    Motion Detection - Oject size exceeds

    Camera properties -> Motion/Trigger -> Object detection - Edit: Reset detector when: Object size exceeds Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I have only just noticed this setting. I have however noticed that when the cams switch from day to night mode they no longer set of a motion...

    PTZ presets and motion masks question

    I'm wondering if I'm missing something with the way I'm using motion masks with PTZ presets. The scenario: I have different motion masks for different profiles. I use preset 1 is as the "home" position for each cam. The mask for this position will be different depending on the current profile...

    Snapshot image quality

    I've looked, but can't find anywhere to set the quality of the snapshots taken from a camera's righ-click menu. As it is, they are pixellated and nowhere near as clear as the original image. Under the Record tab for the cameras I have JPEG quality set to 100%. Is there something else I've...

    iVMS-4500 and Blue Iris?

    Just wondering if it's possible to pull in a stream from iVMS-4200 to BI (running on the same machine)? Thanks!

    Hardware video acceleration coming. What effect might this have?

    Sounds like good news to me! https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5907-Version-4-1-9 So, the question is, do we know if this should relieve the CPU of significant load, or won't it make much difference?

    Trigger BI alarm using HikV turret and bullet cams

    I was recently able to set up some Hik cube cams to set off BI alerts using the cameras' PIR sensors (thanks to a link from fenderman). This included setting up an Alarm Output in the HikV CP under Advanced Config > Basic Event > Alarm Output (tab), then selecting that as the "Linkage Method...

    Trigger BI alarm using HikV PIR motion detection

    I'm probably missing something obvious here (as usual...), but I can't get an alarm to trigger in BI using the PIR motion sensor/alarm in a Hik cube camera. The motion sensor is working fone in the camera (it sounds an alarm using the speaker in the camera), and I've tried all the output...

    Using an Alert to wake-up a monitor

    I'm hoping someone might be able to help with this conundrum. I'd like my BI monitor to be able to go into sleep mode, but be waken up by a BI alert. Obviously the usual way to wake up a monitor (Win 8.1) is to move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. So I tried a few different macro...

    Saving custom view/layout?

    I have my cameras laid out in a number of frames, and carefully maneuvered on-screen just the way I prefer. I'm wondering if it's possible to save this layout config? At the moment if I close the frames and return to the normal BI UI for any reason I then have to re-do the fiddly process...

    Text and graphic overlay when exporting from D2D

    Hi, I record D2D, and would like to be able to export clips with the text overlay (date and time). So when I go to export, I select MP4... and tick "Add the camera's current text and graphic overlay". The clip exports fine, but there's not text overlay. Do I need to set an option somewhere...

    A couple of layout questions

    I suspect the answer to these questions may be "no", but here goes anyway: Is it possible to create completely custom layouts (resize each camera/view, and place them wherever on-screen) and keep/save the layout when BI is restarted? With the set layouts, is it possible to "flip" the layout...
