    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    I disabled ONVIF authentication (in Network -> Access Platform for my cameras) so I could access the camera via ONVIF Device Manager and set the time there. Now I can't work out what's going on. As I write this, it's 11:54 AM here. Enabling the "Automatically adjust for daylight saving time...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    It looks like the cameras are using UTC even though they have the correct time zone set. The authentication issue happens in ONVIF Device Manager too.

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    I started seeing this too. I checked that the time on all cameras is correct - The cameras sync their time using the NTP server on my Windows Server 2022 VM that runs Blue Iris, so they've always got exactly the same time. I also checked that the DST settings on the cameras are set correctly for...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    I get very few false alerts with smart motion, and I use CodeProjectAI with a Google Coral to avoid them.

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    I found it easier to use Node-RED than Home Assistant for camera notifications. My flow is pretty basic but you could do different things depending on the camera. This is how my MQTT payload is configured in Blue Iris: Topic: BlueIris/&CAM/alert-image-b64 Payload...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    Hmm, I'll have to double-check, but I think the Dahua person detection does fire this ONVIF event. Do you have both "Video Detection" and "Smart Video Detection" enabled on the cameras? BOTH have to be enabled for it to work - it won't work with just Smart Video Detection enabled.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Frigate uses "tiny" models and a lot of people still find value in it. Some even use Frigate and BI concurrently for whatever reason.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I haven't measured the temperature of mine but I don't think they get too hot. Idle power consumption is ~400mW and maximum is 2W, so there shouldn't be a lot of heat to dissipate. If you look at table 2 in the data sheet: https://coral.ai/static/files/Coral-M2-datasheet.pdf It shows that the...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I've got the dual-edge one: https://coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu/ I use it with this PCIe adapter: https://www.makerfabs.com/dual-edge-tpu-adapter.html Works great. The two TPUs are exposed as two separate PCIe devices, so you can use them in two different VMs if you wanted to.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    My guess is that the Coral TPU detector is using a smaller model size. You can't change the model size for the Coral at the moment, but my guess is that it's using either a tiny or small model. Frigate uses a tiny model and thus is much less accurate with its default config. The API is...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Even though DeepStack support in Blue Iris is deprecated, it still works even in the latest version.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    The Coral USB should work in a VM. The M.2 Coral definitely works - I'm running Blue Iris in a Windows Server 2022 VM running in KVM via Proxmox. Works fine.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I use Node-RED for my notifications and it works well. The function node is: I like it because you're not restrained in what you can do compared to configuring alerts in a UI. It's just JavaScript code so you can easily modify the code to do whatever you want.

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    Ah, OK. Thanks for the info! I ended up switching to using &JSON instead. Here's my JS code that I use in a Node-RED function node:

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    Ohhh! Now I understand. Sorry I misread your comment the first time - thanks for editing it to add more detail. This works. It still adds IsMotion="true" to the memo in some cases (which I really don't need in there and would like to get rid of), but at least it doesn't truncate the...

    I want the event, I just need the AI detection info for my alerts.

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    I just updated and this change seems to have broke some of my notifications due to the format of the &MEMO macro changing. I have alerts configured to send an MQTT request with this payload: {"id":"&ALERT_DB","object":"&MEMO","camera":"&CAM","name":"&NAME","img":"&ALERT_JPEG"} &MEMO used to...

    NVR vs Blue Iris

    Did you check all the cables coming from the PSU? The SATA power cable might be hiding somewhere :) Just make sure it's a SATA splitter (not a Molex to SATA one - Molex adapters have a tendency to melt) and that it's a good brand name like Cable Matters, StarTech, Monoprice, etc. Don't go cheap...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @bp2008 Is it worth setting up a HTTPS reverse proxy to use WebCodecs? Does it have advantages over the HTML5 player? Let's Encrypt can be used to automatically issue and renew certificates for internal systems (just use a DNS challenge instead of a HTTP challenge), so getting the certificate...

    H.264 vs H264H vs H.265 encoding

    You can go either way. In theory, with H.265 you can either get similar image quality with a lower bitrate compared to H.264, or higher quality at the same bitrate as you were using before. H.264 uses macroblocks but H.265 uses coding tree units (CTUs) instead, which are conceptually similar...

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    It's not really different to WireGuard in terms of how it operates though, is it? I agree with you about ease of use, but WireGuard is similar in that it's also peer-to-peer rather than client-server (WireGuard peers have a list of other peers they can connect to, rather than a single central...

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    You can use other VPNs similarly to ZeroTier. I use WireGuard instead of ZeroTier and it shares some of the same traits, just not with a fancy UI like ZeroTier (on the other hand, WireGuard doesn't rely on third-party services by default) :)

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    It'd be useful to have the option for the experienced users that can configure it, but I definitely understand that it'd be lower priority. I agree with you that it definitely makes setup trickier for the average user. Let's Encrypt has made it a lot easier than it used to be, though! Free...

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    Oh! I didn't know this. There's some code always running in the background when using notifications, true. It's not the entire webapp though - it's just enough code to render the notifications properly. Every notification system needs a constant connection so that the server can push...

    Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)

    I've already got Pushover for various other notifications, so it's good to know I can use it for BI too. They should really add notifications to the web app. Most modern web apps have notifications - even this forum does. I know iOS devices don't support this well, but it works well on pretty...
