    Unsuccessful logins Alert

    Thanks for this. I didn’t know that messages from the alert window can be sent to devices/email-this will be very helpful. I already have my BI to ban unsuccessful logins from IP’s after a predetermined amount of tries. Also, thank you for reporting this bug to Ken. I am going to play around a...

    Unsuccessful logins Alert

    Does anyone know of a tool, or a way natively to send alerts (email, etc.) for when someone tries logging into BI via web browser or mobile app that are unsuccessful? I've looked into BI Tools as well as the options inside of BI, but I haven't seen anyway to do this. I was just curious to see if...

    Nest Cams all dropped signal

    The RTMPS URL can be determined using Microsoft Edge. Go to your public link from the Nest camera in Edge. Right click on the video stream in Edge and go to inspect element. Copy the entire https URL. It should look something like this: "stream-us1-alfa.dropcam.com/nexus_aac/Unique Identifier"...

    Nest Cams all dropped signal

    My 2 Nest cams and my Nest Hello are still working in BI. Check to see if you RTMPS URL has changed. This has happened to me before.

    Nest Hello - fps

    The frame rate is set by Nest. I have two nest cams and a nest hello doorbell and my FPS is typically around 15 FPS for these cameras. Are you using the RTMPS URL to download the stream from Nest to Blue Iris? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5.0.3 - New Edge Vector Motion Algorithm

    I agree about edge vector missing people; I had a guy come to my front door yesterday that BI missed (with edge vector enabled). I have the most recent update as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5.0.3 - New Edge Vector Motion Algorithm

    I’ve had edge vector selected on two of my cameras for several days now, but I haven’t seen a major decrease from false alerts. I currently have only one zone set up, zone A, because I use Sentry to filter alerts. How do others have their zones set up that have had success with edge vector? i.e...

    Your thought on the new feature: Daily Smart Report

    Sentry does not currently alert for vehicles. They are planning on enabling that feature soon, I believe. For vehicle detection, I use Sighthound Video, which triggers BI via wget. You could make a clone of the camera(s) that you want to be triggered when a car pulls in and not enable Sentry on...

    5.0.3 - New Edge Vector Motion Algorithm

    I updated BI and changed the motion algorithm from simple to Edge Vector on 2 of my cameras. I will update everyone in a day or so to see if false positives have declined.

    Not triggering when I run across the yard. What setting to change?

    Try to adjust the object size exceeds to at least 50-60%. Right now the motion trigger gets reset i.e. doesn't trigger if an objects exceeds 10% of the frame

    Home Assistant Receiving Motion Alert From Blue Iris

    Just wanted to provide an update. I was able to get BI to alert Hone Assistant using MQTT. What I was missing was the MQTT configuration in BI....face palm Thanks again @TonyR for suggesting the BI and Home Assistant integration guides. One of the guides showed how to configure MQTT in BI...

    Anyone running a Intel NUC Kit (super micro computer) for Blue Iris?

    One thing to also note that the NUC's have a mobile CPU in them, so they lack CPU power compared to a desktop CPU.

    Home Assistant Receiving Motion Alert From Blue Iris

    Thanks @TonyR Unfortunately I’ve been through most if not all of the articles. I think that I figured out what I need to do. I believe that I need to setup a webhook in home assistant, which will allow blue iris to trigger an event to have Alexa announce when a person is spotted at my front...

    Home Assistant Receiving Motion Alert From Blue Iris

    Looking for advise here. I was able to follow this video on how to make Alexa work as a media player in Home Assistant. I also created a card to send text to speech to Alexa. I am having trouble getting it to trigger or execute however. What I'd like to do is to have an http command sent to Home...

    How do you enable Intel Quick Sync in BI v5?

    The easiest way to see if quick sync is working would be to disable it, restart the BI service, monitor CPU to see if it changes drastically. If it does then you know that quick sync was working properly. I have another install that I upgraded to V5 that has a quick sync capable CPU and quick...

    What firewall are you using?

    I believe that you can run a ping test from within the camera UI. I believe that it’s under the network portion. You can just ping 8.8.8.8 to see if it can get out to the internet. Conversely, you could also set up SMTP on the camera and use gmail or outlook.com to see if you can successfully...

    BI and Facial Recognition?

    I believe that Sentry AI is working on facial recognition. I'm not sure how many iterations before this capability is included with Sentry AI, but I believe that it is on their road map. This would be the best route to go with since Sentry is already integrated with BI. @varghesesa any update on...

    Has anyone seen that BI supports Windows 7 again? I just received an email from BI going over the new features as well as stating that Windows 7 is supported again. Just wanted to pass this along.

    Opinion on my outdoor weatherproof set-up

    That is a pretty awesome setup, @bigredfish Are you doing battery backup too for power outages? It looks like you just have everything connected to a surge protector.

    Using cameras as motion sensors to turn on lights

    Have you given Sentry a try? They have AI for human detection that is very accurate. I get almost no false positives now that I use Sentry.

    What firewall are you using?

    The Untangle interface has gotten better in recent updates, namely with version 13. The free offerings have decreased, but are still good enough for basic UTM functions. They have a home offering for $50/year, which unlocks the full functionality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
