    Alexa Integration - Blue Iris 4

    I have Voice Monkey/Alexa working well within HomeSeer automation. Wanting to leverage BI to speak to Alexa, I tried using a camera trigger's On Alert with a Web Request, and pasted in the Voice Monkey's API address, and it works, too.

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    I use Visual Basic in my application. Please don't try to use this code directly into the Downloader application, as it uses a different language. This is how I derive the true local times for the database: These variables are set for a wide scope for the whole form: Dim STRepoch_time_end As...

    Is there a way to create dynamic overlay text based on a text file or similar?

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

    MQTT remote control of UI3 instances

    Granted I am pretty weak on this MQTT stuff, but I'm trying to understand how a home automation event would make a specific instance of UI3 behave? Does the command affect any and all views of UI3 which might be in service at the same time?

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    I've been having problems with my Dahua cameras keeping proper time, even with the NTP server configured. California still uses DST. I discovered that I need to mark my time zone as UTC - 8:00 (even when the current time zone is UTC - 07:00) and then check mark the DST option, setting also the...

    Tell us about your home automation!

    Hi Larebear. Can yolink integrate with BlueIris, such as when a sensor has an event then BlueIris receives a trigger command to a camera, whose alert then sends out an email with a snapshot? Also same idea - can an event send out a PushOver notification?

    Can you connect the IP camera directly to a PoE port on a router switch, and try to direct your browser to the camera's IP? Wondering if the balun and NVR is the issue.

    One camera missing from Blue Iris dashboard

    On the topic of new things in BI, where is there a discussion on the new feature of PTZ presets and trigger zones? I believe I had read that a recent update allows a PTZ camera to have multiple zones and triggers based on presets?

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Although I always stay on the latest critical or highly stable update, I see where the 5.5.6.9 includes a feature I could use: "Cancel alerts for specific PTZ presets".

    LPR Camera location conundrum

    One incentive for a neighbor assisting would be to allow them limited user access to Blue Iris so that they can view the camera they had allowed on their property.

    LPR Camera location conundrum

    Check out the Ubiquiti LAN radios. All the neighbor would have to provide is local power to the LAN radio and the IP camera. The data would then be sent wirelessly across the street to your LAN radio, and into your home network and Blue Iris. Here's a link: airMAX NanoStationM 5 GHz Station

    LPR Camera location conundrum

    With the angle in the street and how it curves around your home, can't you just sell the home and buy one across the street, which would afford you better viewing angles in both directions? LPR is more than a hobby, it's a lifestyle! ;-)

    LPR Camera location conundrum

    One suggestion would be to place a camera within the bush. You can paint the housing black and mount it on a 4' tall vertical black 2 inch drain pipe, and it won't be so apparent. The Z12 with an optical zoom would then be able to view plates in that direction.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    I currently have a 940 illuminator supplementing the camera's IR, which I like for it being invisible, but if the plates all change to where 730 is required then I'll go that route in spite of any distracting orange glow, darn it! ;-)

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Where do you see an Axton 730nm illuminator? I see the 850s and 940s on their website. Update: I like this zoom illuminator, as my plates are 200 feet away, and the IR has to cross a neighbor's front yard. This model can zoom to 20 degree x 10 degree: Zoom 15Z, Flexible Range IR Illuminator...

    Looking briefly at the licensesearch.org website, what I do notice is that on the account signup page, one must first check the box that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions, but when you click on the link for the terms and conditions, one first needs an account in order to then...

    So in your case, make the Model a 0, then the Make a 0, then the Color a 0, then the Year a 0, then the Edit button a 0, and lastly, the VIN a 0. This will make the VIN a 0, the Edit Button a 1, the Year a 2, the Color a 3, the Make a 4, the Model a 5.

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Hi Nyght. Changing the tab order is really easy to do. You would look at the form within the Visual Studio designer. Click on to highlight a control, such as the VIN textbox. Look in the Properties window for the "TabIndex" property, and make it "0" or zero. Then click onto the Year textbox, and...
