    Manual recording location

    If I initiate manual recording from within the mobile app it works just as expected and is added to the open combo clip. Hmm. Now after doing it through the mobile app, it will work on the console. Tried it a dozen different times, restarted pc, etc and no luck before. But do it once from...

    Manual recording location

    That is my understanding too. That's what puzzles me. The motion detection triggered recording work fine, and are added to the open clip combo. If I manually trigger a camera it records for the 10 seconds and it is added to the open combo clip. But selecting manual record appears to work, with...

    Manual recording location

    I have the manual recording time limit disabled on this system. I'm just puzzled as to where the clips are ending up, if it is actually recording when manual record is engaged. The clips did not get combined with other clips for that camera, nor did they show up alone in the new folder the way...

    Manual recording location

    I checked the combined clip files for that day and camera when it did not show up in new folder by itself, no luck. They are set at the default of cutting and combining every 8 hours.

    Manual recording location

    So I happened to be watching my cameras when an altercation began in frame but not in a motion detection zone. I clicked "start manual video recording" but have been unable to locate the video clip. I tried it again, noting the C:/Blueiris/New/Cam1(date).bvr at the top of the camera bar while...

    Nosey neighbor cams

    His extending the camera mount down would not enhance the view of your property that I can see. The camera placement is pretty good to capture the deck and sliding patio doors. I'm betting the fov on that camera is 105-130 degrees so the right edge of his field of view would have his sliding...

    Nosey neighbor cams

    I don't think IR would disable his view in daylight hours as the IR cut filter will be in place, though it would blast his night view if it didn't cause the camera to switch back to color. Are the offending cameras wifi? Are they clearly aimed to view just your property?

    "No signal" on a few Cams - but they work fine

    When the cameras android app connects and shows video (streaming not frozen image) and blue iris shows no signal, check the actual camera ip address (use nmap or fing or other lan scanner) vs the ip address that blue iris is configured to use for that camera. All ip cameras whether wired or...

    Even though the checklist says you can remove advanced options like object detection and zones I think they should be kept in place for various situations. For example if you live on a busy street and your camera view shows cars driving by, or you have tree shadows and live where windy days are...

    The lack of motion detector that was implemented a few updates back should work well for monitoring a turtle, or elderly parent, etc.

    Today is the first day in awhile that Sentry has worked all day. It has been working fine at night, but no response or timeout in daytime. Looks like engineering is right so far. Very pleased with how things are running. Thanks Sam & team for the hard work and communications. Here's to continued...

    Sighthound Video 6 Info....

    Looking around the sighthound website at all the AI development projects was fairly impressive. I downloaded the demo of sighthound video which I think was the pro version during trial period to throw an extra camera on for kicks. I kept looking for options and configurations but came to the...

    Blue Iris Chewing Through Bandwidth

    I just scanned through the user manual for your cams. Are you running them in standalone mode (no cloud), and did you change the passwords from default?

    Blue Iris Chewing Through Bandwidth

    If I'm understanding what you said correctly, your cameras are streaming when blue iris is not running? If you close blue iris (console if not running as a service, or terminate in task manager if running as service) then your cameras should not be streaming any data across the switch. It is...

    Test Run Video Through Motion Detection question

    The green rectangle indicates motion (or change in pixels) is being detected. The green rectangle becomes red when the size of that changing area exceeds the minimum object size. If this condition exists through the selected make time then the outer border of camera frame becomes red...

    My first thought watching this, is any guy dumb enough to have a girlfriend whose parents can't know is dumb enough to knock on the wrong window of the wrong house after cruising the neighborhood and parking in the driveway, with lights on wondering why his date hasn't come out yet.

    Blue Iris App on LTE (major lag)

    On a side note, since you are using port forwarding if you haven't already you should enable the firewall in blue iris server by adding approved ranges or specific ip's. They will still use login credentials but everything that is not those ranges will not be allowed to attempt login. With a...

    Blue Iris App on LTE (major lag)

    Same reason I switched to double nat for the customer, seems like at&t changed something in their router or the way they were handling traffic. I checked every setting before resorting to double nat which fixed the issue instantly and caused no ill effects for anything else on the network that I...

    Blue Iris App on LTE (major lag)

    Does not support a true bridge or passthrough mode. Dmz of your asus ip is the closest it offers. I ran into this recently at a customer site and found running the at&t as a normal router and port forwarding blue iris port to the asus address behind it, and port forwarding in the asus to the...

    Blue Iris App on LTE (major lag)

    Is that at&t router is bridge/passthrough mode or are you double NAT. If port forwarding is being used it has to daisy chain in the right order of addresses if that at&t router is doing any residual firewall activity.

    Blue Iris App on LTE (major lag)

    Just brainstorming, but what addresses are you using in your console webserver settings for lan and wan, and also in your bi phone app settings? (Not actual #'s)
