It's sometimes difficult to tell from the manufacturer datasheets. It could be that the alarm output is simply a set of relay contacts with no power supplied from the camera (dry contacts). If this is the case, the alarm circuit would have to be externally powered. I'm sure the contacts would be...

I monitor two different locations using the Blue Iris app on my iPhone. When I get an alert on my phone, it is readily apparent which location it is associated with because the server name is embedded in the alert text.

I fixed the problem by opening the registry editor and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CodeProject.AI Server I modified the ImagePath by adding quotes to the string. Specifically, I changed the ImagePath from this C:\Program...

Thanks. I am not sure which path you are referring to. CodeProject.AI.Server.exe was installed at C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\Server. I'm not sure that's what you are asking, though.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I have installed the CodeProject AI Server on a Windows 10 PC and intend to use it with Blue Iris, but the CodeProject.AI Server service will not start. The Windows system event log showed the error below... The CodeProject.AI Server service failed to...

Well, Spiff. That one takes the cake. I'm still chuckling. There should be an acronym for "bewildered silent blink response" (BSBR), but it would probably never catch on unless you could somehow attach that clip to it. Too good!!

For reference, the RJ45 connectors that gave me trouble were these: Cat6A Extra Large Pass Through RJ45 Connectors | Unshielded I think the problem may have been associated with tolerances in the staggered design. The technical representative at True Cable was aware of the problem and...

I had trouble with some Cat6A RJ45 passthrough connectors from Tru Cable. There was a manufacturing problem with tolerances in the connector that was resulting in intermittent shorting. Tru Cable ended up sending me some standard Cat6 passthrough connectors that worked perfectly. You might want...

I haven't configured one of the Nightcolor cams, but I don't think Smart Supplement Light is the setting you are looking for. Check to see if you have a setting to enable the light under Maintenance/System Service or something like that. For IR LEDs that's where the Enable IR Light setting is...

Ok, after playing around with the playback buttons for awhile, I think I now understand the intent of the first dot on either side of the pause bars. I was trying to just click the dot once expecting to advance one frame with each mouse click. I think the intended use of these dots is to click...

Thanks! My camera has an FPS and iframe of 6. I would expect the clip to advance 1/6 of a second each time I click the dot with a new frame displayed after each click. That isn't what is happening. I must click 5 times before I see a new frame. I'll have to check, but I don't think the time is...

Yes, I had already found that in the help file. It actually takes about 5 mouse clicks to advance 1 frame. I thought maybe there was a way to advance 1 frame each mouse click. It is especially annoying when you are dealing with the lag of working remotely using Teamviewer. Interestingly, the...

I am currently running Blue Iris 5.3.7.4. I have been searching for a way to playback a recorded clip frame by frame. It used to be possible to advance or reverse frame by frame with each click of the mouse button. I have figured out that I can advance frame by frame by clicking a little to the...

I doubt you will be able to see video using Chrome or Edge. Try using Internet Explorer.

I'm not sure why you're getting this error. Make sure you are using Internet Explorer as your browser (not Microsoft Edge or Chrome, etc.). Make sure you are including the proper UserName, Password, CamIPAddress, and PortNumber in your url...

You might try the settings in the attached screenshot. I think our Intellinet cams are upgraded Vivoteks. For username and password, try admin admin.

I am not sure your "Altronix eBridge Cat5 to Coax adapters" will work in this application. At least, I couldn't find any Altronix eBridge devices online that are intended for this purpose. I think you will need a video server in order to provide a url to access the analog cameras. The servers...

I'm not sure the POE Splitter will supply any power to your Dahua camera. I think the power is "split" out to the barrel plug, but no power is supplied to the RJ-45 male connector.

I have never figured it out. I just assume it is firmware related. I can still only get mine to display one of the four overlays at a time.

From What's New 4.6.4 - October 23, 2017: "The camera border will be yellow when the motion detection is paused, such as after a PTZ command or PTZ preset position change."

Here is an excerpt from Blue Iris help documentation. "Use the Object size exceeds setting to reset the motion detector when very large objects are detected. This will help to prevent false positive triggering in the event of scene or major lighting changes."

If you have "Object detection" selected in your "Motion sensor" settings, you may need to edit your "Object size exceeds" setting. I have mine set at 85% because I had the same problem you describe. You will find the setting at Camera properties\Trigger\Motion sensor Configure\Object detection...

Its one strand of a spider's web floating around. I see this phenomenon quite often in the warmer months.

The PTZ Preset bug appears to be fixed in 4.5.3.6.

Update 4.5.3.2 has already been posted in this thread: Locked out of webserver (Connection not private) after latest update? By the way, its a good idea to keep a local archive of updates - especially the ones that you have found to be stable. I'm a little reluctant to pull the trigger on...

The PTZ Preset problem is still not fixed in 4.5.3.5. I have been reverting back to the last stable version (4.5.3.2) until tis problem is resolved.

I have been tryin for a few days to track down the cause of missing frames immediately following motion detection trigger. I tried several recommendations that I found on this site for similar problems, but nothing seemed to help. I finally found a discrepancy in how my Clips and Archiving was...

Dave, I started having similar problems with one of my cameras after BI motion detection was improved awhile back (can't remember which version). This particular camera sits alongside a portion of my driveway. The camera would capture a FedEx truck leaving, which it had completely missed when...

Not sure if this relates to your problem, but I noticed that my cameras weren't switching from day to night. I think this happened with 4.5.1.1. In Camera Properties\Schedule\Event Schedule, I found that the function had been cleared in the "Edit camera control event" window. I had to...

You are correct in your assumption. I manually start the app each time I restart my machine. I keep the app window hidden. Ctrl+h toggles show/hide.
