    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The cams IR isn't on. Just one really big IR light on the corner of the house. I'm pretty happy with the image now, obviously miles ahead of where it was.

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    Well I would post this in another thread but since this thread kind of ended up as a support thread I figured I would post it here. After realizing how bad the footage of the coyote was, I made some changes. I moved the external IR further away and adjusted my cam angle a touch just because it's...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The IR for the camera is already off, it's worse with it on. When I set up my IR it was to watch the deer eat all my pears from my pear trees at night, and the cam was zoomed in past the soffit for that. I had an image closer to this then. Those 2 trees behind that power pole are pear trees. I...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    I just changed it to shutter priority and got this. Seems to be really close to the settings you listed above as well. I walked outside and the video was good. I've been meaning to move the infrared to help the glare for a while, I just haven't gotten around to it. I didn't even think about...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    I went back and looked at my camera settings and I have the shutter speed set from 0 - 2. I can drastically brighten the image if I change that, but if I recall the reason for the change, and darkening it up so much, was that I was experiencing very drastic ghosting with motion to the point I...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    The coyotes and I have a long history. I thought they had stopped coming into my yard after they killed my favorite barn cat. Looks like they are getting brave again and will need a reminder to stay away. All my 5442's pretty much suck. I've played with the settings and generally just made...

    Thief caught on camera at my house

    While it's hard to see what the little thief got, it was a chuck it and ball I use playing fetch with my dog. I looked all over for this thing yesterday, so eventually went back to my cameras to track it down and this is what I saw. I guess I'm not good at setting them up, my 5442 cameras...

    Blurry when FFW or RW at more than 2X?

    So I've recently updated my Blue Iris to 5.9.7.4, which fixed my notification issue, however now I'm trying to backtrack on my cameras and see when a coyote attacked it, but if I fast forward or rewind at more than 2x speed, the camera goes blurry until I get back down to 2x or less speed, at...

    New phone, no notifications

    Selecting or deselecting the Legacy GCM box doesn't seem to change anything. Alerts are on in the app, I've tried turning one off and leaving on off as well. I'm going to look deeper into things today when I have time. It hit me that after using the Samsung Smart Switch to transfer phones, zero...

    New phone, no notifications

    I don't get any Blue Iris notifications on 2 different phones, but the old phone was working perfectly. I just got home and tried it now and after re-adding it to my mobile devices it doesn't seem to be getting alerts either now. I've had this working for years and honestly don't remember how it...

    New phone, no notifications

    Yep, notifications are turned on on the phone. Since the text and email alerts work, at least with the test button, I'm assuming the issue lies on the phone app side, but it's 2 different phones. I'm pretty sure everything exactly matched settings with the phone that was working, but I'll check...

    New phone, no notifications

    So my push alerts were working fine on my old phone, then I got a new one and used the Samsung smart switch to transfer everything over. I'm set up using zero tier to access the cameras, which I can do even from the new phone. I'm away from home but connect to my computer using a remote desktop...

    Paper Delivery Hit and Run

    Most sayings that stand the test of time are based on an irrefutable truth that also stands the test of time. In this case, "No good dead"...... I think we all know the rest. That does sound like a nightmare. Situations like this help me to understand why so many people are reluctant to help in...

    Starlink satellite internet

    Same here. I really don't see any other starlink dishes in my area other than my own, yet I'm in a limited capacity area. I can't say I didn't see it coming. I knew going on that there would likely be price increases and usage restrictions over time, but what I didn't expect was those things...

    Dang cats are expensive.

    I can't believe it's going on 3 weeks since I've posted about this. After some growing pains, temporarily adding a T2231T-ZS that's intended for my shop, to a tree with about 300' of cat 6 just running along the ground so I can monitor the coyote heavy area of my property, and another change in...
