    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    VLC is not without its own inherent peculiarities and 'conditional' performance settings to do what would otherwise seem like a simple a logical approach to achieving a desired result. A very basic change you could try is switching the default input format from HTTP to RTP / TCP for a more RTSP...

    It would appear from the pic there are several possibilities for separating that housing given the angle of the shot and no detail about what's down in the recesses. The slots on each side may well be access to a simple snap/tab fastener method that holds it together. Are you able to log...

    Blue Iris Camera Compatibility.

    Cool. Boy was I chasing my tail on that one until seeing an ad proclaiming something along the lines of "supports two simultaneous users so Mom and Dad can both watch Baby!" Uhhh..., OK. For 20 bucks? Silly me. LOL

    Blue Iris Camera Compatibility.

    I was able to set a static IP in mine when I bought it last year. I don't recall the firmware version but just recently updated and now have v1.4.3 / Build 240919 Rel. 70035n -- presumably a 9/19/24 release if the 'Build' designation is indeed actually a date. I have a handful of the HS103...

    If your intention is to primarily receive image alerts vs. active links, you may find the email method more appropriate than push anyway as described in post #641 above. The delivery time difference in my particular area (and with Verizon 4G) does vary, but is usually negligible between the two...

    Annke WZ500 info

    Hi there, And I didn't have your problems when online with a p2p connection to their cloud servers using the Annke Smart app. Please post some screenshots of the method you used to access the camera firmware and a few shots of the configuration screens themselves. As posted earlier, my...

    Again, thanks for your response and input. I truly appreciate you taking the time to address something this trivial. And with all due respect to the more adventurous and development minded folks among you, I'm a basic needs 5.7.4.2 guy and intend to stay that way as long as possible! LOL I...

    Thanks for the reply and input. Here is where it ultimately goes after a third tap -- which is evidently to the phone clipboard at a small thumbnail size which can then be digitally zoomed and panned, both quite poorly and not exactly practical on any usable level. It would seem like...

    Forgive my slight diversion from the topic under discussion. I'll be brief. Is there an easy way to make a basic (small) notification .jpg image full screen by a simple screen tap like most all other apps? It's the only function I miss from my previous SMS/MMS notification method.

    Gotcha. But your wife's approach certainly sounds more effective!

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    That's wild, dude. Is it lethal, or just a significant reminder to its guest that popping in again probably isn't a good idea? I've never seen one of those. Wrens and Red Headed Woodpeckers are the biggest problem for our Bluebird nesting. They're tough little rascals though. And the boxes are...

    CVI/TVI capture card for Blue Iris?

    The hybrid approach is a very elegant solution to situations such as the one described here. This is a great box for integrating with Blue Iris at a bargain price. (I have two.)...

    Annke WZ500 info

    The camera needs cloud server contact for ONVIF authorization/functionality, so just opening up the firewall without actively re-initiating server contact afterward would still leave it relatively lifeless. And I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering if your efforts ever established...

    Blue Iris Camera Compatibility.

    I'm soon to be attempting some external ONVIF triggering and never realized that. You probably saved me a day of pissing up a rope! Thanks.

    Annke 151CP PTZ Camera Cannot Connect to BI or Web Page on Camera?

    More or less, but not entirely. The 'ONVIF USER' (or something similar) definitely seems to be a thing with these. But when the cam is actively registered it actually works well. Unfortunately, removing it from the account basically does a factory reset while it's at it and puts it back to...

    Good day folks. Not much useful information out there on these cameras except what has been so unselfishly contributed here. Many thanks to all for at least keeping me from going totally nuts trying to figure out the V1.04.11-230511 version I recently acquired. My platform is Blue Iris...

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Wouldn't surprise me and I can envision that. Having been in the industry for a whole past life I was fortunate enough to not have the pleasure of implementing and supporting such a bold (bad?) idea before ejecting back in '14. Home Wi-Fi and keeping Netfix streaming was bad enough back then...

    Low Cost Camera with Blue Iris for Bird Box

    Now I see it's under the removable cover from a 'parts only' pic on ebay. Pretty slick. Out of curiosity, any idea what the original purpose by the telecoms was for these? I guess I can see them in Headends and COs for monitoring use maybe?

    Cool. How is POE achieved with those? USB adapter?

    Annke 151CP PTZ Camera Cannot Connect to BI or Web Page on Camera?

    A webUI pops up for those cameras via their IP address and admin/admin login. I had limited access using SADP as well, but very limited. They appear to 'officially' require registration via the Annke Smart app before ONVIF and RTSP authorization is established for access by Blue Iris ( and...

    Where are video alerts after current recording?

    Being mostly a clips guy, here's my approach... In this example the 10 second re-trigger allowance period combined with the 300 second ( 5 min.) allowable duration for however many triggers occur basically compiles however many segments are generated into a single segment up to 5 minutes in...

    TinyCam Pro Web Server into Blue Iris Server

    There's also Wz-Mini_Hacks running on the SD card or the Wyze Beta RTSP firmware for RTSP on a V3 for direct connection to any VMS including Bl and tinyCam. I use a couple with my BI rig and they work great despite the naysayers. Wz_mini supports POE via the mini-usb port, go2rtc, Tail Scale...

    On a slightly different note, and courtesy of another forum, this just popped up as a method for locally storing single alert images which seemed to be a desired feature earlier in this thread. I believe this particular feature was from a request to separate a single confirmed alert image from...

    Are Evaluation Versions Now Fully Functional?

    Brain cramp on my end and actually answers the main question by itself. My bad. The frustration level is looking for anything to explain the glitchy performance at this point. Nah. Don't bother. It would be an irrelevant exercise at best as relates to my situation. But thanks anyway. That's...

    Are Evaluation Versions Now Fully Functional?

    Care to post a video? And was Direct-to-Disk or anything else non-functional in such an old demo? That's sorta what the thread is about..., functionality of Eval Versions.

    Are Evaluation Versions Now Fully Functional?

    All of that covered, dude. And I'm comparing these results to my i7/4790 as clearly mentioned. Amcrest T2599 also included this time around. Same crappy stream in BI even at H.264, but not quite as pronounced. This is where I'm most disappointed since you also may recall that H.265 utilization...

    Are Evaluation Versions Now Fully Functional?

    Thanks for the reply. But actually, Direct-to-Disk was indeed non-functional in earlier versions according to several references I discovered after posting. That said, I'm asking now due to a single 4K camera in solo pulling over 30% CPU / 8% GPU on a newly set up Win10 Pro i5-9500 test rig...

    Are Evaluation Versions Now Fully Functional?

    I seem to recall Direct-to-Disk and maybe another key function or two not being available in the BI demo version in the past. Can anyone definitively say whether or not this i s still the case -- if it actually ever was?
