    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    no one has any knowledge of this (below) ? Just trying to figure this out! @steve1225 @Wildcat @wittaj ???? This seems to be working, though it will take a while to see if it is really learning anything. One question remains: When I first tried it, when I selected a clip in the Experience...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    Damn, so it is! I missed that, and it wasn't needed with BI.. so... Many thanks, now working, I will begin trying to work the experience database now:) Much appreciated, you and Steve!

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    I normally record OnVif to BI. I was able to record "general" full time to the sd card, but I still can't figure out where to tell the Web Setup to record events to the sd card... they aren't showing up... . I dont see any destination setting in the IVS portion...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    ok, will try that! No way to do both? ah, ok then, that seems to be the source of my issues now. I'll reconfigure it and test. I was thinking a full res full time record on cards that recycled itself would be handy, in addition to the continuous sub plus alerts I use now on BI. Continuous...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    hmmm.. might be getting closer: If I search in record: search video, they all show when using "all" or General". But if I select tripwire or intrusion (the two zones I have set up in IVS), I get nothing. So I guess my IVS is set to send to Onvif but not going to the sd card? (set for General...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    Yes, I think I am doing that! The clips show (as local storage) in the record: search.... I THINK they are on the sd card tho I see no sure way to confirm that, other than it says "local storage" and the sd card free space drops accordingly. They clips just dont show in the experience database...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    Steve: The events show in the Record: Search just fine. But nothing shows in the Ai/IVS/Global/ Experience Database/Details/import videos/search. Following Andy's video, that's where I need to select a clip to learn?... And I see no way in the main record/search part, where the clips do show...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    Thanks Steve, I don't have an NVR (just blue Iris)... IVS is set up to send to BI thru OnVif. So My web setup doesn't show AI-View Events-IVS level... Ai just goes to rule config and global, which are both set up (i think.. below... they work with BI), I just don't seem to be populating the...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    I'm trying to set up the Experience Database in my 5442 s3 cams (with the 12/24 firmware) to do the self learning to filter animals better. I installed an SD card to the cams, and following Andy's video, I can see the clips in the Record/ search video tab in the web setup. (time plan set...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 Motion Detection via IVS not working properly

    I think you might be confusing the box size and boundaries. The Min box square just defines the trigger size. Anything smaller than the box won't trigger (in theory). It doesn't matter where that box is when you draw it, just how big. The boundaries for tripwires or intrusion are another...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 Motion Detection via IVS not working properly

    Thanks Wittaj, I do set Min to avoid squirrels, just trigger on deer. But that isn't reliable... subject size varies with distance, so a large min size might be appropriate close to cam, but too big further away. I'll try 0,0 and see how that works. Yorkman, the min size box is just to the...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 Motion Detection via IVS not working properly

    Wittaj: Why min size of 0,0? Wouldn't that give more triggers (of small animals) than a larger min size?

    I need help with the IPC-Color4K-T180

    Well, probably! I also had tried many things, mostly regarding the ethernet cable, with no change till I read this thread: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ipc-color4k-t180-intermittent-no-signal-in-bi.72212/page-3 That one setting allowed me to go from dozens or more connection errors a day to...

    I had the same issue with that same cam, solved by checking "on" the "Decoder Compatibility Mode" in BI video settings

    Blue Iris OS Options

    I did the TPM update, then the RUFUS. All worked great, and windows 11 updated also. So all good, thanks!

    Blue Iris OS Options

    Just asking...is there any benefit to updating to TPM2.0 (using the Dell utility on a i7-6700 system) on an otherwise ineligible win 10 system before (or after) using RUFUS to go to Win11?

    Blue Iris OS Options

    I have an Optiplex 7040 SFF also, but it has an i7-6700 which the Dell support page says will not allow Win11 even if you do the TPM2.0 update offered. Did you have a more recent processor? (it says: "Note: Computers that shipped with Intel 6th and 7th Generation processors (i7-7xxx, i5-7xxx...

    Seeing IVS triggers on past events in BI?

    I'm guessing the answer is no, but I can't remember if there is a way to see the triggers (blinking green lines) for an alert of IVS in a dahua 5442 in the past? I guess you can see it live in the web view, and maybe if recorded to an SD card (and maybe on an NVR), but can you see them for...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    Oh! That's not what I expected! (and a major pain to do... not accessible, no extra appropriate cards...) So much for that idea... thanks!

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    I'm trying to set up the new feature in the 5542 firmware (experience database), and following Andy's ( @EMPIRETECANDY ) video, I get to the part where it asks me to Import Videos / Search but have no videos there even after an alert (I record to BI). What do I have to enable to get those...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    That sounds great... continue to alert on the deer, but ignore the racoon or opossum. (without trying to set minimum size, which is hard since it's relative to distance). A big deal (if I can figure it out!)

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    @EMPIRETECANDY does the new self learning firmware for the 5xxx s3 cams still have "animal" as an option to alert? (I assume so if the cat triggered it)

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    If the cameras are connected to the POE switch, and that POE switch to your network, that's not ideal since all the camera traffic flows through your main network. Best if the cams, connected to a POE switch, then go to a NIC, not to your main network. Keep them separate. (if I understood you...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    While your map will work, this is better... add a second NIC (network card, can be cheap $15 card) to the PC running BI. The cameras get connected to that, and not to the internet. The original network card in the same PC gets the internet from your router or network switch.

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    I use a Shelly smart switch on a lamp, and it can be alerted easily in Blue Iris. When the deer drop by, the lights go on. No need for Home assistant or anything, just the smart switch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096W3ZZDD?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 set up an alert as...

    Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here

    @EMPIRETECANDY Hey Andy, does the latest (Dec '24) firmware update for the 5442 S3 on your site still have animal detection? ( I think this is newer than the "animals" version we got a ways back?....) Any reason to update from that one?

    Cannot get ONVIF on new Dahua IPC-T54IR-AS to work with BI........need advice on what I may be doing wrong

    My 4k-T won't trigger IVS in corridor mode with a similar view. I have another camera that looks at the same area, but with normal horizontal setup, and I have that camera triggering the 4k-t so I have alerts (and main stream video ) from it.
