    When space is left between zones, does not trigger motion detector

    Actually I found out A>B, B>C means A to B, OR B to C. Is there a way to do A to B, THEN B to C?

    When space is left between zones, does not trigger motion detector

    I'll probably try A>B, B>C since I just want to know if someone is approaching my front door.

    When space is left between zones, does not trigger motion detector

    I have rule set to A>B, but if I leave a gap between zone A and zone B, I cannot get it to trigger no matter what settings I tried (travel distance, make time, break time, etc). I want to create a space between zones to eliminate false alarms caused by clouds moving, car's headlights, etc. Is...

    Save PTZ presets from Blue Iris?

    The problem is I cannot RDP into my BI machine externally, and if I want to manage presets away from home, the only way I can get in is via the Android app or the web interface. Neither of which supports saving presets (there's no button to push, it's just a selection list of presets). Of...

    Save PTZ presets from Blue Iris?

    Certainly that can be done but that requires access to the camera's own UI to save the presets, meaning I need to open the cameras to external access. Really trying to move away from opening up each individual camera to outside access to just have them be accessible from BI. I personally do...

    Save PTZ presets from Blue Iris?

    I have a few foscams that support pan/tilt. I cannot figure out if there is a way to save a preset within Blue Iris (either from the Android app or Windows UI). I can go to a preset just fine, just cannot find a way to save it. I saw this post from 2014 but the steps didn't work for me...

    Cannot do full screen in Chrome and how to improve quality of overview page

    You are a lifesaver! I had to select my custom grouping called "outdoor" and adjusted the resolution to 1280 x 720. It is now looking so much better!

    Cannot do full screen in Chrome and how to improve quality of overview page

    I'm trying to run Chrome on my BI server to Chromecast to a TV in my master bedroom. However, the BI web page in Chrome lacks the full screen functionality (In IE you can do full screen). Is there a way to get around that? I want my TV to only display the cameras with none of the alert boxes...

    Do I need to pay another $9.99 to load BI on a Fire Stick?

    I will try that. I've never owned a Fire Stick so I wasn't sure if they have that ability or even has a File Manager I can use to access the apk file.

    Do I need to pay another $9.99 to load BI on a Fire Stick?

    Given that I already have a license for the Android BI App for my phone, if I want another copy of it to load on a Fire Stick for another TV, do I have to pay another $9.99 for it? Is there a way I can re-use the Android app I already paid for?

    100 Disk Utilization

    I noticed my BI server started to run sluggish, so I went into task manager and noticed the disk utilization was 100%. I then went into the recorded clips and noticed all of my cameras had tons of dropped frames. CPU utilization was only 18%. I restarted my machine and the issue went away for...

    Alert preview images do not show up right away in camera view

    If it has been a while since I log onto the mobile app, when I log in, the list of alert images do not show next to the cameras. I have to toggle between the Alert view and the camera view for them to show. But if I log out and log back in immediately, they would show right away. Is it...

    Images in BI emails don't show up correctly on Android phone

    I know this is not exactly related to the BI App but I couldn't find anywhere else to ask this question. So I am having some issues with my Android phone loading BI email alert messages. The first few emails would load just fine, but then all of a sudden none of the images would show up for...

    Am I paranoid to think camera software makers could store all of our credentials?

    I just tried TinyCam and it's so much better than IP Cam (which I have used for the past several years). Thank you for your great work.

    Am I paranoid to think camera software makers could store all of our credentials?

    Am I the only one who is somewhat paranoid by all these 3rd party camera apps (IP Cam Viewer, TinyCam, etc.) that know all your camera passwords. How likely is it that the developer somehow stores all of the credentials for his own viewing pleasure? Anyone else has such a concern?

    4.3.5 - May 5, 2016

    I really like the new clip storage graphs. I always wondered where the unallocated free space went but now it's very clear.

    NVR unable to stream 15fps videos to BI server

    Inside Params, if you want the Main stream, use subtype=0. if you want the Sub stream, use subtype=1.

    NVR unable to stream 15fps videos to BI server

    I record using both the Q-See NVR and BI. You seem to have a newer NVR so it might have a gigibit port and might not run into the framerate issues I'm having. I can post my settings if you need help connecting to your Q-See NVR from BI.

    Upon exiting geofence to switch camera to certain preset and start recording?

    Is there a way to tie a preset of a pan/tilt camera to a profile so when that profile is active the camera will point at certain location and start recording? Reason is I have two indoor cameras and when I'm at home I have the preset point them at the ceiling. However, I want to have them...

    Motion triggered outside of zone

    So I just updated BI to 4.3.4 today and I changed my motion settings to use high definition and gaussian, with "use zones and hot spot" turned on. Soon after, I noticed the following triggered event. I then played back the video and noticed it got triggered by motion outside of the zone. Any...

    Getting frustrated with v4 motion detection

    Thanks. I will try the new v4 update and fiddle around a bit more. However, I can say with certainty though that I haven't missed many valid events in v3. I know that because I got alerted every time I came home, out walking with the dog, or Fedex dropped off a package. Definitely way fewer...

    Did your public IP change by any chance? Could you get to it from within your local network?

    Getting frustrated with v4 motion detection

    I just upgraded from v3.66 to version 4 a few days ago (same settings) and have been getting a ton more false positive motion alerts. I fiddled around with the motion settings but still couldn't get it to be as precise as v3. I see in v3 there's only a checkbox for object tracking, but in v4...

    Testing out Zones for motion alerts and it's not working

    Does that number next to the Min Object Size slider mean anything? Seems too big to be pixels.

    using motion detectors to turn on lights

    @wilric, can I just use a regular z-wave motion sensor to detect motion on my driveway and trigger an event that way? Seems to be a lot more work to hook up a non-zwave driveway kit up to door sensors to trigger events.

    NVR unable to stream 15fps videos to BI server

    Do I then just plug the 4 cameras into the POE ports, and then plug the BI server and NVR into one of the non-POE ports?

    NVR unable to stream 15fps videos to BI server

    So I should just get a POE switch and record using BI and forget about the NVR that came with the cameras? Is there a POE switch you recommend?

    NVR unable to stream 15fps videos to BI server

    I have a Q-See NVR with four 1.3MP cameras connected to it. I also have a BI server running on a i7 machine. The NVR is connected to the BI server via a gigibit switch. Here is the problem: The NVR is having trouble streaming 15fps videos to the BI server. I get dropped frames at 15fps. If...
