    Why doe BI keep triggering new events for static objects?

    Why am I getting new Alerts for the same, static objects? This happens every few minutes for parked cars with no movement of the camera, cars, or anything else in the view? I would only want an alert to be generated for new or moving objects or change of scene. Whatever is the standard practice.

    Time display as a camera channel - is it possible?

    Can you point me to some directions, videos, etc? I do have BI, but have not played with display as it doesn't seem to format the window into something that would be neatly arranged for as TV mode.

    Time display as a camera channel - is it possible?

    Is there a way to display time as one of the camera channels? Perhaps thru RTSP? I don't have a clock easily visible in my office. What I do have is a large TV with 64 channels Dahua viewing 59 active cameras. Which means, I'm staring at 5 empty, block boxes. It would be nice to have one of...

    I'm currently watching the YT on a PC build. Hope to see the actual usage. I guess I'll see in few hours.

    64 random cameras. Stuggling with off the shelf Dahua and Hik-Vision NVRs

    I understand that most people set up home systems with 4 or 8 cameras. I'm not normal, so I currently have 57 cameras online, with possibly 4-6 more getting added here and there. I have a hodgepodge of mainly Dahua and HikVison IP cameras. Currently, I'm utilizing a Dahua 128ch NVR (mainly due...

    Motion events not showing up

    I have a bunch of Dahua and non-Dahua cameras on my NVR708S-128-4KS2. Does the motion detection and thus recording get triggered by the camera only? In other words, can the NVR sense motion detection independent of camera settings?

    Help a newbie with vehicle detection for moving only

    Camera is on default settings. With few changes that I made and one that you recommended, it has gotten much better. Thank You! I will monitor and see if we can make improvements as I figure more things out.

    Help a newbie with vehicle detection for moving only

    Done. Thank you. I also noticed that the AI is confusing a house for a bus. :-) Can I do anything to change that? If not, I'll just uncheck the bus option as we only ocassionaly get school buses on our small residential street, and really don't need to track it anyways.

    Help a newbie with vehicle detection for moving only

    How do I program BI to only track moving vehicles. Right now, under alerts, it lists a "Car:73%". Clip doesn't have any moving vehicles, but there is obviously a parked car across the street which has been parked there since at least yesterday. Also, I tried to exporting the video, but I'm not...

    Which camera for hall mode

    Have you ever done something like this on the outside? I have a dog run that's prewired for it at about 4' mark. I would probably like to go with outdoor rated unit for weather protection, but I don't know if I should just get one of my cameras and put it in it's side. I know BI can do image...

    Which camera for hall mode

    Thank you. I couldn't find this model anywhere in the States or even on Ali. Only the L4 which is a pinhole lens version. I ended up ordering this guy from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C93SGTSP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Which camera for hall mode

    What do you guys use for hall cameras? Regular ones mounted sideways? I have older, analog, recessed, analog, Enforcer camera. It works well enough but I would like to see if I can get it swapped for IP model. What have you used in residential settings for a hall that's 4-5' wide and 40-50'...

    How to send simple HTTP command

    Note to self. Do NOT post stupid questions at 4 a.m., just because you've been up for 20 hours, excited to get this BI working! :) Thanks TonyR. That did it. Somehow I thought that I needed to have something in the payload window.

    How to send simple HTTP command

    To hopefully clarify. I'm trying to fire a command based on Face Detection when I enter the room. I created the SMS event as well, and it works fine.

    Does Blue Iris support multiple camera favorites?

    Even on jobs for clients? I don't do CCTV a lot, but I do sell them from time to time. That's how I ended up with a mixed bag of Lilin, Dahua, HikVision, Luma, etc. Just yesterday, this came in. Still have to install it.

    How do I change the views remotely? Is there an HTTP trigger I can send to PC to change Fav1, Fav2, etc?

    Does Blue Iris support multiple camera favorites?

    I've watched a bunch of videos but none of them show the viewing experience of the cameras as it would be for the end-user (wife) on the TV. I'm going to assume that I can select 10-15 or 50 cameras, and organize them in the order I want, and push them out of the HDMI port to the TV. My...

    Dahua NVR instant backup

    So, back to original question -- how can I record to another storage device, locally on the LAN or WAN?

    Dahua NVR instant backup

    No. They did not. I've never worked on a system that had them installed. Interesting. What do you normally use, in terms of card MFG and size? Are you shooting for just a few hours? Curious based on your recommendations what that would add to the cost of the typical $100 camera.

    Dahua NVR instant backup

    I have a client with a recently installed Dahua 16ch NVR (NVR504L-16/16p - 4KS2E) that had a break-in and perps eventually broke into the equipment room and broke thru the metal cage of the rack mount and stole the NVR. Naturally, now they want an option to also record or instant backup data to...

    Dahua NVR adding hard drive to Raid5

    I just added another hard drive and want to join the RAID5 array. I see the HDD in the list but I don't see a way to add it without destroying all existing data. What I am missing? NVR708S-128-4KS2
