    Has it been slow here lately?

    Slow lately? Yes, I agree, but I'm sure things will pick up considerably once Ken drops BIv6, whenever that might be.

    ONVIF trigger labels

    Now if we could just add back that wildlife capability to the firmware of the S2 5442 cameras :).

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    ??? "1/8" hole for the cable" ??? Are you sure about that? I've never run across an Ethernet cable smaller than 1/4" diameter, more commonly closer to 5/16" (or a more comfortable pass-through fit is 3/8" hole).

    NVIDIA's $249 Secret Weapon for Edge AI - Jetson Orin Nano Super: Driveway Monitor : Dave's Garage

    Ironically, I just watched this one shortly before you posted it. It briefly veers into camera AI applications, but without full details of image size being passed to the Nano, so processing times aren't very relatable. Also, does anyone know if CPAI has any support for this processor? It...

    Create GIFs from alerts & clips; Send Pushover notifications with GIF attachments

    Yes, I have been testing with .bvr (clip only, with AI .DAT files turned off entirely), and have definitely seen many of the jumpy GIF clips, where at least one frame comes from the beginning of the .bvr clip (which can be up to nearly an hour prior on my system, so quite noticeable). My total...

    Create GIFs from alerts & clips; Send Pushover notifications with GIF attachments

    Hmm, I haven't tested or changed anything yet, but I am fairly certain that my buffer times (om all cameras) are 12 seconds, pre-record time is 8 to 10 seconds, pre-trigger playback is 3 seconds. This might align with the notion that my GIF creation times run about 22-23 seconds (when done from...

    Create GIFs from alerts & clips; Send Pushover notifications with GIF attachments

    Well, I will have a lot to look at and adjust this evening when I get home: the biggest one being adding the -IgnoreDAT setting. But given your rapid development/insights into getting this right, you might just have a new script version to test very soon :). I'll keep you posted in the next day...

    Create GIFs from alerts & clips; Send Pushover notifications with GIF attachments

    Yes, for quite a while I was able to complete up through Step 4: a test send from the Powershell console would work fine, but nothing would work when testing directly in BI until I finally gave in and tried a reboot, then magically it started working. It's unfortunate we still don't have a way...

    Create GIFs from alerts & clips; Send Pushover notifications with GIF attachments

    @jaydeel Well after very successfully running the original (JPEG only) Pushover script for the last 1.5+years (maybe longer), I finally got around to testing this GIF version. It took me a couple of hours to get it working (Reminder: always reboot when testing, even if you think you have...

    Blue Iris OS Options

    Hmm...perhaps the TPM module is disabled or turned off in the BIOS/UEFI settings, it might be worth checking IF you ultimately decide to migrate to Windows 11. As pointed out here though, it probably shouldn't be considered an absolute must, Windows 10 will likely be safe enough, particularly...

    Blue Iris OS Options

    Odd, usually the minimum requirement for Windows 11 is an i5 or i7 8xxx series Intel chip (or similar vintage AMD CPU), these should have the TPM 2.0 chip. Are you sure Windows 11 won't install?

    Distinguishing between motion events and alerts

    Yeah, I'll do anything and everything I can to avoid the use of clone cameras: I find them to be an abhorrent kludge solution at best (at least for me, perhaps there are a handful of places where there is no other way). Edit: To clarify, yeah clones are an easy way to fine tune the alerts, but...

    Distinguishing between motion events and alerts

    Ironically. I finally got around to setting this up yesterday on one of my cameras, based on your original postings of these instructions on Feb.7th this year, shortly after BI 5.8.5 was released. So far, I'd have to call it a qualified/partial success. I have a few IVS rules (Intrusion box and...

    Camera Alert Image Details

    As a test, you might want to experiment with having one zone that essentially covers the entire field of view (or nearly all), with smaller zones acting as the trigger area. BI does track objects moving across zones, and this may be needed to insure that the AI can process the larger field of...

    About models in use

    I ran into this as well, the solution seems to be to explicitly specify the desired models in use in the static detection dialog box. The downside is that (as of 5.9.9.9, haven't tried the just released 5.9.9.10) this static detection box does not "track" with profile changes, it remains the...

    rapidly alternating between day and night profile at sundown? 5442 series

    I am using all older 5442 cameras (pre-newGUI), and do all of my Day/Night profile changes though the BI schedule/PTZ command method that directly alters the camera profile through API commands. To be clear, does the newer S3 (with the new GUI) camera firmware completely block this method? I...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.9.0

    Yikes, thanks for the heads-up, but it seems like a working version (2.9.0) was replaced with a non-working version (2.9.2) after only a day or two. Oh well, I guess we'll all wait for this to settle down.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.9.0

    Ah, yes, .NET 9 is not an option or one of the versions of object detection, my understanding is that it's an underlying requirement to run this new version of CodeProject AI. Most folks seem to get by otherwise with older versions of .NET on their computers, so it's relatively rare for it to...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.9.0

    Did you also manually install .NET 9, or was that automatically installed with the new 2.9.0 CodeProject AI (or orherwise already present on your system)?

    AI Port from Ubiquiti is Here

    Interesting, but unless it can somehow be setup to support multiple camera streams at once, for about $200 it seems like an expensive add-on device for a single camera. A single 5442 camera is comparable in price with those capabilities built-in.

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    See the screenshot above of the Global Settings/AI page...all animals fall under the general category of "Wildlife" and will get the paw symbol in the alerts. What isn't clear yet is what adding this to this Global AI settings page really improved in a more general sense, as well as the fact...

    Camera triggers in BI every minute on the 11 second mark

    If you still have any of the alerts from the period where it was triggering "inexplicably", you could go back and rewatch them in the BI console with all of the testing and tuning overlays turned on (right click when viewing, turn on all motion and trigger overlays). This should confirm if it...

    Camera triggers in BI every minute on the 11 second mark

    Before you go to the trouble of deleting and re-adding the camera, is there any chance that the triggering is coming from BI motion detection reacting to the changing digits on the real-time clock display (directly from the camera feed)? Ask me how I know...yeah, I had to chase this one down too...

    Be Honest

    I've done that too, but be aware that all that does is a (forced) reboot of the Blue Iris computer, not a power cycle of the camera(s), which would probably be more helpful in this case. Sometimes each port can be power cycled through the web interface of the POE switch, or you can just truly...

    5.9.7 - September 5, 2024

    Hmm...I have to file this as tentatively (or potentially) good news. Hopefully we get some clarification on the possible switchover to a "multi-year" purchase option: sounds good, as long as it is truly optional (the way it is now, if we want to continue getting updates), and not a move to a...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Yes, it would be even better if they would consider backporting the animal detection onto the older S2 5442 series of cameras. Oh well, I won't be holding my breath for that to happen though.
