In case anyone comes across this thread, this is what curl commands worked for me: curl --anyauth -u "admin:<password>" "http://<ipaddress>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting\[0\]\[1\].Mode=Auto" curl --anyauth -u "admin:<password>"...

This command worked perfectly with my Dahua Color-X 4K camera. This is how I run it with curl: curl --anyauth -u "admin:<password>" "http://<ipaddress>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting\[0\]\[1\].Mode=Auto" Thank you very much.

You can use an executable command like curl to submit the http calls. I got curl as part of the cygwin package.

Hi @actran. BI5 has the ability to run a number of actions on Alert: None specific to LEDs though. I will check other threads.

Hi, I have 9 dahua-ipc-color4k-x-dh-ipc-hfw5849t1 and they are amazing in many ways. The LEDs are bright too. Only problem is, it does not seem to be possible to turn/them on based on a motion. The Auto choice turns them on all night. I would rather not keep them on all night and I think it...

Hi, I just can't figure this out. I record "continuous + triggered" but in this case I want to playback triggers/alerts only, one after the other, and skip non-triggered recordings. [Edit: The are no duplicate recordings, alerts go to Database only] Can it be done? Thanks!

Eventually I decided to start from scratch and erase my previous recordings. Something odd though, my disk space recordings jumped in size by a factor of almost 10. I think the Continuous recording in combination with exporting events as mp4 must had been recording live at sub-stream level...

The first step went as expected. I Switched all cameras "when triggered add to alerts list" to "Database only" and the Events icons on the left of the UI are still there and all is working the same. I then pointed my Alerts folder (which should be useless now) to the first drive, formatted the...

Sounds great. I will switch to "Database only" and will reformat the whole drive with the mp4 Alert files. By the way, I will also increase the cluster side to 1MB which should help all kinds of ways.

Thank you @wittaj. Just to confirm. I can switch from "Export to MP4 files" to "Database only" and I will not loose the incident markers for the duration of the 24/7 recordings? Will the incident markers continue to appear when I select the "Alerts" menu to the left of the main UI?

Yes, I think what you say is what I want. By saving markers I meant to save the incident points so they show up on the left sidebar. Now I see them when I set the menu to "Alerts". I don't care about saving the mp4 files of the Alerts since the first few months are in the 24/7 recordings anyway...

Hi, I have been very happy with Blue Iris for over a year now with 9 4K cameras. My original setup was a 14TB drive for 24/7 and a 14TB drive for Events. All in full resolution. But problems are brewing. The 14TB of Events smells trouble. One problem is the number of files which will exceed 1...

@bug99 did you even figure how to get rid of the 3000 files without disabling the nice view of Events in the UIs. I would think that is the whole point of the "Database only" option.

@bug99 I have 800K files (mp4) in my alerts folder and normally things work perfectly: I have 5 months of Continuous recording and 18 months of alerts video all in H.265 (I use Export to mp4 files). In the the BI UI and iOS app I see all the events. Excellent. The only problem is when I upgraded...

Similar question but for Alerts: Can I use subfolders for alerts? This would be amazing if I could use it for alerts too (I currently have 800K alerts in a single directory): %Y%m\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S Thanks, Thanasis
