    VLAN firewall rule - block the cameras but not the Blue Iris computer

    I would not give the BI box unrestricted access to the internet. For one- Windows update has broken my settings several times with automatic updates even though I've turned them all off.

    Enable/disable mobile alert notification via http request

    I would clone the camera you are trying to trigger. Set one camera to push the alert when triggered externally by whatever source you are using. Set the other camera to not push the notification.

    SMS motion alert pics

    Thanks. That's interesting. I don't get push notifications whether I'm connected directly on my local wifi or connected through VPN.... unless I open port 443. All the push settings are correct in BI since they do work but only if I allow 443- then my android phone receives the push. However...

    SMS motion alert pics

    Fenderman, what port do you open on your blue iris box in order to allow push notifications without giving full internet access? I would much rather get the push notification but I haven't figured out what port is used for the android push? Currently, I only opened the Gmail smtp ports and use...

    Got a handful of Dahua 4MP Starlight Turrets with Mics in - $75

    The website ad does not specify if these are 2.8mm or 3.6mm. Can you please clarify what lens they have?

    Close call for the chipmunk

    Not ready for another dog. Our boxer died a little over a year ago. He was 14 and taught Bones "the ropes." Especially how to act around our kids. I know it won't be long before Bones is gone too. It was hard enough explaining how his buddy died. Not looking forward to it. Our 3 year old still...

    Close call for the chipmunk

    My buddy Bones was huffing and puffing at the back door this morning. Figured he had to go pee or something but when I let him out, he ran straight out chasing something. Quite unusual since he doesn't move like that much anymore... he's 12 years old. Couldn't figure out what it was until I...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    This is exactly what it does for me. I'm running everything locally on the same windows 10 machine (Blue Iris, AITool, & Deepstack). Once the mask is drawn in place, it works fine. It's just the drawing process that's a bit tedious since you have to guess where the pointer is actually going to...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    @Chris Dodge First, thanks for the great work and making your project available to all of us. Couple minor things I noticed: Not sure if you are aware but the integrated masking feature is broken for cameras that show a vertical image instead of horizontal. For example, my doorbell camera...

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    For anyone still following this thread... after a lot of troubleshooting and very little sleep last night (I did a clean BI install and had to set up my whole system again). I narrowed it down to two different issues. First and foremost, my purple WD hard drive was failing. It completely...

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    I do not stay logged into the RDP all the time. Is that what you are asking? Usually, I am streaming through UI3 on a spare TV but that's it. I've messed with a bunch of settings...still not sure why I'm getting the blur from the Blue Iris console and android app but not after exporting clips...

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    This is what it looks like when viewed on the android app, UI3, and the BI console.

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    Wow, I just noticed that when I play this exported clip with VLC, it has the same ghosting. If I use windows media player, it does not ghost.

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    The power settings have always been as you suggest per the wiki I read on setting up the blue iris machine. I am seeing the blur on the Blue Iris main console when I remote in, through the UI3 server, and through the BI android app. I'm going to post a screen recording of the blur I get on my...

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    BI pc is headless. No peripherals attached at all. Recording at 15fps. Iframe set to 15 as well. I am recording bvr format with Intel HW acceleration. I have 8 cameras. All recording direct to disc. Using substreams on 5 of them. Cpu normally stays at 10-15% utilization but jumps up to 60-70...

    Ghosting/Blur on BI Recording

    I am getting ghosting/blur on my recordings but only when viewed through BI- both the main windows application and through the server/android app. The weird thing is that If I export the clip/recording, the ghosting is gone. It plays back normally. Seems like the direct to disk recording is...

    IPC-T2231T-ZS IPC-T2431T-AS 2022 IPC-HX2XXX-Molec_MultiLang_PN_V2.820.0000000.48.R.220614.bin

    Question- is the zoom & focus tab still working for everyone on this new firmware? I upgraded my IPC-2231T-ZS to the linked firmware and now the zoom and focus tab is not responding at all. Can't view the camera feed nor change the zoom values. Any ideas? I tried on chrome, IE, and edge. None...

    Caught this guy taking pictures...

    Those up front fees you were charged sound like an agency fee and not a carrier fee. Those vary by state. We are not allowed to charge agency fees (that would go straight in our agency pocket) unless we apply and get SC DOI approval. For example, some agencies charge a payment processing fee if...

    I agree with you. When COVID started, the larger insurance companies were the first to offer us any assistance - including and not limited to low interest rate loans. One thing people don't realize, however, is how the low interest rate environment has increased premiums and underwriting...

    I am an independent agent that represents Progressive. Any time I write a homeowners policy, I notify the client that their home will undergo an exterior inspection. Most of the time, they are conducted within the first 2-4 weeks of the policy being issued. 10 years ago when I started in this...

    What router are you guys using?

    I haven't figured out how to view the logs. There is an option to turn the feature on but the logs have to be downloaded through ssh commands?

    What router are you guys using?

    Unifi Dream Machine. (not the pro) If I were to do it all over, I'd go for the older USG. I haven't had major issues with the UDM but it does have a few bugs that need to be worked out.

    is Sentry legit?

    I am not a developer. Nor do I work in anything related to IT. However, just the fact that Sentry and other AI solutions involve sending data off my local network was enough reason for me to dismiss them as an option. Especially since local solutions exist like AItool with Deepstack running on...

    Network Layout

    I am slowly upgrading my home network components and getting deeper into the Unifi ecosystem. My IP Cams are not allowed internet access since I have given them each a fake gateway ip address but I'd like to further isolate them as well as my IoT devices (alexa, smart plugs, smart light...

    Snapshot quality

    Remove the substream and see if you get full resolution. I was having trouble with snapshots when using substreams on my front door camera. It was sending low resolutions pics when movement was detected to Aitool. This has not been fixed as far as I know... One of the drawbacks of using the...

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    So far so good. I enabled substreams on all of my cameras except the front door and driveway- those are cloned and sending full resolution pictures to AITool for processing. I've been switching streams on UI3 and haven't had a crash so it seems switching from local system to user account did the...

    I just did this. I'll upgrade to the latest BI version again to see if it resolved the crashes and report back.

    5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

    I saw a thread about a recent update where some people were locked out. It never happened to me and BI never asked me for any type of password. I thought Ken had fixed the issue in a later update and nothing was needed to be done? Either way, I went back to version 5.2.7.12 with no substreams...
