    I replaced all 11 of mine, completely worth it! @EMPIRETECANDY will take care of you like he did me.

    No mistakes so far. S3 AI is working exceptionally well! This new firmware version has been rock solid, thanks Andy!

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Yes, I'm finding that I much prefer the camera AI over CPAI now that I can target animals as well.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Yes, your instructions above are working great for me! Much appreciated. On-board AI is faster with notifications as well compared to CPAI. I have an Amcrest doorbell camera that doesn't have IVS rules, that's the only camera left of my 16 that will still be using CPAI to confirm person alerts.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Anyone here really compared the quality of detection for people and vehicles between the onboard AI from the 54IR and CPAI? I'm really looking forward to not using CPAI. Testing is going well with the camera IVS. I'm trying to figure out if just drawing an intrusion box set for appears/cross for...

    Mine triggered on a bird on the ground. It would be good to find out a list of animals it detects.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Gosh, I'm missing this. Sorry. I know how to set up multiple IVS rules in the camera with one using human and vehicle and a completely different on using animal only. If they're both active then if the animal only rule triggers overnight, how do I tell BI not to alert on that one?

    So if my IVS rules have human, vehicle and animal as targets, I'll get critical alerts overnight for animals which I don't want.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    @actran and @wittaj I appreciate the replies. I just tested and have camera IVS triggering BI. Like I said, I'd like to forego CPAI, but I don't think I'll be able to completely. Currently with CPAI, I can confirm an alert in my overnight profile so I can use the CRITICAL alerts for iOS for when...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Thanks, I'm familiar with setting IVS rules in the camera. I already have that set up for saving snapshots. What I'm trying to do is to get the camera IVS to trigger BI.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Andy sent me the V3.142.0000000.0.R, Build Date: 2024-05-16 firmware to test last week. I installed it on two cameras with no issues. I was really forward to using the Animal detection for IVS rules. It's working out great! Right now, I use IVS rules on each of my 11 54IRs to make a snapshot...

    Multipule Motion SnapShots...

    Go to the Record tab and set BI to make JPEGs (Checkbox) when triggered and select how often it makes a Snapshot. You'll need to define the folder where these are stored in BI Settings -> Storage tab.

    Blue Iris Clips showed up as a single clip yesterday, now show up as 100 different clips?

    Is it happening for every camera? If it's just one, is it a wireless camera? If wireless and the signal drops, every time the camera goes offline and then comes back online, a new clip is created.

    I really like my Amcrest AD410, but I'm ready for a PoE option

    Thanks I just started reading that thread. I saw where it doesn't have WDR or BLC etc. This would be a deal breaker for me in my location/FOV. Maybe it was addressed and I haven't gotten to that point in the thread.

    I really like my Amcrest AD410, but I'm ready for a PoE option

    Something that's a similar size to the AD410 that support PoE is what I'm looking for. Also, it needs to work with Blue Iris. It's been a couple of years since I looked into doorbell cameras. Would appreciate any replies that can suggest PoE options. I pre-wired this area with the expectation...

    UI3 timeline controls

    @bp2008 I checked the UI3 help file but didn't find keyboard commands for navigating the timeline view to quickly jump from one alert to the next. I know I must be missing it, just need help finding it. Thanks!

    Continuous Sub + Triggered storage requirements

    If I have 16 cameras all using substreams with D1 (704x480) resolution, using Continuous Sub + Triggered, would this calculation be somewhat accurate? The Equivalent Bitrate number does seem to change when I select different resolutions.

    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    Yes, before I tried it on my cameras, I watched that video. I would agree that on some of my cameras and specific lighting conditions, the result looks a little unnatural, which I accept as the point of using the setting.

    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    I have several new cameras from Andy and they are awesome! Tremendous upgrades for all my cameras from only 3 years ago. A new to me setting available is SSA backlight. My FOVs almost all include areas of bright sun and shade due to my surroundings. Selecting SSA seems to really improve the...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    It works reliably but it's just tedious to set the times month to month considering the different sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. The API calls allow you to automate the Day/Night switch based on the sunrise/sunset... daily. I ended up giving up on the API calls since using them...

    @wittaj I think I'm getting the zones better dialed in. Curious why it shows Motion_ABC when I'm using zone crossing B-C?

    Zone settings help

    It's a 54IR. The onboard AI misses as well. Turning the camera to the left won't help. Large shrubs completely obscure the street. However, this may be something self-inflicted. I spent this afternoon trying to use B-C zones and I'm getting zero triggers. For example, the zones below don't...

    Zone settings help

    I have a challenging situation. In the yellow area, I'd like to trigger/alert vehicles. It's a narrow window in the FOV. In the orange area, I'd like to trigger/alert people and vehicles. I typically use 2 zone crossing for triggers, but the vehicles are generally fast moving and I'm missing...
