    CPU Usage v6.x

    Appreciate the graphics card info, @wittaj. For what it's worth, 6 of our 9 cams are POE with on-board AI (IVS), which have worked flawlessly for over a year (and as you alluded to, have little cpu overhead). We're using BI v6's built-in AI with three inexpensive wifi cams. After some...

    CPU Usage v6.x

    Had a hunch a few seconds at 40-60% was acceptable, but wasn't sure. Thx for confirming. @Bruce_H, I've tried turning on the on-board/integrated Intel 630 graphics a few times in the past and noticed no improvement. Is there a reasonably priced dedicated graphics card that can put a...

    CPU Usage v6.x

    Currently using BI v6.0.2.8. Currently supporting 6, 4k cams and 3, 3k cams (recording 24/7). Using the larger yolo8m module. When BI is static, cpu usage hovers around 7-9%. When AI attempts to confirm a trigger it momentarily spikes to 40-60% for about 2-3 seconds then drops to 7-9% again...

    BI v6.0.2.7 built-in AI not confirming small moving objects

    Changing to 3/15 (pre/post) triggers (750ms) improved the confirmation rate (vs. nothing found) from roughly 10% to 70% (detecting our cat at night with infra-red active). Thanks for the suggestion, @jrbeddow. Changing from yolov8s.onnx to yolov8m.onnx improved things further. Now getting...

    BI v6.0.2.7 built-in AI not confirming small moving objects

    Thanks! I'll give 3 pre/10-15 post a try.

    BI v6.0.2.7 built-in AI not confirming small moving objects

    Just upgraded from v5.9.9.97 to v6.0.2.7. Been using/testing v6.0.2.7's built-in AI to confirm standard BI motion detection on several cams. AI works well confirming persons, but fails to confirm/detect smaller objects like our cat 90% of the time. BI motion detection triggers on the cat 100%...

    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...
