At the moment I’ve got a schedule which changes from day to night to night (alerts) based on time of the day etc. I’ve setup homeassistant to easily change profiles to “away” which basically turns on all alerts for person detection etc. The switch works great. But I still want it continue...

I am finally getting with the times and starting to integrate HomeAssistant!! I'd love to see your integration with blueiris including some workflow ideas (notifications, widgets, logic), etc. please post some layout screenshots for inspiration! I believe this will greatly benefit the entire...

I am currently running 9 cameras - some sub stream but others are 24/7 main stream. I’ve recently added HA all on the same box. Currently running i3-9100f, 16gb ram, 1650Super. I am starting to hit CPU limits. thoughts were to upgrade to a newer Ryzen CPU and maybe 32gb ram? What CPU / board...

Hello, I am running 5.8.0.5 but I do not know if this is limited to this version or not.. but there appears to be an inconsistency between what BI CPU is being reported to compared to what task manager reports? Is anyone else havin this issue?

Would love your feedback on running Blueiris on a mini PC vs full size PC with codeproject AI. To give some background.. I am currently running BI on a full size case, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-9100F, 16GB ram, 256GB OS, 2x internal 3.5" 4TB Red Drives and Nvidia 1650 SUPER. It is not uncommon for...

Hey all, I noticed I get a bit of mixed feedback as to whether or not to run H265 or H264... What do you run? and why? It seems more practical to run 4MP @ 15FPS / 6144 CBR on 265?

Hey all, I understand the general recommendation has been 15FPS is good for CCTV... My thought was the higher FPS the better, as you'll end up with more potential frames to get an ID of a person... is that a fair assumption? What do YOU run your FPS as and why?

I want to run cat6 to my letterbox for a LPR install. I've figured the ideal run from my garage through a trench in the lawn. However, to get to the lawn, i've got 1 metre (40inches) wide of concrete path which backs onto a brick wall of my brick garage wall to contend with. What's the best way...

I cant for the life of me work this out! It constantly shows up as drives over quota. If I repair the DB, it works for a bit but then returns. If I allocate more disk space to "new" it works for a bit but then returns. I've tried all db repair options, I cant seem to fix this.

Scenario: BI machine is in a rack in the garage, a break in happens, and the BI machine is stolen. All CCTV is now gone. Solution: Backup clip which AI detects as "person" on certain cameras to a folder which is automatically synced to say OneDrive or Google Drive... in theory, by time they...

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me tweak my motion detection so I do not get soo many triggers. It is clearly the headlights reflecting off the glass of the cars in the driveway... any ideas The issue:

Hey all, I am trying to optimise my break time... I am thinking an optimal setting of 30 seconds for "end trigger unless re-triggered within" and then setting the "Maximum trigger/alert duration" to 0 seconds -- these settings in conjunction with recording continuously + triggered. By doing...

Hello, This may sound like a silly question.. but I can't seem to work these simple tasks out... 1. How do you playback multiple cameras at the same time (from the timeline)? 2. How can you export video from multiple (selected) cameras at the same time? Thank you

Hey everyone, At 1:08am this morning, someone entered my unlocked (yes, I know) car. He rummaged through the car and took off. I thought I was smart by setting my blueiris setup to record 720p 24/7 and then switch to full resolution when motion was detected. However, as you can see from the...

I am wanting to delay the “on alert” functionality. I understand I can delay the “alerts” but this stops alerts from showing up in the list hence defeating the point. I have 4 cameras on my front yard currently, they are in a group called “front”. Often, when a person walks from one side of the...

Hello all, With the recent advancements of AI and integration to Blueiris... I am wanting to minimize the amount of alerts I am receiving. Scenario: I have 3 cameras at the front of my house and often when a person walks through my trigger zones, more often than not all 3 cameras trigger and...

I am trying to lower my cpu usage which seems to spike despite me using GPU… one thing I’ve considered is that I’ve got my deepstack on high version, and I’ve heard that blue iris needs to resize all images before sending to DS, which will obviously use cpu etc. With that said, I am sending...

Hello! I am running BI + Deepstack and running it on high mode (GPU). I am wanting to have certain regions completely ignored from deepstack analysis. However, I am not wanting to have those sections removed completely from the recordings... only the deepstack analysis. Is this possible...

Hello, Just wondering, for beefier systems, i.e. 16/32gb of ram.. how come BI will not utilise more ram? For example, i've got 16GB ram and 10 cameras... yet my RAM normally hovers around 1.9-2.2gb in BI? Thanks!

Hey everyone, Hoping to get a bit of help/direction on this. I am currently running the latest version of blue iris, 5.4.9.16 I am having some really annoying and inconsistent issues with deepstack and motion detections. For example, BI will correctly trigger motion, and I am happy with how...

I figured it would be great to create a central thread / post for some inspiration for others. It will give everyone the opportunity to 'steal' some of your ideas. Please post up some of your installation photos, racks, blue iris setups, TABLET wall mounted pictures, displays etc.

Is there a way to snooze alerts for X minutes/hours? For example, with my old Ring doorbell I could press snooze for a period of time, whereby essentially the motion detection would still occur, i just would not get alerts to my app.

Hey everyone, I’ve closed off all incoming ports on my network and VLANd everything for security. I’ve also setup a VPN for remote access. But the issue is, unless I keep VPN connected 24/7 on my phone I don’t get geo locations updating and most importantly I don’t get push alerts via the BI...

FYI with 4.6.2 release, you can now overlay FPS and bitrate, which is great for debugging/diagnosing, etc. Add the following as a text overlay..... %f fps | %k kbps Thoughts?

Hello, I am using BI and have 8 cameras, but for some reason two of my cameras (both IPC-HDW5442TM-AS) wont get any ONVIF triggers from IVR. I've tried factory reset, latest firmware etc. As mentioned my other cameras work without any issues. Starting to think it's faulty cameras? Is there...

So i've got a pretty much brand new SD5A425XA-HNR - 1/1.8" 4mp 25x PTZ... it literally was powered on in the garage for testing and that's it... back in the box we go.. never deployed externally etc. No issues with it at all. Purchased from Andy. I am located in Australia.. would rather local...

Hi everyone, Now that BI has native deepstack integration... what does everyone think of BI adding in native telegram as a means of sending notifications of alerts (obviously, just confirmed/flagged). I think this is a great option for seeing alerts REMOTELY without needing to add port...

Hi, It seems there is a bug with the sub streams and motion detection. Is it a bug or a misunderstanding on my end? Steps to replicate: 1. Create zones under primary stream … say half the screen. 2. Couple of motions get detected etc… normal behaviour. 3. Activate sub-stream 4. If you look...

Hello, At the moment, without going to great detail of my setup, I have the following: 1. OS - SSD 2. Data - 4TB USB external drive 3. NAS - 8TB "cctv_storage" As it stands, all cameras record to the data drive, and once filled, it "moves" to the NAS drive, this all works great. However, I...

Hello, Has anyone integrated smartthings to blue iris? If so, can you tell me your usage on it? Also, will this give a potential for security exploits or is it pretty secure?
