    Motion detection in camera vs in BI

    I have some older (10+ yo) Axis camera that can do motion detection, but I have been using BI's built in motion detection to date. 1. I'm wondering if the built-in Axis detection algorthim is better than BI's - anyone know? 2. My CPU often runs 70% (I have 3 cameras). Is this mostly due to...

    Which zone does BI use for triggering?

    I noticed that BI has many zones, but I haven't been able to figure out which zone that BI uses to trigger. Is it Zone A? Or is it all zones (layered with the largest possible area selected)? I tried watching some tutorials, but they don't really outright say. One of the official BI videos...

    Blue Iris has good triggers but no alerts

    Hello, my alerts were working perfectly until I started messing around with the profiles. I normally don’t use any profiles but tonight I tried setting up profile 2 to have no alerts so I can select that one when the kids are running in and out of the house. I think I got that set up the way...

    False alerts with IVS on new camera

    I currently have 2 5442 cameras deployed with Dahua's IVS rules. One is a varifocal turrent, the other a 6mm fixed lens. The 6mm fixed lens is triggering constantly, I assume due to reflections and/or shadows. This is strange, as I have not had issues with the other camera. I assume this is due...

    Trigger Notifications

    I have configured push notifications and email as an immediate action when a camera is triggered. The notifications work when I force the test, but will not work when the camera is triggered. Please help.

    DeepStack fails to find any object if the triggering source is ONVIF

    Guys, I have a small problem and I just can't solve it by myself. Please tell me if you think you have any ideas how to get things working again. Blue Iris is at version 5.4.3.0. Due to many changes lately I can't say at what point my problems started. Currently I'm using the Blue Iris built...

    BI: syncing triggers between cameras

    I have a two-cam installation in a trailer park covering the entry driveways. Using BI version 5 (installed just a few months ago) I would like BOTH cameras to start recording when EITHER motion triggers. This would give me 2 views of every vehicle arriving/leaving. I tried syncing one camera...

    Medium size trigger not working

    I am having problems getting BI to trigger. For example when a person walks past my mailbox. Cars and trucks work find. Attached is a snapshot of the motion sensor settings.

    Running Foscam and latest version of BI. The problem Im having is this: The video recording is cutting off too soon. Example: I have landscapers that I want to record. They are working in 1 area for 5-10 minutes. Cameras will record for about 20 seconds and then shut off recording even...

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered

    BI will not send sound to Cam when triggered, but it will send sound when tested from the alerts > sound alarm function. I have no clones of camera active, I thought at first that was the cause. Still, the camera gets an external trigger (not set to trigger by motion, only group, external, and...

    Doubt about Dahua NVR push notifications

    Hi! I have a system with 5 (for now) cameras. I am using a Dahua NVR4216-4KS2 to record footage from all of them. I connected the external alarm system to the first alarm input of the NVR. The behavior I would like to get is to receive footage from the cameras when the alarm system is triggered...

    IVS Snapshot Delay

    When using the IVS feature to send an email with a snapshot there seems to be like a 6 second delay from when the event is triggered and when the snapshot is taken. Because of this I am rarely ever seeing what triggered the event. Is there a way to get instant snapshots as soon as the event is...

    Setting trigger parameters.

    I am trying to better understand the various settings for triggering. I adjust some setting but then have to wait until the particular conditions happen in the video stream to see if my settings are working as desired. This is a real hassle. A suggestion: it would be great if I could record a...

    Motion vs trigger question

    First off, I figured this topic was better suited for "General Talk" than "Troubleshooting" as I don't think this is a problem but more of a misunderstanding of the BI software. So I hope I choose the right forum. Alright so I've been trying to tweak my outdoor Amcrest camera (IP2M-844E) to be...

I have it set up to trigger all in zone A which is everything besides the trees in case the wind blows the leaves. It easily records every car coming down the street as soon as it comes...

    Recording continuous but marking where motion occurred?

    Hi, this might be a silly question but is it possible to record continuous in BI but also mark on the timeline where motion occurred or something similar. I like to record continuous as I've had problems in the past with it not triggering. It's not a huge deal as I have plenty of space to...

    Triggered vs Triggered+Periodic

    Missing following action

    I have an issue where I capture initial motion, but when that motion moves out of frame and then comes back in a second time (a short time later, maybe 5-20s), the second time motion is not captured/saved. Anyone know what setting to adjust for this? How many people just record EVERYTHING...
