I think I got this corrected. On my AI settings I had "Canceled Alerts: Move To Canceled Alerts List". I changed that to "Canceled Alerts: Remain On Alerts List" Thanks for the help!!

Yep, BI is triggering using motion. I get high res video for all motion. I'm trying to use AI for alerts but it isn't adding the alerts to my Alerts tab.

Here is my record tab. After switching the AI to "none" per The Automation Guy's recommendation I did get an alert from the camera when it saw motion. I'd like to keep the AI so it will only trigger for cars, people, etc. Are there settings I can change on the AI screen to fix it?

I have 17 cameras on my BI system. If I manually trigger any of the cameras from the BI dashboard it will create an alert in the alerts menu on the left side and in the BI app on my phone. But no other alerts are created. The cameras are definitely being triggered. I have it set up to record the...

Yep, right now it just reads my house cleaner's plate. It has a condition to only trigger on the days and times she is scheduled to be there. It also sends me a notification on my phone with a snapshot of the camera so I can confirm it's her. The notification also has an action button I can...

Thanks for the feedback! I do have a 2nd driveway camera, but it's positioned to only catch license plates as a car enters the driveway, and they aren't great. I use Home Assistant to read license plates in order to open the garage door based on the plate and other rules. I'm looking for a...

I currently have Amcrest 4K cameras on my house. They are good, but I'm wondering if there is something better. I particularly would like something better for my driveway cameras so I can read license plates more clearly. Here is what they currently look like. Does anyone know of a camera...

I think I ended up solving this, it's worked for a few days now. I think the issue was my drives were getting too hot. They were running around 135-140 degrees (f). I tried spacing them apart and got it down to 117-125. Then I added a 120mm fan in front of the drives. That brought it down to a...

I have Blue Iris installed on a headless Windows 10 machine that is mounted in my server rack. When I need to do any configuration or access the machine I just use Google Remote Desktop to remote in. A few months ago I started having an issue where the Remote Desktop connection wouldn't...

Hmm, this might be leading me to my problem, I always had these videos in my alerts folder. I see now that they are jpg Motion but when I click on them they play the high res video. There alerts are now gone. If it matters, and it probably does, I'm using deepstack to trigger the recording...

I recently updated to 5.5.4.5 and I think it broke something. I record in "continuos + triggered" mode on all my cameras. Previously, my continuous video recordings (sub-stream) was being stored at Blue Iris/New and my triggered video stream (hihg-res) was being stored at Blue Iris/Alerts...

I record continuos + triggered. So I won't miss anything. I prefer to use the deepstack to trigger because it also triggers a binary motion sensor entity on Home Assistant. Just to test if Deepstack was involved in my problem I disabled it. The problem still exists without deepstack.

I'm having issues with the audio on my alerts being off I'm using Deepstack to identify a person, I trigger the camera if it sees a person. If my pre-buffer trigger is set to 5 seconds then the audio on the alert recording is off by 5 seconds. If I set the pre-trigger to 1 second the audio is...

Yeah, I need to look into it. I kind of hastily added the integration in order to test using camera motion to trigger motion in Home Assistant. I don't really need camera streams in Home Assistant. I can probably find a better way to send motion alerts, probably through MQTT. Oddly, I deleted...

I found the culprit. I have Blue Iris integrated with my home automaton system, Home Assistant. Disabling the Home Assistant user in BI dropped my CPU usage to 2%. I'll need to work on limiting the resources that Home Assistant is using.
