    bi-mcp: a Blue Iris MCP server for Claude Code / LLMs (read + control via the JSON API)

    Serious question. Why use MCP for generally stateless systems like BI or Home Assistant? Wouldn’t a decent skill set work better? Maybe follow up with some steering to go straight to the skill if pertaining is lacking… I’m generally miffed at home assistant’s assist pipeline already costing 2x...

    Dahua WizColor 2449-ProX vs WizColor 2449-Pro ("Color4M-TL")

    Typical 2 series review? Don't forget 30ms. Somone did post comprehensive night walk-around videos with the 4MP PROX. I think they were as expected. Very good for an overview camera in full color, must be very close for identification. We are finally seeing product lines get better instead of...

    IP cam for rotents.

    I built something like this using restrictive licensed tools and finally just found a different way. I "feel" like my training was good and it benchmarks OK but I haven't had a mouse in the two years I've had my model so it's kind of a waste and getting in the way of the object detection I...

    guess it depends on the grass? bermuda doesn't give you an option. you edge or your sidewalk is grass too.

    Mowing and edging

    I’m very close to slapping a 2kw motor on my manual reel. I have the nicest yard in the hood until late July then it’s just not worth the water and effort anymore. Every year.

    Thingino

    Super cool. Listing AAC first trips up a lot of otherwise decent pipeline. Ulaw works as it is an actual communication codec, but American/japanese products are so screwed up and worthless it’s best just to alaw everything.

    Dahua WizColor 2449-ProX vs WizColor 2449-Pro ("Color4M-TL")

    Are they really that aggressive? You're also mentioning exposure times in the 30's. I don't get close to half of that even with my old night color 2.0 cams.

    Dahua WizColor 2449-ProX vs WizColor 2449-Pro ("Color4M-TL")

    I'm confused about all the Exposure Compensation and License Plate Exposure and stuff you're mentioning. Does this camera not have manual gain and exposure limits?

    Kid's room camera recommendations

    Tapo is fine. They make pan tilt with full room view for basically free. go2rtc tapo:/ integration is really good so frigate functionality is fine. Just make sure you have a wired access point nearby.

    Thingino

    Same person just released a go2rtc pull request for a private protocol. backchannel. Basically makes the Dahua work just like a Tapo which is an upgrade for a lot of these cameras.

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    4k-t has a fixed focal length so a fixed iris naturally gives a steady aperture. As you increase focal length, you should be letting in more light to help compensate, but the 3 series doesn’t do that. I would imagine those get pretty starved for light as you zoom in at night. We know Dahua...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Focal length is not iris. Being verafocal is why fixed iris is an issue.

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    It’s fixed iris…

    Thingino

    Thanks. Too slow though. Working on Private Protocol now but also want open and permissive. Some other guy looks to be working on it too in go2rtc so maybe I just wait on him and cherry pick or merge it to my fork. My big plan at home was to get that N45EYNZ piped in so I could finally go back...

    Thingino

    Thanks for reaching out and best of luck finding new and exciting ways to tackle more cameras. This forum is going to focus much more on visual conditions. Just giving a cheap camera manual control over shutter and gain would be a breakthrough in that space. I’ll be trying Thingino in the...
