I disabled ONVIF authentication (in Network -> Access Platform for my cameras) so I could access the camera via ONVIF Device Manager and set the time there. Now I can't work out what's going on. As I write this, it's 11:54 AM here. Enabling the "Automatically adjust for daylight saving time...

It looks like the cameras are using UTC even though they have the correct time zone set. The authentication issue happens in ONVIF Device Manager too.

I started seeing this too. I checked that the time on all cameras is correct - The cameras sync their time using the NTP server on my Windows Server 2022 VM that runs Blue Iris, so they've always got exactly the same time. I also checked that the DST settings on the cameras are set correctly for...

I get very few false alerts with smart motion, and I use CodeProjectAI with a Google Coral to avoid them.

I found it easier to use Node-RED than Home Assistant for camera notifications. My flow is pretty basic but you could do different things depending on the camera. This is how my MQTT payload is configured in Blue Iris: Topic: BlueIris/&CAM/alert-image-b64 Payload...

Hmm, I'll have to double-check, but I think the Dahua person detection does fire this ONVIF event. Do you have both "Video Detection" and "Smart Video Detection" enabled on the cameras? BOTH have to be enabled for it to work - it won't work with just Smart Video Detection enabled.

Frigate uses "tiny" models and a lot of people still find value in it. Some even use Frigate and BI concurrently for whatever reason.

I haven't measured the temperature of mine but I don't think they get too hot. Idle power consumption is ~400mW and maximum is 2W, so there shouldn't be a lot of heat to dissipate. If you look at table 2 in the data sheet: https://coral.ai/static/files/Coral-M2-datasheet.pdf It shows that the...

I've got the dual-edge one: https://coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu/ I use it with this PCIe adapter: https://www.makerfabs.com/dual-edge-tpu-adapter.html Works great. The two TPUs are exposed as two separate PCIe devices, so you can use them in two different VMs if you wanted to.

My guess is that the Coral TPU detector is using a smaller model size. You can't change the model size for the Coral at the moment, but my guess is that it's using either a tiny or small model. Frigate uses a tiny model and thus is much less accurate with its default config. The API is...

Even though DeepStack support in Blue Iris is deprecated, it still works even in the latest version.

The Coral USB should work in a VM. The M.2 Coral definitely works - I'm running Blue Iris in a Windows Server 2022 VM running in KVM via Proxmox. Works fine.

I use Node-RED for my notifications and it works well. The function node is: I like it because you're not restrained in what you can do compared to configuring alerts in a UI. It's just JavaScript code so you can easily modify the code to do whatever you want.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the info! I ended up switching to using &JSON instead. Here's my JS code that I use in a Node-RED function node:

Ohhh! Now I understand. Sorry I misread your comment the first time - thanks for editing it to add more detail. This works. It still adds IsMotion="true" to the memo in some cases (which I really don't need in there and would like to get rid of), but at least it doesn't truncate the...
