I'm using CodeProject LPR and I'm having some issues reliably capturing plates. The illustration below shows what I think is the problem. Here's an analysis of one of the AI DAT files: The car moves from right to left; as you can see, at T=0msec, the bumper of the car is just barely in frame...

Does anyone know what type of fitting fits the junction box that comes with the IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X? The hole appears to me 24mm, so it doesn't look like a 1/2 or 3/4" conduit male adapter is going to work.

My Andy-branded IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X arrived yesterday from Amazon so I hooked it up and did some of the initial setup. Here is my first impressions: 1. The UX on this model is FAR better than on my older 2mp starlights. Although video works just fine on Chrome, one gripe I have is that the camera...

Curious what everyone does with the plate numbers they ALPR? I'm thinking of writing a small app to track plates read, time/date and a link back to the BI clip. I feel like it would be pretty easy to recognize new plates or abnormal traffic patterns. I haven't seen anything out there that...

I activated ONVIF on a camera for the first time yesterday; it works great so far. I see the camera reported events marked as "external" triggers in my main alert list (which does seem to be configurable). I noticed in the BI app that there is an option to filter to show only "ONVIF Events"...

Here is how I have my LPR camera set up right now temporarily. I'm not super happy with how the possible locations are shaking out for this. I would like to move it more toward the street; ideally down behind the mailbox, but there is a power transformer vault and two utility boxes there and...

First I'll caveat this with: Does Andy make great inexpensive junction boxes? Yes, yes he does. However, I figured why not spend 4x the effort and 3d print my own! I still need to 3d print the TPU gasket for between the top and bottom part, and a gland for the cables behind the camera. The...

The picture says it all; I just noticed that BI is no longer recording continually. I've got loads of little 2-3 minute 90MB clips with gaps between them. Any ideas what's going on here?

I've got a number of cameras set around my house; they are mainly the venerable Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z. My placement philosophy has always been to position them so that they get a clear right view of people who come ON to my property. So tight views around windows, the side gate, the car, people...

I've got BI all dialed in with zone A alerts (areas near to house) getting ai confirmation. In short... It's amazing. In the BI mobile app I can show only confirmed alerts and see the very few important alerts. I did, however, configure zone B motion alerts for the cameras that have some...

So, yesterday BI started acting up. All my cameras were going offline at random. When I went to check what was up, I noticed BI had an update pending to 5.3.3.13, so I installed it. At that point BI would run and then I've get a dialog indicating that the BI service had stopped. At this...

I just swapped from an old i5 machine to an i7-6700k machine with a Gforce 1080 video card. I wanted to beef up the hardware for my 12 camera system so I can add some AI goodness. The BlueIris export/import ability literally made this a 5 minute process. Disabled the license on the old...

I'm having TERRIBLE troubles with memory leaks due to the Intel drivers. My BI system is down to 1-2 days uptime before the system memory consumption goes to 100% and the machine locks up (its not BI's process; its completely unattributable to any process, so I assume its the intel drivers)...

I recently bought an IPC-HDW5231R-ZE from Amazon; I presume its sold by Andy as its from the EmpireTech store. Was I surprised when I navigated to the camera's IP from Chrome on my phone and the previews and everything work! Guess the firmware has been updated on these cameras! In any case...

I caught a strange one the other week; a car pulled up front and a guy stumbled out the passenger side. He bent over and smacked something against the curb at all of the seams. Turns out he was trying to open his beer by hitting it on the concrete seams, which he eventually succeeded at and...

After ~1 week of uptime, my windows 10 system has started running out of memory. It doesn't look like Blue Iris is the culprit as its memory footprint stays relatively stable at 3.5GB of use. In fact Windows Task Manager just shows a red box around the memory column, and although Blue Iris is...

I've got a Core i5-4690K @ 3.5Ghz, 16 GB ram, 250GB SSD startup drive, 4TB WD purple primary recording drive. I'm running 13 cameras (2 old wifi samsungs, 10 Dahua 2mp starlights, 1 old hikvision). I recently bumped all the Starlights up to 8192k max bitrate. Windows reports ~50-75 Mbps...

Is there a trick to exporting a triggered event when my cameras record 24/7? The export/convert option is disable when I right click on an alert in the alert list. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

We had a pack of 3 cyclists casing the neighborhood and stealing packages the other night. My camera setup is generally focused on catching intrusion on to my property and attempts to enter my house. One of my cameras has an ir illuminator that lights up to the sidewalk pretty well. In...

When reviewing the list of alerts, is there a way to filter by motion zone? I have configured "near" and "far" motion zones on most of my cameras. The "near" ones are the ones I really care about; eg someone walking on my lawn. Where the "far" ones are just for car counting and to make it...

The other night the z-wave door sensor I installed on my mailbox detected an opening at 2:09am. Reviewing the camera footage, I discovered the following. First, a UHaul van drives up and down the street a few times and parks. Then a team (you can see one guy on my side of the street, and another...

A few weeks ago, my system caught what I think was a transformer explosion. The video doesn't show much, but you can clearly hear it here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dovEnDWxqxaYcsTj2 One of the IR cameras captured the flash quite well though; you can see how the street went from dimly lit to...

My Dahua mini dome caught this dude checking for hidden keys. He didn't realize there was a camera and stupidly looked up right at it. Haha https://photos.app.goo.gl/w9tNPUnT5XkL0Cp52 Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Hey all, I'm working on developing an integration between my Abode security system and Blue Iris. Abode does support reporting alarms via IFTT APIs. This could be used to send a web request to my Blue Iris machine to trigger some action. I'm not a big fan of relying on cloud APIs for...

Has anyone connected to a Dahua NVR via RS232 console? I set my Serial port settings on my pc to match what the NVR says, but I see no console-like stuff streaming to my pc.

Just wanted to let everyone know how my setup went. I'm running: Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3 LGA 1150 Z97 Gaming Audio and Networking ATX Motherboard 16 GB RAM SSD startup disk Windows 10 I'll be moving one of the 4TB WD Purple drives from my Dahua...

How does one record 24/7, as well as mark motion events? Under the "Record" tab for my camera I have "Video" checked, and the "Triggered + continuous each" option selected. The "Clips" in the timeline seem to indicate that that the length is "continuous", but when I try scrubbing through it...

Just a warning to all who might need a different junction box for your Dahua cameras. DO NOT waste your time ordering them locally. If you don't order them from Andy when you get your cameras, then just order from from another seller on Ali who ships using the 21 day ePacket. I bought an...

Occasionally I see my Dahua NVR rebooting at odd times. I have it scheduled for "maintenance" at 2:00am on Tuesdays. Today it rebooted at 4:26 as well. Time:2017-03-28 16:26:49 Type:Shutdown Contents: Shutdown Time: 17-03-28 16:23:06 Time:2017-03-28 16:26:49 Type:Boot up Contents: Reboot...

So, I made a STUPID mistake installing the two cameras that cover the doors/windows overlooking my patio. The picture attached shows the situation. The two walls with windows/doors form a corner. It is about a 20ft x 20ft area. I mounted a camera to the side of each door, zoomed in to...
