    Auto Track on Schedule

    Hi All I can see in the IVS setup for Tracking that you can track without presets, but it appears to either be ON or OFF, no schedule. I'm trying to auto track in my presets on Cycle, but only after business hours (using BlueIris) Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

    Using Cameras to trigger lights in BI - false positives

    Hi All, Im having a reoccuring issue in that the lights will come on due to motion detected by the camera (great) but when the lights go off, the contrast change, I assume, is triggering the lights to go on again. Ive played with object size and contrast but making them less sensitive stops...
