    Coyote nabs one of my chickens - Thermal vs. Optical

    This was captured using the Dahua DH-TPC-BF5421 I picked up last week. I suspected I was losing chickens to predation. It helped justify the excursion into thermal cameras. Given the short surveillance time (<1 min), and the rather difficult location (no clean shot from the house), it will...

    TPC-BF2221-T

    DOH! Rookie mistake... Apparently I have something else on my network that utilizes the same IP. I checked it to make sure no cameras were there (there weren't) but something is responding after changing to a new IP. That explains the intermittent responses. God I'm tired. ETA: The MAC...

    TPC-BF2221-T

    Ugh. Guess it might just be too good to be true. I tried with the source set to 00100/00100. No dice. It's odd because about 1/2 the time ONVIF will pull the full details: And then it won't: I'm getting a socket error 10054/no signal on BI. Bummer

    TPC-BF2221-T

    Well, for some reason my BI is not playing nice with the TPC-BF2221-HTM. I'm getting no signal, despite being able to view it directly on the camera's web page. IP is correct, ONVIF is discovering all features/protocols, but BI shows no signal/socket error. I've not seen that before. Tried...

    TPC-BF2221-T

    Is there a way to tell what version it is (other than build date)? I'd be happy to look harder at it if it's possible. I just ordered a second. Looks like he has 3 left. 7 sold in last 24 hours. I imagine some of that is from here ;)

    TPC-BF2221-T

    Well, I received it. It's unbranded on the camera and box, but the firmware is this: Web interface looks identical to the DH-TPC-BF5421 I bought last week. It came in a sealed bag. I offered $170 on the OBO on eBay and they accepted. So total price w/tax and shipping was $199. They...

    TPC-BF2221-T

    These are sub-$200 "new in box" on eBay. I just ordered one to play with.

    Thermal Grackles in the backyad. Added more T-Birds!

    Man, I am so glad I went with this. I've always wanted to know what the hottest part of my Mastiff was ;)

    Thermal Grackles in the backyad. Added more T-Birds!

    It arrived today and I installed it immediately to view the ingress for most predators. It's only been up for a couple of daylight hours, but I am very impressed. I didn't like the fact that it takes up two BI camera slots, and was happy to see that it does picture-in-picture, overlaying a...

    Thermal Grackles in the backyad. Added more T-Birds!

    I pulled the trigger for one that was 199. Figured it can't be THAT bad. I really just need it to spot coyotes and other predators around my coop. First toe dip into the thermal IP camera pool. I use my thermal scope to pop them regularly so getting a better heads up with this ought to...

    Thermal Grackles in the backyad. Added more T-Birds!

    I'm seeing the 5421 for sub $250 on eBay used. Would you recommend it at this price presuming it's fully functional?

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Ken said that the only files that should be in that directory are text files. Anything else and it'll choke

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Ken replied. Said I likely have something other than a txt file in the logs directory. Sure enough: I must have inadvertently backed up that camera to that directory. I'm guessing you have the same issue?

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Ok, email just sent to Ken. I updated to the latest version (I know, I know, bad to be on the bleeding edge) to see if it's been fixed. But it happened again last midnight. I'll post back when I hear from him.

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    I had to double check. I'm pretty sure that at some point in the past I did save the logs to a NAS, but I must have changed it back to the local drive. Currently the path is C:\BlueIris\log\%Y %m.txt.... so it's most definitely on the OS SSD.

    Nope... Getting them at midnight still as well. I'll send an email to Ken here once I get other fires put out.

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    I changed phones, so I wasn't getting push notifications. Since I have system alerts set to notify when BI has errors, I thought - wow! I haven't had any restarts or errors in weeks! Well, checking logs today, I see both. What is the subject error? And what does "stopping" refer to...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Well, sending just a test message from the command line on the BI machine, it pops up instantly on the browser-client of my PC. The app on the phone, however, takes anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds. Interestingly, if I "trigger now" the BI camera, right after sending a test message, the...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Ah yes, sorry - I was being lazy --- busted! :) No, I have the "wait for process to complete" unchecked. What's interesting is it seems when I'm in the pushover app on my android phone, there is no notification, but when I pull down to "refresh" the list of alerts, it'll show up. I've now...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Ok, so if I'm clear on how to run the command line, I just paste curl.exe followed by the same parm string I have in BI, correct? I'm getting nothing - no errors - and no push. Sorry, I'm a rookie on this stuff

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Yeah, I'm now getting the tests from the pushover dashboard instantly on PC and phone. It's something on the BI side. When I do a "trigger now" it is taking minutes. I'll try the command line now.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Is anyone else experiencing long delays for the notifications? Mine are working, but they're taking upwards of 1-2 minutes to come in using the curl script. It's been working fine for months, but over the last week or two it's gotten really bad. I added the pushover client for web browser...

    Battery powered Vico camera integration with BI... Is it possible?

    I think ultimately that will happen at some point down the road. For now, the urgency was trying to pop what ever is snagging her birds. I'll have to figure out some logistic. We'd have to cross a very wide gravel drive and parking lot that sees a lot of traffic. Can be done, but will...

    Battery powered Vico camera integration with BI... Is it possible?

    Yeah, that's what I figured. But never hurts to ask the experts here ;)

    Battery powered Vico camera integration with BI... Is it possible?

    I know it's a stretch, but if there's any way to integrate this camera, I'd like to give it a go. I needed a quick, simple, dirty way to get notifications for a neighbor's chicken coop. They've been getting some kind of predator that's been picking off chickens. It's probably a yote or...

    New camera added to system constantly losing signal

    Would this explain why suddenly about 3/4 of my cameras had the "enable audio" check box unchecked? I've had to go back and manually turn them all back on again. Audio watchdog was enabled on all cameras. Apparently no global way to turn those off either? I had to edit all 60+ cameras to...

    CodeProjectAI is tagging items twice... Is that wasting resources?

    Great, thanks. Ok, turned on custom models under global, and changed port to 32168. Aside from that, looks good? I appreciate your help more than you know. I'm actually helping a neighbor with improving his AI alerts, so the more I learn here, the better for both of us.

    CodeProjectAI is tagging items twice... Is that wasting resources?

    Excellent, thank you! I added the custom model to the camera's alert/ai setting, and disabled the custom under global. The CodeProjectAI dashboard is very quiet now, despite constant movement on the camera (lots of rain). Is this along the lines of what you were suggesting? Interestingly, I...
