I'm smoking a brisket today. I'll be tied to the house all day during that adventure. I'll start tinkering around and see what I can get going. Thank you for your input. I'm glad to have you guys experience to make these decisions easy.

I installed codeproject yesterday and haven't went further than that. Need to find a guide to walk me through it.

If it is easier for less technical folks like myself and works well, it's worth it. If I gain nothing by purchasing it, then I would not be interested in Sentry.

Sentry isn't maintained any more?

Blue Iris has been amazing since installing. Not that I was expecting less. I want to move on to AI. All of my cams do not have it built in as some are older starlight cams from several years ago. So I'm considering the Project AI or paying for Sentry. I'm really nervous about setting it up. Is...

I may not have set that up correctly. I noticed that when I set things back to default and went back to zones for the time being.

First attempt wasn't successful. Will mess with it later again.

Thank you. I found it right after sending this. I'm trying to get it working.

Looking for the digital input box in Motion. I don't see it.

I'll try that tonight when I get home. That sounds easy.

I have 4 new cameras that likely have AI. And 4 older starlight cams from probably 6 years ago that don't. Does AI in the cam talk to BI?

Awesome! I have everything set for facial recognition. I would love to not get dog alerts and have the cam alert when it sees a human anywhere in the yard asap.

I have everything dialed in tight with varifocal cams. Does it have to be tight or wide?

I'm venturing into uncharted territory in BI. AI or DS wasn't around to my knowledge when I used BI at the old house. I'm using traditional zones and of course fighting the same things we always fight. Is this my next move? My backyard has 5 bassholes that wander the yard and I have to keep...

Awesome idea

It's not for that cam. Two cams in the front yard. Pitch black out there. I found another roll of cat6. Rerunning two and have poe for the IR light.

It was recommended that I fish an extra line or two. Lesson learned. Listen to the folks that know what they are doing. It will be the cleanest way to do it. May order some extra cable next month and run two new lines to that corner and have the power I need. I have an extra injector here that...

Yeah I need data and power. I thought it looked like too much.

I have a few of these left over from the old house. https://www.amazon.com/iCreatin-ethernet-Splitter-Adapter-Compliant/dp/B00SM196AE/?tag=ipctk-20 Will these power this IR light? It's the only power source I have in the vicinity. https://a.co/d/aiSMYv1

Wow what a difference. I ended up putting the new 4K Color on the continuous + triggered setting and everything really calmed down. I just made triggers touchy for now to evaluate if I am missing anything. Tweaked some settings per everyones suggestions and definitely noticeable with those...

Thanks! I am guessing I should get 10 days of recording on a 4tb purple drive with the current set up. Only the 4k recording continuous. Going to try and add a 10tb drive in the next couple months.

Andy recommended 264H for his cam so that's what I been using. With BI open I'm at 20% cpu and 33% ram. Closed I'm at 8% cpu. It ran fine at 20fps then was looking at some triggers from this evening and it got wonky on me. Restarted that cam and backed out of BI and running fine again. I have...

Everything has been running smoothly the rest of the day. For some reason my new 4k color cam doesn't like 20 fps. Cpu usage, memory, etc is all low. If I run that cam at 20 fps it occasionally starts dropping frames and I get the error signal on it. All settings are all recommended by the cam...

I turned the windows anti virus off a few days ago. I'm doing a lot of reading.

I setup continous + triggered. I actually think I like it. About a second to two lag switch to mainstream. Granted I'm coming out my door and already in a ID range where if I was coming from the yard towards the house it would be recording much sooner from mainstream. Any tweaks you recommend to...

I deleted all my old files being I've scrubbed over them heavily and not losing anything. I want to see how much space I have saved daily. Of course triggers will impact that more or less. Question.. Are there any settings that you tweak to recording length, etc, to make sure it continues to...

So I went in and setup several of my cameras with substreams and continuous+triggered. I dropped from 20+ percent to 9%. I will tinker more in the morning. Thank you guys for the help. Really appreciate it!

I think I understand. You said what I thought I said. Watching Yellowstone with the Misses. Probably crack this all open tomorrow morning to play with. I may set the 4k color cam to record continuous then continuous+triggered for the rest.

I thought I was starting to understand. Then I am lost again.

So you are saying that recording continuous with substream at 1080 then kicking to mainstream when triggered? That way if you miss a trigger you still have something of decent quality?
