    What model is this?

    Can anyone help me identify the model, please? The pic is blurry just enough for that bit to be lost. I don't see anything like this in the current line-up - something oldish? Advance thanks!

    That's an interesting angle, thanks.

    Cold-resistant NVR/DVR/PC?

    Let's say, I'm going to put a NVR/DVR/PC in a box that's protected from water but not from cold. Why do I not care whether it's going be a NVR, DVR or a PC? Because I am looking for a budget cold-resistant solution and everything else will follow from that. Obviously, it's not a problem to find...

    Old clips disappearing sooner than expected

    Thank you, much appreciated. I got confused by the layout simply because there's no checkbox to the left of the 'size limit' control.

    Old clips disappearing sooner than expected

    Thanks. I'm still on BI 4. Regarding the checkbox, you're saying that I can leave it unchecked while putting a number for the size limit and the system will react only to the latter, right?

    Old clips disappearing sooner than expected

    After setting one of my cams to continuous recording AND waiting for a few days, I noticed a weird issue, specifically: If I don't delete any clips from the system, older clips and alerts start disappearing on their own in a couple days, no longer than that. But when I look at the...

    False positives

    Yes. And no. In TinyCam, you can't just reduce the size of that area - you are forced to also position the smaller area within the frame. Doesn't solve much in such cases as mine.

    False positives

    Did some more research. Guess, another update might be in order for those interested in the false positives issue. As a matter of fact, my codecs seem to only be a problem as far as my clip recording ability is concerned. I still get snapshots of events on Android's lock screen. Also, I put the...

    False positives

    FWIW, the alarms are caused by weird artifacts, such as: * image suddenly turning blue, or * image turning blue with a green outline of the scene being visible * image turning black with a whitish outline of the scene visible ....etc. Naturally, such frames get registered as motion. What causes...

    PM'd you. Everyone else - guess, I'll post an update once we have meaningful results.

    False positives

    I've been using TinyCam for a few months now, and I think, it's a very well thought-out app. One area that's giving me trouble, though, is false positives. I'll be as specific as I can: In-app motion detection Video source: Blue Iris / v4 / H264 Sensivity: 35 Now, it would make sense to...

    app keeps logging out

    Now, with TinyCam, you want the PRO version (it doesn't cost much at all), since it allows background processing, and do pay attention to the corresponding settings. Best.

    app keeps logging out

    potluckman: NP. I like your way of thinking in that it would make sense to properly identify the one device that doesn't drop the connection. Might I suggest that you focus on identifying the firmware it's running - not as problematic and more promising vs hardware in the sense that you would...

    app keeps logging out

    potluckman: I've done some research..... Android is notorious in regards to background processes. Furthermore, OS developers see it as a feature, not a bug. Why? It extends battery life, it prevents computer-illiterate phone users overloading the phone's RAM etc. etc. That way, phone mfrs can...

    app keeps logging out

    Has anyone seen the app disconnect while in the background? Basically, it logs into the server alright and works the way it's supposed to, but when the phone is left unattended, it blanks out, and after a while I can be sure that the app has disconnected. I tried the Automatically Log In...

    Dahua DVR - timestamp overlay settings?

    I'm trying to manage the timestamps my Dahua DVR includes in RTSP streams. Somehow, there are no timestamps in the DVR's video port output, but they do show up in RTSP. Any ideas, please?

    Emulating BLC in Blue Iris - possible?

    Hello everyone. I've run into a serious backlight problem with a camera that doesn't support backlight compensation. While getting one that does is a sound piece of advice, I would appreciate something more software-related. So, Question 1 is - am I right in thinking that with Blue Iris, I'm...

    Awesome, just what I needed to know. That means, I won't have to mess around with my setup anymore. Sure, and I do have one open.

    Networking /Android app / making push notifications work

    The question is whether it's exactly the same port. Which port? Can it be changed? Without that distinction, " the same way" is way too broad.

    Networking /Android app / making push notifications work

    So, the app does use the same access route as the browser, at least with port 443 open. Thanks.

    Networking /Android app / making push notifications work

    There is, in the sense that there's not much you can do with that specific PC even if I give you the web interface address. You can access Blue Iris given the login details, but that's it. My question is - is that enough for the app to work, or it needs exactly what you are talking about -...

    Networking /Android app / making push notifications work

    In a way. Because the browser may only be given the Blue Iris installation's IP / port number - there is a slight difference, which is central to my question.

    Networking /Android app / making push notifications work

    Hello everyone. Let's say, I'm running a paranoid setup which only allows for web access to my Blue Iris installation. In other words, I can use the web interface, but that's it - the machine is not accessible from the outside otherwise, nor do I want it to be, VPN or no VPN. Now, I'm thinking...

    navigating continous recordings - in smart way?

    Okay. so continuous recording is a [expensive] precaution to make up for potential detection gaps. My personal problem with the "setup correctly" bit in your suggestion is that don't trust my own abilities to achieve that goal. I surely can handle the gray rectangles, but Simple vs. Gaussian...

    navigating continous recordings - in smart way?

    Well, I would certainly expect it to miss fewer events. But to never miss one? Why are the Cliff Notes mentioning failure to record continuously as a typical mistake, then?

    navigating continous recordings - in smart way?

    Hello everyone. First off, I am aware, thanks to this forum, that I can use continuous recording while leaving Motion Detection on, which will let me navigate the resulting clips afterwards. Now, let's say, I have to use continuous recording because I'm not confident in the motion detection...
