    What the Heck?

    I wouldn't call it awful looking so much as uninspired: it's basically a minor variation of virtually all the other Tesla sedans. Then there is the Cybertruck, which looks like what a 5 year old would draw if you asked him to draw a pickup truck.

    Use a clone to have two different IVS areas alert differently?

    Hmm...I haven't tried this, as I rarely use the filters for Alerts, but it could work. In the ONVIF details/classifications continue to setup the "outer" (less important) events as "Triggers" (the default), but in the same dialog reclassify the more important (closer) events as "Confirmed...

    Use a clone to have two different IVS areas alert differently?

    No problem, and I agree that the solution is less than obvious. The key is knowing that every Alert has one or more associated labels (aka: Memos in BI terms), and that you can "manually" manipulate those Memos in this manner and control what takes place with them in the Alert, Action set dialog...

    Use a clone to have two different IVS areas alert differently?

    Not sure why you mentioned an nvr: I don't use one either (just the cameras directly to BI). The IVS rules are named and created in the camera GUI directly. From the top: 1) Configure your IVS rules in the camera GUI, and be sure to re-name them to something useful and recognizable (DO NOT use...

    Use a clone to have two different IVS areas alert differently?

    Half of this setup needs to be done in the camera GUI: you need to first create names for the IVS rules "in-camera". In my case, they start with the word "Sidewalk" for zones that I want the camera to record on (officially, these still technically result in an "Alert" in BI terms, which is what...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    Interesting; I haven't seen that in such a direct manner, but you may want to send your results to the BI developer (Ken). With empirical evidence showing this kind of degradation of performance, he is usually willing to listen and make adjustments as needed.

    What app for my phone owrks

    You might also try through Amcrest here: https://amcrest.com/blue-iris-downloadable-version-5.html It shows as version 5, but supposedly includes one year of updates, which should permit you to upgrade to the current version of 6.x.x.x (TBD/YMMV). Only $54.99 through Amcrest.

    6.0.5.6 is released. Fixes rare Yellow exclamation point (!) in log (with no corresponding description of error))/Yellow status bar when an Alert event is confirmed/cancelled by some triggering events but overridden by other confirmations.

    AI confirmation settings

    Frankly no, 20 seconds doesn't bother me, and that delay is not even true in every case: sometimes BI will still override and declare an object confirmed before that. In addition, I run simultaneous ONVIF events direct from the cameras, with labels that correspond to regions or zones of high/low...

    Excellent summary @jaydeel , and it covers all the implications and gotchas well.

    AI confirmation settings

    It depends entirely on the application: are you doing ALPR? If so, the timings need to be spaced even tighter/closer together (by quite a bit), but for most general purpose/person/animal/slow moving vehicle (parking lot, driveway, etc.) I would suggest much slower timings, on the order of 750ms...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    This is actually a fairly significant update that came about though some long (over a month+) back and forth discussions I had with Ken: in typical fashion, he undersold it in the update notes posted for 6.0.5.0/6.0.5.1. In a nutshell, it allows Action sets (think Push/Pushover alerts) to...

    Not sure if it is released, but Ken notified me that he believes it is resolved in 6.0.5.1.

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    He likes to post that when an update drops and he discovers it before the update bot shows it here (which clearly only checks once a day in the late afternoon, US time). It's also an easy way to bump up his post count.
