    One cam showing substream instead of full when selected from BI console

    One of my cams, that I've had running for a long time with no changes, today displays the substream when selected from the BI console. i.e., It doesn't switch to full stream when clicked on. Live view direct from the cam is the full stream and fine. UI3 works as normal. BI stats show running...

    What do you call these electrical fittings/plates with a little hood?

    Searching for something that I should know but can't come up with the name for the life of me. Picture a plate either circular or rectangular. In the center there's a circle. Split the circle horizontally across the center and deform the upper half out to form a hood and either remove or push...

    What would cause the main stream in BI to lag the substream and cam's live view by several minutes?

    I've had this problem on and off for a long time... The main stream of my Color4K-X will lag the substream and the live view in the cam's web interface by several minutes. See video below (sorry for the Shorts video, easiest way I could think to show it quickly while I'm thinking to ask about...

    Raccoon gets bitch slapped

    Put some extra chicken that I grilled tonight out for the stray cats and the local raccoon got a little too nosy.

    Trying to recover 2231R-ZS. Can still get an IP, not yet bricked

    While cleaning up some of my cabling, I disconnected an old 2231R-ZS cam that I have. Reconnected and it didn't come back up. I've taken it down and moved it to a known good cable directly off of the switch and I've reset if many times. It does power up fine and I can get an IP. If I reset I...

    ASUS routers vulnerable to critical remote code execution flaws

    Three critical-severity remote code execution vulnerabilities impact ASUS RT-AX55, RT-AX56U_V2, and RT-AC86U routers, potentially allowing threat actors to hijack devices if security updates are not installed. These three WiFi routers are popular high-end models within the consumer networking...

    Anyone else like to fish?

    Caught today from a neighbor's pond where I was helping pull out some invasive weeds. Just shy of 4 lbs. Long but not very fat. Sent it back to gain some weight for the fall.

    Well, that was no fun at all!

    I do a metal finishing operation for a product that I make using a big ass Baldor buffer. Been doing this every day for +25 years. Got careless today and caught the edge of the part. Wheel threw it right back into my face at whatever force a 1 HP buffer spinning at 3600 RPM generates. Hit me...

    IVS triggers not working for several cams

    BI no longer seems to recognize IVS triggers from several of my cams. One is a 5442, another is an older 5231. Both used to work fine so I'm assuming some recent BI update has changed something. I see that they've added some things related to ONVIF config in a more recent update but not sure...

    Fox and my Cat Meet for a Drink

    One of the neighborhood foxes happened to make its nightly visit to my pond while the cat was there. They're used to each other so kind of uneventful. lol (Cat's kind of hard to see in the small player.)

    Damn... My storage drive died. : ( Which of the WD Purple drives do I want now?

    Seems to be a bunch of different versions of these now. Which do I want? Any good deals out there?

    Why is BI using my GPU when I have no hardware acceleration active?

    Seems to happen now and then. Usually after a restart of the server.

    CPU spikes very high when a group of cams trigger

    I have a group of 3 cams which are triggered from a motion sensor or from one another. i.e., If the motion sensor trips or one cam is triggered, then they all trigger. Been working as I want fine for a long time. Noticed today that CPU is spiking way up to 70-100% when the cams trigger...

    Can't I get 1/4 speed playback to stick when reviewing video?

    Using the playback control with the sliders and dots at the bottom of the screen, I can move the circle to the 1/2 speed dot and it works fine. I can move it to the 1/4 speed dot and it shows 1/4 speed but it won't stay there. Unless I keep my finger on the mouse button, it jumps to either...

    Why am I not getting hi-res alert images?

    Was working fine up until the point (I think) that I started to set up CodeProject. Never did anything with it waiting until things shake out a little more from the 2.0 release. I've been using Plate Recognizer and that's worked fine. Up to the same point since I have no images being sent to...

    Police chase down my street

    Finally something exciting to capture on my boring street. State Troopers chasing a car that failed to stop on the highway about a mile away and was attempting to run. Of course my worst cams had the best view... Overview with audio... LPR cams did pretty well... Unfortunately, I...

    Fing's Top 10 surveillance cams found through their user's scans

    Kind of interesting. Skewed a lot by being limited to users of Fing to begin with but shows how the big consumer cams dominate. A little surprised to see Hikvision show up as much as it did. According to our analysis, the Blink Mini was the most popular camera, with 40,000 recognitions...

    What would cause the main stream in BI to lag the substream and cam's live view by a couple of minutes?

    This issue seems to come and go for me... At times video from the main stream of my 4K-X will lag by a full minute or two from that shown vs the substream and the cams' live view. Eventually it will 'jump' and catch up but being behind can go on for quite a while. As I watch it now, it's...

    Where do you set alerts/notifications for system events?

    My brain seems not to be functioning today... Where is it that you can set actions/alerts/notifications for system events? I know that I've done it before but can't find that now. Somehow, I think after some recent update, my startup settings changed to start up with a red shield. Didn't...

    Foxes argue over food

    These two hang out together all the time. Unusual to see them fighting. The first came and sat there with the bag of whatever for 5 minutes or so waiting for the other. That's gratitude for you I guess.

    Can't change IP of new cam added by copying existing cam

    Trying to add a new 5442T by copying another that I usually use as a template. Now when doing it that way, the new cam comes up with an asterisk next to the name as it does when you create a clone cam and it won't let me change the IP of the new cam. I suppose another quirk of the new IP...

    Save button for Privacy Mask?

    I can't get a privacy mask to stick on one of my 5442 cams. It's good for a day or so and then disappears and I have to recreate it. I've tried various browsers including IE. Should there be a save button on that screen? I don't see one.
