After 5 years of searching for a solution, there was one just posted last month that works. Pays to be as obsessive as my old beagle. For those of you who did not throw out your Call Station, the fix is two simple registry entries as noted in this thread. I did have to use Putty to turn on...

Then again, he serves Flagler County Fl. and I am Baltimore. Not interested in paying airfare.

Thank you both. It has to do with false positives (especially object detection across zones) and getting push alerts and vid with texts (Verizon via xfinity). How to most effectievely use camera groups (or not with 6 cams). Two outside, one license plate. Rest are inside. Just wanna be able...

Looks like he is in Florida??? I am in Baltimore. Any others closer? I thought about contacting Ken about installers but I wanted to check here before I bother him.

OK. It is clear to me that this program has gotten beyond my ability/willingness to keep up. I've had the server running 6 cameras for at least 5 years so it is initially installed. Is there a list of trusted installers for me to contact about doing the last 10% (reliable alerts mainly)...

Ok. I figured out (maybe???) the new Alert Trigger Profiles. Multiple Alert/Trigger profiles per camera, press the button in the Trigger/Alert profile to match the Schedule profile it is used for. Then, to test, you must be in the Schedule Profile for the Alert/trigger profile you want to...

OK. I was trying to test an alert while it's active profile button (1-7) ("On Trigger" page) did not match the Profile selected on the drop-down on the Alerts page. In other words, on the " On Trigger" page for each of my 3 Alert Profiles (Home,Sleep, Vacant) I had several Trigger Profiles...

Thanks. I have alert profiles for each camera. I am doing the testing from the "On Trigger" profile pages using the test buttons. The on property sounds work perfectly. It is just not sending out mobile notifications. Huh. Just created a new camera with new alert profile. Email worked...

I have used BI for a number of years with no problems. I upgraded to BI 5.0 and I feel like a newbie. Before I do a clean install, can anyone figure out what I am missing? Can access from BI from phone no problem Firewall allows BI.exe and BI service email server set to mail1@gmail.com w/...

Thanks. Was going to try 192.168.x.xxx/Blue Iris and saw it somehow resolved. Maybe it took a reboot to reset the accounts info. But it does work using the drop down value /Diskstation/Blue Iris/New Clips. For clarification, I never did use a mapped drive. But it works and i am no longer...

Ok. If I run BI 5.0 as a program, I can access my NAS normally for clip storage. If I run it as a service, I get an over allocation notice and no recording even though I set the storage locations from the drop down. Created a local account on the DVR which has identical credentials to the NAS...

thank you. I was up late last night playing.

I installed from 4.0 yesterday and I read the PDF. A lot more powerful choices. Long way in 5 years. I get the alert actions are tagged to profiles. Are the camera zones also tagged to the individual profiles? For example, I have profiles for occupied, sleep and vacant. I understand I have...

Has anyone found a way to set a trigger such that if camera 1 triggers, and within 15 seconds camera 2 triggers, then an alert would be sent? Regards, Dewey

Just in case others want UI3 to remain open: Edited the java script to set the default UI3 timeout to zero. Just have to save a copy to replace the versions that get included with updates. Maybe I am the only one, but it seems to me this should be the default setting. Regards, Dewey
