    Why are Custom Models grayed out in my AI tab?

    I would like to use ipcam-general, do i need to check "use custom model" in BlueIris Setting tab and then set the model to ipcam-general in the Camera setting AI page? Right now I do not have the "use custom model" checked, its unclear if both need to be set for it to work.

    you need to first enter your license, this is the key that was provided to you when you first purchased BI. Then BI will at least open, once it opens go to the About page it will likely say support expired select renew and enter the maintenance key.

    You cannot use the service when in the 15 day evaluation period, so everyone lost the service that went into eval mode. Mne was worse as i couldn't even open the app since mine went to 0 days.

    This is good and all and hopefully we get a detail explanation once the dust settles. Few Questions for whoever: Why does a hard drive failure cause paying customers to go into eval mode, mine went to 0 days effectively meaning it was not running or recording. This is a HUGE when someone is...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I'm currently looking at solutions to get rich notifications on my phone and pushover looks to be the easiest to implement but aren't you guys concerned about privacy with images being uploaded to third party services? One of the main reasons I went with BI was so all my data stays local, but...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    You beat me to it was going to reply with this as well, this box was the missing item. Although CPU might seems better, detection was in the 200-400ms range but with GPU i'm getting 400-500ms.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    How can i get CPAI to use GPU instead of CPU, do i need to replace my custom models with ones that support GPU? I do not have a Nvidia GPU and would like to make use of my Intel iGPU. 24:20:11: 24:20:11:Module 'Object Detection (YOLOv5 .NET)' (ID: ObjectDetectionNet) 24:20:11:Active: True...

    LOREX W482CAD

    @todd Can you confirm if you are able to change most settings when using the amcrest app, things like motion detection, codec, bitrate etc? I would really like to know if the spot light button in the amcrest app works? What about ONVIF trigger events, do they work in BlueIris?

    Activate Alarm with BI Profile

    I have some cameras recording and triggering 24/7 but have alerts turned off in BI, when I switch BI to my away profile it is only then will I get alerts on my phone. What I would like BI to do is when I switch to away profile, it turns on the led probe lights when an IVS event triggers but...

    LOREX W482CAD

    @Todd1976 @dewhy12 I know this is an old thread but wondering how this camera has held up? I'm considering this camera do to the built in power cord and 5GHz, to replace my current 2.4ghz camera in a location i cannot run a network cable or hide the wires. My only option to hide the wires...

    External and SMR Drive for archive?

    What difference does it make if its a NAS or external drive as long as the storage is fast enough? Technically a 1gbps network NAS would be slower than a USB 3.0 5gbps. My archive drive that I'm currently using is a 3gbps SATA drive connected to a 3gbps SATA port, the USB drive is faster.

    External and SMR Drive for archive?

    What are your guys thoughts when it comes to SMR drives? Obviously it isn't a good idea to use SMR drives as the recording disks but what about just to archive the footage once main recording disk gets full? Is it going to be an issue since technically it will only write when Blue Iris moves the...

    IPC-T5541H-AS-PV Firmware

    Now I need to go see if auto tracking is broken on one of my Amcrest cameras. I updated it months ago and it's been working just fine but had disabled auto tracking until I mounted it, didn't get around to reenabling it.

    IPC-T5541H-AS-PV Firmware

    I wasn't aware they are doing shady things such as removing features, I can also see API changes breaking automation but that does not apply to me. But noted on the don't fix what ain't broke

    IPC-T5541H-AS-PV Firmware

    I'd like to try it out. Its best practice to stay as current as possible, doesn't have to be the latest. I tend to update once a year and always keep a backup of the old firmware and configs so I can easily restore if I run into issues.

    IPC-T5541H-AS-PV Firmware

    This was purchased from Empire Andy with his version of firmware, can someone confirm if I can just flash Dahua firmware on top? I think this is the correct version IPC-HDW5541H from Dauha website here ?

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    for anyone that wants to use an app for 2 way audio or video adjustments, the amcrest view pro app works just fine with this camera and is completely local.

    DMSS V 1.96.001 (17 NOV 2021) : Random No permission error when viewing motion alarm recordings

    How do you guys feel with there TOS for using DMSS? I don't have an account and only use local access but feel some of there shady business practices has me worried what data the app collects. I know its no different than all other apps, but this is supposed to be for security. I been trying...

    Optimize Shutter Speeds

    When setting the shutter to 1/120 for example (not range), does that mean minimum or is it fixed to only 1/120? Is a lower grain value better, 0-40 is better than 0-60? Manual Night Color: Shutter: 0-16.66, Grain 0-70 is a bit grainy but not blurry. Shutter Priority 16.66 is not grainy and not...

    Optimize Shutter Speeds

    I've got the shutter set to 0-16.6 and gain set to 0-70 for now, will test it for a few days, to see if it has better results than Auto. At the moment i'm not using HLC, BLC and WDR, but should I? I suspect its best to keep it disabled if I want less motion blur. Also to want to point out i'm...

    Optimize Shutter Speeds

    I was playing with the shutter speeds based on a few threads on this forum. I've tested shutter priority and find that 1/30 to 1/120 have minimal difference in terms of cameras visibility, anything higher and it gets to dark. I then set the gain to 0-50 and that seems to be fine for now. When...

    Full Color Cameras worth it?

    I did adjust the video settings and have it switching between Day/Night profiles using BI, but don't recall changing the shutter speed. I'll try messing with shutter speed over the few days and see if i can get better results. The street is bright as i have a street lamp in the same direction...

    Full Color Cameras worth it?

    I've been using a couple HDW2431T-AS-S2 and they have been good, however looking to replace it with something that has 2 way talk and AI. I've had the HDW5541H on my list for a while but see there are now full color cameras like HDW3849H for around the same price. My current HDW2431T is a 3.6mm...

    Does ADC2W work with BI

    I ended up using the full Amcrest NVR and that has also worked to get the settings dialed in just right, but the IP Tool looks even easier. I actually use DMSS for 2 way audio and was disappointed this camera could not be added to it, however Amcrest View Pro works great with this camera, the...

    Customize Text Overlay

    I have always used text overlay on the camera and not BI and positioned it in a location that would still be visible is very bright conditions but still not idle, then moved to adding a privacy mask behind the overlay. Privacy mask while better again still not the best as it blocks off footage...

    Change Verification Code

    I got a ezviz camera and used the batch Config tool to setup and everything actually works great, was even able to update the firmware without an ezviz account. However the verification code is the default admin password, is there any way to change this? I've tried changing the admin password...
