Test trigger will send an SMS to my cell. Motion does not send an SMS when triggered. 'Trigger now' in Camera settings will initiate a red frame but not send an SMS. I need a few hints.

Thanks SY The pause was it, never knew about it before.

I got a replacement ATT access box. BI5 only updates the 9 camera images when BI is started and never again until until BI is shut down and restarted. If a camera is restarted that image is gone forever, its color bars only. All cameras are connected POE Ethernet and in two different buildings...

That's it F, you get a gold star. I didn't have cam5 in the group (was blank) with all the other cameras. Thank you.

Delete camera, shut down BI, restart BI, add cam back as cam5, shut down, restart------still only shows 8 cams.

I wish it was that easy. I am familiar with that behavior and check for it.

Hi F I recognize that Pbimmer resolved his cockpit problem, I was just thread hijacking. No cams are hidden and all are setup almost identical. Ui2 has no issues and shows all nine cams. I need a way to force BI to display all cams.

Your not the only one! For the life of me I can't get all nine cameras to show up in the BI4 console, only eight. All show up in the camera tab in status and there nine in the UI2 viewer. theye are in the system but no way on the console. Also "layout" doesn't seem to day anything useful.

maybe user name and password??

Hi Ada That's the right one, e120. With the latest BI revisions there are no operational negative issues. The only negative is the $179! There is one testing issue that I wish wasn't there. The e120 cannot connect to two hosts at the same time. This is only an issue when testing. You cannot use...

Can't see it so can't say for sure, but could it be the IR cut filter that is moved into place during daylight and moved away when the IR leds are turned on?

Nothing is hidden that I know of. Just bingo went to 4 then to two. How do you drag to desktop.

I have 9 cameras, but the frame only shows two. It used to show all 9 but something changed. In the past I reinstalled the missing cameras to get them all back. All cameras show on the status page and all cameras show just fine in U12and are arranged properly. What's the magic key sequence to...

Hi HD Too soon to panic. You probably have BI looking at e100 " contacts" that are active in the default state. Remember that BI doesn't like a trigger input that lasts indefinitely long. At some point it will output an error code, only one per event. Use the SeaMax utility to figure it out...

Hello Group I've been working with the 120 POE for about a year now and have a few observations. Sealevel has several utilities for the PC and the iPhone that are very useful when working with the e120. SeaMAX for the PC and Mod+ for smartphones. Secondly BI4 has an issue when a trigger event is...

I'll throw a little cold water into this discussion.The Sealevel devices are optically isolated (no ohmic connection in to out) which is a good thing. In the case of a USB Sealevel the Sealevel device is connected to the PC USB port which is extremely fragile and subject to ESD. Typically The...

This is an interesting thread, very relevant to where I to am at. Can someone comment on the use of OpenHab on Win7. Eric

Hi Hotwire After a lot work on the part of support and myself (mostly bitching and refining my description of the problem) everything is working perfectly using the e120 POE. BI now does not crash due to anything that the Sealevel does. This is a good thing. Very helpful in debugging the system...

Hello Dereck If you go to my project file in the post above, IOT Box.pdf it may give you some feel for the BI commands. I didn't do the code only the hardware. Code was by Mattias, I just hacked it slightly to make it work for me. Search the archives on Arduino and on Digitial I/O, you will find...

Hello Ishaq I have been working with Support quite a bit and they have been responsive with updates but so far nothing that makes BI/e120 communication reliable for me. I have the e120 working as it should but not for very long periods, say 12 hours max. Then you get either a BI crash or the...

Not to worry! The conduits going outside are stuffed with stainless steel pot scrubbers just to keep visitors out. The cables going thru are 3/4 inch hard line with 1.5 OD connectors so you need it roomy. And no structural materials were penetrated in the making of this post. Eric

Hello Group My technique for running cables thru various surfaces most particularly including drywall utilizes short lengths of PVC conduit. Actually any plastic available at Home Depot will do. Choose a diameter twice what you think you will need. Get a hole saw for the OD of the tube and a...

Hello Fenderman Thanks for the pointer to the release notes. I have been wondering how users knew what was changing. My original post in this thread was looking for another user of DIO and sealevel. From my personal experience it never worked right as a trigger mechanism and sealevel disconnect...

Hello Fenderman Thank you for the news! I downloaded 4.5.1.0 x64 and indeed it plays nice with the e120 and does not freeze for several hours but in the end BI4 stops responding. The revised BI seems more stable but not perfect. Speaking to your experience, disconnect e120 and BI stops working...

Its not cabling as demonstrated by using the seamax utility to exercise the e120 or just restarting BI and everything will work for a while. Everything is very repeatable except how long BI will stay up after a restart. No, support does not have a e120 to test, I lent him mine for a month to...

Thanks for the reply FM. I have worked with support on this bug but so far only improvements in stability but no solution. I can't believe that I am the only BI user that has tried to use Digital I/O and am looking to communicate with a few successful users. I believe that the serial port option...

I would like to hear from anyone using the BI Digitial I/O feature. Most particularly the Sealevel SeaDAC device. My win 10 i7 system with 10 ONVIF generic cams runs perfectly and forever with no issues until "Open Sealevel SeaDAC device" is checked in BI Options. System will then run for a...

I have BI4.4.0.2 with 6 ONVIF cameras running on an I7. I want to trigger video recording using switch contacts feeding a Sealevel 120 POE. Switch contact closures causes the proper response on the SeaMax utility. When I go into the Digital I/O tab, check Open Sealevel SeaDAC device and click...

Hi People This calling home thing caught my eye. I have a bunch of 2 &4 Mp ONVIF generic cameras connected to BI4 which is not presently configured for web access. Its a dedicated PC so no other use than BI but it does share my network, all wire with no wifi. I am not particularly paranoid and...
