    GDID and Windows 11

    Or then again, maybe not (as promising as that sounds, Linux adoption is unlikely to have actually doubled in a very short period). https://www.pcworld.com/article/3204830/linux-didnt-actually-hit-10-percent-market-share-blame-bots.html

    How can the IPCAM Store be sold out of BI software?

    Try this way, the link says it is BlueIris V5, but it should allow upgrades to BI V6 for the first year of support: https://amcrest.com/blue-iris-downloadable-version-5.html

    False negatives with AI in BI 6

    I have my cameras setup with 3-4 pre-trigger images and 6-8 post-trigger images and that generally works quite well, but I can't claim that those are optimum for every situation, you might need to experiment. Definitely keep the box checked for reanalysis on continued motion triggers. Sadly...

    False negatives with AI in BI 6

    First thing to try is to lengthen the times between each analysis to at least 500ms or preferably 750ms (I would even experiment with 1 second), especially given that your average analysis time is running 337ms (potential for backlog of analyses). Also, no person is going to cross this scene in...

    How about a brand new American-made truck for $21,500?

    The project does look promising, but is a long ways from actual deliveries, so it is a bit early to judge. Also, while many of the goals are noble, I suspect there is some wiggle room in the "American made" stance that they are projecting: American "designed and assembled" doesn't mean that all...

    How about a brand new American-made truck for $21,500?

    Sadly the American public has bought into the idea that pickup trucks need to "LOOK" big and burly/manly (MORE POWER, heh heh), but in reality the bed size is often ridiculously small and short. We used to get by just fine in the 80's and first part of the 90's with overall (physically) smaller...

    Should I remove my front gate?

    The only problem I see with this suggestion is expecting the Amazon drivers to exert any extra time or effort beyond the absolute minimum, aka: an expectation of common sense being applied, which in my experience has been quite rare.

    Should I remove my front gate?

    As others pointed out, from a true burglary security perspective, it doesn't address the much easier path of breaking a window. At first glance, I like it in the sense that it does cut the risk from the latest youth TikTok challenge; a nasty variant of "ding-ding ditch", where instead of...

    Good deals on Reolink Refurbished ($70 PoE Doorbells) and much more at their eBay store

    Sadly only the black version (native landscape view), not the white version (native portrait view). Bummer that those seem completely gone everywhere.

    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.
