    Are cloned cameras linked?

    Yeah, I have run across that note, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. Even under those conditions (filtering the clips by camera), I don't see the alerts generated by it's clone. The only way I see the alert clips of the cloned camera are directly by going to the group that I have it...

    Are cloned cameras linked?

    Then does anyone understand what the checkbox for "Group clone clips" really does? Intuitively it would seem to do as I indicated, allowing the Alert to show as one "belonging" to the camera designated as the "Clone master" or original cam, but I can't seem to get that to work.

    Are cloned cameras linked?

    Can you elaborate a bit there? Decouple? What do you mean...in a beneficial way or undesirable way? I'm still struggling a bit with cloned cameras and wrapping my head around how the alerts from clones appear. Even after tinkering with the "clone master" and "group clones" checkboxes, I still...

    Triggers with new zones/sources

    You may also want to first experiment with the checkbox for "start analysis upon motion detection" (or words to that effect, I'm not in front of my B.I. machine right now). Otherwise, it WILL only start upon a trigger in the appropriate zone, which may be too late.

    Recommend an Economical GPU for CPAI

    You are absolutely right to be aware of the problem, but that will likely not really hit the $200/year mark that the simplified math would indicate. Keep in mind that the 75 watt TDP is the upper limit, at full time 100% utilization, something that shouldn't come close to happening in a B.I...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 FPS issue in Blue iris

    So how did you determine that it is definitely caused by the existing Netgear switch? You have no more issues when the cameras are powered from an alternative switch or POE injectors?

    Harley sales keep declining.....

    Obviously, motorcycles are nowhere near as popular as they once were in America, for a wide variety of reasons (safety, comfort, general laziness), but it should be obvious why Harley sales in particular are down: they are overpriced, ancient technology relics compared to every other modern...

    Any benefit in adding a GPU to a Blue Iris PC?

    Fully agree, I'm pretty satisfied with a long term running average of 23 W on my B.I. computer, CPU usage is generally 3-5% (spikes much higher briefly during CPAI analysis). HP G3, i5-8500, no added video card. CPAI generally reports ~130 to 150ms analysis times, but B.I reports about double...

    Any benefit in adding a GPU to a Blue Iris PC?

    Thanks,I feel somewhat vindicated on that headless dongle: I'm quite sure there were some convincing arguments in favor of it, on one of the threads here (IPCamTalk forums) when I was researching my system build in late 2021/early 2022. I know I didn't just randomly decide it needed it out of...

    Any benefit in adding a GPU to a Blue Iris PC?

    AMD/Radeon cards aren't supported for the purposes of offloading processing for AI (CPAI), only Nvidia (CUDA) is supported, so it will be of very little benefit overall. As far as headless goes, I am running one of these on my nearly identical spec computer (same CPU, etc), with good results...

    Strange loss of Code Project AI custom models

    Perhaps try after a reboot. If no luck there, disable the main tab "use AI server" checkbox, then another reboot, then try again. If still no luck, disable the AI again, uninstall CPAI, delete the recommended directories, reboot, re-install CPAI, reboot, wait 15-30 minutes for the installation...

    Strange loss of Code Project AI custom models

    I don't think you can simultaneously run the "Default object detection" with the "Custom models", at least it is not recommended, if technically possible. Try unchecking the "Default object detection", then see if you can use the Custom models.

    SOLVED! Delays in Receiving Pushover Alerts

    Wait, why would changing the battery "optimization" settings for the official B.I. App have any effect on the Pushover App alert delay? Did I miss something? We aren't talking about the B.I. App push alerts here...

    What's the best FREE video editing s/w for 2024?

    Same here, along with Shotcut. DaVinci Resolve is said to be quite good, but with a steep learning curve.

    Events: subscription 00002efd

    Hmm...can you elaborate here a bit? I followed all the rest of your post (it's the same procedure I have used as well), but you lost me here: as far as I know only the triggers are passed along via ONVIF, not the actual motion stream, but I'd love to hear otherwise if there is a better solution.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Looking forward to hearing if this new 2.4.5 RC1 works out for you, as it seemed from your previous post that you were having trouble with the 2.3.4 release.

    BI 5.8.1.4 - PTZ no longer moves to preset when triggered from spotter

    I have had a similar issue that cropped up in these recent releases: the "look-back" feature of the scheduler (which is sometimes called by the PTZ feature), in regards to changing camera profiles at sunrise/sunset, hasn't been working when the computer (or B.I.) restarts in the opposite time...

    New Member Needing BI/NVR help!

    The one I picked up on eBay (for about $15) was described as "HP NC360T PCI EXPRESS DUAL PORT ADAPTER Card EXPI9402PT 412646-001 412651-001". Mine had the low profile bracket, but do check (it needs it).

    New Member Needing BI/NVR help!

    I would vote for the HP (Full Disclosure: it is exactly the model that I use): room for two spinning hard drives, low power draw, very stable overall. Don't forget to pick up second low profile Intel based NIC (see the pinned/wiki "Two NIC" Thread). Edit: Yes, as Fenderman pointed out below, I...

    Ghosting issues

    ^^^This. So many people have the (totally false) impression that a higher FPS setting (like 30, rather than 15) will add to the overall "clarity", when in fact it only adds to the smoothness of motion, potentially at the expense of actual sharpness in a stopped frame (screenshot, etc..). Oh...

    WizMind vs WizMind "S" ?

    Am I just not finding it (quite possible), or has there really been no in-depth discussion or review of the performance of these "new series" S3 variants of the fixed lens 5442 turret cameras (2.8mm, 3.6mm, 6mm)? I see lots of discussion of the various Z series 5442 (varifocal lens) variants...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Have you tried various non-multiples of 60hz as well? Intuitively, I would think you would want to avoid potentially syncing with the 60hz frequency, not align with it.

    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    Make sure you also pick up a second (low profile, if I remember correctly) Intel based NIC from eBay (or a local second hand/ recycling source)...read the "two NIC" thread on that subject if you don't know what I am referring to.

    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    I have essentially the same unit (I5-8500 version) and also highly recommend it: very stable, no issues, and low power consumption.

    Camera suggestions/words of wisdom - upgrading from "cheap" 4MP cameras

    Looks good, but don't forget to pack that connection with dielectric grease (always a good idea on an outside connection, but absolutely vital if you have little else to waterproof/seal that connection). Not sure if you have a means to pull that cable out from the wall when finalizing this, but...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Somewhere on the CPAI site there are links to older versions, I don't remember where at the moment. However, it isn't so simple for another member to "share" their installation: in reality every installation file that we download and execute is just a tiny portion or stub of the full CPAI...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I still have a smooth running installation of 2.1.8 that I have been running for about 6 months or so: I think I will let braver souls (with perhaps currently problematic installations) try this out and see if it is trouble-free and resolves anything for them. I hate to temp fate and wind up...

    How many days of video do you keep for a home system?

    Hmm...I guess many of you never leave for more than a week of vacation: I am usually away for around 3 weeks at a time, once a year. While it's true that I have others looking after my house while I'm gone, it's still nice to be able to review footage for at least the last month or so.
