The latest version v0.5 can send alert images to Telegram and call multiple trigger urls (p.e. home automation server, blue iris, etc).

Hello. This program have been working wonderfully for me but there is one big issue: It runs on Windows.

I bought a PC only to run Blue Iris with this AI program with all the recommended technical requirements, but Windows is too unstable. Over these 3 months that I've been testing it, the most time that spent without freezing, crashing or stop working, is 2-3 weeks.
For example now I'm hundreds of kilometers from my house and I try to login by teamviewer and Windows don't want to show me the login, so I can't enter my pin code or do anything, but the program is working.
First time with this issue, but the point is there is always some problem and I can't just leave it alone and trust that I'll work.

So I was wondering how could I solve this, do you guys have some ideas?
I was thinking that maybe I could run this on Linux and use something like Home Assistant or something that can monitor cameras and save pictures into a folder when detects motion. Has anyone done this?

Thanks in advance

You could upgrade your network.... I run a Netgate SG-4680-1U pfSense router. It allows me to make complex firewall rules and has OpenVPN built in. I have firewall rules that only allow my Windows machine running BlueIris to connect to what I whitelist. I never have Windows issues that way. Windows updates can be evil. I remote in over LAN using OpenVPN and the built in Windows Remote Desktop protocol. Also you need to set up Windows 10 like a server. Never sleep, restart after power loss, no sign in, ect... I've been mining Ethereum (cryptocurrency) on Windows 10 with rigs running between 8-13 GPU's for 4 years straight 24/7/365 (if you think Windows is unstable try running a machine with 13 GPU's overclocked to their limit on as little power as possible) and I could literally count the times on my hands I've had Windows specific issues.

Is it possible you're getting memory leaks from using a incompatible intel driver that's crashing Windows? I had that issue with my machine when I first installed Blue Iris and used Quick Sync decoding. There is info in the Wiki about it.

There is also a watchdog for BI in Blue Iris Tools you could use. But it shouldn't be necessary, if you need it your doing something wrong.

This is 100 percent user error. Windows is VERY stable. I have over 20 blue iris systems with zero issues that run many months until I decided to upgrade. I run and support many more windows pc. None of these issues. Perform a clean install using the MS media creation tool and dont install crap.

No one has an idea why the clone cameras don't work properly? I don't see that these are clone cameras anymore.

I did some experimentation on this a few weeks ago. If I remember correctly, if you make any changes to the video settings after the clone is created, it doesn't see it as a clone anymore. I never could get it to stick, so I gave up

I am using 5 clone cameras and have never experienced any problems! I chose to use clone cameras as I did not want to record continously.
I should add that I am still using gentlepumkin's original version.

Okay and your Solution ?

I have copies of my cameras, they just aren't truly clones. CPU usage is a little higher, but not enough to worry about

Okay same solution my clone camers changed to normal cameras :(

a shame that there is no button to link them again ..


I often have problems with double connections, especially when a 3rd connection comes (Snapshot or Synology NAS) Maybe add the Bueiris URL to the camera as a new camera?
 
I'm currently using 21 clone cameras for both AI and PIR triggers. No issues and no bitrate usage from any of them.

Thank you guys. Gave me hope to know for certain that it is possible to run windows 10 and trust that it won't crash.
I will check out the memory leaks issue because I'm also using Quick Sync.
When it detects motion CPU usage goes up a lot for a few seconds, but it doesn't climb to their limits within a few hours like it's described on that post.
I'm using a Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF i7-9700, 8GB RAM

I'm not completely sure but I think I'm using a clean installation. I installed Windows when I bought it and have never installed anything besides Teamviewer, Blue Iris, Deepstack API server and this AI detection program, never visited any website besides gmail and dropbox.
Windows 10 pro is updated and configured as a server, including no auto updates.
Should I do a clean install using the MS media creation tool nonetheless?
 
I seem to be getting (often) 101 actions queued .... and then subsequent errors saying the queue is full... is there a way to manually force the queue to execute? nothing seems to be happening?
 
Is there a way to ignore certain types of objects per camera? i.e. my driveway camera has two cars (one is being detected as car and the other is truck), they are always in different locations so i cant mask the whole area. What I am trying to do is, if it detects a truck or car on the driveway camera at all and no other objects, it should be a 'false alert' not 'irrelevant'.

Go to the AI Tool > Cameras > Select the camera you want > And uncheck all the boxes you don't want alerts on.

Screen looks like that.

Edit: Sorry just realised you want it to be a false alert. What are you hoping to achieve by doing that?

I want it to be false because are reported on this page sometimes people are detected as 'dogs' or 'bear' etc. so i want to manually review irrelevant alerts to see if it is actually objects of interest. For me personally, I know cars and trucks on my driveway camera are false
 
I do that from time to time. Just go into AI-Tool>History>Filter>Only Alerts with animals.

Whatever you do, do not show the trouble and strife the photo where the AI has tagged the image of her bending over with her bum to the camera as a Horse.

I have this working, however now I've got a few thousand spam alerts that are just jpgs. If I turn OFF "Capture an Alert List Image", it should still take the jpeg snapshot trigger pic, just not add it to the alerts, right?
