    Yeah, I have been seeing and counting on the "official" $59.99 price (on the main Google Coral website) for the last several weeks, but then realized that that green "Buy" button isn't a direct purchase button: it then shows several companies to buy from, but essentially all of them are either...

    BI crashing when webserver is viewed

    Not sure if this applies, it could be related to the fix that was just implemented yesterday (last two sentences in this post): https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/5-6-5-november-18-2022.66859/post-719487

    No Signal issue

    Exactly what version of BI5 are you on? I ask because I also suffered with this issue for a period of time corresponding to the releases from roughly mid-September through late October. I chased it many ways on both the hardware and cabling side as well as looking for a software explanation, but...

    Windows 11 Remote Desktop Issues

    At that point, after re-installing Windows 10, why on earth would you bother putting Windows 11 on it? Virtually every person who has tried to run BI on a Windows 11 machine has had one sort or problem or other (yourself included). Leave it on 10, there is nothing all that compelling about Win11...

    BlueIris Help file (BlueIris.pdf), difference thread?

    I should have known that one of our esteemed IPCamTalk script masters would have automated this process: Thank you. I'm so glad that I'm not the only person to have pondered this somewhat roundabout way of compiling changes. Have you brought this up before? I'm still trying to figure out...

    BlueIris Help file (BlueIris.pdf), difference thread?

    My point was that the info is often added to the help file (and quickly, I might add): but unless we, as users, are regularly re-reading the help file with virtually every point release (which I know isn't going to happen), the new features/tweaks/fixes will be undiscovered for long periods of...

    BlueIris Help file (BlueIris.pdf), difference thread?

    Thanks, but I am already aware of those options. It's fairly easy to find information on what are considered big changes, it's the smaller ones (that can be surprisingly useful) that are less well documented. For example, I recently wrote to Ken suggesting an additional tweak to the Alert...

    BlueIris Help file (BlueIris.pdf), difference thread?

    About a year ago, when I was first studying this site, I believe I ran across a thread that covered the specific changes or differences in the BI help file across every release. I've been searching for it today and can't seem to find it again. Am I just imagining that a thread like this existed...

    24 port switch, unmanaged for cameras only 300w / who has the best? budget 300.00

    Just wanted to add: this is not an exaggeration at all, and if you are using enough electricity to be bumped into "Tier 2" rates (most people do, for at least some of their usage), it could be up to $240 per year, just having this switch plugged in (not counting cameras). I don't mind paying...

    Blue Iris AI Status window always empty

    The lower left corner shows the current running number of AI analyses that have happened since restarting BI last, as well as average processing time. Otherwise, in order to get a "filled-in" page here, you need to Ctrl.-click on an Alert, this will open the page with the full stats on that...

    24 port switch, unmanaged for cameras only 300w / who has the best? budget 300.00

    I agree, my switch is the smallest HP 2530, (8) 10/100 Ports, (2) Gb uplink ports, internal power supply version, and no fan. It only draws 5.3W at idle. Perfect for my needs at the moment, but if I need something larger, I'd get a newer Netgear GS316EPP.

    24 port switch, unmanaged for cameras only 300w / who has the best? budget 300.00

    I would also argue that a large part of the appeal of something like some of the newer "prosumer" Netgear switches is also the far lower standby power use and zero noise. Most of the big used enterprise switches tend to have very loud fans, as well as "idle" (before plugging any devices in)...

    24 port switch, unmanaged for cameras only 300w / who has the best? budget 300.00

    Hey, I was just noting what that listing specifically pointed out, I didn't expect a full rack sized enterprise switch to use a wall wart/power brick.

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    Yeah, I have to agree that a one minute timout is essentially useless. That is simply not enough time to enter all the parameters in most (if not all) cases. It was good while it lasted, but it's hard to see this as a welcome development. The increase in visits is likely due to a bump in the...

    Cabling: Tools rough draft #1. Opinions/Suggestions desired.

    Small error correction suggestion: Er, that would be at least a 1/4" hole (or really 5/16" to make it easily) for any Cat6 cable, not 1/8". Even with an end on it, it generally needs more than a 1/2" hole, 9/16" minimum. Minor quibbles, otherwise awesome work putting this together, really well...

    Opinions on female-female RJ45 connectors

    True, but by definition a "patch cable" is always supposed to be stranded cable, whereas permanent links should use solid cable. The article starts by saying "situation when you have two short Ethernet patch cables and need to make a single longer one".

    Opinions on female-female RJ45 connectors

    It seems that the real answer is "it depends": it is best practice to avoid these inline couplers if at all possible, but you can probably get away with one (or at most two), with enough added precautions thrown in as well (dielectric grease, shrink tube, etc...). This blog article article on...

    Is Pushover down?

    I'm not too worked up over this (especially considering the extremely low, one-time cost of the service), and in a sense, it's true that the system didn't completely go down: alerts still came across, but were missing the handy photo. Oh well, s#@& happens.

    Is Pushover down?

    Safe to say that it's common to have the occasional missing photo, but this was a long series of those (6 or so hours, about a dozen or more alerts in my case). Good news is that it appears to be back up as of a few minutes ago.

    Is Pushover down?

    Yes, same problem here, no images came through with alerts overnight. Fingers crossed it comes back up on it's own quickly, but I haven't had time to investigate further.

    Not sure if this will bring anything useful to most BI users, but CPAI just updated to 1.6.8 today. Release notes: Patch 1.6.8: image handling improvements on Linux, multi-thread ONNX on .NET

    I generally leave the "Detect/ignore static objects" box checked with no ill effects. Also, you can shut down all CPAI modules except YOLO for your situation, might save some resources.

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    Glass will last the longest in this UV exposure environment, followed by acrylic (but you gain a fair amount of break resistance by moving to acrylic), then the most vulnerable to UV (without any special coatings to extend that lifespan) is polycarbonate. The polycarbonate will be by far the...

    Neither CodeProjectAI or DeepStack reach out to the internet for their analysis, it is all locally processed on your own system.

    Cant get IVS to trigger.

    I have always set my IVS lines somewhat inside the viewing borders, based on the previous recommendations of more experienced members here. The belief here is that the camera needs to "see" and start tracking a moving object before tripping a line (IVS) rule. Works for me....

    My suggestions: uncheck the Default object detection box (it definitely doesn't need that checked). Also, unless you are also simultaneously experimenting with the facial recognition feature (very much a work in progress), uncheck both of those boxes as well. The path for custom models that you...

    I do get cats at night (pretty often in fact) with ipcam-dark, but now that you mention it, I don’t see any AI detection during the day with ipcam-combined.
