    Call Station CAN run on Windows 10!

    After 5 years of searching for a solution, there was one just posted last month that works. Pays to be as obsessive as my old beagle. For those of you who did not throw out your Call Station, the fix is two simple registry entries as noted in this thread. I did have to use Putty to turn on...

    Installer List?

    Then again, he serves Flagler County Fl. and I am Baltimore. Not interested in paying airfare.

    Installer List?

    Thank you both. It has to do with false positives (especially object detection across zones) and getting push alerts and vid with texts (Verizon via xfinity). How to most effectievely use camera groups (or not with 6 cams). Two outside, one license plate. Rest are inside. Just wanna be able...

    Installer List?

    Looks like he is in Florida??? I am in Baltimore. Any others closer? I thought about contacting Ken about installers but I wanted to check here before I bother him.

    Installer List?

    OK. It is clear to me that this program has gotten beyond my ability/willingness to keep up. I've had the server running 6 cameras for at least 5 years so it is initially installed. Is there a list of trusted installers for me to contact about doing the last 10% (reliable alerts mainly)...

    May be obvious to others, but just in case

    Ok. I figured out (maybe???) the new Alert Trigger Profiles. Multiple Alert/Trigger profiles per camera, press the button in the Trigger/Alert profile to match the Schedule profile it is used for. Then, to test, you must be in the Schedule Profile for the Alert/trigger profile you want to...

    Cannot get email,text or push alerts

    OK. I was trying to test an alert while it's active profile button (1-7) ("On Trigger" page) did not match the Profile selected on the drop-down on the Alerts page. In other words, on the " On Trigger" page for each of my 3 Alert Profiles (Home,Sleep, Vacant) I had several Trigger Profiles...

    Cannot get email,text or push alerts

    Thanks. I have alert profiles for each camera. I am doing the testing from the "On Trigger" profile pages using the test buttons. The on property sounds work perfectly. It is just not sending out mobile notifications. Huh. Just created a new camera with new alert profile. Email worked...

    Cannot get email,text or push alerts

    I have used BI for a number of years with no problems. I upgraded to BI 5.0 and I feel like a newbie. Before I do a clean install, can anyone figure out what I am missing? Can access from BI from phone no problem Firewall allows BI.exe and BI service email server set to mail1@gmail.com w/...

    Save to NAS fails in BI as Service

    Thanks. Was going to try 192.168.x.xxx/Blue Iris and saw it somehow resolved. Maybe it took a reboot to reset the accounts info. But it does work using the drop down value /Diskstation/Blue Iris/New Clips. For clarification, I never did use a mapped drive. But it works and i am no longer...

    Save to NAS fails in BI as Service

    Ok. If I run BI 5.0 as a program, I can access my NAS normally for clip storage. If I run it as a service, I get an over allocation notice and no recording even though I set the storage locations from the drop down. Created a local account on the DVR which has identical credentials to the NAS...

    Questions about harnessing power of BI 5.0

    I installed from 4.0 yesterday and I read the PDF. A lot more powerful choices. Long way in 5 years. I get the alert actions are tagged to profiles. Are the camera zones also tagged to the individual profiles? For example, I have profiles for occupied, sleep and vacant. I understand I have...

    Trigger across cameras

    Has anyone found a way to set a trigger such that if camera 1 triggers, and within 15 seconds camera 2 triggers, then an alert would be sent? Regards, Dewey

    Figured out how to make BI UI3 default to "0"

    Just in case others want UI3 to remain open: Edited the java script to set the default UI3 timeout to zero. Just have to save a copy to replace the versions that get included with updates. Maybe I am the only one, but it seems to me this should be the default setting. Regards, Dewey

    BUI3 Settings (time out) I know I read this somewhere

    I searched on UIs and settings to no avail. And the Sticky is over 50 pages. There was a way to get the timeout setting to stick at "Never". Mine reverts to "10" after new boots. Can someone please remind how to fix this? Thanks, Regards, Dewey

    New COmputer (Bac News Good News)

    OK. Apparently, the hot sun (counting cars) finished off my 5 year old intel I7. So, no more of those CPUs; nothing fits the old MoBo. But new Ryzen and MSI Mobo. Then, of course, the old RAM does not work. Ok. Get that too. Set up everything. Windows Blue Screens. Call MSI. "Oh...

    Mass convert of BVR files

    We had to document the use of an entrance for about 36 hours; both Highway traffic and about 500 cars using the entrance. You can imagine the number of files. Is there a way to mass convert the BVRs to a mainstream format? BI ROCKS!! Thanks.

    Some things I cannot find in help

    Thanks BP. I have two cameras on different portions of my driveway. It would limit false triggers if there was a way to have camera two send the alert if camera 1 was previously triggered at some interval before Camera 2 was triggered. Does not need to be object based. Thanks.

    Some things I cannot find in help

    BI4.6.5.3 On the camera motion config pages. Under config motion detection, on the page where you set zones, there is a slider in the area fr brush/rectangle. What does this do? On the page above that there is a check box "move camera groups"? What does that do? Finally, is there a way to...

    Camera placement strategy for alerts

    This is an important issue. My needs may not relate to yours. But here is my strategy and thinking. I have a service shop in my house. I need good coverage. I also have local customers who visit. OK. I have one camera covering a use in common drive. Unique reason (bad neighbor), but I...

    Advice on USA camera from non authorized Amazon third party?

    In my post "Hikvision Plays Unfair Games" I concluded with the response from Hikvision about "WR". While the first guy replied with snarky ignorance, the people at CSR sent me a reply that my WR camera IS supported. Purchased from B&HP in NYC. BTW, you need to contact Hik CSR to ask if a...

    Hikvision plays an unfair game

    Ok. I just got an email reply from Hik CSR. Product marked for WR is serviced by HikUSA. First guy did not have clue what he ws doing. They do not even look at the spreadsheets attached to emails with the export data from SAPD. But the story about gray holds.

    After 2 years, connect but no stream

    I have a Hikvision outdoor bullet (WR as if that really matters) that after two years suddenly quit streaming. Can connect to the server, no stream there but I can do all the admin stuff. Wrote Hik and then I saw the sale a BHV and I bought one from them to CMA. Any ideas on what happened...
