but rather select the global profile via a http command? I would use the global schedule, but I don't think there is a way to select the profile...

    Change Profile - ONLY one camera

    I can use an http command to change the global profile, but how can I do it for ONLY a specific camer? I tried the following and other variations with no luck. Is anyone doing this? http://IP:Port/admin?camera=SideYard&profile=6&user=XXXXX&pw=XXXXXX...

    MIke A., ...So, I guess the big question is: How do I illuminate the street better without flood lights on the front of the house? Humm

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z vs Z12 - Iris Adjustment Option

    In the picture, I switched the Camera to Manual so that the setting options should 'in theory' match the setting options on the Z12. Actually, I have it set to Auto because when I switch it to Manual and enter a shutter speed like 1/1000, or even much less, I can not get the image to look...
