    Another "Clip" oddity

    Thanks! That was it, don't know how this happened since I didn't even know it was there. What is a "BVR" clip? Thanks, Eric

    Another "Clip" oddity

    Had another "clip" oddity today... I was reviewing clips this evening to see if any triggered the camera while I was away from the house for a couple of hours. Before I left, at 3:04pm BI was triggered by a camera event (car driving down the road, this is correct). Looking at the clips there...

    LAN Remote control software recommendation

    I am looking for recommendations for remote control of the BI machine from another machine on my internal network. I am not worried about Internet access, just tired of running from machine to machine since I don't have Internet access on the BI machine. I was using MS RDP, but on Windows 10...

    Generic type question

    Ok, I think it is most likely the CPU. I modified BI, removing the Trigger/Immediate Action that played the sound and left the Alerts/On Alert action that played the sound. This fixed the double sound when motion was detected. Then I did a bunch of testing (walking around in front of the...

    Generic type question

    Did some additional quick testing and found the following... When I trigger the camera by going front, the CPU goes up to 15% - 30% briefly. I noticed that it seems to also play my sound 2 times for every event and goes off multiple times during the event. I can only describe it as the motion...

    Generic type question

    Attached are screen captures of Hardware Info and BI Camera setting. I was wrong about CPU usage, I used what I remembered seeing the other day, and that was before some BI changes. Right now it is CPU is 6%-9% (with BI Console running - not as service) BI shows RAM at "192.5M". I checked...

    Generic type question

    This happened again last night. Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers (version 10.63.1014.2022, Driver Date 10/14/22) for the NIC (RealTek Semiconductor RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter). I noticed after installing the drivers that the connection is only at...

    Generic type question

    Both the camera and the BI machine are on a switch that is only used by these 2 devices. No dual NIC, just the onboard NIC. "Hardware decode" on the Camera Settings -> Video tab it is set to "No". "Hardware accelerated decode (restart cameras)" on Blue Iris Settings -> Camera is also set to...

    Alerts/Triggers - Best Practices questions

    Thanks, that is a lot to take into account, I will be marking this post for future reference! One thing I noticed the other night was that the IPC-T5442T-ZE picked up motion much further out than BI did, and for notification that is definitely better for me at this time. That led me to think...

    Hard disk configuration settings

    Thanks. I set up the disks exactly like @SouthernYankee outlined in his responses in the 2 threads listed. Is there a recommendation for when to start splitting cameras to different drives? Just based on storage capacity or on disk throughput or something else? Thanks, Eric

    Generic type question

    Ok, just had this happen again last night. Right now I only have the EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE camera running on BI over PoE connection, same switch same subnet. I don't think it has to do with the trigger settings (although I could definitely be wrong) because I get the entire video, it just...

    Camera configuration settings - where to set them

    Thanks. I just didn't know if there was a tool that was better/had better features than the web interface, or if there was a tool that addressed all cameras with a common UI in case the different cameras/different versions of a camera had different web UI. All my cameras will be on their own...

    Camera configuration settings - where to set them

    Is the IP access the only/best way to configure the settings or is there a Dahau tool that is better to use? Thanks, Eric

    Alerts/Triggers - Best Practices questions

    Looking at the Dahau camera settings there seems to be a lot more granularity (for lack of a better word) to the settings than are in BI. And I have seen a couple of posts where someone has said that a lot of folks are using the cameras AI functions rather than DS or CP UI in BI. Also I have...

    Camera configuration settings - where to set them

    Am I correct in what I think I have figured out with camera settings... specifically that I cannot use BI to modify the camera settings, but rather, I have to use the Web Interface or Dahau software to modify them? If I am correct, is the UI that is accessible when accessing the camera via...

    BI Events triggering, but some video missing

    @TonyR I haven't had a chance to read that section yet (the manual is printing as I write this), but I am thinking the problem was with the Amcrest doorbell. Once I disconnected the doorbell, it appears that the 5442T is no longer having the same issues. After you pointed that out, I took...

    Anyone used this Dahua flood light camera? - IPC-WL46A

    I would also be interested as I have a couple of motion lights that I would like to have a camera near. I am looking for Detection and Observation, not Identification.

    Do they make a 2 or even 3 port PCI NIC card? Or is better to go for PCI#1 NIC and PCI#2 NIC?

    Various dual NICs with Intel chips on Amazon, just make sure your system has the correct PCI slot. Amazon.com : intel dual nic

    BI Events triggering, but some video missing

    They should be the defaults, I don't remember changing them - but that doesn't mean I didn't change them :)

    Network IP camera configuration - Make/Model settings for EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE/Dahau IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

    Ok, I'll give that a try and see. I realized that a lot of those messages may have been from when I was testing various things yesterday, so I'll check it later today and see if it is still doing the same thing. Later, Eric

    EmpireTech VT02311R-WP Doorbell

    Does anyone have any experience with the EmpireTech VTO2311R-WP Doorbell camera? I had the Amcrest AD410, but gave up on it due to a few issues. I like the doorbell cameras because of the view it gives of a person coming up to the door, and my wife like it because she doesn't think it is...

    Network IP camera configuration - Make/Model settings for EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE/Dahau IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

    Ok, I'll see if it ever stops. Looking at the log, it seems that yesterday it was firing about every 5 seconds or so for most of the day.

    BI Events triggering, but some video missing

    I keep seeing a similar pattern happening with BI and recorded clips. I think I know what the cause is, but want to get verification or know if it something I have not thought of. In "Live" view I see everything that is happening, but the clips are missing information. I have had this happen...

    Network IP camera configuration - Make/Model settings for EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE/Dahau IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

    Network IP camera configuration - Make/Model settings for EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE/Dahau IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

    I have the EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE which is the same as the Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE. I am wondering what Make and Model I should use since I couldn't find an entry for EmpireTech in the Make dropdown, and when choosing Dahau as the Make, was not one of the models listed in the Model dropdown. I...

    Blue Iris triggers when running as a service

    Thanks. I have this set in the Trigger for each camera. One plays a doorbell sound and the other plays some other obnoxious sound. I will eventually create my on wav files to be played so that I can easily know what sound belongs to which camera. That post makes some sense, but I have the...

    Blue Iris triggers when running as a service

    This may be in the BI manual, but I haven't gotten that far into the manual yet, and it is frustrating me so I thought I would just ask... I have now successfully gotten BI setup and running with 2 cameras. I defined Triggers for Motion on each camera (Camera Settings -> Triggers), set to...

    AD410 Chime Questions

    Thanks for all of the input. After playing around with the camera, I think I am going to replace it with the EmpireTech VTO2311R-WP getting away from wireless and stick with the EmpireTech PoE cameras.
