I have had BI for about 2 years. All cams were wireless Wansview cameras (which I like and never had issues with). Running all 9 cams wireless, I had to drop resolution. I finally got around to hardwiring all the cams and now need to proceed to my next step. I am fairly new to Automation and...

Just an update. All my cameras were wireless. I wired in one camera and the reliability of all of them has increased tremendously.

Some added info... I have the BI service running as a local admin. I got the script to kick off, however..... In the watchdog tab, I can set the timeout period for 120 seconds and put to fire the script off after 2 timeouts. The script will fire in 120 seconds. The log never shows and increase...

It is very sporadic. I have some devices that crash immediately upon opening, repeat 4 times and it fires up....

Looks as if the video freezes without notification of connection loss. I switched to channel 2 of my cams, which is a much reduced bitrate and everything seems to be stable. I am still not sure why the web interface for the cams stay up and running at higher resolutions and BI craps out, but...

I am trying to run the watchdog in BI to do the following: after 5 timeouts (set to 60 seconds per timeout) - Restart camera after 10 timeouts - Reboot camera, if possible after 15 timeouts, execute script to reboot server. I have everything set up, what I believe to be correct, but upon...

Oh, and I turned on keep alives for the main instance of each camera, not all of them. I have duplicates (or triplicates) of each cam. The keep alives should only need to go to the main instance, this way I am not flooding the camera multiple times. That's my logic anyway.

Not quite sure... yet ;-). I believe the rtsp keep alives identify when loss of signal occurs. I had a few cams freeze (in BI only) and would have never known without the timestamp. I turned it back on to see what I get. In any event, rebooting my server resolves the issue 100% of the time. If...

I have attempted, on 12 android devices, to keep it running all night on my nightstand. I also have tablets mounted at each door entry for monitoring. In every case i have enabled dev options to keep from sleeping while charging. About 98% of the time, the app crashed to the desktop by morning...

Just wanted to post some information about an 18 month issue I've had which seems resolved. I have 9 Wansview cams, 3 models, the k1, q1 ptz, and outdoor (k3 i think). I know some have do not like them, but they have great quality and reliability for the price. i have them all wireless (again, i...

i most definitely concur

I think i know what you're getting at, but your engrish seems a little broken today! just re-read your response, takes some interpretation ;-)

Is there any way to set zones so two zones need to be active to trigger? For example I have a horizontal line at 2ft and 5ft., when someone walks it triggers, but light or shadows on only one zone does not trigger it. It seems if i put AB either zone triggers. If I put "A+B", it behaves like...

To add, it appears as if it is now overwriting older files when it gets to that 30gb threshold. However, it is writing to a 1tb drive.

My install of BI was recording to the system drive, which I only had 30gb of the SSD available. The bottom of the console would read, for example, clips: 4,000 files 28gb/30gb. I added a secondary internal drive, routed the DB, log, clips, etc (everything in the C:\Blueiris folder to...

I am sure I am overlooking something simple. I can not get a cam to go to position 1 with profile 1 and position 2 with profile 2. I can get it to auto-patrol in either profile, but just not get a static position. Any idea what I am not seeing here? Thanks.

It's a laptop.

Would an external USB 3.0 drive suffice? I've been contemplating one, the 6tb ones seem to be a good deal.

I know there have been other threads regarding this, bit some went hostile and none had any results. I have, minimally, 8 android devices. They all freeze at some point when viewing "All Cams" and cycling. Has anything ever come of this issue? Is there a workaround (and no, not a non-BI...

I have a camera, named "Front Door", I created a clone named "Front Door 2" (yes original ;-)). When looking at the status window, front door show 0 kb/s and front door 2 shows 50kb/s. Is the clone now the primary camera for the stream? Should I set my watchdog reboot command on that camera and...

Reading the manual, continuous recording while having motion alerts enabled tags the timeline. What does triggered and continuous do that just continuous with motion triggers does not do?

Thanks for the replies, I did pick up a few pointers I'll need to configure. Fenderman, always appreciate your input, but taking another look at those wanscams may surprise you. Thier latest firmware release helped tremendously. 1080p, good infrared, audio, temperature and humidity sensors for...

Also, regarding Wanscam, the only issues I ghave had with them are the power supplies on the W1 outdoor cams. They sent me new power supplies and a free cam to compensate. Everytime I contact support, they have an answer within hours. Whether it be CGI commands or firmware upgrades. I need (rent...

They're Wansview, not Wanscam (however they may be the same, don't know). The are reliable for me and great video quality. The wi-fi range on them are pretty good also. When hardwired, I have not had an issue with them. Even wireless (after I figured out I had major interference on the channel I...

Yes, direct to disk, running one server (Laptop actually running win10 x64 corp) ( Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2694 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) ) with 32gb ram. One system runs fine with 10 sec trigger record buffer (runs around 40%). Camera are all...

The reason I want to use two systems is HDD space and processor availability. Yes, I am running 9 camera's, all on wi-fi with an Asus RT-AC87R router.

I am attempting two BI setups. The first (main) BI setup is for motion triggering/alarms and notifications (to app and email). The second setup uses the same camera feeds, but it for motion recording only (with a lower trigger threshold than system 1). I am trying to accomplish alarm triggering...

Thanks, both of you, found it in the Web UI of the camera itself.

I think I am just overlooking a setting, but how do I get my PTZ cameras to go to position 1 following a reboot?
