    Alerts aren't being created when camera is triggered

    I think I got this corrected. On my AI settings I had "Canceled Alerts: Move To Canceled Alerts List". I changed that to "Canceled Alerts: Remain On Alerts List" Thanks for the help!!

    Alerts aren't being created when camera is triggered

    Yep, BI is triggering using motion. I get high res video for all motion. I'm trying to use AI for alerts but it isn't adding the alerts to my Alerts tab.

    Alerts aren't being created when camera is triggered

    Here is my record tab. After switching the AI to "none" per The Automation Guy's recommendation I did get an alert from the camera when it saw motion. I'd like to keep the AI so it will only trigger for cars, people, etc. Are there settings I can change on the AI screen to fix it?

    Alerts aren't being created when camera is triggered

    I have 17 cameras on my BI system. If I manually trigger any of the cameras from the BI dashboard it will create an alert in the alerts menu on the left side and in the BI app on my phone. But no other alerts are created. The cameras are definitely being triggered. I have it set up to record the...

    I'm looking for a dome camera better than 4K

    Yep, right now it just reads my house cleaner's plate. It has a condition to only trigger on the days and times she is scheduled to be there. It also sends me a notification on my phone with a snapshot of the camera so I can confirm it's her. The notification also has an action button I can...

    I'm looking for a dome camera better than 4K

    Thanks for the feedback! I do have a 2nd driveway camera, but it's positioned to only catch license plates as a car enters the driveway, and they aren't great. I use Home Assistant to read license plates in order to open the garage door based on the plate and other rules. I'm looking for a...

    I'm looking for a dome camera better than 4K

    I currently have Amcrest 4K cameras on my house. They are good, but I'm wondering if there is something better. I particularly would like something better for my driveway cameras so I can read license plates more clearly. Here is what they currently look like. Does anyone know of a camera...

    Blue Iris computer becomes unresponsive but Blue Iris still works

    I think I ended up solving this, it's worked for a few days now. I think the issue was my drives were getting too hot. They were running around 135-140 degrees (f). I tried spacing them apart and got it down to 117-125. Then I added a 120mm fan in front of the drives. That brought it down to a...

    Blue Iris computer becomes unresponsive but Blue Iris still works

    I have Blue Iris installed on a headless Windows 10 machine that is mounted in my server rack. When I need to do any configuration or access the machine I just use Google Remote Desktop to remote in. A few months ago I started having an issue where the Remote Desktop connection wouldn't...

    Triggered video no longer storing in separate folder

    Hmm, this might be leading me to my problem, I always had these videos in my alerts folder. I see now that they are jpg Motion but when I click on them they play the high res video. There alerts are now gone. If it matters, and it probably does, I'm using deepstack to trigger the recording...

    Triggered video no longer storing in separate folder

    I recently updated to 5.5.4.5 and I think it broke something. I record in "continuos + triggered" mode on all my cameras. Previously, my continuous video recordings (sub-stream) was being stored at Blue Iris/New and my triggered video stream (hihg-res) was being stored at Blue Iris/Alerts...

    Audio on triggered alerts seems to be tied to pre-trigger buffer

    I record continuos + triggered. So I won't miss anything. I prefer to use the deepstack to trigger because it also triggers a binary motion sensor entity on Home Assistant. Just to test if Deepstack was involved in my problem I disabled it. The problem still exists without deepstack.

    Audio on triggered alerts seems to be tied to pre-trigger buffer

    I'm having issues with the audio on my alerts being off I'm using Deepstack to identify a person, I trigger the camera if it sees a person. If my pre-buffer trigger is set to 5 seconds then the audio on the alert recording is off by 5 seconds. If I set the pre-trigger to 1 second the audio is...

    High CPU and memory Usage

    Yeah, I need to look into it. I kind of hastily added the integration in order to test using camera motion to trigger motion in Home Assistant. I don't really need camera streams in Home Assistant. I can probably find a better way to send motion alerts, probably through MQTT. Oddly, I deleted...

    High CPU and memory Usage

    I found the culprit. I have Blue Iris integrated with my home automaton system, Home Assistant. Disabling the Home Assistant user in BI dropped my CPU usage to 2%. I'll need to work on limiting the resources that Home Assistant is using.

    Can I "teach" deepstack?

    Deepstack is pretty confident that my neighbor's tree is a person. Is there some way that I can tell Deepstack that this is a tree in order to improve its analysis of objects?

    High CPU and memory Usage

    How to chose separate Alert drive folders

    When I view my cameras on the web viewer I have a drop-down on the left with a list of my storage locations. New_1 and New_2 record the continous for the cameras, half on New_1 and half on New_2. But on all cameras all my alerts with motion video are under Alert_1. I was trying to make it so...

    How to chose separate Alert drive folders

    I have two drives on my BI PC. I created 3 folders for each drive in my clips and archiving settings. My cameras are all set to "continuous + triggered". I then set half the cameras to record to "New_1" and half to "New_2". My problem is that ALL my alerts (recordings due to motion) are...

    Can't enable Geofencing in BI app

    Thanks, it's good to know it's not just me. I'll open a ticket too, maybe that will help speed it up. The geofence isn't working on my phone, you can see in my screenshot above under the geofence column it is blank.

    MQTT Alert works with manual trigger but not motion trigger

    thanks for the reply, jaydeel. I went through your solution and it wasn't the problem. But, I figured it out after that. On the alert section in the camera settings (screenshotted in my OP) I had to click "motion zones" and select "any" from the drop down box to the right of the zones.

    Migrating from Blue Iris 3 to Blue Iris 5

    I have an old system still on Blue Iris 3. I built a new computer and installed Blue Iris 5 on it. Is there a way to transfer all my settings from BI3 to BI5? I've exported my settings from BI3 (settings>about menu). But it exports as a .reg file and doesn't do anything when I try to import it...

    Trouble connecting over HTTPS using Stunnel

    I'm trying to implement Stunnel so I can connect over HTTPS, mainly so I can cast my video feeds on a chromecast device. I'm having trouble getting it to work. It seems like the connection between BI and Stunnel keeps closing right away. Here is my BI config and the error I'm getting on my...
