I have a door with a magnet sensor thingy connected to one of my camera's Alarm IOs. I'd like BI to add some OSD text to that camera's video feed when the camera's IO is triggered by that sensor. I've added the text overlay and set it to only display when a DIO bit is set. How do I cause the...

Looking to replace some older cameras and add some others to my existing 12 camera setup and these newer Colorvu cameras look like they provide decent nocturnal images. I can't find any example footage where there is no or very little ambient light going on though. ...I'm in a rural area and...

I made a basic custom live-view web page that drops in the BI www folder and defaults to showing the index in full screen. Clicking a cam fullscreens it, clicking again goes back to the index. Double clicking opens the ui3.htm page on the current view. Super simple and that's all it does. I was...

I looked into this a while back but it looks like BI uses a proprietary database format. At least I couldn't figure out how to read the db or bvr files. My use case was that I wanted to 'manually'* add / import footage to the db from mobile recording devices (eg. dashcam & body cameras). Files...

I have a small python script I wrote which runs on my work PC, laptop, home desktop, etc. BI has an alert event set up for each device to send a web request to each instance of the script on each machine. The script runs a basic web server which when it receives a valid request will display a...

Wow, had one of these on the bench for a while that needs resetting as not accessible via web UI. Had been putting this off as there was no mention of it in any manuals I could find. Thanks. PS. What a stupid place for a reset button.

Are you definitely setting the parse_mode parameter? Indeed the possibilities are near endless. One thing I've been intending to add are a couple of 'snooze button' links that will tell BI to supress notifications for 15M, 1H, 3H etc. So eg. if I'm out in the workshop out of hours I can...

Yes my bad, I still had the domain hardcoded on a couple of cams and using the &WAN token on the rest. The one I took a screenshot of and copied the line from used a hardcoded address but I futzed it when I swapped it to using the token. Have edited now to fix. UI3 always seems to take a while...

I do similar but just call curl directly from BI so no need for a shell script... https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOTID>/sendphoto -F chat_id=<CHATID> -F photo=@D:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH -F caption="[*&NAME*](http://<BIDOMAIN>/live.htm#&CAM) \- &MEMO" -F parse_mode=MarkdownV2 Obviously you...

Fantastic tool. Great work. Any plans to have an option to replace the BI alert image with one edited by AI-tool to overlay detected objects onto the original image. If not may I propose that as a suggestion for a future version.

I've been using the Onvif generic config so far during testing, which works ok but doesn't allow a direct camera stream in liveview or on mobile. It's also not possible to add Onvif cameras in batches, which is a handy feature. I think there are quite a few other settings and options missing as...
