    Missing zone crossing...

    I have a couple of zones on my LPR set up so when a car or plate passes, I get the alert as well as the direction (B-C, C-B etc...).. This works pretty well. I have an issue occasionally where the trigger happens late. Put in a feature request to have AI test images PRIOR to trigger as well...

    Blue boxes with yellow outline in AI window.

    Can someone tell me that these two blue dots with yellow outlines mean in the AI window? I am not getting an MQTT message here on this alert, but it seems to be reading the plate. When I get a green check mark-- (second picture) I get the message....

    Improved triggering and detection....

    So not sure if I should post this in ALPR or AI. Figured here would be better. I am detecting cars passing and reading their plates. I am also using zones to determine direction. I have Zone A cover the whole area for detection. I was using zones B and C split down the middle. I'd trigger...

    Images going to AI have yellow around them-- obfuscates detection..

    So I am getting some poor AI detection despite having some pretty damn crisp photos of some plates. This first picture- a plate when by and it was missed. If you look at the Alert AI-- the image is in yellow and it doesn't get read. Picture 2 is the same frame paused.. The AI is able to read...

    AI works in debug but doesn't log it.

    So I am getting great shots of cars coming up the road. This is an Amazon truck with clear plates that it somehow missed. Weirdly: I am playing back this video with AI debugging and in the right window it shows the plate, but on the left window I don't see it in the log on the left. It shows...

    Not getting all the triggers...

    So I noticed that my camera is not triggering on every car that goes by. I changed the trigger to be super sensitive. The car at the end went by while I was doing full video record. No trigger. I tried edge vector and simple triggering. I just switched to B&W triggering. I seem to be...

    IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E dialed in for night

    Just dialed in my settings for night time once again. Pretty damn happy with these ones.... Figured I'd share for anyone with a setup close to mine. The IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E. I am noticing my camera occasionally goes out of focus. I have it on manual. I set it to night and day using the http...

    Defrag

    So I was noticing that my clips in the UI were taking a LOT time to load. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Yesterday, I logged in in the machine and did a disk check. It was healthy buy it was about 50% fragmented. I kicked off a defrag and this morning my clips load instantly. Just...

    Attic Video

    I put a couple of cameras in my attic because I keep seeing mouse poop but never caught a mouse. Caught a few videos like this....

    Suggestion for camera in attic.

    We occasionally hear scratching on my attic. Wondering if there is a good camera to put up there to maybe see if I can help narrow it down for the pest control guy. Maybe a PTZ with zoom that operates in night mode almost exclusively. Tracking might be good too. We recently replaced our...

    Switching to night mode...

    So I run the Dahua sunrise/sunset service to switch the cameras to/from night mode. It works ok. I use BI tools to append the solar radiation I get from my local ambient weather station. I noticed that day vision is ok down to about 5-6 watts per square meter, and then I'd like to go to...

    5.7.7.7

    I just wanted to share a feature of the latest update for Blue Iris that I find AWESOME. It hasn't hit to documentation yet. I emailed the developer this request and he incorporated this pretty quickly. If you use MQTT, the web post or some other export function: the motion &TYPE field will...

    Direction of motion on detection...

    I am wondering if there is a way to get Blue Iris to report/alert the general direction of the object which caused a motion trigger.... Like if someone is generally walking left to right, or right to left? Or up and down? Or any number inbetween? I have codeproject AI running as well. Best...

    Camera mount- lock in....

    I have a couple of camera mounts (Dahua and another IR mount) that are add odd angles. I can go and move them around a little bit by hand... I'd like them a little more secure. I was wondering if there is a way to more permanently tighten them up. I have been thinking perhaps some super glue...

    CodeProject 2.1.0..

    CodeProject 2.1.0 just got pushed to docker for ARM. I don't see a Windows version yet. I am pulling it now to my Orange Pi for testing. Figured I would start a new thread for this version...

    UI3 reports 99% disk usage... Perf Mon says 15-20%

    I checked the forum and didn't see anything related here. I looked the UI3 and the App on my phone and it says BI is at 99% disk usage. Performance monitors says BI as at 4.0 mbps of disk usage and overall the disk usage is at 15-20%. I might guess that BI3 is reporting backups to my NAS...

    Downloading update... no progress...

    I just logged in to my BI machine and opened the app (usually runs as a service). Usually I do an update and close the app. Now when I open it, it says downloading update on the bottom but doesn't progress. I don't know how to kill the download.

    5.4.9.18

    I have two instances of Blue Iris running in two locations. Both running 5.4.9.18.... One of them has one camera and runs fine. The other one has maybe 8 cameras and I notice the memory usage creeps up over time. It is a 32 GB machine and BI will take up 85% of the usage. I haven't...

    View camera on managed BI install though the web

    Hi, I just installed another BI machine to go at our other house over the VPN. This is working fine, and I can select the site in the BI app. Now I am on the UI3 interface-- is there a way to see that camera/those cameras pointing to the main server? When I run the app, it will default to...

    Possible Memory leak

    I have approximately 12 cameras in BI with BI tools installed with mostly Duhua cameras. All direct to disk-- using substreams. Backups are to an on network NAS but the direct to write disk is local. Release 5.4.9.16 Everything works great-- for a while. When I started BI it sips maybe...

    Windows 10 Pro box hangs every 10-14 days or so...

    So I have a machine I built with spare parts from my old server to run Blue Iris. It is built with what should be highly reliable components. A SuperMicro Board, A XEON processsor with an Intel graphics, ECC memory and a RAID 0 drive. I installed Windows 10 Pro and I run BI, BI tools and a...

    POE splitter- Recommend some debug tools/methods for me

    I have a cat 5e wire that runs to a generator about 50 feet from my house. It was a spare from when they installed the generator. I put a keystone on it and pulled it into my POE switch and got a Dahua camera operating on it just fine. Previously, I had a POE powered ethernet switch out there...

    Export multi day

    Hey, I have been reading the wiki and the instructions: but I seem to be stuck on something which I though was simple. I live on a fairly sleepy road and apparently a car got broken into within the past two days. I am trying to take one of my cameras and just drop all of the alerts from those...

    Geofence on multiple locations

    Has anyone set up Blue Iris to have more than one geofence location? With IP Cameras, the camera could be very far apart, and possibly I'd like to have my wife and my offices in there to set up profiling...

    Recommendation for camera-- 100 feet away or so

    Looking for a camera recommendation to mount on my generator in order to see my kids playground... about 100 feet away. Something that can focus variable at that distance you be great. PTZ would be a plus-- but not a requirement. I have one of these...
