    5.8.8 - March 4, 2024

    Hmm...I'm surprised that is still working: from the sounds of that 5.8.7.8 write-up it shouldn't actually add any additional analysis by doing so. Strange that you can still "force" the added images. Perhaps what happens in your case is that the "best" image occurs towards the end of a long...

    5.8.8 - March 4, 2024

    Can't answer the "why" part, but this change occured with 5.8.7.8, see below: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/5-8-7-8.74829/

    reject the evidence of your eyes

    Different altitudes = Different atmospheric conditions (temperature, winds and humidity) = Different contrail length and dissipation rate

    Replacing Water Heater Tank in Attic

    Very creative installation...at least it's not a natural gas water heater.:eek::lol:

    Anyone have a theory on why this cam triggered?

    I've seen these Dahua IVS triggers happen plenty of times with "nearby" objects that don't enter or cross trip lines or Intrusion boxes (usually with moving vehicles, not people): at this point I consider it par for the course. It means that you just need to adjust and move your lines back just...

    Cameras momentarily disconnect -- with a cadence

    I agree, it could be the new audio watchdog settings, but you might also try enabling the "Decoder compatability mode" checkbox. See this thread, where that setting resolved a similar issue: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ipc-color4k-t180-intermittent-no-signal-in-bi.72212/

    Cuban Classic Cars

    I'll grant you that, although I would add that each of the years from '66 through '69 had many quite notable changes; some structural/functional, some more visually noticeable, but all significant. Super Beetles are a whole 'nuther subject entirely, but I'll stop before we lose the rest of our...

    Cuban Classic Cars

    You are correct on almost all of those points, except for the transition year from swing-axle to I.R.S. (C.V.-joint) real axles (1968 was the last year for swing-axles, 1969 had the C.V. joints), and wide-five pattern wheels (1967 still had them, 1968 had the narrow 4-bolt pattern). Not that...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    Fortunately, we get somewhat more detailed update notes from @fenderman when most full "point" (second to last octet or higher) releases come out. Often with a day or two delay, but thankfully they are more complete than the extremely brief release notes on the "update screen".

    OpenVPN Asus RT-AX86U does not work

    Don't worry too much about the preferred and alternate DNS settings, they aren't particularly relevant to this VPN problem. If in doubt, use Quad9 (9.9.9.9), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and /or Google (8.8.8.8), your choice of preference order. If you say that you can definitely access the web...

    Three Year Old Dahua Acting Up

    Sounds more like a cable termination/corrosion issue if I were to venture a guess. Bummer about it being so difficult to get to, but that may be the key to solving this.

    Oh Baby, Baby, where did my alerts go?

    Have you recently moved to 5.8.4.x? I had to revert to 5.8.3.3, as all my clone cameras stopped working (they seem to show an active stream, but yellow triangle and have no alerts coming from the clones (main cameras use ONVIF, the clones use B.I. motion detection and CPAI). All back to normal...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Yes, the complexity is slightly daunting, as well as (a perhaps unjustified) fear of delayed notifications, but I am curious enough to hopefully try this out sometime soon, perhaps after you release the upgraded V2 script set. Will that simplify the setup steps, or just expand the...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 - IR reflection during rain at night?

    Interesting...sort of a hybrid bullet/turret look going on there. Please tell me you will clip off the long "tail" of the zip-tie after testing, right?

    Are cloned cameras linked?

    OK, thanks to all that replied. I now have it working (more or less) how it is "expected" to be with hidden clones, which is not really how I would prefer, but close enough I suppose. Having to use the filtering for "Selected camera only" just to see ALL of the alerts for that camera (and...
