    reject the evidence of your eyes

    “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984 I feel that I'm reasonably observant. I've lived out here in the country for 28 years now. This morning was a prime example of what has intensified over...

    YouTube streaming

    I got all the info I need here to easily set up a camera stream to YouTube from BI. My question is, is there any way to stream a group to YouTube directly from BI like can be done with a single camera?

    Yum! Froglegs!!

    These guys are usually part of my cleanup in the spring. Not this one, eh? The possum must have chipped it out of the slightly frozen pond.

    Find the cat :)

    Living out in the country, we've always had this issue with city people thinking that this is the perfect spot to dump their cats. It was really bad about 15 years ago, but the last few years we were really lucky (as were cats). This year, someone dumped a cat just as the weather was turning. It...

    5.8.0.4

    Both issues that were noted in 5.8.0.3 were corrected by Ken. Still looking, but thus far, this one is looking good.

    5.8.0.3

    Ken was kind enough to implement some PTZ shutter speed changes that I'd asked for, so if you've automated the shutter speed changes in a schedule like I do, be aware as a couple of your settings may have changed... Old : "1/6", "1/12", "1/30", "1/60", "1/120", "1/175", "1/200", "1/250"...

    POE powered switch

    Anyone ever tried one of these? I tried a cheap one and it lasted a whole 2 days (INSIDE testing it) before completely dying. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1B9444K There's a more expensive one that will do 60w in and 30w max a channel that I might try next, but if others are having similar...

    Shutter speeds/Hikvision

    This is a two part question: 1. Blue Iris has a lot of presets for PTZ shutter speeds but I'm looking for two more, 1/90 or 1/75 and 1/150. Is there a way to add that to the presets so that I can access them that way? 2. Not knowing how Hikvision actually sets shutter speed, is it doing it via...

    LPRs

    To all you guys using a cam as a LPR... I'm betting none of you live back on a dirt road, eh? My second oldest cam is on the tree very near the street and it's finally giving up the ghost,, so... I've been up there a few times as I'm checking which of my cams I might put up there until I get a...

    ANNKE AC800

    I don't see anything on this particular model here, so... anyone have any experience (or know what OEM model it corresponds to?)? I'm asking because I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this one because of price and 1/1.8" sensor.

    Checking the sensor size?

    Ok, so the last IP cams I got are sold by a number of vendors with a 2.8mm lens and a 1/2.5 sensor which state that they are good to light as low as 0.005 lux. I found a similar cam but with specs that say it's a 2.8mm lens and a 1/2 sensor and good to light as low as 0.0005 lux. I have my...

    Paxvigo EBF810

    I told myself I wouldn't post on a non-brand name cam again, but... here goes... I found this on Slickdeals a couple of weeks ago and the discount code still works (the code is J17VMEB5ZXB9) (I bought two on two seperate orders as the code only works for one per order). My understanding is that...

    PTZ preview

    Seems simple, but... Have I been missing out all this time because I'm just not finding the setting? In UI3, while viewing a particular camera, when I hover over a Preset, I get a little popup window with a preview of where that preset actually views. Does BI do that with it's main console and...

    So, the Sheriffs came for a visit today

    The sheriffs just left. We actually had a crime committed around here yesterday. A holiday break in about a half mile away and the guy stole a pickup as well. Their neighbors saw a guy wearing a backpack walking down that street shortly before the people's silent alarm went off (no cameras...

    Weasel

    Spring is in the air and the weasels are back. They love what I hate. Three kills in one night. Excellent. My bad for having the shutter set to auto. I snapshotted the best frame I could find and put it at the start of the video. I'll be going with 1/1000sec as a start and we'll see from there.

    Can't find it... BI changes cam's IP...

    I hate it when I can't find something that is probably staring me in the face, but here I am... Some time in the not too terribly distant past, Ken added a feature where BI will change the IP of a cam in the Network IP camera configuration in BI if it feels that the IP has changed. It gave me a...
