    Simple BI Questions. Probably obvious answer and just overthinking.

    It sounds like you are intending WiFi cameras. Don’t! You want wired IP cameras. And, if you have a suitable PC, you don’t even need a Blue Iris license to try it out.

    F250 Hits my poles

    Lol. Still no excuse. My Superduty predates back up cameras, but has these primitive devices called “mirrors,” that, if used, would show the imminent collision.:)

    BI and UI3 Remote Access - The Video Stream Was Lost

    Is your BI set to update automatically?

    How to disable Motion Detect feature for a specific time span

    Yes. Read the help file in BI. You would do this using profiles and schedules.

    How to properly use Testing & Tuning with the Analyze with AI option

    I think there is a way, but it may not be as precise as you’d like. I have a camera that I wanted to confirm on rabbits (among other animals) that didn’t “see” the rabbit in the clip and so didn’t confirm. I simply played back the sub stream clip (because I record continuously both streams)...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @jaydeel- there is a ui3 parameter “timeline” which appears to be usable to open UI3 to a specific time on the timeline. I have not experimented with it though. @bp2008 - I was thinking it’d be great to have a parameter similar to ”timeline” like “relativetime” that opens Ui3 to a time relative...

    Deepstack and Codeproject AI Woes

    I am successfully running BI 5.7.6.8 with CPAI (using CPU) on a Dell OptiPlex 5050 i7 6700 with no issues. I did nothing special: did a clean install of Windows 10 pro using the media creation tool, then installed blue Iris and CPAI. I then pointed BI to my BI config file from my old machine...

    What display do you use ?

    I don’t see a need for live, 24/7 display, but- whenever I want to see what’s going on, I have a shortcut on my iPad that takes me directly into ui3 of all cameras maximized. I think it takes about 3 seconds for that live display to come up.

    Drives Overallocated and CP.AI Slow

    I can’t help but think that using StableBit DrivePool might be contributing to your overallocation problem. Is BI running on a machine that acts as a server for other systems? I’ve never had any such issues in over 2 years now, but I’m just running a simple PC with a SSD for the database and...

    Deep Stack is not helping.

    @GaryK4, What does your Alerts config tab look like?

    Deep Stack is not helping.

    Also, you can read through this thread to see if it helps you any: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/deepstack-confirming-alerts-despite-zone-exclusions.65358/

    Deep Stack is not helping.

    You can view DeepStack analysis details by doing a Ctrl-Double Click on the alert image. (Which you don’t have.). As wittaj suggested, we can best help if you post images of your trigger, motion detection, etc. configuration screens. Do you have any cancelled alerts?

    Deep Stack is not helping.

    Also, terminology is important. Triggers are caused by motion detection. Alerts , if DS is functioning for you, should only occur after confirmation. If you don’t have cancelled alerts, DS isn’t analyzing your motion trigger images.

    Deep Stack is not helping.

    It might help if you provide more information about what’s happening. Do you even know if images are being sent to DS?

    Have you switched from DeepStack to CodeProject.AI? Poll

    I just switched to CP this week. Was reluctant to make the change because of difficulties reported here by others, and because DeepStack was satisfying my needs. I was only using DS on a couple of cameras at different times, but was pleased with how it was working. But DS processing times were...

    Lightning strikes

    So far, I’ve been lucky in that respect. My cameras are distributed among 4 different switches, so, hopefully, when that day comes, I’ll only lose one or two. My system went down 2 weeks ago due to lightning, but the only casualty after I reset a tripped GFI breaker was a TP Link power line...

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    My apologies, @doughboy. I haven’t checked in here in a couple of weeks, and just saw your post now. Here’s two things I hope will help you: To view the still that DeepStack is analyzing, do a Ctrl- double click on the alert image on the BI console. On the motion detection dialog, I have “do...

    Deep Fake

    Remember how they built a White House look-alike studio for Brandon to use in his early addresses? Now we know why. Can’t have an actor laying down the base track for a deep fake address in the actual Oval Office.

    Why use deepstack?

    With 8 cameras, I am using DS on only 2. One uses it only during daytime because of shadows on a reflective driveway (which is probably 70% of the field of view), and on a separate camera only at night due to that one being particularly attractive to spiders and their webs.

    Help

    A router is used to connect different networks. Without internet, you don’t need a router or a modem. Just assign IP addresses manually on the cameras and the PC and you have your network.

    First Time Cam/Security Install Planning

    One of the great things about Blue Iris is that you can be that “someone” or “neighbor kid.” Position a camera, then, with BI set up to record it, walk around like an intruder. You can then sit at the console and experiment with different motion detection settings on that clip. Or, if you use a...

    First Time Cam/Security Install Planning

    I got started with a 2nd gen i7 and a $60 Amcrest camera. I’m now running 8 cameras on that same machine, using Deepstack on 1 during the day and 2 at night. You can only learn so much by understanding “theory.” Get a box, POE switch, and a camera and start playing around with it. The only money...

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    That‘s why I think it’s important to specify you only want alerts if you specify (check) that zone on the alerts tab. In the evening, when Blue Iris is being continually triggered by passing cars, I see the object rectangles from every passing car, but I don‘t get alerts because the motion is...

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    I think I starting using it because I wanted to turn on motion (object?) rectangles to help me understand where the triggers were coming from, and it seemed logical that I’d need object detection for object rectangles. Guess I should re-read those portions of the BI help file again, lol.

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    Yeah, I gotta admit I‘m a bit confused too. I spent a bunch of time getting this to work, but now it does. The zones that are still checked that Ikm not using are only that way because they were defaults that I did not change. BTW, at night I use a Zone B that is smaller than Zone A because of...

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    Just to add some clarifications that may not be obvious: That's our house at the top left. Our driveway enters from the highway, then tees to either the attached garage at the house or towards the building where the camera is. If you look closely at Zone A, you'll note that it excludes parts...

    Deepstack confirming alerts despite zone exclusions

    I‘m just seeing this now. Not sure how I missed your request. But I think your first mistake is considering me to be an expert worthy to be included in the group of sebastiantombs and wittaj. :) Give me a hour or so to finish my coffee and go feed the chickens, and then I‘ll head into my server...

    Substreams and Murphy's law?

    Using sub streams doesn’t mean recording only sub streams. I record continuous to always record the main stream, but using the sub streams provides a way to minimize CPUusage and allows me to test/tune motion detection using sub streams. I see it as win/win.

    Refurb tower with space for a 4-bay drive cage?

    I have a UPS for my BI PC because most of our outages are “blips” that last only a few seconds. My remote cams and switches come back very quickly, much quicker than the PC needing to reboot. On top of that, I was once told by an equipment manufacturer’s rep that a UPS serves as an excellent...
