    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Thanks for sharing your setup! I was curious, why record 24x7 on the low res if your taking hi-res jpegs from the HD Main stream and motion recording from the HD Main stream? I currently use the method in the hookup with 24x7 recording from the substream as well as jpegs and then recording the...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Thanks again for everyone's help! (especially @Village Guy !) I'm currently recording 24x7 on my sd streams and triggering record on the 4k stream on alert, but I'd like to try out (at least) recording 24x7 on the 4k stream and flagging events. I broadly understand how to do this but i'd really...

    wonderful! i wonder if it was locked by some other program, maybe you opened in a text editor or something.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I am FAR from an expert, so this might be less than helpful, but seems like a permissions issue? I also know the latest AI Tool doesn't use the Cameras folder any more, so what version of AITool are you using?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    So, obviously, i struggled with this a lot (maybe I still do!) but my current understanding is this: Dual Streams: when setting up your cameras IN Blue Iris, you define a second stream (which is your cameras SD substream you defined IN the Camera's Settings i.e. Amcrest). I believe the attached...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    ahh ok this does make more sense, but both the opening post to this thread and the example post I quoted both had 2 urls. I suspected, or rather hoped, that perhaps there was a third method of enacting BI/AITool, that is to not record 4k 24/7 but simply take jpg's every 4 seconds when motion is...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Sorry to bump everyone, but I was just curious if anyone could help me answer these 3 questions? Or at least the last one about using the "flags" to progmatically wittle down what I long term store?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    So after combing through this thread and the tutorials for a few days now and I think I have the resources/it makes sense for me to simply record on the 4k streams 24x7 (I currently have all my cameras cloned and am recording 24x7 on the low res stream and sending alerts to record the 4k stream)...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    This sounds amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I def am not experiencing near perfect alerts, so I'm eager to try to replicate your setup. Did you follow a particular tutorial? If not, would you be willing to share any tips on how you implemented it? (I'm embarrassed to say I even needed to...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    HAHA YES! thank gawd, that was bothering me so much and finally makes logical sense to me. How do most people on here do it? with the cloned low res streams and recording the hi res? Or just do everything on the HI res if computational/storage capacity isn't really a problem...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Thanks @GreyTheOld ! That tutorial was based on The Hook Up video that I set things up with so I was close, but that tutorial still highlighted a few things that I had either missed or were new (like adding the substream to the HD camera setup, which coincidently ALSO helped me understand my...

    Oh thank you so much, i've been googling like a mad man and coming up empty, Then i tried the Blue Iris Manual in it's hundreds of pages of glory. thank you very much, hopefully this will keep me away til i have a much less banal question.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    haha I feel like such an idiot and that I'm going around in circles. I've set up 2 streams for each Camera in the Camera's (amcrest) interface, and I have 2 different streams loaded into BI for each of these Cameras (the main 4k stream and the SD substream). Did I clone these cameras? I'm...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Ahhhh thank you! Thank you so much for that explanation. I had moved on and thought it was not important to fully understand but now I do and it was honestly bothering me. So i have cloned my cameras with 2 substreams in BI, what does dual stream mean then? just the fact that my cameras can...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I feel like a real goon for asking this but how do I install Chris Dodge's latest version, the one with the Masking feature @Village Guy mentioned? I followed the advice of unzipping and overwriting but it's a completely different file structure from what I installed on the first page.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    AHHHHHHHH! THANK YOU! I was just rereading Post #1. It seems to say that the recommended method is NOW continuous recording with flags being sent, but itmakes so much more sense if it's really just an added feature. I don't really understand how the flag feature works in practice but at least...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    @Village Guy I guess i'll go back to the original question: I am using, I THINK , cloned cameras (Amcrest with 2 streams). I don't really have space limitations, but seems wildly inefficient to continuously record 16 4k cams. What I thought I was doing was taking stills from the SD stream...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    haha i saw that, but nope I'm still confused. I guess I'll just re-read everything. I think i'm further away from what I was trying to figure out. So what exactly changed in AI Tool from 1.65 to 1.67 in regards to the suggested method of implementation?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Ahh fantastic explanation thank you. Kind of like a bookmark in the recording is how I understand this. No connection to what? I was asking what the difference is? is there a difference? In your earlier first response: This question is where my confusion started. Sorry about my slowness...

    @Village Guy maybe defining the difference between Clone and Dual Stream would help me get over this understanding hump.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    OOOO i just assumed full on continuous recording was just simply not feasible. What does AI Tool do in that Point/Method 1? Simply give you a "bookmark" or reference point for where the action is in your, VERY LONG, recording?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Thanks so much for taking the time. I have a pc i bot just for blueiris, it has a 500gb ssd and a 6tb hdd. I also have a pretty massive unraid server I can offload to, so storage isn't the biggest issue in the world. But I have 16 (for now!) 4k cameras, so I probably still need to be...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Again, i'm sorry for not responding to this, I really don't know how I screwed that up, this is VERY helpful! So i must confess I don't fully understand the difference between Clone and Dual Stream. My amcrest cam allow for multiple streams, I (think) i send snapshots from the substream to AI...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Still wondering what kind of issues I should expect using the <1.65 implementation on a 1.67 installation, but in the meantime I was watching some Youtube videos tutorials for general use and I was learning about the zone tool. Seems like I could use the Zone feature to mask my feeds and that...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I followed The Hook Ups Youtube tutorial, and created dual camera streams before realizing that 1.67 recommends using the flag option. What sort of issues should I expect with this mistake? I assume it's still recommended that switch over all my configurations to include the flag method, but am...
