    Pre trigger record time - Won't change

    That would be annoying. I only ever had one reolink, and got rid of it. Never again. I emailed support to see what they say. I guess it's easy enough for me to change the recording mode, fix the time, then change back to continuous..

    Pre trigger record time - Won't change

    That's not a bug, that's a feature. :) I don't think I'm on a beta. But I did manually update to version 5.7.7.3 for a bug fix I found that Tim fixed. (Where external alerts wouldn't fire even when set to always). Not sure how long this has been going on either. It's one of those...

    Pre trigger record time - Won't change

    Not sure when it started but I started noticing all my alert clips had a big delay before I saw what motion happened. I looked at my cameras, and they are all set to 5 seconds of pre trigger record time. Pretty sure I had them all set to 2 seconds. If you edit it, hit okay, and back into...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    IIRC, with the secure option on you cannot pass login credentials via the address bar/http get. I had to turn that off a long time ago for my home automation stuff to be able to control BI. I think it's also the difference between the browser login popup to login vs a "splash screen" type...

    Works properly for me now. Thank you again for all your work on this project!

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I just installed and set this up. It's working, but I can't seem to get the BI logging to inject anything into the logs. Here's how I have it set. I made a new Admin user and put those credentials in the config, and made sure use secure session is off. I can login to ui3 with that...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Just a thought. I don't know if it's possible, or makes things too complex. But can powershell read variables and settings from an .ini file of sorts? If so then users can upgrade the script without editing their settings. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    There is a little delay. In my testing I'm using an external trigger, and just hitting "trigger now" to test it. Most of the delay is in BI. I don't think it runs the alert action until the red border on the alert list clip goes away. Maybe until it's finished running AI.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I've only got a couple entries as I only put this on one cam now to test, and I've been fiddling around with the size and quality. The first couple were your default, then a couple at 90 quality, max 1000, and the last couple max 1500 quality 85...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Gotcha. I'll try that. I'm also reading about creating a self signed script. I just don't like the idea of any powershell script being able to run. I'll post back with my findings. Thanks again though!

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Sweet! I just set it up and got it working. I couldn't get powershell to work with the RemoteSigned execution policy though. I had to set it to bypass to get it to execute. I'm not sure if this is the best/safest way to go though. I don't know enough about powershell, is your script...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Not a phone, on my computer. I didn't buy 4k cameras to stare at pixelated images that look like they came from a reolink. :D That is awesome! Keep me posted, and when you are ready for a tester, I'll try it out!

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Dunno. Those are on 4k cams. I really don't want to change to not saving high quality alert images. I'm sure someone smarter than me could write a batch script or powershell to run the image thru a command line resizer, save it as a temporary, send it via pushover and delete the temporary.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    After years of the ATT mms gateway giving me fits, I'm trying this route. But my problem is I save hi res alert images and I don't want to change that. But some of my cams have alert images close to 4mb in size and over the pushover limit. Has anyone made a script to resize an alert image...

    Occasional blank/black alert jpg - external trigger

    So we figured out the issue. I was emailing Tim from BI back and forth and had an ah-ha moment. I was using a immediate action for my one notification, and sometimes the action actually happens before the alert image exists. The solution was to use an on alert action instead.

    Occasional blank/black alert jpg - external trigger

    Text/MMS. I can find the email in my Gmail outbox and it has the same black/blank image there too, so I don't think it's the MMS gateway doing anything with it. Maybe I'll try to confirm this by adding another alert to email them to my other email address just to see. I did some digging...

    Occasional blank/black alert jpg - external trigger

    I have a couple rules that on alerts I get sent the triggered/current image. 95% of the time it works, but sometimes I just get a blank/black jpg attachment. I'm pretty sure this only happens when a camera is triggered by external, and not the motion sensor. Every recent instance I can...

    Small / Cheap usb powered cameras for garage / shed

    Thanks. I've looked at them in the past but 1080p is what I've already got. The field a view is a bit narrow at 90* too. For comparison the Tapo is supposedly 110*

    Small / Cheap usb powered cameras for garage / shed

    Looking for some cheaper suggestions for inside the shed and garage. I have good wifi coverage out there, so that's not a concern. I'm running a old wyze for now, but looking for a little higher resolution. 2k / 4mp or so. I don't want to go full fledged POE for this. Just something...

    Yeah I did try that, it just made the static quieter.

    Generic camera audio - on and off hissing noise from BI - Works in VLC

    I got a generic Wansview/Galayou G7 cam that I've got working in BI but I can't get the audio working. In BI I get a hissing noise that comes and goes. Doesn't matter to seem what I pick from the dropdown. If I open the RTSP stream in VLC I get audio. If it tells us anything, Codec info in...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I know the rule of don't try to do too much with one camera. :) I temporarily have it mounted just above my garage door about 9ft off the ground. Up close I have a great view of the driveway close to the garage and any cars close to it. Even got some good video of a buck wandering thru my...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I've been looking at 4k cameras lately and that research brought me to this thread for some reason. I've been very happy with my 5mp Amcrest cameras. I remember when 4k cams were first coming out, folks were saying 5mp units were better for night scenes. Guess that's still true somewhat...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    Sorry, I never did try it. Well I tried a few files like you mention, but they just reboot and the cam stays on the old version. I forget what kind of functionality I was trying to get out of them. I ended up ditching the NVR and building a small PC to run Blue Iris on and I'm doing all...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    This is the firmware for my QSee. I Can't actually find a Dahua firmware. https://q-see.s3.amazonaws.com/content/files/firmware/QSee_QCN8099B_V2.460.QS01.0.R.20171121.bin If I add it under the Dahua model, it doesn't work or connect at all. I suspect Qsee tweaked things just enough to...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    I have the 5mp QSee QC888 POE system from Costco last year. The cameras are QSee QCN8099B, which I'm about 99.9% sure is really the Dahua IPC-HFW1531S. Specs and everything are identical. I'm trying to get the cameras to work with my new QNAP Nas. It doesn't support the Qsee cams, but...
