    SD59225U factory resets with power failure...

    I've had this camera for many years. Recently it's been rebooting randomly on a pretty frequent basis - sometimes in as little as 2 minutes. While reboots are not unusual (it's always done every once and a while), the loss of time, presets, and any other configuration variables is new. I've...

    Integrating Blue Iris, Pushover, Node-RED, and Amazon Rekognition

    I am using the HTTP REQUEST node to GET URL http://BISERVER/admin?camera=a248&trigger. When I put that URL in a browser, it triggers just fine. And it USED to work fine as a node in HASSIO. But sometime this month, it no longer worked. Instead, I'm getting a debug payload: And it...

    Anyone seen the IP4M-S2112EW-AI Amcrest/Dahua camera in the wild?

    I'll take what I can get :) I actually ordered it when it was released, but then got cold feet. I probably will end up buying if the reports continue to come in positive.

    Curious how your night performance is. Can you send a couple of captures?

    It showed $219 when I looked at it, but there's a 10% off coupon... that's what gets it down to the advertised price.

    Anyone seen the IP4M-S2112EW-AI Amcrest/Dahua camera in the wild?

    Yeah, I really just need it to be able to ID people at my gate, and communicate with them. When UPS/FedEx send sub drivers who don't know the gate code (or who struggle reading the instructions on the gate), it'd be nice to give them verbal instructions... First world problems. I have plenty...

    I think that's a different model. No optical zoom...

    Well, I'll take one for the team. Just ordered.

    I just receive a promo email from them... Looks compelling for sub-$200. https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-Motorized-Detection-Intrusion-IP4M-S2112EW-AI/dp/B0C32MQ38Y I like the wide field (2.7mm) and two-way audio for gate use...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Many months ago, I (and others) was experiencing green video for some reason. At the time, the workaround was to disable hardware acceleration - which I did. That is apparently a global setting on brave (that gets applied to all profiles). So switching profiles, using private tabs, etc...

    Yes, that does seem like a bit of a conundrum. Short of being able to force a static arrangement of cameras in a group, whereby the last row of cameras is above the toolbar controls, I can't see of a one-size fits all solution. I thought maybe a different gesture could bring up the hidden...

    That would be just like the BI app. It, too, won't let you swipe left/right to get to next camera/group unless fully zoomed out. I'd take that as an option if you're willing to make it available.

    If you're open to enhancement requests, I have one too :) When I'm looking at a group view (especially all cameras), I cannot select the bottom two rows of cameras since the toolbar pops up. Oddly, sometimes, when the tools are hidden and I tap one of those cameras, it punches through and the...

    Lately my client PC running Brave and UI3 238 begins pegging my CPU for the tab that has UI3 open. It's quiet for the first minute or so, but if leaving any active UI3 tab open, the CPU fan starts to prepare for takeoff. SOunds like a hairdryer. It didn't used to do that. Maybe it's time to...

    Pretty sure that was my last order before switching to all subsonic. I'm running Remington .22LR 40gr Copper Plated Hollow Point Subsonic ammo now.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    If I keep the stock 25 rd mag packed, I usually get a single failure to feed using the subsonics. I haven't fired bulk HV ammo in a couple of years, and honestly cannot remember having issues with the stock mag. I did buy some aftermarket mags, and had all sorts of issues with them, so I've...

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    I've been interested in the 300blk but haven't had the time to do much research. I like the concept of a heavier subsonic round to up the kinetic force at impact. Thanks for the nudge.

    Home Assistant (HASSIO). TBH, I'm not that well versed with it. My brother helps me get it tweaked. It's running on a virtual box (vs. a Pi).

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    Yes to both of them. The PTP is much easier, doesn't require tools and has a single, full length aluminum baffle. The RDS is a series of aluminum cups, but requires a spanner tool to unscrew.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    I guy out of Ocala, FL built this one for me about 10 years ago. It's all legit - had to get a trust, do the NFA tax stamp and wait for the form 4 to come back approved - I think it took just under a year to complete the process. It's a simple design, no Nielson device, so it'll only work on...

    BTW, not a cat has been back since that last shot... Hopefully it took a dirt nap, or it has decided the price to prowl is a little too steep.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    S&W M&P15-22. Shooting 22LR subsonic with a suppressor. Super quiet. Downside is, unless it's a head/heart shot, it won't be a clean kill. The suppressor will fit my AR-15 (.223/5.56) but the 3000+FPS round going down range is loud enough to wake my kiddos (and neighbors). Just too loud...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I just wanted to concur that once you have it configured correctly, it is wonderful. If you're not proficient with command line stuff, it's a bit of learning curve. But it's worth the effort. I had to push through. One step I missed that caused me all kinds of grief was turning on the...

    So apparently he added his PC's LAN IP address to the allowed whitelist on an older PC that was recently upgraded to new hardware. BI must cache the MAC addresses of the IP's in the whitelist. So the IP no longer matched the MAC of the new PC. He deleted it, and it started working again...

    The very next night, a bobcat came back to the same spot (video of cat at coop door shows the size). It was significantly larger than the one in videos above. So I am certain it was not the same one. Fortunately, I was able to take a shot that resulted in the same type of reaction (cat...

    He has a nonstandard port. It's been that way for years with no issues. Both internal and external use the 8882 port. It is this way to prevent brute force attempts on standard ports. It really cuts down on attacks. Good eye... Keep in mind it is only this new client Win 10 PC that is...
