    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    Need to do some minor stucco repair, but this should work.

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    That’s awesome. Really appreciate yall taking time to help me out. Got really really lucky with my doorbell. Turns out they used cat5 and just cut the extra wires. Was able to put a female rj45 jack in the wall. Then put a mail jack in the attic and used a shielded connector to run it to a new...

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    Overall I'm running 14 cameras, 3 were facing the driveway to capture various angles. With the reduced FOV, I just won't have as much overlap as I used to have, however I should be pretty good overall. Now it's onto project scope creep. We've had a ring doorbell forever, and since I'm up in...

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    I appreciate that. After reading your link I'll likely go with the T54IR and do proper junction boxes this time (previously they were just anchored to the stucco wall). I'll end up painting them to somewhat match the color of the house. While I'm the paranoid guy on my street, I don't...

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    Circa 2018 (I think?) I installed a Revo 4MP camera system using their NVR (I'm fairly certain it's just rebranded Uniview). I didn't have alerts and was blissfully ignorant of everything going on that I missed over the years. Fast forward to last year, my NVR died and I migrated to Blue Iris...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    FWIW I never did get a handle on this, but the system just humms away. It's a dedicated system that ONLY deals with BI - so I'm not too terribly concerned about it. Everything works, just the memory usage stood out to me. I'm no longer running Sense in a docker, but a "standard install now"...

    Geofence issue

    Thanks for that link, I'll check into that. After a recent "life event" I would really like to hash this out so that I can get notified if someone is walking around my property when I'm not home.

    Geofence issue

    BI PC version 5.6.3.7 x64 (however my issue has been on every Blue Iris version/not something new) BI IOS version 2.03.07 IOS 16.1.1 (however occurred on prior 15.x versions as well) I deployed BI a few months ago and have been learning as I go. Been trying to read/search the forums as well to...

    Well, I'm not sure this is the desired result using the custom model. Apparently I'm a Fire Hydrant. I have 2 cameras facing somewhat similar areas (about 50' apart, facing eachother). I walked between both of them; in a big circle as a test to see any differences between the default...

    there is the reason i chose that screen name :banghead: Well, RIF/RTFM/Search struck again.... from what I found (really should have searched better before I posted), it's okay for it to be grayed out, you just define things in each camera tab instead. edit to add.... for local install of...

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    well, I tried a local install of SenseAI as the docker started to frustrate me. When attempting to do the custom model config under the BI AI tab, the "use custom model folder" is grayed out and I'm unable to check the box - is that anticipated behavior or do I have a problem? I cannot check...

    Damn, that was fast.. thanks! Being that I'm running SenseAI in a docker.. can I place it in my windows file structure (for BI) and point from there, or do I need to do something with docker as well?

    Mine is currently updating via the docker pull, so for whatever that's worth. I see a lot of people mentioning "YOLOV5L" I can't seem to find much on the site about it/using it... can someone point me in the right direction so I can start reading about how to use it?

    Thinking of converting, where do I start?

    Just noticed you are using a USG; I am as well. using a separate POE switch on my system, the traffic from the cameras is quite impressive. I'm very happy that my USG isn't having to manage that data, as well as the other 40 devices in my house (mix of wired/wireless/IoT).

    Thinking of converting, where do I start?

    I just went down this route... I am far from an expert, but here's my $.02 Needed: -POE Switch -2nd Network card for your PC to isolate the cameras from your primary network (new NIC will connect to the POE switch, existing will connect to your LAN) -Surveillance HDDs of your choice I did a...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    I should mention that the other day I changed my cameras from .265 to .264 to see if that would change anything - nope, it did not. CPU is even about the same. CPU/GPU encoding within BI doesn't seem to make much of a change on processor/ram load either. Please don't take that as a complaint...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Just wanted to say thank you. I was really trying to avoid punching a hole in my firewall (I hate port forwarding) for Blue Iris to get notifications of triggers when I'm not home. I have the ability to VPN into my home network, but that's a bit of a pain in the butt to use constantly. This...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    some more info. Currently, 4 cameras get filtered through the AI for alerts. The other 9 cameras get filtered through the AI, however there is NO alert sent on those for motion. I'm running the CPU version of SenseAI, and it appears to be using very little processor time. I don't see any...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    Well, my memory issues are still going on. While fine-tuning things (went from .265 to .264, and a ton of other settings for AI/Alerts to filter down all the push notifications) I realized something. If I stop running the BI interface and just have the service running in the background, task...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    I remember reading that page the other day, was really interesting. I’ve thought about adding LPR, however for my use case I’d have to find a free version/locally run. Frankly it’s not something I “need”; but it would be fun to play with. I’m just not too interested in a monthly subscription.

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    My NVR settings were recording the full 4mp/25FPS/.265. Substreams were used when streaming content to mobile devices on non-WiFi connections (LTE). Blue iris is setup to record both substreams and primary streams.... "Continuous + Triggered". When I've been reviewing alerts (motion...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    Got the graphics driver fixed, GPU is working and the processor use has dropped a bit. Part of my higher CPU use is that I'm running everything at 25FPS instead of 15FPS and using .265 instead of .264 - I wanted to see what this system "can do" compared to how my old NVR was setup. I can...

    Blue Iris & Sense AI - high memory usage

    Looking further, it appears my gpu isn’t doing its job; drivers appear borked and a reinstall isn’t working just yet. I’ll have to resolve that before messing with anything else

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    I figured it out..... I installed "NetTime" (NetTime - Network Time Synchronization Tool (timesynctool.com) The problem was the Windows Time Sync service, while set to "manual" was still running in the background. I stopped and then disabled the service. Immediately the cameras began grabbing...

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    This is weird. Either this was a LOT easier to setup than I made it out to be in my head, or I'm just blissfully ignorant at this point - time will tell. Cameras are all running (still!), HDD is getting some space used... so it appears that the recordings are... well, recording. SenseAI is...

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    Well, my primary goal of getting the cameras up and running on BI is complete (I think). Still don't know, what I don't know..... but I think it's coming along. Have 13 cameras running, recording set to constant/triggered (may adjust to constant/alert once I figure out the difference). Have...

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    Well, I finally got the NVME for the BI computer; got windows and what-not configured and ready to go. Have a fresh install of BI (v.5) on the system and disabled windows updates for the video card per the wiki. My plan is to either later today or tomorrow, to remove the NVR from my system and...

    New NVR or should I go Blue Iris?

    Currently with my NVR; 13 cameras at 4mp @ .265, I get about 12 days of history with 24/7 recording. I'd like to be able to get 2-3 weeks of recorded data out of the BI system, eventually.
