    Have a new project in mind where I would like to capture either and or photos and video and be able to add sensor data into the video beyond the camera name - data - time. Does anyone have an idea if there is a platform that will do this. I am a current Blue Iris licensed customer and will be...

    Camera Detection to Trigger Smart Light Switches?

    HomeAssistant and OpenHAB are also full featured home automation platforms you might want to consider. I think BlueIris offers the data from the cameras ONVIF data via MQTT and Rest calls so it can be connected as a host and maybe more. HA is particularly easy to add ONVIF cameras to. It will...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Dahua had a page on how to view the camera feed from VLC and there was references in this thread. Basically I think I Googled. VLC is a handy quick way to test though

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    So - I removed the BI install, deleted the BI directory and restarted Win. Downloaded a new install file and added the cameras from scratch and it looks like it is all working now. If anyone else is using Dahua this works for me.

    How does support work

    Thanks for the explanation. I went back through the install process and found the details that explain this there as well. Appreciate the explanation. Also - reinstalling and recreating all the cameras from scratch resolved the issue that I was having. I'll mark the other thread as well...

    How does support work

    Fenderman - I'll take the comments and questions as they came back here for clarity -Why do you think your issue with events is related to the substream feature? When I try to enable the Substream there are no alerts recorded in Blue Iris. When I remove the configuration for the substream...

    How does support work

    I've had the BI substream version installed for some time now and yet to have the events from the Dahua cameras trigger an alert in BI. I've written to support twice over several weeks including the header showing the support info asking if this is expected to be fixed or if this version of BI...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Thanks for the ideas and tips. I prefer the alerts in the cameras to those in BI because I have already used the camera alerts for home automation functions. I’ll keep asking about it from time to time and hopefully the developer will have a look.

    I should have added that if I leave the sub stream config off the alters are created.... But then why LOL

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    I've tried the latest versions of BI with the substream and still no alerts are store when the camera triggers. Has anyone found a way to make this work for Dahua? or

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I found the issue. I had created another problem by creating a VM on the Windows machine to do some things and keep them separate from BI (and everything else). In doing that I broke the network connection setting up the virtual switch. Thanks for the help. I was at a standstill and...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I have the Windows time server running And changed the cameras to point to the address of the ethernet card in BI machine. I don't see the time change reflected on the cameras. There are no errors in the Dahua log but.. there were no errors there when the cam was pointed at the time...

    So your NTP sync feature in the cameras doesn't Work?..... I thought NTP was a Government web server. I can definitely investigate this. Thanks! So your NTP sync feature in the cameras doesn't Work?.....

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Has anyone enhanced the script to set the camera clock? Having the cameras on a subnet that is not connected to the internet seemed like a good idea but the NTP sync in my cameras has some serious time drift that negatively impacts the ability to watch across a couple cameras. Not huge but if...

    Version BI 5.2.9.16 - I've enabled substream feeds for all cameras and enjoying the lower CPU utilization but I am no longer recieving the notifications / alerts triggered from within the Dahua Starlights. Anyone else having this issue or is there maybe something I missed wetting them up...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    I can use the full bandwidth for what I am doing but it would be cool to use the low bandwidth feed for remote. It really doesn't matter on the phone or even the tablet screen but I am curious if new development done per a plan or do requests factor in to the prioritization?

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Has anyone found the url for a stream from BI for the sub stream from the camera? My cameras are on a different network than the home automation panels that I would like to display a feed from. Basically I want this for the substream /mjpg/{cam-short-name}/video.mjpg. Thanks!

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    Are there any guides or tips for setting up the substreams? I found the note to use like config for the substream other than the resolution. I've always struggled with finding release notes or anything beyond that which is linked to with the question mark on the primary screen. Thanks again

    I have a home automation project that I am planning to incorporate notifications and a feed from Blue Iris. I am planning to take the feed from Blue Iris as that machine is a natural bridge from the network the cameras are on to the network everything else is on. I'm anxious to start this...

    Options for 4k, 25/30fps, 2 way audio, POE, cheap dome

    Alitech, You've gotten some good guidance in regards to asking for advice on cameras in terms of what you want to do I think you will get better input with a different question. If you ask what other people are doing and then describing the results you hope to get instead of technical...

    External Control of Profile based on Weather

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to do this with OpenHAB via HTTP and MQTT. Giving HomeAssistant a go now but haven't advanced to the MQTT controls and expect to avoid them based on testing MQTT with BI. I have found thought that changing the on camera detection from motion to line crossing...

    How to effectively use 5.2.7.9

    Post it up if you think of it. I would be curious but I think I had a hand in my issues. The previous MS update was downloaded waiting a reboot when I installed Discord and then rebooted. Discord got installed, didn't work and would not uninstall. I picked it out based on some guides and...

    How to effectively use 5.2.7.9

    I guess I didn't take the time to really understand the problem and was looking at it all wrong. It wasn't a BI problem it was a Win problem (some damaged files) and a setting in task manager that needed to be changed. I guess sometimes we all make mistakes.
