I am having the same issue. How did you fix this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! :)

It's a Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12, it's 7 years old and so I don't think it has AI. I was considering CodeProject, but then I have to get a new PC because my processor is too old. After I removed the Zone H, it seems to be working very well. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that too. My issue is that I’m trying to catch cars, but also people walking and so it’s a bit tricky. Thx again!

Duh, don't know why I never read that before. That makes perfect sense as to why I'm getting these "Motion H" triggers. Thank you so much!

Just had another trigger, an Amazon driver pulls up and Blue Iris catches him crossing many zones and triggers appropriately with ABCDH. Then, the driver gets out of the car and is definitely only in zone H and Blue Iris triggers again with "Motion H". It is not a big deal this time because...

Often Blue Iris indicates that a single zone causes the motion trigger. It will sometimes show something like "Motion ABC", which is how I intend it to work, but other times it will shows simply "Motion H". Based on how I set up Object Crosses Zones, I intend it to only trigger if an object...

I have some home automation software run this twice a day, which is the only time mine loses focus.

I emailed Ken and he confirmed that the Object Size Exceeds percentage refers to the "Total Image Size", not just the active pixels. Hope this helps someone in the future :)

As I'm playing around with it more, I think my issue had to do with profiles. I have my profiles set for each camera from commands sent to Blue Iris from an outside program...seems like when using Test Run Through Motion Detector, it is running through my Profile #1 - Blue Iris's default...

giel - thanks for the reply. Have you used the feature and if so, do you use it with a clip from a previous alert or do you use footage from 'continuous' recording? Trying to figure out why it's not working for me :)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I get a clip generated by sun/shadows activating the motion detector on a cam. I have the rectangles turned on and so I see the location in the image where the motion is taking place. I replay the clip, and select "Test Run Video Through Motion...

Duh, thank you sooo much!! I have been using the App for years and I guess I have just gone blind to what was staring me in the face :) It works perfectly!!

I have two of my cams set to Continuous Record and also motion trigger. Many times, the cam does not get triggered because of the balancing act that I have to play between too many triggers and no triggers :) I can easily view the triggered clips in the App. Is there anyway to view the...

Anybody ever hear back definitively from Ken on whether this refers to the 'frame' or the total of the zones? I think that Blue Iris ignores areas that are not in Zones and so if you don't create a large mask zone - then I'm thinking that it is only going to take into an account the pixel...

Thanks for the reply fenderman :) I tried a global schedule override, but that did not work. Could it be because I don't use a global schedule, but rather select the global profile via a http command? I would use the global schedule, but I don't think there is a way to select the profile...

I can use an http command to change the global profile, but how can I do it for ONLY a specific camer? I tried the following and other variations with no luck. Is anyone doing this? http://IP:Port/admin?camera=SideYard&profile=6&user=XXXXX&pw=XXXXXX...

Looking for creative? or attractive ways to light up our Cul De Sac to get better color night video. What have you done to light up your Driveway & Street? Thanks :)

"And he" should be "Andy"

I don't have a link, and he send it to me via Skype. I can try to email it to you if you would like.

MIke A., ...So, I guess the big question is: How do I illuminate the street better without flood lights on the front of the house? Humm

In the picture, I switched the Camera to Manual so that the setting options should 'in theory' match the setting options on the Z12. Actually, I have it set to Auto because when I switch it to Manual and enter a shutter speed like 1/1000, or even much less, I can not get the image to look...

I was hoping to improve the quality of the night video - I am using it in Color mode because I want to be able to see the color of cars or clothing on people for identification purposes. I guess I'm thinking that with a higher aperture value, the image may be clearer? I have tried all of the...

The options are "Auto", "Gain Priority", "Shutter Priority" and "Manual", no Aperture Priority :( - none of them give the Iris slider, just the Auto Iris on/off I think my real issue, is that I need more light in our cul de sac, but I don't want to put big flood lights on the front of the house :(

I purchased a IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 and the Iris adjustment is a slider that can adjust the Iris from 0 to 100. I also purchased a IPC-HFW5231E-Z, but that Iris adjustment is simply Auto Iris "On" or "Off". In speaking with Andy, we assumed it was because they had different Firmware versions and so...

on the IP, do you have your port #? Not sure if that makes a difference if you still have the default port, but I had changed my port and so my line looks like: http://USER:THEPASS@192.168.1.191:3669/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocus&focus=0.778333&zoom=0.865225 If you copy and...

I just had the same issue and thought I would post in case others had as well. After spending an hour reading posts and making changes...turns out, there was no issue at all - I access my server that hosts Blue Iris with Secure VNC. Well, I was on my laptop and I thought I would access the PC...

Figured I would post this in case it is helpful for anyone determining how often they need to refocus.(It turns out that my camera really does not loose focus very often.) You have to have AutoHotKey installed. Place the code in a text file with an .ahk extension. The code will check the...

Thanks! Zoom will definitely be in the correct position, so its just the focus that seems to change...is there something that physically moves in the camera when it 'focuses"?

Go3Team, I understand that...but I run windows and so I will have to use different code...and so I'm wondering if it is necessary on my system to do the "check" portion of the process. And is it harmful to the Camera to "set" the focus this many times...or is it any less harmful to use the...

I'm thinking that I'm going to have to reset focus to proper number periodically too. Does anyone know if there is a reason that I should "get" current focus first, compare it to my desired number and then reset the focus as opposed to simply sending the reset focus command without checking...
