    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Have you ever had remote access to blue Iris using Wireguard when VPN is running on the Blue Iris PC? Is VPN needed? Maybe Wireguard works in a similar way to ZeroTier. As I recall, VPN must be turned off to stop it screwing up the routing in ZeroTier’s private network.

    Comparing object detection YOLOv5 6.2 with YOLOv8

    OK Mike, many thanks for your help. I had checked Auto start/configure when trying to figure out what was wrong. I'll take that as a lesson not to change several things at the same time without making a record. I'll run only with default v8 object detection for a while and then decide in due...

    Comparing object detection YOLOv5 6.2 with YOLOv8

    Mike, I'm honored you found the time to reply to the likes of me - thank you. I had seen that the "Use custom folders" field was blank so knew it wasn't working. I used Task Manager to restart the BI service (Run as a Windows service is definitely checked). Unfortunately, it made no...

    Comparing object detection YOLOv5 6.2 with YOLOv8

    Happy New Year guys I've been using YOLOv5 6.2 ipcam-dark with ipcam-animal for a long time. It's good but not perfect and so decided to give YOLOv8 a go. There isn't a v8 custom model identifying vehicle and animal types so used the default model. I installed and started both v5 and v8...

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    Thank you Errrr. I’ve updated my camera with this 2017 firmware. I’m sure this will be the final update produced for my 2015 camera. Not fully tested yet but it seems to be working OK except it has the same limitation as the 2015 FW in that it is not recognised in Blue Iris as a branded...

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    2015-06-07 file attached. Actually, having at first being pleased with this firmware, I've now discovered that it still has some of the problems that I thought were introduced when I updated to the 2016-05-17 firmware - although on the good side the camera doesn't hang. Consequently, I would...

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    I had previously loaded the cam with defective 2016 firmware but the v2.400.0000.4.R.20150607 sent to me by Kitsap works perfectly with my 2015 cam. I have already thanked him. RyanMM take note!

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    I think there may be confusion about the hardware version. Tinman’s older version is 2018 whereas RyanMM and I have the older still 2015 hardware. We still need the 2.4xxx 2015-06-07 firmware.

    Triggers with new zones/sources

    I’ll be interested to see how you get on with this feature kaltertod. I did check out BI’s help file but it didn’t help me. I was hoping that fenderman would take a moment to reply - he knows everything!

    Triggers with new zones/sources

    Thanks for the idea jrbeddow although I have previously tried checking “Begin analysis with motion-leading image” and it didn’t seem to overcome the fundamental limitation of restating the pre-trigger time. I’ll check again.

    Triggers with new zones/sources

    Yes kaltetod, I guess a clone could be configured to do the same thing. Thank you. I would still ask, though, is there any point in having “Triggers with new zones/sources” for a camera already in a triggered state if the pre-trigger time blocks the AI?

    Triggers with new zones/sources

    I’ve tried out the Alert_When_“Triggers with new zones/sources” is selected instead of “New triggers only”, the reason being that the current version of CPAI still occasionally erroneously reports “Nothing found” and I thought that, when viewing confirmed alerts only, selecting this function...

    Have broken CP.AI - help please?

    Hello kaltertod, many thanks for your helpful reply. I haven’t yet found the solution but am working on it. I realised that the .onnx modules had not extracted, presumably because the file BITE67 had a .tmp file extension instead of .zip. So I was able to change and extract. I hadn't ever...

    Have broken CP.AI - help please?

    I have been happy with CP.AI for some time but saw a recent post suggesting that YOLOv5 6.2 is more accurate than YOLOv5 .NET, especially having a T600 with CUDA11.7. So I uninstalled CP and reinstalled but now it doesn't work with either and I don't know how to fix it. Example below why I...
