    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    To be fair, he is mostly comparing price point of various cameras for the quality more than technical features. No one can deny the Reolink cameras are cheap cameras and they wont stand up to equivalent specced cameras that are a higher price. The RLC-810A he recommends is a cheaper camera than...

    Decent 4K PoE Cameras

    If you want AI recognition and you use blue iris, then you may be interested in this thread : [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk The Dahua 5442 are a nice camera. They were always outside my price range though :) @sebastiantombs What's the reason you...

    Decent 4K PoE Cameras

    I know this is a little bit of an older thread and the OP has likely well and truly made a decision. Budget probably plays the part in a purchase more than anything else. If you look at budget cameras, and multiple reviews on YouTube and other sites, the Reolinks, at the price point, are...

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

    Deepstack uses less CPU time and processes a lot quicker with the smaller images compared to the time Blue Iris uses to resize the image. Big time saving if you can send Deepstack the resized image and it works out okay for your situation

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

    Cloning a camera is just adding a new camera and chosing the copy from existing camera option. If the clone has identical streams to the original, it doesn't use extra bandwidth or resources. You then would modify the trigger section of the clone, identical to Rob's method, but chosing never...

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

    I was scratching my head over why certain sections of video would seem to freeze or skip during the recordings. I thought it was processing issues, but CPU usage is less than 20%. Deepstack and AITools processing time was less than a second and no repeat triggers being sent. Then I found this...

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

    I gave up on the Windows version of Deepstack. I just couldn't get it to run right and it was slow compared to the ubuntu VM I had been using previously. WSL2 is basically a virtual machine running Linux under Windows and I didn't end up going that route. I ended up running Deepstack as a...

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

    Not quite. The motion Blue Iris detects causes the snapshots to be taken or in the event of using single camera, it will actually record all motion clips. The AI part sends a trigger command back to Blue Iris which then flags the footage and sends an alert (single camera setup) or using the...

    That is true and I see the benefit of standalone BI if you have a lot of high def / 4K cameras for sure. I will likely be upgrading some cameras soon and when I do that I will run BI bare metal on a dedicated PC, but I will likely keep Deepstack running in the VM. I might even toy with...

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

    Does the latest Windows version allow auto start on boot without AItools calling it? I have noticed some people (not all, but includes myself on my setup) have some issues with the Pre-Release versions from VorlonCD and need to revert to the more stable 1.65 or 1.67 release. Edit: As a note...

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

    If Docker works for you then no need to go to windows. I am still running Deepstack as a Docker container on a Ubuntu virtual machine and no issues with it. As long as your network is reasonable, it shouldn't be an issue. I think Windows Deepstack is good if you want to run everything on the...

    My success with VirtualBox and Blue Iris

    In some ways I am moving to do the opposite of what you are doing. I have my main systems as Windows, but will look at VirtualBox to run a couple of Linux servers on top of the Windows Host. I have similar hardware specs to you, except mine is a core i7, so good to see it can work with 6 1080p...

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

    Personally, I don't actually find the 24/7 low-res recording of much use and I am moving away from it. You can run all this without cloning cameras and on one camera using version 1.67 or the latest pre-release from VorlonCD. Without a clone, you still save all the motion, but it will only flag...

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

    Could be nice coming from AITools or AITool sending the co-ordinates via MQTT to another program. I'd want to know the movement of a detected person as an example, rather than just Blue Iris stating random movement co-ordinates. Blue Iris natively can't tell the difference between a plastic...

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

    I might have missed this somewhere, but has there been a Deepstack release for Windows that can either run as a service or auto-start on boot? I've tried googling and not found anything on this. I am trying to move away from running it in a virtual machine and running everything natively in...

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

    This is perfectly doable. Instead of doing the Low res camera as per Rob's video, make a clone camera for triggering. IF you use the Clone method in Blue Iris the clone uses no extra CPU resources and can also be hidden so you don't two of each camera. It all depends if you need to record...

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

    @Ripper99 is correct. My use of the word "clone" was not actually a clone camera. Blue Iris has a function for cloning a camera. What Rob (and myself and others following the same process) are doing is actually creating a new camera in Blue Iris with just the substream for the detection and...

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

    I didn't mean clone as in cloning with in BLue Iris, I meant duplicate camera. Either way, the issue I have is not excessive motion detection, it is delayed processing of the motion. The whole thing works as expected, except it takes 5 seconds before the first motion event triggers the HD...

    I have the default 1 minute set down to 5 seconds, and the break time on the trigger is 4 seconds. On the motion sensor settings, I have it set to a fairly sensitive level with a min object size of 300 and min contrast 27. I also unticked all advanced options. Edit: Make time is set to 0.5 in...

    I have just installed this tool, following the guide and also following Rob's (The Hookup) YouTube video on the same. I have everything working, but I find that it takes some time for Blue Iris to trigger. I am using a clone camera as I am recording a substream 24/7 from this camera as well as...

    No sound when selecting "Play live audio" in Blue Iris

    I am glad I went looking on forums before tearing my hair out looking for settings. Thanks to post #7 I can just accept this is a limitation of running as a service. I would rather no audio on live view than and to have it start automatically on a reboot rather than have BI not running. :) I'll...

    Blue Iris 5 - Stunnel & HTTPS Issues

    As a few others have said. Add the sslVersion = TLSv1.2 and no messing with certificates are needed. It will just work with the default stunnel.pem file at TLSv1.2. Adding one line to the config file certainly is easier than messing about with zerossl and trying to actually find the...

    Glad I am not the only one. I was having trouble finding information, and still haven't. I am on a clean install of Windows 10, 64bit. As a note, BI 4 works fine, no issues at all. Seems to only be BI 5 causing the issue. It seems to be related to the PTZ tab. I added the cameras using BI...

    Swan NVR8-7400 and a Reolink RLC-410-5MP

    As far as I understand, Swann NVR's only work with Swann Camera's. That is one of the big red flags with Swann. Happy to be proven wrong if it is possible, but I have not found anywhere on Swann's support pages that they support non Swann cameras. Interesting to know one does work outside of...
