    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    I synced the profiles in the Recording tab to profile 1 and deleted the two folders yesterday. Checked back this morning and the folders are now gone from the Alerts drop down as well as in explorer.

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    As am I, and why there are files for these 2 specific cameras. I've gone through the settings of each of the cameras multiple times and cannot find any difference.

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    I see all the cameras when I go to all clips. Of course that doesn't show just alerts, but the whole recording. At this point I imagine it has something to do with the age of the cameras and tweaking the sensitivity settings.

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    The 2 SWAN bullet cameras in my Garage are the only ones I can't reliably get to show an Alert in the Alerts view. They are fairly old from 2016 so I might just look into replacing them with something nicer/newer. Still baffled why the reolink/Garage cameras have folders in the Alerts folder...

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    Nope, I double/triple checked and all Cameras are set to the "New" folder. Yes, I verified everything this morning. So Driveway is showing alert clips, it just doesn't have a folder under "Alerts". However I have 2 other cameras in the garage and neither is showing in the clips section when...

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    You bet, here is some more info. BI Version = 5.8.1.3 Using CPAI only on my older cameras. It is not being used on the reolink, garage or Driveway (screenshots of below). Let me know if I need to drill down deeper in any of these.

    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    I have 7 cameras currently setup, but not all of them have a folder under alerts. Looking at the Alerts folder (as set in Storage) I only see Garage & reolink. The reolink has nothing but *.dat files and Garage has a couple of *.dat files and a whole lot of JPEG's. Haven't been able to find...

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    Good to know. I only run 1 SSD and 1 Purple drive, but nice to have an option to add a second one if ever needed.

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    Yes, thank you! Will check if there are any updated GPU drivers. Also will look into i5-8500 Ho Elitedesk G4 800 SFF. Appears they are really cheap PC's. I know my Optiplex is getting quite old.

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    So I set hardware accelerated decode to No, re-enabled the camera and now it's showing. Is there any reason to re-enable this setting?

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    I can't imagine adding 1 camera would cause the system to become unstable. Especially since I disabled one the new one is currently replacing. But here we go: Dell Optiplex 9010 i7-3770 16GB RAM C Drive = 840 EVO (250GB) Cameras are all at 15 FPS Hardware Decode is set to Default for all...

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    I purchased a couple of IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 to add/upgrade my current list of cameras. The camera is initialized/configured and working. Going into BI I put in the IP and click on Find/Inspect which comes back with Once I enable the camera BI starts becoming almost unusable. The clips on the side...

    Looking for camera upgrade suggestions

    Looks like IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 is a good one to go with.

    Looking for camera upgrade suggestions

    Plan on upgrading some older cameras I have, but with so many choices it's hard for me to know which way to go. List of some of my current cameras: Driveway - Dahua - IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Driveway is about 30' wide. It's an OK camera, but I feel like it's dated and not as clear as I would like...

    SMTP Relay server issues?

    I can't even get the test working, no outbound in logs nor in the postfixrelay smtp server.

    SMTP Relay server issues?

    I run my own SMTP relay server via docker and use it for BI alerts among others. Wanted to try the detection features on my Dahua cameras (several models), but I'm not able to successfully test the SMTP settings. All I get is failed. Checked my firewall logs and the camera isn't even trying to...

    Looking to upgrade to a low light camera

    Thanks for that bit of information. I'll have to decide if I want to run another POE cable. I also have an option of adding a switch as I have a "holiday lights" junction box nearby.

    Looking to upgrade to a low light camera

    I currently have 2 cameras out front. The driveway camera is an IPC-HDW5231R-ZE which works good at night (also happen to have a street light across the street). The other driveway which is at the far corner of the front of the house is an IPC-HDBW4631R-ZS. This camera really doesn't perform...

    Type of Camera and placement (no eve)

    I'd like to place a camera in this area (towards the front of house forward of the door), but as you can see there is no eve to help protect the camera. Any ideas on what type of camera and how to best protect it? This camera would be watching the side gate/truck.

    Any chance of having BIT run as a service? I don't stay logged into the PC that is running BI.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I might have to see about returning it then, though I do have a porch light on either side of the garage doors.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    Ah I see, didn't realize the scope of the marketplace. Hopefully this camera will server its purpose for some time then. Next time I know where to go.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I was thinking about putting it there, just trying to figure out how to route the cable cleanly. I figured a dome camera was better for this situation. Also, I got the camera from aliexpress.com, which appears to be recommended by most people around here. Edit: This camera quality from testing...

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I want to add a camera outside that watches my driveway. The only issue I have is the way the house is built, there are no good placement options for the camera. I have a Dahua HDBW4631R-ZS and Junction box which makes it stick out pretty far. I have a CAT6 w/POE on the other side of the...
