    Server PC Windows 10 update yesterday broke server connection

    I also use it as my HTPC and for Plex. I have at times kept up with backing up my PCs but I have 3 desktops (HTPC/BI/Plex, my old Win 10 gaming/general purpose PC, and a new Win 11 gaming PC) plus a couple of laptops. Managing backups with all that would be a full time job, so I just generally...

    Server PC Windows 10 update yesterday broke server connection

    I still like to keep it up to date and I do have Windows updates set to manual so it doesn't take the system down when I am not here. The crazy thing is that this will probably happen again in a year or so and I'll be back here asking again. LOL. I don't mess with my BI much since it is...

    I found it. Back in business. Thanks, guys.

    Server PC Windows 10 update yesterday broke server connection

    That's it. I was just looking at firewall and network setting and the profile is set to public. I can't find where to switch it over though. Need to look some more.

    Server PC Windows 10 update yesterday broke server connection

    I just did a routine Windows update last night and my BI server is not visible to other devices either wired or wifi on the LAN or remotely on cell connection. I ran the server PC task manager and the BI service is indeed running properly. Then I started BI5 admin and everything looked good...

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    It appears this Open VPN conflict is just a Mac thing as I have zero issues on my Win 10 laptop. This is a relatively recent development on the MacBook Air, probably after the next to last OS update. In any case, it isn't a fatal error now that I know all I have to do is just click the VPN...

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    So, after awhile with OVPN off the browsers lost their ability to connect to the BI ip address again. LOL. I cycled OVPN on and then off and they are connecting again. But for how long? How bizarre.

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    OK, I think I have the answer... I am running Open VPN so I don't need to open a port on my router for BI remote access and I generally leave that connected as I come and go. I am home now and turned that off and I can now connect to UI3 at the local ip on both browsers. Not sure I understand...

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    Now UI3 is unreachable on both browsers again. LOL. I went into the settings as above but when I get to step 3 I don't see anything to change that would fix this issue.

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    Never mind, guys, I did another restart and now both browsers connect just fine. Which is amazing because Edge hasn't been able to connect for months. I had to use Chrome and after the last update this afternoon that had stopped working, too.... until I restarted the MacBook again and now they...

    Browsers won't connect to my BI UI3 ip address while I am home

    M2 MacBook Air... After recent OS and browser updates I am unable to view my BI UI3 on Chrome or Edge only while at home when I am connected to my local network. Both return the error that the ip address is unreachable. I have zero problem when mobile connected to the Internet via someone...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    I also took your suggestion to create a couple of profiles, one each to turn off alerts for each exterior cam when I need to be out there working... or if they start firing off excessive alerts. Easy peasy. The other thing I learnt in this exercise is that remote desktop is good at home, too...

    Is there a way to have ONLY IVS detection, not general full frame motion detection?

    Ah, I saw that but wasn't sure. I turned motion detection off but then it popped up a message that it had to be on for SMD and I thought IVS was a subset of SMD. Silly me.

    Is there a way to have ONLY IVS detection, not general full frame motion detection?

    I don't have the exact model # at hand but it is a 3MP turret Dahua from 2020 that I got from EmpireTech. The cam works great but I have struggled over the years with this challenging scene. Daytime there are high contrast shadows that migrate across the deck depending on sun angle. Critters...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    Hey, that did the trick! Alerts through BI now. I need to go back into the cam UI and turn off the e-mails. But it is truly strange because I had to use the password with the lower case letter to get back into the UI. Whereas the find/inspect said that was invalid and needed that letter to...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    I did actually find an issue and I don't totally understand it. The find/inspect dialog had a password invalid error, which is odd since the cam has been connected and streaming in BI forever. I checked the password and it had a case error in one character and this time the find/inspect did...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    Thatnks for the detailed setup info. It's too bad BI doesn't include a one button config button to make these settings for this, since it seems like a fairly common scenario. The cam IVS has already been set up for human detection over tripwires and is working fine via e-mail alerts. I also...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    The switch in the app merely turns the BI motion detector on or of, not "alerts" in general. If you change it there, it also changes it on the server. The strange thing is that there are separate switches in the app to turn object detection and zones/hotspots on or off and these stay on even...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    OK... so then if BI motion detect IS turned on you get both that and from the cam AI via onviv. That makes sense with what I am seeing. So, if I have all the BI motion services off and "get onviv alerts" checked in the server, BI will receive and pass those along. But then there seems to be...

    Cam AI & BI motion detection selection and interaction

    So, I am still having some trouble with one of my outdoor scenes, waving tree shadows and lights coming on and off in the windows throwing some false detects. I haven't yet had time to go back and try CPAI... one of these days. My questions: 1. If I want to use the camera AI via BI I would...

    Transferring BI to a new PC - deactivate old installation first?

    I also tried "limit decoding unless required" for all cams and that pushed my CPU even lower. But that seemed to mess up the alerts to where they were missing key frames or sequences. So I turned that back on for the 2 exterior cams where that is important. No stability issues so far using...

    Transferring BI to a new PC - deactivate old installation first?

    Well, I may have been premature thinking I needed a new PC for my BI setup, which is 6 cams, 2 and 3 MP each running 24/7 recording with interior and exterior motion detection depending on schedule and geofence. The existing PC, 6th gen Intel i7-6700 quad core, had been running at 90%+ CPU...

    BI object detection

    That is what I was asking... so if "get onviv trigger events" is checked it routes the cam's native alerts through BI? And would just turning off the motion detector and object detection in the phone app's cam settings stop those from coming through?

    BI object detection

    Yeah, I have a VPN running and can remote desktop into the cam's UI. But that is a real PITA as compared to just turning off alerts for a cam in the BI app. What is interesting is that I am running the same BI settings for these cams that I used before, and I got zero false alerts from the...

    Transferring BI to a new PC - deactivate old installation first?

    I have some new hardware coming to update my old overburdened PC and will need to move my BI over to it. Do I have to deactivate the old installation first? I have all my license keys and such.

    BI object detection

    So, while CPAI is sort of in limbo I have been getting my BI installation back in working order just using the native BI tools. In the past I haven't had great luck with the challenging scenes presented by my two outdoor cams even using zones, rules and object detection. The front cam did OK...

    Trying to download Codeproject ai server win x64 2.6 5 help!

    Yeah, today the new download pages have no content just a message that says that Codeproject is being upgraded. Go figure this happens just when I decide to play with it. LOL. In any case I have ordered some hardware to upgrade my BI PC to the modern ages so it should have plenty of headroom...

    Trying to download Codeproject ai server win x64 2.6 5 help!

    I am having a similar issue today. After working other BI issues, I decided to try CPAI to hopefully get rid of some common false alerts. I had the install file for 2.6.5 that I had downloaded yesterday and did the install today for YOLO5.net and YOLO5.6.2 object detection. It seemed to...

    Long time BI user, many new problems

    So, I went into the registry editor and deleted all the Perspective software entries. I also deleted all the program folders and data and all the data folders. Reboot the PC, re-install BI, and it comes back exactly the same LOL. All my cams displayed with old settings, not asking for my...

    Long time BI user, many new problems

    This is officially driving me nuts. I uninstalled BI, deleted all the old files, and when I reinstalled it is like I had done nothing. All my cams are back without me having to do any setup or enter my registration key. Somehow the registry is not getting updated for the deletion. I need to...
