    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    Unifi with ONVIF sounds really good - I happen to have a Unifi network at my home - I have Unifi protect, but no cameras. I would seriously look into moving away from BI but until or unless Unifi supports IVS/Motion triggering within ONVIF it is a total no-go as all of my Dahua cameras are set...

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    What did you end up with? I have the same question - with one addition. My system will be completely local - no internet access so viewing takes place on site but using phone, tablet. Did you find a NVR you are comfortable with?

    Recommendation 2 cameras closed system

    Send like must cameras take to to 256gb. Still, at roughly 1.5 gb per hour at 1080p h265 gives 170 hours or almost 7 days. You've shown me the light. A couple of Dahua IP Cameras with excellent on board recording and smart detection and SD card. Just access them independently and directly, No...

    Recommendation 2 cameras closed system

    Thank you for the reply. We have traffic daily in the lobby. We need to look back, after the fact probably at full recording. Couple days might be enough, a little more is better. Didn't think 250gb per camera is sufficient

    Recommendation 2 cameras closed system

    Looking for recommendation on camera, recording and viewing. Located in lobby of very small condo, couple cameras there will be no Internet access I'm open to a local lan, NVR or not, probably POE connection from closet. Once set access by phone over Wi-Fi, local lan, as PC makes little sense...

    MotionDetection - Blue Iris - ONVIF - Dahua/Empire Cameras - wits end

    thanks, so much everybody - I will manage this through the BI ONVIF profiles as you say. I still don't know where I turned general motion detection on using the IP Camera interface. Nonetheless - I will filter as you suggest. thanks again

    MotionDetection - Blue Iris - ONVIF - Dahua/Empire Cameras - wits end

    thanks, I'll surely do that - but not clear to me which one(s) refer to the IVS ones. Looks like i need to better understand all those events. Device/Trigger, RuleEngine/LineDetector/Crossed, RuleEngine/CellMotionDetector/Motion (seems like a culprit), RuleEngine/MyRuleDetector/Visitor etc...

    MotionDetection - Blue Iris - ONVIF - Dahua/Empire Cameras - wits end

    Hi all,not sure this is the place to post this. I have been spending tons of time trying to do/eliminate what would appear to be a very simple IVS/Detection issue. Single Camera (I have others): EmpireTech 4MP 1/1.8" CMOS Ultra Low Light IP Camera,Starlight IR Motorized 2.7mm-12mm...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    I checked that at the last minute to see if that work have a positive affect. Apparently not. I'll uncheck it. I do plan to record continuously, that's next on my list as well as adding another camera. Seeing 10 or 20 seconds prior to a trigger works on camera recording, and works if BI is...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    It appears that i have things working pretty well. I have one last remaining issue/question (i guess for now). When a tripwire is triggered i will get a recording locally on the sd card, and as well an onvif trigger to blue iris. When i view the clip locally/camera/sd card it will show a few...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    thank you for describing those items - and reminding me that i have bought a commercial camera - and a very good one i will add, absolutely no complaints. I switched to IE and saw some differences, settings were the same, i will stick with it. I have a card inserted and i have set it to...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    sorry, i was just showing the "controls" not my settings. The second screen is not mine, it's one i got from online as a way to highlight the 2 different screens that configure IVS. I guess what i was trying to ask was what the controls mean and why they differ so much when looking for...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    sigh ... seems like any time i "touch" this is seems to stop working. The real difficult thing for me is to find any documentation with instructions or a picture that matches what i'm seeing. But then i can't find a consistent set of instructions on line, as each description is slightly...

    Enable IVS Trigger for Blue Iris - not working

    Guess it must be close to Halloween. I placed a card in the camera, formatted it, rebooted a few times. Recreated the trip wire... Now ... yay!! recordings/events are showing up in BI. But i see no logs and no events and no recordings when looking into the camera IP Control Panel .. go figure...
