There is an issue that I keep seeing every time I try upgrading to a BI release higher than 5.7.8.3. On these newer releases (and I’ve tried most of them, including 5.8.9.3) after an AI confirmed alert is logged the alerting camera will often appear to freeze in the BI Console for a period of...

I've got about a dozen outdoor cameras, but all but one of them, my IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E, are turrets. The Z12E is the only camera that ices over every time we get the least little bit of freezing fog. I have to blame the bullet format, not the location, as the Z12E is mounted on a post with a...

Can anyone explain which Dahua events are classified by BI as ONVIF events and which are classified as External events? When I look at ONVIF events in BI, only one of my cameras has any events, All the rest of my Dahua camera IVS or motion events seem to show up as External events. I have...

For quite some time I've been noticing issues moving from one alert clip to another within the Android app. I had sort of ignored it, thinking it was an issue peculiar to my older phone, but after a recent upgrade to a Pixel 2 XL running the latest Android OS, BI Android app, and the latest...

So a couple of weeks ago the first IP camera I ever bought, a Foscam 480p Pan Tilt camera finally died. Although its image quality was horrible, we actually made use of it for several years as a way to look around the ground floor of our vacation home when we aren’t up there. My first...

I think this makes 7 sightings so far this year vs 6 for all of 2016.

The fox is having a great time, and the dog is getting a great workout.

This capture is kinda interesting... Got an alert from BI and managed to track a couple of elk with the MiniPTZ, controlling the camera from the iPhone app. I also appended a clip from my Hik turret. It gives you a good idea how much stronger the IR in the MiniPTZ is.

Spotted this moose in time to capture some footage with the Mini PTZ V1. (A bit long, even after cropping out some of the footage where he was hidden behind trees.)

I've had my IPC-HDW4421C for almost a year now. I set it up in August of last year, and have had it working under Blue Iris ever since, and have never applied a firmware update, or really had any reason to go in and tweak settings since then. Today I wanted to increase its frame rate, and...

We've see what appears to be the same bear around our mountain home a couple of times... BTW, the lady in the clip above isn't as careless as the clip seems to show. I cut out about a minute between the time the bear exits the screen, and she shows up. He's not actually trying to get into...

I wasn't expecting to see this capture from my front porch cam...

Excuse the motion blur... The camera had only just switched to day mode. There really wasn't a lot of light for the camera to work with.

I recently purchased a Gadinan “Starlight” 2MP camera with the IMX291 sensor http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gadinan-Starlight-PoE-IP-Camera-Color-0-0001Lux-Ultra-low-Illumination-1-3MP-SONY-IMX225-2MP/32596562519.html The vendor has a number of pictures of the camera in their above post, so I...

If you are squeamish you may only want to watch ~ the first 45 seconds of this...

I'm having trouble playing back alerts from the Android app, and I'd like to find out whether others are seeing the same behavior. First off, let me say I'm not a huge fan of the changes in how the Alerts window works since the recent changes that split the window into "New By Camera" and "All...

For our mountain home, I want to install one or more of the mini PTZ cameras, but I wanted something that blends in a little better than the camera's white housing does. I decided to give Plasti Dip a try, and was pleased to find that the local Pep Boy's auto parts store carries Plasti Dip. I...

After seeing more than one person mention that they have seen “white flashes” from their 4mp HikVision cameras, I’d like to start a new thread that is dedicated to that single issue to see whether we can nail down what is common to the ones that have this symptom. I’d like to ask the members...
