    Rainbow glare in the morning

    I just installed a new camera and notice when the sun hits it directly in the morning between 8 - 10 AM, there is rainbow glare all over the lens, as the day passes the glare is gone. Anyway to resolve this?

    Mutiple bins when flashing firmware

    Is it normal to flash a camera multiple times, i was looking at the steps for T54IR, it seems you need to flash the base FW then another one on top for the AI. Wondering if this is common, I never bothered flashing a second file on top but when checking my other dahua cameras they do have a...

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    tried my best to dial in settings on the E893DD for better low light, but it's just bad. I can likely improve things if i use the spotlight but really don't want that on due to its location. My issue with the 54IR is that it's obviously not able to capture as much detail since it's not 4K 8MP...

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    The E893DD is actually excellent in the day, enough to capture a license plate and clear faces, but grainy at night. 54IR is excellent at night but overall picture quality isn't that much better than the HDW2431T.

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    Went ahead and installed it as in my testing they looked comparable, but I'm extremely disappointed my old dying HDW2431T is so much better than the Lorex 4K at low light. Might have to bite the bullet and get the EmpireTech T54IR, it does have person and vehicle detection?

    SMD vs IVS

    Yes some of my trip wire are multiple points, the reason there are many rules is to cover all areas going to the front door and to the side of the house. But good to know I have to many rules, will try to reduce them.

    SMD vs IVS

    I get the difference between SMD and IVS, have been using IVS on all my cameras but testing SMD. The Lorex firmware does not have SMD options and when you check IVS it has no intrusion or trip wire options only Smart Motion. It looks like Smart Motion = intrusion, but still no trip wire. Just...

    SMD vs IVS

    Dahua Camera 1 Motion detection enabled SMD set to medium IVS off Lorex Camera 2 Motion detection disabled SMD not available IVS set to Smart Motion I'm confused why the Lorex firmware only has SM under IVS, so does that mean person or vehicle detection will only work with IVS and not regular...

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    Any recommendations on a 4MP camera? I can't seem to find the 5442 available any more.

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    Cars driving by are a blur, the picture quality at night is better but overall, it's not what I was hoping for with a 4K camera. 4K means more storage but not a significant improvement in image quality. I have two HDW2431Ts but one has become really slow and crashes, resetting has not helped...

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    Thanks for the info, guess I'll stick it in front of a window to test the color night vision at the very least. The camera is mounted really high so would only replace it if it's better than my current.

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    The Lorex is 1/2.8" vs my current 1/3”, so isn't the Lorex sensor bigger thus meaning it will capture more light? What if I run it at 6MP or 4MP?

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    Yes, one of the main reasons to get it was the built-in AI to prevent false positives, the camera will look over a driveway. I have streetlights so it's not super dark at night. As long as it performs better than HDW2431T during the night I'm okay with it, currently I have HDW2431T set to...

    Thoughts on Lorex E893DD

    This camera was cheap for a 4K camera, thought I got a good deal but maybe not. As it can only do 4K/15fps which I can live with. When testing with BI, I noticed fps/key was 15/0.50, but I have no option in Lorex firmware to adjust the I-Frames. This is a Dahua IPC-HFW3841EN-PV-S2-cayenne...

    YOLOv5 .NET won't Autostart with 2.6.5

    I done a full clean install of CPAI, deleting the directories in programdata and program files. I don't have a nvidia gpu and have been using YOLOv5 .NET with the intel GPU and that has work okay. Since upgrading to 2.6.5 it no longer starts with CPAI, I have to select start each time after...

    Why are Custom Models grayed out in my AI tab?

    I would like to use ipcam-general, do i need to check "use custom model" in BlueIris Setting tab and then set the model to ipcam-general in the Camera setting AI page? Right now I do not have the "use custom model" checked, its unclear if both need to be set for it to work.

    you need to first enter your license, this is the key that was provided to you when you first purchased BI. Then BI will at least open, once it opens go to the About page it will likely say support expired select renew and enter the maintenance key.

    You cannot use the service when in the 15 day evaluation period, so everyone lost the service that went into eval mode. Mne was worse as i couldn't even open the app since mine went to 0 days.

    This is good and all and hopefully we get a detail explanation once the dust settles. Few Questions for whoever: Why does a hard drive failure cause paying customers to go into eval mode, mine went to 0 days effectively meaning it was not running or recording. This is a HUGE when someone is...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I'm currently looking at solutions to get rich notifications on my phone and pushover looks to be the easiest to implement but aren't you guys concerned about privacy with images being uploaded to third party services? One of the main reasons I went with BI was so all my data stays local, but...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    You beat me to it was going to reply with this as well, this box was the missing item. Although CPU might seems better, detection was in the 200-400ms range but with GPU i'm getting 400-500ms.

    LOREX W482CAD

    @todd Can you confirm if you are able to change most settings when using the amcrest app, things like motion detection, codec, bitrate etc? I would really like to know if the spot light button in the amcrest app works? What about ONVIF trigger events, do they work in BlueIris?

    Activate Alarm with BI Profile

    I have some cameras recording and triggering 24/7 but have alerts turned off in BI, when I switch BI to my away profile it is only then will I get alerts on my phone. What I would like BI to do is when I switch to away profile, it turns on the led probe lights when an IVS event triggers but...

    External and SMR Drive for archive?

    What difference does it make if its a NAS or external drive as long as the storage is fast enough? Technically a 1gbps network NAS would be slower than a USB 3.0 5gbps. My archive drive that I'm currently using is a 3gbps SATA drive connected to a 3gbps SATA port, the USB drive is faster.

    External and SMR Drive for archive?

    What are your guys thoughts when it comes to SMR drives? Obviously it isn't a good idea to use SMR drives as the recording disks but what about just to archive the footage once main recording disk gets full? Is it going to be an issue since technically it will only write when Blue Iris moves the...
