Hi everyone, I've been playing around with Sentry, and within the web portal I've come across a setting that I've been unable to identify: On the settings page where it lists all of my cameras, a column is labeled "Person Re-Detection" I've tried searching for an explanation of this setting...

That's excellent advice. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm going to take a look on social media and find a suitable place to post these videos for all to see. I'm sure they'll get quite a bit of attention. Someone in the area caught some crackheads using his hot tub in the middle of the night on...

Yep, and that's going to suit my needs just fine. It's awfully clumsy, but it'll suffice for the occasional times I'd like to have a closer look. Thanks!

I've got the function mapped to keyboard hotkeys, and works fine for live view. When trying it with recorded video, it zooms in on the live view thumbnail in the bottom right corner, and has no effect when the recording is full screen. I suppose I'll have to connect a mouse when I need to zoom...

Am I dumb, blind or both? Is it not possible to zoom in on recorded video within Blue Iris? -Jason

Looks like a hell of a party!! Sounds like you witnessed this live? Did you consider calling the cops to report the guy driving under the influence? He certainly has his head down quite a bit. If I had to guess, he's probably rolling some joints. It doesn't really appear to me that he's...

My feelings exactly! It's a shame really. We can't really blame the police for simply not having time to investigate every little complaint when they have much bigger issues on their plate these days. I read a local article this morning saying that unemployment in my town is surging, and I'm...

Yes, they have the barrel connector. I hadn't considered that possibility. That will definitely simplify the install. Thanks! -Jason

So, I've mapped Zoom in to "I" and Zoom out to "O". It's working great for live view, however doesn't do anything for recorded video. The grayed out "Zoom out" remains within the right-click menu of recorded video which is indicative of the possibility. I've tried both "Digitally Zoom In" and...

Brilliant! Thanks! I've got multi-touch gestures disabled since I seem to always fat-finger it and unintentionally all kinds of things happen! -Jason

I'm actually a little embarrassed to be asking this, but I cannot for the life of me find a way to zoom in on a video without using a mouse wheel. When right clicking on a video, I see "Zoom Out", which is rightfully grayed out but no zoom in? I've googled it but came up with nothing. Surely...

And while we're at it... I dug up another one. I don't need to hear about the awful IR glare, that issue has since been fixed. Also the ghosting (if that's the proper term) is horrible. I've learned a lot since I first installed the cameras that's for sure!! -Jason

The police weren't interested in receiving a copy. They explained that even if the perp broke in somewhere nearby, the video is worthless as it doesn't prove anything. I'm using 4 Hikvision DS-2CD2135F-IS (gray market) POE cameras. There is another one located on the other side of the vehicle...

Among the things I'd never know without home security cameras... This has happened a number of times... The first time of which I reported it to the police. They asked if anything was stolen, (which there wasn't) and they truly didn't seem to care. -Jason

Well I've certainly made an improvement. Thanks for the input guys, although I really should have known better. Hopefully this information proves useful for someone in the future. As for the suggestion regarding the external IR, I'm definitely going to look into that. Getting power to these...

I painted a piece of cardboard and fastened it above the camera. I'm going to see tonight whether or not it brings the issue to a tolerable level. If so, I'll paint the under-hanging fascia board black, and call it a day. If not, I'll have to devise a way to bring the camera down lower. I...

Hmmm.. I suppose it has to be that. Just found it strange that I never had the problem before. Is there something I can coat the upper surface with to eliminate IR reflection? My other option might be to rig something up so that the camera sits lower on the soffit, increasing the distance from...

Hi Everyone! I'm a long time reader, first time poster and I've encountered an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I'm running Blue Iris on an i5 4460 with 6gb RAM with 4 Hikvision DS-2CD2135F-IS (gray market) POE cameras...
