    Possible to have BI sent audio motion detection notification to Alexa ?

    Home Assistant is a very very deep rabbit hole and is very addictive, you start off with a few smart lights, and before you know it you have a whole smart home, lighting, heating, sensors, CCTV feeds, automation routines, hottub control, vacuum cleaner my list goes on and on and smart control...

    Possible to have BI sent audio motion detection notification to Alexa ?

    I'm doing this in two different ways on two different BI systems. At my mums house, I use Voice Monkey because It's very simple to set up for a simple Alexa announcement that there is motion. "Someone is at the front door" when there is a person at the front of the house/driveway. On my...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    I've got a Blue Iris and Code Project AI (with CUDA) running perfectly well on two systems, Windows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Home - I don't notice any difference between them for the purpose of BI and CP.AI, but I much prefer day to day usage of Win10 over Win11 mainly due to the OS UI (Windows 11...

    Defrag

    Solid State Drives (SSD) Do not need to be defrag, but do need optimization to TRIM the drive (make old deleted blocks ready to be writable again) even this is not critical as modern OS and modern drives TRIM on the fly without issues. Hard Disks (HDD standard magnetic spinning drives) that are...

    just got home starting my computer and clicked on Blue Iris icon and got this

    Certs don't work like this. The issuer is NOT BI it's a CA (certificate authority) company like Verisign, GoDaddy, DigiCert, Thawte, GloabalSign etc etc - They generate chains of trust by generating CAs from their heavily guarded root CA and then eventually down the chain they sign certificates...

    v5 run as service asking for system pw

    I would recommend setting a password to log in to your PC, if your house is broken into and your PC stolen it will offer a little more protection, ideally you want a password/pin and also enable Windows bitlocker (drive encryption) at least on the boot drive.

    So If I understand correctly, this update means that now is the time to sell all my 1080p Dahua cam and upgrade to 8K Reolinks - eBay and Amazon here I come.

    Simply re-applying my most recent renewal key has sorted out my BI demo mode, I didn't need to restore from backup or anything else, did mine this morning ~6 hours ago, and it's still ok now.

    I've had the same issue, I renewed 28/03/23 - woke up this morning to find I'd dropped back into eval mode, thankfully readding my renewal key from March has sort it out.

    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    My personal setup is sub-streams for motion/AI and live multicam view but for recording I'm CONTINUOUS (24/7 main-stream) using direct to disk there is little system resource usage and as 3.5" SATA disks are so cheap now for many TeraBytes I don't really care about the disk saving of sub vs...

    Should i renew Blue Iris or move to Scrypted?

    like anything in life, there is also the concept of stack it high and sell it cheap, providing Ken can keep his costs low he can sell it cheap, selling cheap often means a larger user base and people are more inclided to renew each year and stick with BI, at lot of the time the cheaper option...

    How practical is it to connect my parents IP cam from their house to my BI server remotely?

    I've used these a few times, they work well, but you do need line of sight, normally means mounting them pretty high unless the terrain between the two points is flat or one side is already much higher (looking down) that the other

    Certificates - HTTPS & Google/Edge

    As you can see, fully signed and trusted within the browser - there are many ways (clients) to use lets encrypt and DuckDNS - I run a home assistant VM for home automation and use the DuckDNS and Nginx Proxy Manager add-ons within home assistant to manage the updates for me - all very easy, very...

    Certificates - HTTPS & Google/Edge

    You want to use a combination of Let's Encrypt and Duck DNS - DuckDNS will give you a FQDN and Lets Encrypt will give you a valid signed SSL cert for free. I've used it for years and it works great.

    How practical is it to connect my parents IP cam from their house to my BI server remotely?

    ok so let's assume your parents have the spare upload bandwidth, and you have the spare download bandwidth to support the stream the only thing you want to think about is the transport for the stream, you really don't want to be transferring it without some form of encryption over the internet...

    5.7.7 - May 24, 2023

    5.7.7.3 has fixed the problem, I now only have one warning sign, but that is on a cheapo wifi cam I have in the garage that only runs 10fps with 0.10 key frame. - I do notice though that all my cameras have a forced 5.0 second pre-trigger, but I guess Ken has his reasons for this.

    5.7.7 - May 24, 2023

    I did have them all at 3.0 seconds before the upgrade, when I saw the upgrade notes and the warning sign I changed them all to 5.0 seconds, but it hasn't made any difference - I have all my cameras setup like this

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    2.0.8-Beta vs 2.1.8-Beta I've been running 2.0.8-Beta since the day of release using CUDA 11.7 with my 970GTX, and it runs rock solid - I'm kinda of the attitude that it if something is not broken, then don't muck about it with it. My question is, should I upgrade to 2.1.8-Beta or not? Are...

    Should BI consume this much memory?

    Yes - most image AI programs (Deepstack, CP.AI) use a good amount of memory as they need to load the programming environment, many libraries and modules - I'd put my CP.AI at about 2GB of ram usage and 1GB GPU RAM and BI at about 800-1200MB RAM - They'll both also be using some amount of...

    Is there a large performance difference between HDD, SSD, and NVME Drives in terms of video playback?

    In this day n age with USB 3 and Thunderbolt, you'll not see much difference between externally attach storage and internally attached SATA for the purpose of things like CCTV footage as the bus speed is more than enough providing the external storage device is using a half decent controller...

    Best push option for 2023

    100% Pushover - I've had it for years, and it never lets me down. Not only do I Pushover from BI but also my Home Assistant instance, Node Red and a few other bits, works great with groups of phones and is very easy to use and customise.

    Alert Image retention and clean-up

    I have my clips set at a size 3.5TB and my alerts set at 18 days - I know with my current cams/setup I can record for ~16days in 3.5TB so having alerts at 18 days gives me a few days buffer.
