    System recomendation for my parents

    Hi all, I have a BI system that I set up to run with AITool and deepstack with telegram alerts to my phone. It runs great and I like to tinker with it. My parents, who live 900 miles away, want to pay me to install a similar but larger system. Their desires are: All local storage No cloud or...

    Lost almost all my protected clips?

    I checked the folder where all my clips are stored and the only ones outside of the normal history window are the 3 from 2020 that remain protected. None since. Interesting that I would still have some but not all. But unfortunate that I lose something very important.

    Lost almost all my protected clips?

    I periodically protect a clip. I had a couple dozen but I went to find one today, and it was gone. Did a little digging and almost all my protected clips are done. There's 3 remaining from way back in 2020 but all protected clips since then are gone. I usually export the important ones but a few...

    Blue Iris SHIELD disarmed on it's own?

    I just want to chime in and say something similar (or perhaps the same?) happened to me at around 9:15 PM last night. I wasn't even home. All cameras just stopped recording and shield icon went to red, I didn't notice until today 18 hours later. This has never happened in ~2 years of using BI...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I've been noticing high CPU utilization, went into my headless machine running BI and AI Tool is not responding. Functionally it is working as normal, the GUi just isn't usable and is glitchy. I also have a weird black box on the screen. Anybody else seeing this suddenly? I didn't update...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Anybody having problems with certain cameras randomly clearing the AITool image mask? Suddenly my phone is getting blown up by positives on the sidewalk and I check AITool and sure enough the mask on that camera only has been cleared. This has happened in the past.

    Very erratic camera feed for all cameras on new system

    Interestingly enough, I just updated Windows and now I've completely lost the network connection on my 2nd NIC, the computer isn't even recognizing it and of course I've lost all my cams. Not sure if related.

    Very erratic camera feed for all cameras on new system

    I'm skeptical of camera or cam network issues because verything works perfectly when viewing through proper Blue Iris, its only a UI3 problem but here's more info: Mix of Reolink and Amcrest cams, both have the problem. Both are hardwired POE, camserver is an HP Elitedesk 4th gen i5. CPU sits...

    Very erratic camera feed for all cameras on new system

    Currently setting up a new Blue Iris system (I have set up 2 before) but am hitting a problem I've never seen. All camera feeds on UI3 are extremely erratic. The max FPS is supposed to be 15 but it maxes out between 9 and 11 and every few seconds drops to 2 and glitches. Additionally, the...

    Tips Reolink Camera Optimization - substreams

    Also using RLC 520s and having trouble getting substream to work as described here. When I put that URL in the substream field I get "No SIgnal" error. Main stream field just has an "/" and works when I clear the substream field. Any advice? Edit: Been working on this for an hour and solved it...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Also I want to go on record and say I'd gladly pay for for AI Tool if it meant a more refined process for installing and updating

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Problem is fixed, but I don't know how I fixed it. I ditched Docker Deepstack for Windows GPU and I also ditched AI Tool for a little while and spent a couple days configuring Blue Iris to handle my detections. In the end I didn't like how it worked with Blue Iris deepstack integration so I...

    What card can help with deepstack?

    Haha, working overdrive is basically my camservers life. I live on a busy downtown street in a top 25 city in the US with constant pedestrians all hours of the day who's shadows cast across my driveway, with my entire property under a canopy of deciduous trees in a place that gets lots of wind...

    What card can help with deepstack?

    I'm getting almost that with the $110 1030 linked above. I'm sure you can spend a bit more and do better, but this is good enough for me. Certainly way better than on CPU, but I'm running an i5 4590. For awhile I was running the Docker version of deepstack and getting about 350 on medium...

    What card can help with deepstack?

    Update: I bought the card linked. On medium settings I'm getting around 150ms, on high about 250ms. This is much better than before, I am happy. My old 4th gen now sits happily between 10% and 20% CPU almost all the time, might go to 30% on detections. I expect to get at least a couple more...
