    Need help linking DIO 1 switch on the PTZ / Live Camera view to a MQTT DIO command. (I have the command working)

    I need assistance linking the little switches highlighted below in red with a DIO MQTT command. I have the MQTT command setup in Blue Iris that actuates a relay using the test function in Blue Iris using bit 1 and bit 2 to turn the relay on and off. What I have not been able to figure out...

    Trying SSD on BI

    Ive been running BI with 10 - 12 cameras on Intel NUCs as a backup system with a single SSD most of the time and have been doing that for over 5 years and have never had a failure. What is important is to get a decent SSD that has good performance and endurance. I have found the Samsung...

    Hmm...do you agree with the advice I got from EmpireTech on camera selection?

    I want to make sure you noticed the note wittaj made about using a network cable splitter. If desired, you can effectively 2x each network cable your contractor ran using a splitter at each location. Your plug the network cable into it and then you get two coming out of it. The splitter...

    CP.AI Face Recognition - Unknown Faces

    I am experiencing the same issue as others in the thread, where am not getting any face images, or just a few show up on one or two cameras and it seems intermittent at best. I am on the most current version of CodeProject.AI and the most current stable BI build as well. I am running an Nvidia...

    this seems shitty. help...

    @wittaj wanted to thank you for taking the time to put this together. Im on the site a fair bit and missed these suggestions from you on other posts. I tried these settings on several cameras last night and it made a pretty big difference. I had been using shutter priority vs manual and...

    Backing up clips offsite?

    How about a remote USB drive that is well hidden or secured, or another hidden mini PC or NAS in the home you sync or FTP to.

    "Lost Connection to Service (2)" error and how do you completely remove BI to re-install if needed?

    I started getting the error "lost connection to service (2)". The system has been very reliable with no errors until recently when it started popping up stopping BI from running. I tried the current most stable version of BI along with the latest build. I am running this with...

    Simple Blue Iris I/O using Shelly1 Wi-Fi Devices

    @CanCuba, thanks for the link. I used a similar relay device to interface with the "Alarm Out" of the Dahua cams for my project, so I would not have to go through Blue Iris for the trigger, and just use the Dahua AI for person and vehicle detection.. The problem I ran into, was I did not...

    Simple Blue Iris I/O using Shelly1 Wi-Fi Devices

    @TonyR, I am wondering if I should go with the Shelly1 Pro for Ethernet for the added reliability of ethernet? Have you or anyone else had a shelly1 device go offline for any reason? It's only passing a very small amount of data when called, so assume they are reliable assuming the wifi...

    Simple Blue Iris I/O using Shelly1 Wi-Fi Devices

    @TonyR, @Bob Ebaugh I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and provide some ideas on how to accomplish my goal. Once my other Shelly1 comes in, I will start the testing. I spoke to my alarm guy today and he can provide a dry contact relay either NC or NO. The alarm and BI system...

    Simple Blue Iris I/O using Shelly1 Wi-Fi Devices

    One thing I am looking to do is to change profiles when my our Honeywell Alarm system is armed. They have a dry contact relay system that can be used to either close or open a relay. I would like to have the shelly device take this signal and when the relay is triggered from arming our...
