    How is a VPN more secure than port forwarding?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't VPNs require port forwarding as well? Can't you just set a strong password for Blue Iris instead of having to go through all the challenges with using a smart phone + VPN + Blue Iris? The app is already problematic enough without the VPN (sometimes the app...

    UI3 - Click anywhere to begin streaming

    This prompt happens because autoplay isnt enabled for the site. Just happened to me now and this fixed it. Its not a blue iris issue, it's just how websites and browsers interact these days.

    Why doesn't Blue Iris sell hourly consulting services?

    I'm using code project but I can't figure out how to ignore static objects on my ptz cameras that use patrol zones. That's my current dilemma. Their support is also crickets right now which means I probably asked them (I mean "Ken", the only guy there apparently) too many questions. This is...

    Is it possible to set up zones for a PTZ that is on a patrol zone?

    I want to set up trigger zones on a PTZ that is cycling a couple presets in my backyard every minute. The problem is I don't think BI is capable of understanding which preset the camera is in when the patrol zone is done on the camera end. Btw Why is the screen blank when selecting the preset?

    Why doesn't Blue Iris sell hourly consulting services?

    This software is so complicated and hard to set up properly (as in not getting false AI detection constantly) that they can probably give away this software for FREE and then charge $100 an hour to set it up! They would probably be making a killing off of that. I mistakenly bought the...

    Need help setting up static object analysis

    It looks like I had to hit the analyze button and wait a few seconds. Here is what came up. Did I do this right?

    This is all I see when configuring static object analysis. Am I missing something? It's just a blank screen

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    Because that is their "official" group, so by extension all of those mods are official voices of the company.

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    Look at how the reolink mods talk. Then Google "ipcan talk" and look at the hilarious interactions with Big Mike. I will give him credit though. In most cases the person he is arguing with is usually a dumbass, but I think a little compassion goes a long way whether you are running a reddit...

    Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

    Here are the ads in the app I am refering to. There is also an annoying orange dot on the menu bar which notifys me about the reolink captures which I also find annoying. Notification badges are supposed to notify users about important things, not stupid contests or whatever. My main deal...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    Even with my PTZs zoomed in a little it still has false motion detection triggers, mainly when the PTZ moves from a patrol zone, it will detect a tree or something as an object. Right now I am using these settings for the motion trigger and AI. About to give up on the AI alerts because it...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    I'm still getting false AI alarms when it rains/snows. And also it is detecting trees as objects as well. If I set the confidence up to 75% to filter this all out, then it fails to detect when there actually is deer. It seems the code project AI is whack because it is detects deer and snow as...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    That did work but am having trouble with the AI alerts. As you can see, it thought I was a DOG. I tried using the multiple alerts before actions feature but it doesn't seem to work as anticipated. When walking near the camera for a minute, it does not ever fire the action for the push notif...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    Thanks. I'll see if that also works for the push notifications too (so I can have the alerts register at lower confidence while only getting notifications for higher confidence)

    Pet detection ONVIF event is missing from Reolink camera

    The problem was I didnt have custom models checked in the AI settings. I am still getting a lot of false alarms, too many to want to set up push notifications. It is detecting things like small trees as deer and people. I am worried that if I set the confidence level to 90% it will filter out...

    Can I set different confidence levels based on object types?

    I am running Code Project with the ipcam-combined model. I want deer alerts to fire when they are 90% or higher confidence and then I want person alerts to fire when 70%. Having different sensitivities for AI objects is how nearly all native camera AI works, but can't find a way to do it here.

    In UI3 I am receiving new, unconfirmed, alerts in the side bar that I don't want

    I don't like receiving these alerts in the side bar that notify me about motion detections. When I reload the page they disappear. Why am I receiving unconfirmed alerts temporarily like this? I only want to see new alerts that are confirmed. With my PTZ cameras they make a lot of motion...

    Pet detection ONVIF event is missing from Reolink camera

    I ended up giving up because I need AI alerts anyways for pet detection on a couple of my cameras that dont have it built in. I was able to get Code Project installed, but the website shut down when I was still setting it up. Can you tell me this is set up right to detect animals like deer...

    Should we be uninstalling Codeproject and moving back to DeepStack?

    I just set up code project last night and was baffled by the fact that the website went down when I was in the middle of the setup guide. I don't see any option to set up any other AI. What is the alternative?

    Pet detection ONVIF event is missing from Reolink camera

    I am having trouble getting pet detection alerts to work on Blue Iris. I am getting the push notifications on the Reolink app for this events, so the camera is configured properly. But there is no event in the list for pet detection. Should I give the code project AI a try at this point?

    Quirk about UI3 interface

    Correct. That's why these are called "help forums" (although this site is more of a troll forum but I digress). But you offered advice which doesn't make any sense and won't explain yourself other than to tell me to read the manual... So it sounds like you either don't know what I am talking...

    Quirk about UI3 interface

    So it sounds like you don't actually know and want to put the responsibility on the user to find this information themselves. I already asked chat gpt (I attached the manual and told it to scan through it), and it was not of any help. The only relevant sounding setting is the double click to...

    Quirk about UI3 interface

    I want to select a channel with one click, and be able to use PTZ and adjust volume from the home layout screen. This is how the main Blue Iris interface is. One click selects it, double click maximizes it. In UI3 one click maximizes it and selects it. When I minimize the channel, it is...

    Beta firmware for Reolink 842a and 823 16x cameras that have the delayed live feed issue

    Here is the firmware I got from Reolink that fixed the delayed live feed issue I had with these cameras when using either Blue Iris or even the official Reolink app for long periods of time (I have an android view station with the live feeds running non stop). Posting here instead of this...

    What Hikvision series camera would work best to capture vehicles (not license plates) at night?

    I already have LPR cameras from Hikvision with the ANPR technology built right into them. Now I want to see the vehicles driving down my road (even at night) so I can see what the make, model, and color of the vehicle is. I also want to be able to get a good shot of the driver too during the...

    Blue Iris wont run as a service - password issue

    Had same problem. I had to enable the actual built in windows administrator account, set the password, and use that. My local account would not work. The service would never start automatically.

    Reolink PTZ Torture Test

    I'm gonna be running it like this until it dies. Will let you know in a couple months when that happens. Also before you ask thats not weed. Those are 100 privacy shrubs that will grow 10 feet tall in no time. Been having issues with animals eating on them.

    Camera is disabled or not connected. Error code iVMS-4200.Video.C.exe[1602].) on Hikvision IVMS Client

    So I keep getting this error message every time I startup the client. Then after a couple seconds everything loads in. It only has a couple cameras connected to the NVR and I already reset it and reinstalled the client. Is this just how Hikvision software is?
