    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    Which version(s) have you been using? Ken acknowledged he's had to implement "many fixes" to the v6 DB since its initial release via v5.9.9.75. He suggested I upgrade to .87, which I did. Fingers crossed :)

    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    It appears BI v5.9.9.75 is the very first release that uses the new v6 DB. That's a big change and probably explains most of my problems. If you don't want to deal with any of the v6 DB growing pains, I've been told v5.9.9.73 is the most stable release that still uses the v5 DB. Not sure...

    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    @Tinman, @wittaj, thanks for the suggestion. I assume I would create a 4000-5000 GB "new" folder on the 6tb D drive, set Limit the Clip Age to 16 days and specify "delete" (vs. Move to Folder)? Not sure it's necessary, but should I also set the "stored" folder to 0 GB, not click Limit the Clip...

    BI v5.9.9.75 Deleting ALL "stored" Video

    Over the last year (using BI v5.9.8.5) I've been keeping about 26 hours of BI "new" video on a 500gb Windows C SSD drive. After 26 hours it transitions to a 6tb Windows D drive where I limit BI video storage to approx. 4tb (or 16 days of total video for 6 cameras). I've had zero problems with...

    Upgrading BI

    Currently running BI 5.9.9.xx. When upgrading any pros/cons to using the full install (file size 150-160mb) vs. the upgrade (40-50mb)?

    Camera Disappeared from BI

    @Tinman, thanks. I'm not familiar with the BI group and sub-group function. We only have 6 cams so everything fits fine without any special grouping. If this happens again and the camera is not listed under the BI Groups->Index Windows registry folder, what is the corrective action at that...

    Camera Disappeared from BI

    Thanks for the reply, @wittaj. Where is "the picture that is on the desktop" located? Within BI? Top right? If a camera is moved to the desktop, would that remove it from the list of cameras in the BI Status->Cameras ("Status" icon located in the upper left of BI)?

    Camera Disappeared from BI

    Had a camera (1 of 6) completely disappear from BI a day or so ago. It was like it never existed. The camera was still present in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\Cameras\xxxxxxx). No problems accessing the missing camera via GUI. I manually...

    Face detection not working

    We tried CPAI for a few weeks. It would correctly identify cars, trucks, people, bicycles, etc. Alerts were delayed 5-6 seconds. Face detection identified faces if pics were manually entered into CPAI itself, but it never worked within BI. Could have lived with these limitations, but it was...

    NetTime Question

    Thanks for the link. I've read through that page a few times over the last couple of days. No doubt I'm missing something obvious. It does mention turning off the Windows Time Service. I ran "net stop w32time" a few times. Normally I check when the computer performed its last time sync...

    NetTime Question

    A few days ago I got all our cameras to time sync to NetTime. However, I'm not clear how NetTime is supposed to work with the computer it's installed on. When I run "w32tm /query /status" at the cmd prompt it shows the Windows Time Service is still accessing time.windows.com for time syncs...

    Hardware/Software Advice for BI

    I've noticed "wire" placement with IVS is a bit tricky if shadows (from a moving tree or bush) fall on them during a windy day. Took some experimenting to get them positioned right. As for 'tinkering with too many other things', I hear ya. To be honest, I'm probably using the term tinkering a...

    Hardware/Software Advice for BI

    After tinkering with CPAI for a couple days decided to stick with IVS. CPAI was just a too buggy--even after reinstalling it 3-4 times. It would drop off-line randomly---a deal killer for us. The CPAI "auto stop/start" in BI seemed to play a part. With it active it would sometimes never...

    Hardware/Software Advice for BI

    Making progress. Finally got Remote Desktop on our laptops and iPhones working with the BI desktop using both OpenVPN and ZeroTier. Having the option to change BI presets remotely is sweet. It took some practice to navigate throughout BI on an iphone, but it's totally doable. Surprised to...

    Hardware/Software Advice for BI

    Thanks for the reply! I tried entering IVS-1, IVS-2, Person, Human, Vehicle, Motor Vehicle, etc. in the Contains field, Trigger in the Action field, and Person, Human, Motor Vehicle, etc. in the Memo field. Seemed to have no effect on the Pushover notifications. All the Pushover...
