    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I had checked the 'enable pushover push notifications' just to take the screenshot to paste in my previous post. A few minutes later, it sent the notification from hours before about BI not running, so it seems like the notification flag isn't getting flushed out after sending. That, or I'm...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    It's the watchdog alerts in Blue Iris Tools that I have it configured with Pushover. To test it, I manually closed down BI, BI Tools picked up it no longer running and restarted the program, then sent a pushover notification with 'Blue Iris not detected at h:mm:ss on MM/dd/yyyy". A few minutes...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Maybe this has been asked somewhere in the previous 63 pages of discussion, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with the Pushover integration for watchdog alerts. I have it configured and working, but I get the same alert repeated over and over every few minutes roughly according to...

    BI 4 Not Recognizing 2048 x 1536 Stream?

    Yeah, it's more the migration effort that would be significant. 12TB of spanned drives, integration with a home automation system, hosting a Kodi mysql database, etc. will mean a lot of time to shift to a new machine. That, and a wife that's sick of me buying more electronics. My plan is to do...

    BI 4 Not Recognizing 2048 x 1536 Stream?

    Ok, that led me down the right path. It's an old school 6 core AMD (Phenom X6 1075T) coupled with a 1GB Nvidia cuda-enabled video card. I've been trying extend the life of this machine that was great in its prime, but it's really not well suited to BI duty. Oddly, I had to set it to Intel hw...

    BI 4 Not Recognizing 2048 x 1536 Stream?

    I'm running BI v4.8.4 (haven't found the need to upgrade yet) and came across an odd quirk. I have a camera that has 3MP output capability (2048 x 1536), as well as the standard HD resolutions. BI finds and handles the 1080p stream just fine. However, if I simply change the resolution to 2048 x...

    Web Server - Option for Lower FPS?

    I've been having a lot of bandwidth issues with my ISP, to the point that I can only get about 150 kbps upload from my BI server. Until I get things sorted out with them, I can drop down to 360p or 480p, but the loss of resolution is an issue. What I'm looking to do is reduce the FPS to about 2...

    Intermittent Camera Drop Outs

    Quick question - are your cameras directly opened up (port forwarded) to the internet? I noticed a dramatic improvement in the stability of my cameras after disabling the port forwarding to them, and just relying on the BI web server for viewing. I believe there are port scanners that look for...

    Webserver Shows Live Cams Perfectly, but Trouble With Clips

    It would depend on what the limiting factor is. The stream coming from the camera is likely h264 regardless of what the BI encoding is when it's not direct to disk. You could likely just tweak the wmv settings to get something that is a reasonable compromise, but all of the same considerations...

    I've left mine as wmv and haven't had any issues since.

    Low FPS When Console Is Up, But Still Low CPU Usage

    I can dig into them and snag some snapshots, but they're fairly basic and, unfortunately, cheap Chinese cameras. The streams from them seem fairly solid when viewed on their own, though. Are you looking for camera settings (e.g., slow shutter), video coding settings (e.g., h.264 profile, fps)...

    Low FPS When Console Is Up, But Still Low CPU Usage

    I actually do have that set to be unrestricted. The low fps shows on the fps overlay and is obvious in any recordings as well, so it seems like more than just an interface display effect.

    Low FPS When Console Is Up, But Still Low CPU Usage

    When I've used UI3, it's been on a different machine. In terms of viewing, I believe the framerate drop has happened with both local viewing and via remote desktop, but I'll confirm since it could clearly have an impact. If it turns out to be an issue primarily with remote desktop, I'd still...

    Low FPS When Console Is Up, But Still Low CPU Usage

    The issue existed before Nvidia cuda hardware acceleration was even an option, as well as after having it enabled for all cameras, so I doubt it's related. I can give it a shot, though. I'm running Windows 7 home ultimate 64 bit.

    Low FPS When Console Is Up, But Still Low CPU Usage

    I have a strange issue with my install on an older AMD X6 1075T with Nvidia Gigabyte graphics card (Cuda enabled). I'm running three wired 1080p cameras at only 5 fps and <1 Mbps each, along with one standard definition wifi camera also at 5 fps (that one doesn't have motion detection enabled)...

    Network Connection not fast enough

    I've had very similar issues on my gigabit network with both BVR and MP4 formats, and in both UI3 and the android app. My current workaround is to use .wmv for camera stream encoding, which has been working much, much better. I'd prefer to stick with mp4, but I haven't received any responses on...

    Webserver Shows Live Cams Perfectly, but Trouble With Clips

    Also, I see the following error on some clips when viewing through UI3: "DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED" The next video I try opening also fails with the following error: "HTML5 Player: the element has no supported sources" Additionally, using WMV format works...

    Webserver Shows Live Cams Perfectly, but Trouble With Clips

    Can anyone tell me what might cause recorded videos to be streamed poorly through the webserver, but buffered live streams from cameras show perfectly fine? I have issues with the playback of recorded clips through both the UI3 interface and through the android app. Clips will generally start...

    Advanced Stream Monitoring and Control - Interface with RBP?

    Yeah, I'm not looking to use networking power strips. I would tie in the power supply wiring for the PoE switch that powers the camera to a relay that's controlled by the pi. I do something similar for disabling a driveway alarm of ours. I think the cause of the failure is simply that they're...

    Advanced Stream Monitoring and Control - Interface with RBP?

    The issue is that, when they lock up, they won't accept a login of any kind. Unless I'm missing something, there would then be no way for the BI watchdog to send a reboot command. I already have the watchdog set to send a reboot command after 5 consecutive timeouts, but it doesn't work with...

    Advanced Stream Monitoring and Control - Interface with RBP?

    I'm currently running BI with four hardwired cameras, three of which are cheap Chinese units. They work fairly well, except that they occasionally lock up and have to be power cycled. When they lock up, BI understandably shows that the stream has been lost. Is there any way for BI to...

    Missing Alert Images from One Scheduled Camera?

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I wonder if I don't have the schedule set up properly or something. The clips are recording properly on the schedule and being placed in the right directory. Just the alert images are missing, even though the option is checked for high res alert images. Any...

    Missing Alert Images from One Scheduled Camera?

    I currently have four cameras being monitored by blue iris. Three of the cameras are set to record on motion triggers all the time, while the fourth is set for motion trigger only during a set schedule. My issue is that the one on a schedule does not seem to have alert images being saved. I have...

    Playing MP4 Captures Within BI

    Thanks, that did it. Everything seems to be working fine, and I can play the mp4s back just fine through the mobile app as well.

    Playing MP4 Captures Within BI

    It is the alert videos that I'd be wanting to watch through the app, so maybe it wouldn't work well. I'll do a few tests to see if mp4 would simply not work on my system in that respect. I'd still like to find out how to view the mp4 recordings right in BI, though, even if I don't end up using...

    Playing MP4 Captures Within BI

    Yeah, I'm ok with not being able to view one that's still being recorded. It obviously has to do with how the headers are written versus that in an mp4 that needs to finish the stream before completing the header. I'd still generally prefer the mp4 container without the 'in progress' playback...

    Playing MP4 Captures Within BI

    I'm not using direct to disk recording in order to allow for the BI video overlays. The cameras that I use are fairly cheap and their overlays have been buggy in the past, while also not offering things like fps. Their quality is also not the highest, so the re-encode doesn't hurt things much at...

    Playing MP4 Captures Within BI

    Although the .bvr container may allow for more internal flexibility (e.g., previewing while still recording), I would prefer to use .mp4 containers for my captured footage to allow for network viewing on other devices. However, I'm having difficulty viewing the captures in BI if they are in mp4...

    Single Trigger Snapshot?

    I settled for changing the alerts folder to my google drive folder, and everything's now working consistently.
