Just a long standing issue I have with the audio output levels on a 4MP mini PTZ that I've had for some time. I was satisfied enough with my 2MP mini PTZ a DH-SD1A203T-GN that I bought the 4MP version a DH-SD1A404XB-GNR. What seems strange is how much quieter the 4MP PTZ is compared to the 2MP...

In BI Status the icon is often red yet I don't spot anything much in the log. What I notice is in the Tab for cameras, the column of number of clips is reversed, white numbers black background? I did a Reset about 2 hours ago, the clips are in single figures but white on black. Have I got some...

Here BI is on 5.7.3.0 and Code Project AI on 2.0.8.0, it's all been working OK until I noticed this afternoon that there were no Alert clips showing, none since 5.55am this morning. We've been out this morning doing some shopping so I hadn't noticed. I could see plenty in All clips that were...

How are modules removed? From the dashboard, Status shows that I am using Object Detection(YOLO6.2), The InstallModules tab shows I have also got installed Object Detection(YOLOv5.Net) " best for those on Windows and Linux without CUDA enabled GPUs", this module it's not showing as being used...

In the Autumn we had hedgehogs on our property who I was feeding by the back door before the weather turned cold. It was only through having CCTV did I realize that they were frequent visitors. A few weeks ago I bought two hedgehog homes from the pet shop and looking at the mess (crap) in the...

Here in the UK there was a 1 hour change overnight, this morning all my 4 Hikvision and 4 Dahua cameras were showing the correct time, in the UK that meant going from BST to GMT. (BST British Summer Time to GMT Greenwich Mean Time) It's now dark outside and what I've just noticed was that my...

Whilst the firmware for my 4 Dahua cameras mean there is no need for me to install a browser plugin, my 4 Hikvison cameras still seem to need a plugin. Is this still the case in 2022? As someone who mostly uses PCs running Linux it would be an advantage not to need browser plugins.

I just would like to know how others have set up their profiles with or without the Sync option in a camera's settings tabs for Trigger, Record and Alerts, mostly the latter two options here, because I have chosen the no Sync option selected in my profiles for Trigger in all my cameras. In BI I...

I undated from 5.6.0.9 to 5.6.0.10 and BI didn't fire up, some error message about corrupt Program Files. This was about 2 hours ago. I first use W10 apt repair using the BI Wizard but it just stalled, I gave it over 30 minutes and nothing moved. I downloaded from IPCT here 5.6.0.9, ran it and...

I've been back on 5.5.9.6 (1st August 2022) for perhaps 2 weeks after a previous update messed with the "All Clips", as accessed from the green filing cabinet, it was all black blank. Still making no effective progress with Code Project AI to work, I decided to update BI to 5.6.0.8. With BI...

Following a post on IPCT about cybersecurity I followed a Hikvision link to check for firmware updates, I've got two Hikvision PTZ cameras that presumably they want me to update the firmware, a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE 4 MP PTZ which is in service and as a spare a DS-2DE4A225IW-DE 2MP PTZ. As far as I...

As if in a flash with some trick of my mouse movement my list of video clips has moved from the left side of the BI display to down the right side. How do I move them back to a position that I have been familiar with, down on the left side please? Edit: solved, a double click on the clip list...

My alert clips have in the top right hand corner an icon, a white circle with a bar, like a no entry sign. This also appears at the top of the blue verticals on the Alerts time line. Searches through BI help and Google do not provide any answers for this icon's appearance. What is the meaning of...

Does Blue Iris have certain specifications of what video feed it receives from a camera, above which it complains with indigestion by crashing Blue Iris? The BI administrator, you, is then required to scale back the video feed BI receives from a camera to stop BI crashing. I perceive a trend as...

With DeepStack apparently now deprecated in Blue Iris, leading to some users of DeepStack being reluctant to update to newer versions of BI, what then is the received wisdom on IPCT about what AI software might be reasonable to replace DeepStack with in Blue Iris? It seems like there is a...

This is no big issue here, I am just curious about Dahua PTZ protocols under Blue Iris. I've one Dahua varifocal and 3 Dahua PTZs. My new 4MP mini PTZ though needed the selection of a different protocol in configuration which I did not expect. Dahua 2MP Varifocal Turret DH-IPC-HDW5231RP-ZE...

This information may be of use to other Linux users with an interest in CCTV. Until last week I had working Pale Moon and ONVIF Manger under Wine to access my Hikvision NVR, a DS7608NI-K2 8P on series 3 firmware. Looking back I am thinking it was an update to Wine that screwed things up. To...

Today I consider I have got my Nvidia T600 finally working properly with Deepstack Windows GPU version. I had been running Deepstack CPU version for several months with analyses taking around 340ms. Looking for an improvement 3 weeks ago I fitted a PNY Nvidia T600 into the HP SSF PC that I use...

What is considered an acceptable performance speed from CPU or GPU processing that DeepStack requires to process images after camera Trigger events? Whilst we might all want it to be instantaneous with a mega fast GPU, but in the real world what would be an acceptable speed? I'd say it's a...

I have no added graphics card, I've an HP SSF PC with an Intel i7-7700 CPU with the onboard Intel HD Graphics 630. I've 7 cameras which here is almost enough, an 8th camera is a vague possibly for next year. The average Mega p for my 7 cameras is around 2.7Mp. Current CPU load is mostly under...

I'm uncertain if it is currently wise to upgrade the firmware on a Dahua large PTZ camera. There has been suggestions on IPCT that though you might gain some security enhancements, additionally too delivered is no need for a browser plugin to view the live video stream, but you lose in the...

Why has the installation kit for a Dahua PTZ camera come with a roll of PTFE tape? It's almost like the sort I would use to seal plumbing threads . I say almost because it's rather thinner than normal rolls of PTFE tape I've already got. The camera came with a bracket that's not threaded. I...

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-11 https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-11 I'm an on-off Windows Insider so may be offered to run W11 before it's goes full time, on a PC that I don't use for BI. I'd be interested to read of folks views of W11, and additionaly any likely issue...

On my 3x3 BI display if without a double click I select one of the camera's video feeds just by placing the mouse pointer over that camera and not double clicking, I can use the scroll wheel to zoom in and move to which part of zoomed in image to have a closer look at. All this seems normal. If...

I'm just back from a few days holiday, BI on 5.4.7.5 x64 (30/5/2021), a double left click doesn't enlarge a chosen camera's view as it did before, instead at the top the word "Paused" appears in place of the camera number that BI has given to the camera. Have I missed something and there's a way...

I'm in the process of commissioning this camera before it's mounted outside at the rear of the property, this camera it looking like it's a no for audio over IP. Manufactured in 2017-07 the camera has audio in and out wires which I assume are analogue. BI hasn't found IP audio, neither did VLC...

Some while ago, probably 2018 I bought a Dahua PTZ DH-SD50225U-HNI probably on eBay UK. Everything checks out as new and unused, the label on the box, camera manufactured in 7/2017, properly packed and all appropriate accessories. I'm now getting round to installing it at the rear of our...

My HP EliteDesk SFF W10 BI manages 6 cameras ( perhaps 2 more added later this year) has CPU load often less then 15% (thanks to me overcoming HP's grip on my Intel graphic driver install process). I seem to remember adding a thermal conductive pad between the NVMe and the mobo, all sorted then...

Despite the received wisdom on here that PTZ, and PTZ's cameras with auto tracking aren't being recommended, nevertheless does any member include one of these auto-tracking PTZ cameras in their CCTV system and use one successfully, dare I say it recommend to others on here a camera with this...
