    IVS Trigger

    Are IVS triggers better than using the AI in BlueIris? Or do they compliment each other? Asking as the IVS triggers I have may not trigger consistently. person walks through the zig zags and it is not till they hit the 3rd or 4th zag that it lights up on the camera. Only asking as I want...

    When will we escape internet explorer?

    I was curious. With IE, dead and out of support, will cameras move to supporting newer browsers? Windows 11 completely drops IE, so eventually we will need an alternative, right?

    Local recording

    Added as cards to my cameras and they started to record locally. Quite a bit actually. To the point I cannot compare it to BI. Is there a way to have it indicate the trigger, smart detection vs ivs? Not seeing it.

    There are a few threads on this topic without real resolution so figured to have my own. middle of the day and might see the pixelated blob behind a person walking through the frame. first off, when this happens, is it a bi issue, bi computer issue, browser view or camera issue? that’s just...

    SD cards

    Probably a stupid question and I think I know the answer with prices these days. do you guys put so cards in the camera as a fail safe to the BI system going down or not firing?

    Motion Detection

    It seems things are constantly evolving and changing, so keeping up is sometimes hard. With image and motion detection, I am trying to understand something. When I began my camera journey, I read about deepstack, and that what my direction. Then the improvement of camera detection followed so...

    FOV and camera config

    whats the strategy here? flip to portrait for a taller image that gets across the whole front of the garage or stay landscape for the wider image? landscape captures more to the left and less to the bottom right. The goal is another camera at the other end of the garage facing this direction...

    5442 ip reset

    Not sure what is happening, but when I change the ip, my camera becomes inaccessible. log into 1.108, set password, set up, save. once complete I am not able to access the camera. My router shows the new ip of the device as set, but I cannot reach it on the ip I set. I am setting my computer...

    Mounting above a light

    Still need to pull set up my test mount, but before wasting time pulling a wire, is a camera over a light bad? I thought I saw a post on this before but was having issues locating it. my plan is to mount at the corner of the garage, covering the driveway, but there is naturally a light at the...

    Garage camera

    Lots of talk and the 5442 and how good it is. In this case though I just want a basic camera inside the garage. would this be a valid place for a cheaper revoking. Without being stuck on the 5442 in my main spots this cheaper yet quality camera seems like it’s a solid fit for a basic spot...

    Blue iris mobile app

    Is it worth the 10$ in the App Store? The web access via mobile is pretty rough. Just wanted to ask before making the purchase. Wasn’t sure if there was a decent alternative or not or if this is one of those just buy the app moments.

    varifocal setup

    Curious as this is not something I gave lots of thought to when trying to get dialed in. If I zoom to get the image to capture my desired area, what do i do with focus? Currently it is right in the middle, however, it is my front door, so would it be better to instead set focus to near as that...

    BI setup and image detection

    When I first started to set things up, I jumped right to the 2 camera AI trigger setup in BI. That is, I set up the AI tool with deepstack image detection, and from there, triggered the second camera with higher resolution recording. However, I have long thought about this setup and thought...

    Motion detection seems hit or miss, looking for some advice

    I have the IPC-t5442t and the camera itself is quite good. It is my first camera, so my issue can be user error/configuration issue or a misunderstanding. My setup is to record 24/7 from the substream and then on motion BI snaps an image and the AI add-on tells BI to record the HD feed. The...

    ready to buy

    So, I finally got my first main camera in and also added an ezviz doorbell cam to round out the front door view. But a camera is crap without any history, so I need to get BI and for BI a system to run it. I am eyeing a system with an i5-6500 and 8GB ram, hp z240. Looking at the sizing guide...

    screwed up my installation a little

    so, one thing I did not account for was IR flair (if that's the technical term). Installed during the day and then night came. Things are still decent but curious how much I can do to make it better. Also, because it is my first cameral, maybe I am overreacting. I tried shifting down and...

    Dahua vs unifi

    In my house I have unifi APs, network gateway and soon switches to provide poe for devices. With that said I ordered a verifocal dahua clone from Andy, but afterwards started to ask myself why I broke trend in matching my equipment. So I just wonder how the brands compare. From what I saw...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    I started a post on Reddit and in the end, I was sent here for more direct advice on my needs. Below is my post from Reddit as I feel there is no reason to re-write it. I have seen some posts about hikvision, but then I learned there is a lot of rebranding with them, so while good, maybe...
