    Do I need to "Optimize" my SSD that contains the New folder.

    As others mentioned, I'd just record directly to the spinning disks. Recording to one, then moving just creates extra work and wear on the SSD.

    Shutter speed and other settings for night colour image (IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED).

    Making a little progress. My results thus far.. I've only tweaked 3 of my cams so far, using BI to schedule the shutter and gain. A couple I keep in day mode with enough ambient lighting. But even 1/30 shutter at 50% gain is leaps and bounds better than default settings regarding motion...

    h264 or h265

    Just came across this and figured I'd give it a try swapping my 4k cams over to h264. Low and behold, h265 is the only option. Annke C800s, Hikvision oem. I know they're cheap cams and you get what you pay for. <shrug>

    Shutter speed and other settings for night colour image (IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED).

    Great post. This should be stickied somewhere if it isn't already. I've had a few Hikvision based cams for awhile, but the image has been good enough I really haven't tweaked much. But after adding a new 180* unit for my driveway the conditions are just right for some terrible motion ghosting...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I haven't found a way. But I made two macros in the main settings using %8 and %9. Those two contain everything I need to use in the alert. So if I ever need to change the lan IP, there's only one place I need to do it. I had to use two because it was too long to have in one.

    5.8.0.9

    Does this affect your pushover powershell script at all? I imagine it's still doing my resizing for me. I know Ken is a busy dude, but I wish we could see these detailed changes in each update besides what's in the major point release. :)

    Paxvigo EBF810

    That's probably a question to ask China. :D Joking aside, I don't know. I noticed only one IR LED works too, I suspect it's a firmware thing. FWIW, I've got mine mounted finally giving me a wide view of my driveway. I keep it in day mode though because I have a light on my flag that...

    BI Status Icon often red, cameras tab Clips, all white/black reversed, why?

    I think when it turns red, a camera has had a loss of signal or the FPS has dropped below what you have set in the cameras settings.

    It took me longer than I care to admit to realize you were talking about the clingy protective film on the outside :lmao::lmao: On a side note, I'm bookmarking that manual PDF. I honestly haven't messed with the shutter speed on any of my hikvision oem's Overall I've been pretty happy...

    5.8.0.7

    Been running about 18 hours now. The memory leak that was present in 5.8.0.5 seems to be fixed.

    Memory leak on version 5.8.0.5

    Interesting. I'm going to have to try this and compare usage stats. I still have hardware acceleration (intel) turned on for all my cams, even those with substreams. Curious what if any difference it would make with a couple 2/3mp cams I have that don't support sub streams. Will do some...

    Painting a camera to help it blend in

    They really do look so much better blended in. My friends and neighbors think I'm nuts with cams all over my house and garage. :)

    Painting a camera to help it blend in

    That reminds me. I used to see ads for a birdfeeder with a built in camera to catch up close shots of them when they'd fly up to eat.

    Painting a camera to help it blend in

    That works way better than the built in forum search function. I did search but got so many un-related results I got pissed and made a new thread. :) That's an idea! I actually have used a similar idea for mounting "smart" motion sensors outside. They give a little protection, plus...

    Painting a camera to help it blend in

    The thought has came to mind several times over the years but I never really had a solid reason for it But I'm thinking about adding a camera to my deck which is a dark brown. That white camera is going to stand out like a sore peter. The one I'm thinking about using has a plastic housing but...

    BI pre-trigger time

    Leave that pre-trigger record time as is, but uncheck "playback fully with alert" just to the right of the pre-trigger. It will still record the pre trigger but when you play clips from your alerts list you don't have to wait that 5 seconds to see what motion happened, etc.

    BI pre-trigger time

    Just uncheck "playback fully with alert" so you don't have to wait for the action to start when going thru your alerts. It's still a thing, but I've honestly forgot about it. Unchecking that box solves the annoyance.

    Days of video per camera - Overview - Possible?

    I was just playing around with your script. I like it. Really like the idea of the days calculation. Wink wink nudge nudge lol It's interesting to see how BI keeps clips on a drive pretty equal in date despiste size. I have one drive that has a 8mp and a 3mp cam recording to it...

    Days of video per camera - Overview - Possible?

    I've got a couple drives mixed in my BI machine, and various cams set to record to different drives. Is there any easy way to see an overview of how many days of each cam are getting recorded? Bonus, see size usage by camera. I know I can solo an individual camera and look for the red dots...

    Day/Night issue, or all the time? What are your frame rates and I frames set to? Here is my settings:

    Paxvigo EBF810

    Nice. Do you get audio and substreams that way? I have mine set to generic with the urls manually populated. Might have to try that on my other hik cams

    Paxvigo EBF810

    I'm in the same boat. Orered one from paxvigo, got a dead tracking number then a couple weeks later it shows up, but got the plastic NC801 model as well. Not a deal breaker, but I still emailed them to see what they say. My first impression was holy crap is this thing huge. I have no idea...

    docker wyze bridge external events

    Anyone use docker-wyze-bridge? I use it for a couple wyze cams, but just got a doorbell cam. I was curious if it was possible to send a onvif trigger even when someone hit the doorbell button to trigger something in BI.

    BI pre-trigger time

    I got an email from Tim about this a few weeks ago. It was changed for when using dual streams. Uncheck include fully with alert is the fix.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I use freefilesync and keep my alerts folder synced to a FTP server on my web host provider. I also have a dynamic image gallery on it so I can look at alert images when I'm not home.

    Custom models folder - how to?

    Finally playing with this a little more. Do you have to list the models or objects in a certain order? I'm finding my mailman's truck is always detected as "truck". I've never seen it show usps yet.

    AI with external triggers and masks from motion zones

    I used external triggers for some things, but I've always noticed that AI doesn't analyze objects that are not covered by a motion zone. For example, I have a cam that looks out the front of the house at the mailbox. I have a sensor in the mailbox that triggers when it is opened. But the...

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    I just started using these custom models and stumbled on a few things.. First I assume I want to add objects:0 to my custom model list, or uncheck use default objects on the main AI setting page.. Second, am I correct in not needing ipcam-general and ipcam-combined at the same time? When I...
