motion

In the camera/Record menu I have Jpeg snapshot set up to record every 2 seconds when triggered and this works well. However the resulting images show the bounding box and blue squares on the section of the image where motion occurred. This makes it difficult to identify the person causing the...

Hi! New to this forum. Please help. Anybody know if Hikvision NVR's can be set to have a motion alarm triggered for two time periods in one day? i.e. 7PM - 8AM overnight? From what I can tell, I can only go from 7PM to midnight each day, but I'd like it to continue throughout the next...

Do you recommend continuous recording or just motion events? When I was mucking with NestCam it recorded continuously and it set markers that allowed a quick scrubbing of long videos and it was easy to save a clip. So, what do you recommend? Currently I’m running SecuritySpy on a Mac with...

Hey guys, I was wanted to pop in here and share my experience with some new led lights I just picked up off Amzn. I recently installed 2x 2mp Dahua Starlight cameras over my driveway to watch my cars. In the pitch black they didnt show a ton of detail even with the IR lights provided in the IP...

Hi to everyone, I have a Revotech Fisheye 2MP IP camera and I'm trying to send motion alerts from the camera to BI, I don't want to use motion from BI because it doesn't work fine. I have 30 IP cameras working with BI, most of them are Reolink and every camera sends motion alerts to BI, this...

I have configured BI (version 4) to record continuously. I would like a snapshot of motion so I can breeze through pics for any triggers that look of importance. Under the Camera Properties "Record" tab, I have checked "Only when triggered" next to JPEG snapshot each (mm:ss). Problem is, it...

Hey guys, I've been running BI for several years now and have started slowly adding more cameras to my setup. I'm thinking about adding a few Dahua starlight models based on everyone's high recommendations here. I would ideally like to setup these new cameras for full time recording as well as...

Hi all, Have a weird one here that is puzzling me. I have the 5231R-Z and set to record on motion and always record. That way if something happens, I can zoom into where the motion events were marked. I know IVS is probably the better solution but....it works for now. My neighbor bought 4 of...

First off, I figured this topic was better suited for "General Talk" than "Troubleshooting" as I don't think this is a problem but more of a misunderstanding of the BI software. So I hope I choose the right forum. Alright so I've been trying to tweak my outdoor Amcrest camera (IP2M-844E) to be...

I am currently using I-Spy and it has the option to alert when no movement is detected. I use this to monitor Fan Blades and I need to know when they stop moving. I have tried the below settings which in theory should work but it does not. Alerts "Wait until Triggered at Least" Set this to 0...

Hi, this might be a silly question but is it possible to record continuous in BI but also mark on the timeline where motion occurred or something similar. I like to record continuous as I've had problems in the past with it not triggering. It's not a huge deal as I have plenty of space to...

Hey guys, I'm doing a trial of blue iris (will most likely end up buying once i get this motion stuff working), and I've run into some issues with the motion detection and recording. Long story short, I have a couple hikvision cams running blue iris on my windows 7 media center. I downloaded...

Where is the API for getting notifications for motion and other events from Hikvision cameras? I have a whole lot of DS-2CD2142FWD-IS units. Google search finds other people looking for the same thing, which is how I found about ipcamtalk! There is some python and node.js code out there, but...

I'm saving logs to file, but I have a few cameras that trigger every couple of minutes, and they're polluting the log. Is there an option to turn off logging on motion?

I've been trying to update the firmware on a Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2. This version was purchased directly from a distributor in HK. - so yes it's an "import" - but it's an English Version - and I can find no Chinese anywhere (so don't know if this is what people call "grey market"..) Current...

I have 6 active (8 total,2 are hidden) cameras on Blue Iris. Currently the 6 all show equally on the monitor. I would like to take ONE Primary camera to display Full Screen constantly, but have ANY of the other cameras cycle to full screen on any motion detection for the duration, then back to...

I have two Dahua IP cameras recording to a Dahua NVR (software running on a Windows box). When motion is detected on one channel, all channels record a motion event for the exact same time window. There is absolutely no overlap in coverage between the two cameras so it's not like they're...

I want to trigger a sound file to play on a speaker like "hey get out of here" or siren or a strobe, or all three. How can I trigger all these? Most use 12v, so I need a relay and something to trigger the relay based on motion detection from a camera connected to BI. What is the best way to...

Hi guys, I'm new the the forum. I have a hikvision DS-2CD2032-I. I have the camera set to record motion at night on a schedule. Ideally, I'd like to toggle home/away mode for motion detection easily through my phone. I tried the ivms software, but it doesn't seem to have this ability. Can I...

Hi I'm trying out Blue Iris to see if it can replace my NVR's and it's working pretty well with just one exception. I'm trying to set up 2 profiles, one that records on motion trigger at nighttime (Motion) and one that is constant record (Constant) at daytime. I would like to have a single...

Hi. I own a DS-2CD2142FWD-IWS, and in "Storage > Schedule Settings > Record Schedule" I don't understand the difference between Motion and Event. Isn't Motion an Event? I have the S version, can I hook up a PIR sensor? Is having a local microSD card better or using a NAS drive? It seems like...

I've got a DS-2CD2432F-IW that I'd like to upload an image on motion detection to my FTP. I know that my FTP configuration is working as I was able to test it successfully (the directory got created and the test file put on the filesystem). My problem is that I've got "Upload to FTP" checked...

Good morning, I have three different installs of BI currently. All is working quite well. I am looking to set up some profile work. Here is my question (as the profile part is a bit confusing to me): I have a PTZ auto tracker which monitors an entrance to an area. I have it set to record...

I just setup BI today and most things are working well. However, I keep getting files labeled as "Motion" and it gives a length such as "10sec". Then when I click on that file it is just a still image and not a video. I have the JPGs showing up correctly. Then I get the bvr files which seem to...

I Know that motion tracking is still under development. I thought about a possible feature My PTZ camera monitors my warehouse. Actually is under the "auto cycle patrol" (I love this feature). All my people use the same color hat/uniform. What if MOTION TRACKING could be also for a specific...

Hi all,I'm running Blue Iris as a service. It's definitely running (I've checked task manager) and it's using 25% CPU so it's definitely doing something. Howver, it's not generating any alerts (i.e. it's not recording on motion detect).When I run the console, it all works as it should.Any...

Hi, I'm setting up Blue Iris for a friend, he has 4 Hikvision IP cameras. So far I've installed the trial version of the software and got it set up to record on motion detection, and send an email with 4 images in that are spaced 2 seconds apart. The motion detection aspect of it is working...

Hello! Anyone know how to access the Dahua cameras motion detection? Like with the hikvision you can go to /IO/outputs/1/status/ to get the xml etc?!?!?!

Hello! I have a bunch of Dahua cams that are ONVIF 2.4.1 and I can't seem to get the motion detection portion to work using the cameras motion detection and not BI motion detection. How can I troubleshoot this exactly? thanks....

Hello @all. Sorry for my bad english first. I use some DS-2CD2332I ad I´m very happy with it. Now I want to integrate the cam in my homeautomation system (eq.3 Homematic). I want to trigger the cams for a record if some Homematic sensors (Door/window sensor, Motionsensor) detect a action...
