    Looking for BI/Home Automation advice

    I have had BI for about 2 years. All cams were wireless Wansview cameras (which I like and never had issues with). Running all 9 cams wireless, I had to drop resolution. I finally got around to hardwiring all the cams and now need to proceed to my next step. I am fairly new to Automation and...

    long time issue with cams dropping fixed

    Just an update. All my cameras were wireless. I wired in one camera and the reliability of all of them has increased tremendously.

    Help with Watchdog

    Some added info... I have the BI service running as a local admin. I got the script to kick off, however..... In the watchdog tab, I can set the timeout period for 120 seconds and put to fire the script off after 2 timeouts. The script will fire in 120 seconds. The log never shows and increase...

    Android app crashing

    It is very sporadic. I have some devices that crash immediately upon opening, repeat 4 times and it fires up....

    long time issue with cams dropping fixed

    Looks as if the video freezes without notification of connection loss. I switched to channel 2 of my cams, which is a much reduced bitrate and everything seems to be stable. I am still not sure why the web interface for the cams stay up and running at higher resolutions and BI craps out, but...

    Help with Watchdog

    I am trying to run the watchdog in BI to do the following: after 5 timeouts (set to 60 seconds per timeout) - Restart camera after 10 timeouts - Reboot camera, if possible after 15 timeouts, execute script to reboot server. I have everything set up, what I believe to be correct, but upon...

    long time issue with cams dropping fixed

    Oh, and I turned on keep alives for the main instance of each camera, not all of them. I have duplicates (or triplicates) of each cam. The keep alives should only need to go to the main instance, this way I am not flooding the camera multiple times. That's my logic anyway.

    long time issue with cams dropping fixed

    Not quite sure... yet ;-). I believe the rtsp keep alives identify when loss of signal occurs. I had a few cams freeze (in BI only) and would have never known without the timestamp. I turned it back on to see what I get. In any event, rebooting my server resolves the issue 100% of the time. If...

    Android app crashing

    I have attempted, on 12 android devices, to keep it running all night on my nightstand. I also have tablets mounted at each door entry for monitoring. In every case i have enabled dev options to keep from sleeping while charging. About 98% of the time, the app crashed to the desktop by morning...

    long time issue with cams dropping fixed

    Just wanted to post some information about an 18 month issue I've had which seems resolved. I have 9 Wansview cams, 3 models, the k1, q1 ptz, and outdoor (k3 i think). I know some have do not like them, but they have great quality and reliability for the price. i have them all wireless (again, i...

    Two zone trigger.

    I think i know what you're getting at, but your engrish seems a little broken today! just re-read your response, takes some interpretation ;-)

    Two zone trigger.

    Is there any way to set zones so two zones need to be active to trigger? For example I have a horizontal line at 2ft and 5ft., when someone walks it triggers, but light or shadows on only one zone does not trigger it. It seems if i put AB either zone triggers. If I put "A+B", it behaves like...

    Clip storage monitoring.

    To add, it appears as if it is now overwriting older files when it gets to that 30gb threshold. However, it is writing to a 1tb drive.

    Clip storage monitoring.

    My install of BI was recording to the system drive, which I only had 30gb of the SSD available. The bottom of the console would read, for example, clips: 4,000 files 28gb/30gb. I added a secondary internal drive, routed the DB, log, clips, etc (everything in the C:\Blueiris folder to...
