    Blue Iris OS Options

    I did the TPM update, then the RUFUS. All worked great, and windows 11 updated also. So all good, thanks!

    Blue Iris OS Options

    Just asking...is there any benefit to updating to TPM2.0 (using the Dell utility on a i7-6700 system) on an otherwise ineligible win 10 system before (or after) using RUFUS to go to Win11?

    Blue Iris OS Options

    I have an Optiplex 7040 SFF also, but it has an i7-6700 which the Dell support page says will not allow Win11 even if you do the TPM2.0 update offered. Did you have a more recent processor? (it says: "Note: Computers that shipped with Intel 6th and 7th Generation processors (i7-7xxx, i5-7xxx...

    Seeing IVS triggers on past events in BI?

    thought so... makes sense!

    Seeing IVS triggers on past events in BI?

    I'm guessing the answer is no, but I can't remember if there is a way to see the triggers (blinking green lines) for an alert of IVS in a dahua 5442 in the past? I guess you can see it live in the web view, and maybe if recorded to an SD card (and maybe on an NVR), but can you see them for...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    Oh! That's not what I expected! (and a major pain to do... not accessible, no extra appropriate cards...) So much for that idea... thanks!

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    I'm trying to set up the new feature in the 5542 firmware (experience database), and following Andy's ( @EMPIRETECANDY ) video, I get to the part where it asks me to Import Videos / Search but have no videos there even after an alert (I record to BI). What do I have to enable to get those...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    That sounds great... continue to alert on the deer, but ignore the racoon or opossum. (without trying to set minimum size, which is hard since it's relative to distance). A big deal (if I can figure it out!)

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    @EMPIRETECANDY does the new self learning firmware for the 5xxx s3 cams still have "animal" as an option to alert? (I assume so if the cat triggered it)

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    If the cameras are connected to the POE switch, and that POE switch to your network, that's not ideal since all the camera traffic flows through your main network. Best if the cams, connected to a POE switch, then go to a NIC, not to your main network. Keep them separate. (if I understood you...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    While your map will work, this is better... add a second NIC (network card, can be cheap $15 card) to the PC running BI. The cameras get connected to that, and not to the internet. The original network card in the same PC gets the internet from your router or network switch.

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    I use a Shelly smart switch on a lamp, and it can be alerted easily in Blue Iris. When the deer drop by, the lights go on. No need for Home assistant or anything, just the smart switch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096W3ZZDD?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 set up an alert as...

    Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here

    @EMPIRETECANDY Hey Andy, does the latest (Dec '24) firmware update for the 5442 S3 on your site still have animal detection? ( I think this is newer than the "animals" version we got a ways back?....) Any reason to update from that one?

    Cannot get ONVIF on new Dahua IPC-T54IR-AS to work with BI........need advice on what I may be doing wrong

    My 4k-T won't trigger IVS in corridor mode with a similar view. I have another camera that looks at the same area, but with normal horizontal setup, and I have that camera triggering the 4k-t so I have alerts (and main stream video ) from it.
