    Blue Iris v.5 first thought/impressions

    what facts? i said based on my experience. If im a doctor who does brain surgery all day, i'd suspect my views would be valued based on experience, and not on a scientific study, not at all the same. Do you need statistical data to feel confident this release is a hot mess? I feel like this...

    Blue Iris v.5 first thought/impressions

    Ahh, VMS - Video Management Software And the last time i looked (over a year ago) there werent a ton of options, in which I believe i narrowed it down to like 3 options and found blueiris to be the best option. Im certainly willing to listen to any suggestions you have. I do recall when I first...

    Blue Iris v.5 first thought/impressions

    I assume there is a heavy level of sarcasm here? To that end, there are a LOT of people that probably NEED money (regardless if its mine or not) and on top of that, i believe in paying people for their hard work. However, since i work in devops and have had some pretty decent experience in...

    Blue Iris v.5 first thought/impressions

    This is the first i've heard of it (got the ip cam talk notice about conversations, thats how i got here) I'd love to test out V5 but im certainly not going to give them money to try out the new product that sounds like its still in Beta stages. It sounds like all in all it was a fairly messy...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Im looking to do a temp/hum overlay but it will be from a indoor sensor that isnt pushed to WU. Im wondering if maybe it would be better to have it setup in the form of a script and a overlay template, packaged with a WU overlay script and template. That way if someone wanted a custom overlay...

    recorded feed hangs at certain times

    Having some issues with the timeline, image shows whats going on pretty well. The timestamp on the feed says 3:52 am, BI bar says its 6:15am If i scroll forward to/past the alert the time's pair up correctly, behind it, is the incorrect value. As i scroll around it would appear that the feed...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Makes sense, sounds good, thanks! :D

    Blue Iris UI3

    Server Status Display in the lower left should have the FPS color trigger set to 4 and not 5. Since the default 'all camera' view has a limit of 5 fps, it jumps between 5 and 6 fps, making that little bar go yellow/blue/yellow/blue... or set the default to 6fps for all display?

    Blue Iris UI3

    Loving the new UI! great work! Is there any way to do the one camera large, with the rest smaller wrapped around it sort of layout? Essentially, any plans to implement the layout slider like on the blue iris fat client?

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    well in that case, does UI3 have an auto update script? if not would you like any help with that? -update- was just reading the UI3 post and it looks like its getting pulled in to BI so their update will handle it... cool!

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I was looking to create an auto update script with powershell and I was wondering what method you used to check to see if an update was available?

    Camera Recommendation

    Sorry, few more details i should have added. I currently have 2 unbranded hikvision turret PTZ cameras and a Dahua mini wedge, all POE. Using BlueIris to manage all of them. I dont think those will cut it for either place unfortunately. For the garage since its not PTZ and not wide angle it...

    Camera Recommendation

    Hey guys, I hate to make a post like this, but you guys have been awesome about providing links to aliexpress unbranded cameras, and I dont understand the specs/details well enough to do that on my own. There are two camera's im looking for; Both camera's need the following features: -POE...

    Advanced Triggering

    for Android it was under settings and there was a dropdown called "hide cameras" which i changed to "hidden" and that seemed to do the trick. Could have sworn i looked before but maybe the option title was changed with a recent release. at any rate, thanks!

    Advanced Triggering

    lol yeah i actually already did the copy since the zone for walkway trigger is different than the record zones, and you are right, minimal impact from the clone, however it does do weird things with the UI2 and the phone app (weird as in hidden cam's still show up) actually i just posted on...

    Advanced Triggering

    well in that case couldnt i use a PIR (smartthings in play as well)? Also i do have the other camera pointing at the walkway so i could group them and make sure the walkway cam triggers (Based on a zone) before allowing the porch camera to trigger. I was actually considering using a zone on that...

    Advanced Triggering

    hmm i had considered something like that but it was more so to prevent a trigger from people leaving. I was considering having a zone near the door (bottom right) and the one i currently have. That being said, I think your idea gives me a finer trigger on the way in and will hopefully not...

    Advanced Triggering

    based off this conversation, here are my current settings, which have been working well so far, but its only been a day. Also the reason its so high is because of the garbage truck, which i'll be able to validate next tuesday when trash day rolls around again. Also For the Object Detection i...

    Advanced Triggering

    One more thing I'll add.. because we're a corner home, the headlights do some odd things at night causing triggers due to contrast changes. As you can see by the red box, it looks like the light reflecting off the column is the main issue there.The outline i showed above shouldn't have this...

    Advanced Triggering

    I currently have the zones removed because I had enabled the 'show object rectangles' so i could get a better idea of what was being captured where. The other thing i had previously tried that i maybe just didnt do well, was selecting a smaller zone between the hand railings like drawn. The...

    Advanced Triggering

    You can see that the camera is low giving it a more level view of what is behind the steps. The road goes right in front of the fence and trucks tend to trigger it when they go by. You can also see how the other camera has a great view of the walkway allowing me to zone out that section as the...

    Advanced Triggering

    Tried that. Because of the angle and the steps up to the door, it has a great view of the road. I've done what i can to really fine tune the zone and its a LOT better than it was, but still getting too many false positives, which is why im looking for a stronger method.

    Advanced Triggering

    I was wondering if there was a way to restrict triggers from one camera based on another. In this case there are two camera that are of importance. One is at my front door, designed to grab the face of anyone coming to the door, the problem is that it also has a view of the road behind it so i...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    I dont suppose you have a light weight version of this that would be ideal for embedding in other applications? Would love something like this only a tad lighter for my home automation system. Because the home automation system has its own nav etc embedding the page as is will probably eat up...

    Blue Iris Notifications not working on new phone

    I noticed with mine that it didnt always check new phones for notifications. If you go to the desktop interface, select the big gear at the top left and then go to the 'Mobile devices' tab, you'll see all the devices that have connected in via the app, and the checkbox on the left is for push...

    Light changes are causing too many triggers

    What would be "advanced" in regards to BI? Is there something I can do (plugin or what not) to enhance the motion detection features? Also I do have it record 24/7, I only have two alerts setups. The more important of the two, is the front door. I have a camera that will catch anyone coming up...

    Light changes are causing too many triggers

    Thats a sweet tip, and I should have specified that I've done that, and the help file is one of the best, however it doesnt really tell you how the settings interact, and to some extent it assumes I know what some of that stuff means. Also as I mentioned I seem to be making it worse rather than...

    Light changes are causing too many triggers

    So, I've screwed with it a bit, but i might only be making it worse. What is the best way to handle things like headlights or even my outside lights, which dont really shine directly in view of the camera... what i mean is, the whole area lights up and that triggers it, rather than the camera...

    Motion Zone for triggering script vs zone for triggering recording

    yeah i think this is only good for this limited configuration, if i try to add anything it will require me to do the clone. at least now i have two methods :) You are correct, i just verified with the status that its not pulling anything, very cool!

    Motion Zone for triggering script vs zone for triggering recording

    I actually found multiple zones. I think this will work without having to clone it (clone is a separate stream, lot of wasted resources) Camera Properties - Trigger - Motion sensor Configuration - Use Zones and Hot spot Edit - There is a zone selection on the top left, A is my alert zone and B...
