    repair/regenerate database

    In my case, the problem happened after an update to BI, and repairing the DB didn't help until I updated BI again the next day to the newest critical update (5.6.6.1), deleted the DB folder, and then repaired the DB again.

    repair/regenerate database

    In my case, the clip storage is showing way over-allocation on the drives. I tried to repair the database to no avail. Update: I see that the All Clips history is generating, now at 2% for Aux4. Update: All the clips and alerts are back in place, and the clip storage is back to normal; after...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Wondering if there's a way to get a latitude/longitude overlay? There's some real time GPS location sharing mobile apps which have POST methods to any base URL and end point and at any interval. Someone in the LPR forum was asking how to store location data when collecting parked plates from a...

    How to record location data on mobile LPR?

    I see this Google Play app: "Realtime Location API" although I am unsure how it would work with BlueIris . . . it purports to post location data to a server of your choice and at quick intervals . . . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalrevolution.gpstransmitter

    How to record location data on mobile LPR?

    A better idea, although I am unfamiliar with the process, but there's a feature within BlueIris to embed data such as the humidity, temperature, etc., from some external WAN weather source, onto the captured images. The need would be to find a way to get the lat/long coordinates from either the...

    How to record location data on mobile LPR?

    Another idea is to have a second wide angle camera to record the terrain as you drive around. There will be timestamps on the wider spotter camera's stream which you could correlate to the LPR capture's embedded timestamp. It would at least allow you to investigate locations afterwards, although...

    How to record location data on mobile LPR?

    Since you indicate the LPR is mobile, it makes me think you are wanting to drive around and record a lot of plates along a street, and somehow tag each collected plate with its location, all automatically and quickly. The police can do this sort of data collection from their cruisers. Your...

    How to record location data on mobile LPR?

    Not clear how often you need to acquire GPS data, but in Google Maps on your mobile device, you can long-press on a map location, and then click on the "Share" icon, and then select the "Copy to Clipboard" option. Then paste it into an email you are composing or a OneNote, etc. It will only give...

    Any good solutions for push notifications outside of BI android app?

    Another neat feature of PushOver is the use of specific notification sounds set within the API.

    Any good solutions for push notifications outside of BI android app?

    Have your home automation trigger BI. Use the BI's On Alert function to send an email to your upcoming PushOver.net account. It can use email to send out a text message. I also use the same On Alert function to email me an image of the gate opening. No need for UI3.

    U.S. Bans Chinese Telecom Equipment and Surveillance Cameras Over National Security Risk

    On the WSJ, an article in part states: "The rule change affects 10 companies already subject to other restrictions and prohibits them from marketing or importing new products. . . . The FCC made its order public Friday. The latest order stops short of requiring U.S. equipment buyers to remove...

    Google translation from Dutch: Have an IPC-HDW1531S that won't switch from one day to the next from night mode (black/white) to day mode (color) when I reconnect it then it boots back into day mode (color) when it gets dark it turns on night mode (black and white) but the next day it stays in...

    Upgraded BlueIris and no longer recording

    There are a couple of threads related to the need to repair the database after a recent upgrade. No need to delete the database.

    focus and zoom

    Keeping the Z12 at B&W all the time will result in no need for the sunrise-sunset utility, though?

    Dahua ipcam for recording sound

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    For the CSV downloads, it is easy to miss. Log into your ALPR Dashboard. Look under the 'Plates this week' column, and click on the 'View details' link. Then on the next page, the download link will appear on the bottom-left.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Eagerly awaiting test results, especially for general LPR captures at ~190 feet. My Z12's red eyeballs stand out a bit at night, and having a low intensity white light would be great.

    Camera Group View Options

    Is there a way to have different camera groups' view to have unique view settings? I would like one group to have the "Solo Selected Camera" always checked, and another group to always have it unchecked. As it is, if I change that option it affects all groups. Not a big deal, but it would be...

    DeepStack LPR Custom Model

    Mike, can you provide a quick summary of how DeepStack improves plate recognition, as opposed to only using Plate Recognizer or ALPR? Does the DeepStack mark the plates in the BI log as Plate Recognizer does?

    Is it possible to send snapshot via email on a schedule?

    Thanks, BKG! If the need is to trigger an event once a month then if BI closes and reopens or gets an update then the setting would start a countdown from 0 minutes, I am wondering?

    BI, VPN and Unifi USG

    Hi Nick, I noticed that my Android (via T-Mobile) had started to warn me a while ago that the VPN connection I use from UniFi is not secure. It is an annoying message, but in my case I can still connect okay.

    FYI: for those with home sprinklers, Costco has Rachio3 12 zone on sale for $149

    I bought the 8 zone Rachio last year, and it works quite well, even though I am using only 5 zones. I even have it integrated into HomeSeer, but for what purpose? Because it's there!
