So, I had blue iris 3, and everything worked fine. I don't really ever remember getting alerts for major lighting scenes (sun, clouds, etc).
Upgraded to BI 4, and I am just about ready to rip all my cameras off the house and have nothing. I can't stand the constant alerts, and everything I try does not work.
I have tried:
-reducing the sensitivity (all the way down)
-reducing the contrast (all the way down)
-Increasing the MAKE time to 2.0 seconds, which is more than I want it to be, but I wanted to see if it would work. It didn't.
-Turning on Object Detection (tried both on and off)
-Turning Object travels (pixels) to 150 (tried 75 and 150)
-Turning Reset detector when object size exceeds to 25% (was originally 67%, set down to 25%, still didn't work)
NOTE: To make sure I wasn't thinking about this incorrectly, I set it to 1% and danced in front of the camera. It did not trigger.
-Turning on Black & White (tried on and off)
-Turning on cancel shadows (tried on and off)
-Changing algorithm to Gaussian (tried simple also)
-Turning on High definition (tried on and off)
I also turned highlighting on just to see, even though I knew what it was. It's very clear to see from watching the recorded event, when it goes from full sun to full shade, bing bing my phone goes nuts.
I just don't know what else to do. If I had started with BI 4, I'd just say yea well, this is how it works, damn you sun and clouds. But I didn't. I started with BI 3, and BI 3 did NOT do this!
Please, somebody help me. There must be something I can do. I tried setting up motion detection on the cameras directly, but I'm not sure if they all actually support it, and how to get the info over to BI to trigger (I like the text alerts).
I have:
(4) Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I (firmware 5.2)
(4) Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS (firmware 5.2.5)
On a side note: how long should it take to receive a text alert once motion is triggered? I know this probably depends on carrier, but what do others see? Sometimes I see upwards of like 15 seconds, which I don't like. I swear it used to be like 5.
