    Loss of Signal Watchdog

    I have just added two W-Fi cameras to my system and I'm making use of the Loss of Signal Watchdog to notify my VERA of the LOS and power cycle the mains supply line for the camera to force them to re-acquire the Wi-Fi. but I'd like to avoid unnecessary power cycles. Is there any way for Blue...

    @index

    I know that there is a @index function that cycles through all the cameras. Is it possible to create other such groups, @outdoor for example that would consist of only the outdoor cameras? Thanks

    Low Power, Battery Powered, Outdoor Wi-Fi IP Camera?

    I need to install two cameras in locations that will be extremely difficult to access with power and/or PoE. So I'm looking at the idea of battery power with a solar panel to recharge. Does anyone know of a low power Wi-Fi IP Camera (that will work with Blue Iris) suitable for this task? I've...

    Force camera/camera group to record

    I can see that it might, but it sounds to me like a fairly complex process of changing the camera state control to Record when Triggered, then Triggering it. It sounds to me like the event will be over before anything happens :) As opposed to a single command to "Demand Record Camera A Start/Stop".

    Force camera/camera group to record

    I read through the JSON section of the Help but I didn't see anyplace to force a camera to go into record mode. I saw the ability to Trigger a camera but I interpret that to mean that if Record is not defined When Triggered then it won't just start Recording. Did i misunderstand something

    Force camera/camera group to record

    I'm looking to see if there is a way to send a command to BI that will cause "Camera A' and/or "Camera_Group_One" to start recording. I'm using Blue Iris, the Blue Iris Plug in for Vera and ImperiHome as a Control Tablet near the front door for the combination. The tablet displays the live...

    Motion Sensing and Triggering

    I'm in the process of configuring my Blue Iris to do motion sensing in conjunction with my Vera. So far the sensing is spotty, perhaps 20 pct of cases does it trigger on motion. Does anyone have any suggestions on a strategy for configuring object size and contrast settings, approaches for...

    How many cams do you have at your residence?

    I have 6 camera indoors and 9 outdoors, all fixed cameras, all PoE devices and one fixed WiFi at the front door. Everything is managed by my Vera system (which also manages the alarm system) with some interior cameras only active if the alarm system is armed and no one is home. Vera also sets...

    Blue Iris Logging

    I'm curious if anyone has BI logging to SysLog? All of my systems (Vera, severs, routers, etc) are logged to a SysLog on my NAS but I haven't found a way to log BI activity that way. Am I missing something?

    Profile Configuration Suggestions

    I'm in the process of completing my Blue Iris install. I have a total of 11 cameras, 4 interior and 7 exterior cameras. I'm looking for suggestions on configuring Profiles given that I also have VERA HA interfaced to both the Blue Iris AND my DSC alarm System. My initial thinking is profiles...

    Mask Video

    I started fiddling with that this morning ... it might be a usable workaround. There wouldn't be too many of them, for me maybe two or three cameras that need blocking, so it would probably be practical.

    Mask Video

    I'm interested in something similar but for my own use. Is there any way to set a "privacy mask", to prevent BI from displaying a certain area of the screen? I'm thinking about installing a camera in the master bedroom and for obvious reasons I'd like to have certain areas "blacked-out" so...
