https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085R7J5V4?th=1 is one example smart lock that supports WIFI. It already supports Alexa and Google Assistant, so I'm hoping it can be made to work with BI.

Hello, apologies if this has already been answered, but I did a quick search and didn't find an answer. This group helped me configure Blue Iris for my uses - so thank you. We are now through the winter and I need to expand on its functionality to deal with more activity around the farm yard...

I appreciate this help, this form is great. But, well, only the Amcrest camera lets my set the key frame rate. The other (Lorex) cameras don't have that option (discussed), and they don't the option for the smart codec. The other cameras also had people repeatedly appearing and disappearing...

Thanks - that's tweaked, but how does it help with this problem? I have a few examples where there's a disconnect between what's listed in the "Alerts" bar and what's played back. Right now, if I double-click a video that is reportedly 18 seconds, it chooses to play a different video - with a...

I can set the iframe interval on the Amcrest camera - but that was only available after turning off the smart CODEC option. I do not have a way to set the iframe interval on the Lorex cameras. I can choose between H.264/264H/264B/265 and "super H.265/H.264", resolution, FPS, bit rate type (CBR...

Thanks, and I am. Turning off the "combine or cut video" setting for the camera helps. I also started with a completely new directory to try to deal with any old issues. And changing to "simple" - evaluating that now, thanks. But: I have lots of examples where pre-trigger video buffer...

Hi, I am installing Blue Iris for the farmyard. Things are going well other than for motion detection - despite setting the size of the object and the contrast, I'm finding it difficult to get it where I'm happy: Often a vehicle is already past the the camera when the camera starts to record...

Hello, I have some buildings that I'd like to install a camera in, but there's no wiring in. And the ground is now frozen and covered with white stuff so we're not dealing with wiring anytime soon! I've got an Ayrstone Hub 2x2c AyrMesh Hub2x2C - Ayrstone Productivity across the farmyard and...

Well, thanks again! Lots of great info - and I'm learning, which has to happen. I'll have to spend some time soon going over each of the cameras you listed. I'll try what's coming and plan to add to the system I'm starting to build.

Thanks - now that's interesting technology! I'm going to read up on this, and also see if there may be a wifi receiver that may work with the existing wifi across the yard.

Hi, I bought a few different models to experiment, learn. https://www.lorex.ca/products/4k-ultra-hd-ip-dome-security-camera-with-listen-in-audio https://www.lorex.ca/products/4k-ultra-hd-smart-deterrence-ip-dome-security-camera-with-smart-motion-detection-plus-1...

Hi, looking forward to learning from what you guys are posting here, figured I should join. Just bought BI from the store, waiting for the key. ;) I had ordered up some Reolink cameras based on a recommendation from a local who is in the security business. Postal service messed up the order...
