    About models in use

    Your screen capture looks very different to mine, what version of BI is this? I see you have default object detection checked, I don't... I haven't tried using that yet

    Best of luck, sometimes these issues are fiddly to track/fix!

    About models in use

    OK, I hate it when I miss the obvious... :lmao: The custom model field in the static object analysis window was staring me right in the face and it was blank... I had filled it in the previous dialog for Alert Confirmation but not in the Static Object Analysis one... I will try and change it...

    Upgrade goes to error?

    Note that the update function on CPAI 2.6.5 will fail. I had to go to the other URL, the one I posted, where I downloaded 2.8.0 and then installed that. About your system, I am not familiar with Mint. Mine is running a very barebones Windows 10 with nothing else except BI and CPAI, a few...

    Upgrade goes to error?

    Found myself in the same spot a few days ago... had a look around on the forum and discovered updates can be found here now... https://codeproject.github.io/ I went 2.6.5 -> 2.8.0 and today to 2.9.4 I don't know if I was very lucky, but all went very smooth PS - as to CPU usage, it depends...

    About models in use

    Not sure if this has been discussed already, search didn't find anything. Running BI 5.9.9.9 and CP AI 2.9.4 & YOLOv5 6.2 BI is configured as shown: I have never been able to change this list. Now on at a camera level, it is set like this - as far as I understand this should indicate to...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.9.0

    Just in case it is of use. Updated from 2.6.5 to 2.8.0 and subsequently to 2.9.4, always simply ran the installer and chose the option to remove previous. Installer takes its time, but no errors and all is working fine

    Just wrote to BI Support to request some clarification - I will update here when I get a response

    About shield & camera pause vs triggers...

    @wittaj as always thanks for your fast response! I'm still not a 100% sure though... 1. A logged trigger shows as a bolt, and in the case of the red shield it shows as an "i"... 2. In any case, if the trigger is recorded, and I set up immediate pre-alert actions then those should happen even...

    About shield & camera pause vs triggers...

    I’m starting to suspect there is yet one more thing I don’t quite understand about how Blue Iris works… According to the help file: In my case, I configured it this way: So, in theory, triggers should be active even when the shield is not GREEN. I picked a camera and configured it to be...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    Well, I have another 4 Dahuas of the same model, and 3 Hikvision. All are configured the same in terms of network, encoding, etc. All the Ubiquiti links are configured the same too... The throughput on all the links is way below the maximum capacity... I think something is going on with what the...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    So, all cameras are running H264 to make things easier on the processor. No cameras have ROI enabled. The particular Dahua camera has Smart Plan enabled and one intrusion zone. I tried disabling to see if that had an effect, but it doesn't. I have also done a few more changes: On the cheap...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    The link is surely not the issue, as I tried the opposite. Disabled the Dahua and left the two cheap ones on, and they both are stable at 15fps on both main and sub streams

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    I was just looking at the camera now, and with the cheap ones disabled it still seemed a little unstable... I wonder whether maybe it's a lot simpler and just a failing camera...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    So I had a look at a clip recorded with that camera and it exhibits the same behavior. The fps (I have an overlay to show that) jumps around between 8ish and 20ish and the recording is, of course, choppy. I checked the rest of my cameras and recordings are stable at around 15fps and smooth. I...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    @wittaj @bigredfish thanks! Both of you seem to think that the issue could be around network traffic… I thought so too, but as I mentioned traffic is around 14-16Mbps on a link which is capable of a lot more… I spent a while observing it on the ubiquiti device manager, and it wasn’t really...

    Unstable FPS depending on what cameras active

    Context: 3 IP cameras using one point-to-point Ubiquiti radio link. 1 camera is a Dahua IPC-HFW2431S-S-S2 (4MP) and the other 2 are cheapo Nivian cameras (5MP) which will be replaced soon with decent cameras. All cameras running at 15fps, keyframes 15, H264, the Dahua at CBR 6144, the other...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    I think I will reach out to IMOU and see if they can provide any info... I suspect it could be corrected in the firmware but I also know they would prefer their cameras to be used via cloud and their app... Here is what happens in my case, I have ONVIF device manager and SmartPSS side by side...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    You can find it here, after selecting your camera in the list of cameras on the left - you need to provide your login credentials to the camera(s): It's the option you see in red "Video Streaming": Once you click on that a window will show the stream and some parameters at the bottom: The...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    For me, I have even tried removing the camera from BI and after connecting back with SmartPSS the following day (despite no reboot) the frame rate and iframes have still reverted. But only for the main stream. The change occurs in the camera itself, BI only receives the stream it sends... I...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    I had already set it like that using SmartPSS, but I just checked again to make sure, and it is set to never Auto Restart. I have a suspicion the frame rate and iframes reset when the camera switches on the IR. I have my profile set to "regular". I will dig into the profiles a bit and see if...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    Sure @wepee So, for the IMOU Rex-3D (3MP), the network IP camera configuration in BI looks like this - it seems to work fine selecting Ranger 2C RTSP (except for the framerate / iframes caveat but that is not a BlueIris issue, it would seem more related to the firmware/configuration of the...

    Dahua IMOU camera owners, please share your information here! Thank you.

    I haven't seen this camera model mentioned previously, so I thought I'd share. IMOU Rex-3D (3MP) - works with BI (bidirectional sound, ptz and settings, with a few caveats) How I added the camera to BI: Connected camera to power and LAN Used Dahua config tool to locate, initialize the camera...

    Do some Dahua cameras actually switch properly between night and day?

    Yes, right now in Spain they can be bought for around 85€... as overview cameras I find they are ok

    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    Maybe a better idea. I only start ngrok when I am away and need to access (a bit of a convoluted way, but it works for me: I use Alexa on my phone to run a home automation event in Homeseer which starts ngrok), and usually stop if afterwards for security concerns... I have never tried running it...

    Do some Dahua cameras actually switch properly between night and day?

    After reading a few threads on recommended settings for day/night on Dahua cameras, I configured a couple of IPC-HFW2431S-S-S2 as follows: Day - 0~4ms gain 0-30 Night - 0~8.3ms gain 0-50 I've been observing the stream in BI during the day and night, as well as recorded video, and it would seem...
