    No alerts since I rebooted yesterday

    Usually, there are lots of replies with helpful suggestions when I post about a problem! That's okay, all is back to normal now. TLDR: Reinstalled Deepstack Here is what I think happened: Blue Iris was running great, but as I mentioned, the video being shown on UI3 was very lagged. I...

    No alerts since I rebooted yesterday

    Arrived home from work and my wife said: Look on the monitor, you aren't home yet, and sure enough, a bunch of seconds later I could watch myself park in front of the house and walk inside. This made me decide that maybe it was time to reboot BI. That went fine, but since then, no alerts...

    I thought the troublemakers were going to steal my car for a second!

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    A little over an hour ago, I deleted all the recordings and database files. It's been running fine since. It will probably run great now. I'll watch it carefully when it gets up to 100% disk usage. It's telling me I have 0% disk usage now so lots of room! Where do you set the size of the...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    Reviewing the settings panel in BI, I happened to notice the "Auto-protect when flagged" check box. My system has been running for a long time. Could it have built up zillions of flagged files and it isn't able to delete them? What's the help file say? I'm unchecking that box right now...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    Thank you for the replies. I read them last night and shut down the BI service, changed the folder structure as described, then moved the files into their new folders. Fired up BI again and let it run. This hasn't improved anything. Every hour it seems to delete everything, so the most it...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    Please note that the "new" folder is set to delete. As I understand it, if you do that, nothing will be moved to the "stored" folder. This is how the "stored" folder is set:

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    This thread should have a better title. Maybe: BI is Deleting New Clips Or: BI is storing more than the Limit size. Possibly helpful information... On the screen grab, the left panel shows that there is 6.76 TB stored in the H:\Blue Iris New folder The panel on the right shows how it should...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    Good point. I have it set so that all cameras are recording 24/7

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    I think this is the key!! Until I read your post, it hadn't occurred to me to see why it wasn't keeping a log. This is a check box on the Status Screen when you have the Log tab selected. Now I have that checked so I am keeping a log. Here is the curious thing I am finding: This is a...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    My POE switch is holding solid. The disk usage is really weird. I feel I have plenty of space. Just not sure that BI is doing what I am asking it as to storage. The Blue Iris DB is on C which is an SSD. I have all the video stored to H which is a 10TB WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drive...

    My BI stops recording at random times.

    I think the timeline view shows this well. In this pic, I've scrolled back the TimeLine to where it has dropped out And... this shows the TimeLine zoomed out and shows earlier from today. Running 5.5.8.2 (6/22/2022) which is the "latest critical or highly-stable update" If anyone is...

    aiinput folder -> on SSD or spinning drive?

    Thank you for the replies. It really sounds like I'm not very current. I have the CPU version of Deepstack running. This was after much trial and error. I can't seem to find a definitive procedure for how to get Deepstack running on my GPU - just a bunch of threads that talk about doing it...

    aiinput folder -> on SSD or spinning drive?

    Hi all. Just trying to get things going to the best places if at all possible. I have 15 cameras and am using Deepstack. The OS is on an SSD and I have the db going there. The recorded video is going to my 10TB WD Surveillance drive. My question is: Where should the aiinput folder live...

    $50 BoaVision PTz Cam for portable completely-wireless use with Blue Iris

    That's an excellent solution! It's pretty much what I am doing in my case too.

    $50 BoaVision PTz Cam for portable completely-wireless use with Blue Iris

    Maybe I can help with this. My hobby is building electronic parts for RC vehicles. I have built a few battery-powered items that include an LVC that completely disconnects the battery once the low voltage is reached. Mostly these are used on the Milwaukee M18 battery pack but it would work...

    intruder in the driveway and carport

    I cut out a bunch of the video that showed what put him on the ground. He had a very expensive-looking pair of shoes on. I hadn't considered that he should lose them. I was out there in my socks, so in a way, it would have made sense ;-)

    intruder in the driveway and carport

    Thank you all for the comments. I have had my vehicles broken into five times in the six years I have lived here. This is the second crack-head that I have caught. The first one I managed to hang onto until the police arrived to take him away. They let me know that he would be back on the...

    intruder in the driveway and carport

    I was able to meet up with him before he left the driveway. Pretty sure he won't be coming back anytime soon.

    Did you guys spot the set of bolt cutters he had with him?

    The title kind of speaks for itself. Please watch and tell me the proper way to respond to a situation like this.

    Skunks playing in my front yard

    I had to go look up "nutria". They look like they wouldn't be too bad to have around, but I guess they are an invasive species.

    More skunk fun

    Found another video with skunks. These two look like they are having a lot of fun. Might make good pets if you didn't have a sense of smell!
