    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    Except there are no alerts or clips at the moment. Unless you are going all UniFi cameras of course

    Good call. Makes sense. That’s what I want sure of is if there was any lens shifting.

    Is the near lens of this capable to cover an entryway while the other 2 do long distance duty or is that too close?

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    I have the old gray version that has to be managed with ie. So this is just newer, but similar capabilities

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    Nice. I like the apparent dark capabilities. I have 2 5442 and they are good, but it could be better. Is the IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 a newer/better camera for night captures?

    This is the 5442 or is this some new version?

    Auto Renew

    Ah. Thank you. That makes sense. Expired this week, so it’s been at least a year.

    Auto Renew

    Did something change? Was running smoothly for 2-3 years and suddenly I am expired. I do not see any purchases, so I am trying to determine why it may have stopped. I know in the past it was like 32$ and now it is 35$, so if anything they want you to re-join? Just curious before I go making...

    G4 Doorbell vs Reolink

    Ah yeah. Saw your post. Makes it tough to knock it. It’s a doorbell and the quality is good enough. Would the gains of the UniFi be worth it. Especially if it is going to be sensitive to heat.

    G4 Doorbell vs Reolink

    The reolink seems to get some love here and unifi is just plain expensive. I actually have the reolink currently and it is fine, it works and sends the feed to BI. I probably turned off phone alerts, because it never notifies me any more, so probably best to disable the internet access all...

    No alerts when "cameras in group are triggered"

    It is possible I do not understand the setting, but in the camera config, under alrert, if I select "cameras in group are triggered" I do not get any alerts and nothing is recorded. The only recordings I see are the continuous recordings. If I change the setting to "this camera is triggered"...

    Monitoring and alerting

    Yeah, just more the windows services and making sure the web UI is always available. I suppose something like smokeping should technically be capable of checking uptime.

    Monitoring and alerting

    I am aware of the service that monitors the bi service and can restart it. But is there something that can monitor the web endpoint? Seems my service is running, but I cannot actually connect to web ui. Would there be a way to get alerted or run a similar service restart when this becomes...

    IVS Trigger

    got it, I will move to not over lap and see if that helps. never considered the idea I was maxing things out. or maybe even confusing the camera. you are right. the mailbox is more a daytime thing.

    IVS Trigger

    top right box captures cars driving past but mostly interested in the mail man and amazon who already once hit the mailbox smaller box to the left detects cars coming up the drive but I have considered its removal. the large box with the zig zag is the main one I expect to capture folks...

    IVS Trigger

    I am trying to sort that balance and also getting good zig zag detection. Sometimes I see it trigger on the camera other times not. sometimes I’ll see an object enter undetected but leaving it it triggers.

    IVS Trigger

    I will play with the two and see what it does. I think the biggest thing is that using ONVIF means making sure your triggers are triggering properly

    IVS Trigger

    Looking at my camera settings. Checking Motion means BI and AI detection and if unchecked, checking ONVIF says use the camera only? Silly question, is there an ONVIF with AI mode? Or is that too good to be true? UI3 is great on the computer. Less great on my phone. At least in my...

    IVS Trigger

    thats pretty impressive. We will call that the more advanced bit. I read in another post of yours that you do 24/7. Do you record 24/7 in HD (main stream) or do you utilize the secondary stream for that? Also, when you mention scrubbing video, is it a constant effort to be reviewing footage...

    IVS Trigger

    curious, tell me more about the process of knocking out head,llight shine. perhaps that too is where I am a novice at best. setting different settings for different cameras and properly handling scenarios and specific use cases

    IVS Trigger

    Are IVS triggers better than using the AI in BlueIris? Or do they compliment each other? Asking as the IVS triggers I have may not trigger consistently. person walks through the zig zags and it is not till they hit the 3rd or 4th zag that it lights up on the camera. Only asking as I want...

    When will we escape internet explorer?

    Yeah, no idea what is involved, but IE, the plugins, etc to manage the camera is sometimes frustrating. I manage and accept it, but was more curious if it was ever a possibility. There is the obvious requirement of new firmware, but overall as to what is required to make it a reality, I have...

    When will we escape internet explorer?

    I was curious. With IE, dead and out of support, will cameras move to supporting newer browsers? Windows 11 completely drops IE, so eventually we will need an alternative, right?
