    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Yeah, I am experimenting with something similar, but using Node Red running on Home Assistant to trigger (based on MQTT messages from AITool) and process the still images flagged as either "car" or "truck". That way I can really tune the number of API calls to LPR based on time between clips and...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Dang! You are right. Clearly the code doesn't handle nulls for those fields. Thanks!

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I recently installed Chris's fork over my pre-existing AI Tools. Other than some minor config tweaks, it was a smooth process and everything works just fine. Except for one thing - MQTT. I've configured my cameras in AI Tools to send MQTT alerts except it seems there's an issue communicating...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Took the plunge (again) and this time things went very smoothly. Only real issues were re-adding my support key and changing the service creds (again) so that BI ran as a named user. Other than that, a much better experience this time round. But I won't be an early adopter for BI6, that's for...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Well, after performing what appeared to be a successful upgrade, things just went South from there. The first sign was an inability for UI3 to load a list of the cameras (a useful "fail" message with a suggestion to reload). While attempting to troubleshoot that through multiple reboots...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    According to the API document above (thanks!), there mode are transitions (day/night, colour/b&w, flash on/off) that are tied to a property they refer to as "brightness". I assume it's some representation or the cameras ambient light sensor. If I could pull that value, I might be better off...

    That might do the trick.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I'm letting the camera switch automatically. I just want to read that state from the camera and effectively use the camera as a sensor to help me to determine if it's dark enough to turn the lights one. I'm currently doing that via calculated sunset but would like something a bit more aligned...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Slightly off topic - is there any way to programmatically determine if the camera is currently in day or night mode? I'd like to read that status with my home automation system and use it to trigger some landscape lights on/off.

    Excessive Email Alerts

    Fair enough, but I'm running this headless and would actually like get legitimate warnings just in case. Otherwise I'd live with the spurious messages and turn off any email alerts.

    Excessive Email Alerts

    Well, the problem above went away when I turned off free space monitoring for my "Stored" folder which is on a NAS. At least is worked just fine for several months until the same issue came back again. So I dug a little deeper. It turns out that BI appears to be sending me alerts because of...

    Excessive Email Alerts

    Responding to move own post, the issue seems to be with 'movefile' events from New to Stored. I have not idea why I'm getting alerts and the BlueIris logs are pretty much useless for any level of detail.The storage I'm moving clips to has over 4TB free, so there's no issue there. Any clues out...

    Excessive Email Alerts

    For some reason my Blue Iris instance is now sending me email alerts pretty much every hour in this form: Clips: 64 files, 88.4G/331.0G; D: +3.55T 2017-05-19 9:56:08 AM Clips: MoveFile 58: D:\BlueIris\New\Back.20170514_160332.bvr (170) 2017-05-19 9:20:23 AM Phil: WAN IP Address: Logout, 3:47...
