    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Hey everyone, I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum both old and newer threads and just when I think I've got it I get confused again. Short version: I have the new Dahua cameras but am confused about the best way to switch between day and night profiles. Should I Use the Day/Night...

    Day/Night mode best practice?

    I have started to play with picture and exposure settings on a new camera and looking to see what others are doing for day and night profiles. I noticed in the profile manager there is a schedule where I can pick a time range and a Day/Night option. My first question is with the Day/Night...

    Profile Copy?

    Reviewed an old thread and it seemed to indicate that profile copy does not exist any longer. I of course have my profile 2 setup "just the way I want" and wanted to copy it everywhere, then do my tweaks on them after the copy. I see the "sync from profile 1", but that is kind of the opposite...

    Only sending push notifications when some external status is true (e.g. Alarm is armed)

    So I only want push notifications when the house alarm is armed. I've been thinking about this. The only real conditions on push notifications seem to be: profile, input source, and AI objects. The obvious candidate is profiles. But I use profiles for different motion settings based on the time...

    Confusion about Profiles (continous recording and alerts not in working hours)

    HI all, What I want: - all Cameras should record 24/7, but I need no alerts (alerts tab in main screen) from 9am - 3pm, this should work for all cams. I tried to follow the instructions in this thread: continuous recording with scheduled alerts. But I don't get it. What I did: went to...

    Show a limited number of cameras on my tablet

    Hi All, I have 10 cams running but only want to show 4 on an ipad, this will be used to keep an eye open for deliveries whilst on conference calls. My first thought was to use profiles and make a "delivery" profile making the unwanted cameras inactive in this new profile. I'll be dammed if I...

    BI5 reverts Profile upon Motion Detection?

    Hi All I have BI5 running, with Sentry AI as well. So far, so good. It's integrated with Home Assistant as well, and it works for the most part. (motion detection not showing in HA) I have a problem with BI switching profile from "Away/Ude" (2) back to "Home/Hjemme" (1) without me knowing why...

    Using Profile to Change Camera Position V5.06

    I have set up a Preset Schedule called Day_Night to move one of my two PZT cameras to a different position at sundown and move it back to the old position after sunrise. At least, that's the goal. So The default Profile, "Active" (#1) is the daytime orientation, and another Profile, "Night" #3...

    Restricting specific user account access by profile.

    Hi Question: Is it possible, in BlueIris, to restrict specific user account access by profile rather than by group or schedule? That is, they can only access when a specific profile is active. Background: In my setup, I want to have the ability to do the following: I have a number of...

    Profiles & Schedules

    For the past several months I have been going back and forth in an effort to understand Blue Iris Profiles and Schedules. For me it is overly complicated and seriously confusing - I may be over thinking it but the end result for me each time is 'it makes no sense." I have read the Help section...

    Set Profile from Tasker on Android?

    I want to set my Blue Iris profile to "away from home" when I leave the house. Since it seems that the Blue Iris geofencing feature isn't terribly reliable, I'd like to create a Tasker profile on my Android phone to do this. Has anyone done this? How would I do it? (i.e.having created the...

    Odd issue with inactive profile

    When selecting "~" as the active profile on one specific Blue Iris system, I have the desired result on "all cameras" group: I'm able to see them on the mobile/browser as a still image with the time when "inactive" profile was selected. This happens without enabling "Continue to display and...

    Can't draw in a profile.

    I had two profiles set up, Daytime, Night time and all was good. Somehow lost my profiles when creating a third, they all went to solid green. Now when I select Profile #1 Daytime to try and draw in it, nothing happens. I can drag the pencil all around and nothing changes but solid green. Any...

    Day/Night Motion Settings (without profile use?)

    How do I setup change for the motion / record options based on Day / night without using profiles (like the camera's use)? The screen shot shows a failed attempt using profiles, but it just becomes WAY to complicated.
