Newbie here, coming from dreaded Reolink. Educate me

Ok, wow that's easy. I'll see how it works when someone comes today.

Any chance you can help me figure out my Pushover issue? I cannot for the life of me get it to work...this is so daunting to start out lol.

Post in thread 'Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks'

I am stumped. My alerts are showing up via ONVIF from my EmpireTech cam in my alerts timeline, the alerts are mapped to "E:\BI Alerts". However, I don't see any alert images in that folder since last night when I turned off the AI confirmation for alerts.

I cannot even get the pushover to come through on my iPhone without the "attachment" code

Below is the code I am trying to use but cannot get it to work. I have 0 programming knowledge and this is my first IPC after ditching ReoLink.

-s --form-string "REDACTED" --form-string...
 
Start easy and simply use the pushover email they gave you to send alerts to pushover app - get that working and then decide if you need to use the API route.
 
You have to use your own personal account for BI to send email out with.

You set that up on the global BI setup pages.

Many create a gmail account just for BI to use instead of using their existing email account.
 
No, in the recipient email, put down the pushover email that they assigned you when you set up and account. It will then push via email to the pushover app as a push notification and not to your email.

Get that squared away and see if that is sufficient for her and if not, then proceed with the API version. It is simple but one context error and the whole thing goes poof.

Got it! Will see if it works. Another question, when I play back clips from the alerts timeline, it stutters across and isn't smooth?

I will get some tonight! FYI these cameras are mounted in the same location on opposite sides of my garage door. I need to turn the color mode off on the Reolink so the white lights don't turn on for a true comparison. Also, across the front of the garage I have some Govee permanent lights that are warm white at 15% after 23:00.
 
So THATS where they got the new sensors for the 54PRO ;)

Similar softness

Go into shutter settings and change to manual shutter and start with custom shutter as ms and change to 0-8.3ms and gain 0-50 (night) and 0-4ms exposure and 0-30 gain (day)for starters. Auto could have a shutter speed of 100ms or more with a gain at 100 and shutter priority could result in gain up at 100 which will contribute to significant ghosting and that blinding white you will get from the infrared or white light.

Are these good settings to start with for an indoor camera that is using IR at night?
