    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    I’d buy a UNAS in a heartbeat if Protect would figure out motion alerts with IVS rules for third-party cameras. The Protect app is excellent, and the video quality and playback experience on my phone are miles ahead of Blue Iris. But I can’t justify dropping another $600 on AI Ports on top of...

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    Basic motion alerts do work with all of my Dahua cameras but the caveat is you have to enable video detection/smart motion. Protect still does not recognize IVS rules. Using video detection caused me to get way too many false alerts.

    Cant Figure It Out - Blue Iris Alerts - Going Nuts

    Download Tailscale on both your BI machine and phone, make sure there under the same Tailscale account and it is connected on both devices. On your BI machine go to the toolbar at the bottom, click on the Tailscale icon and that is the IP you want to remember. Then in BI go to settings, web...

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    I can confirm with ver. 7.1.55 Protect will not work with my line crossing IVS rules, however it will send me alerts by using the cameras generic video/smart detection but you're going to get a million false alerts.

    Cant Figure It Out - Blue Iris Alerts - Going Nuts

    I tried zerotier when I was new to all of this and could never get it to work. I have been using tailscale for over a year with practically no issues aside from an update changing my BI machines IP which was easily fixed by updating the new IP in BI and on my phones app.

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    From what I was able to gather the do support the M profile. It could be a small setting I am missing but hopefully they end up being compatible I would love to be able to fully transition to Protect while not being forced to use their dog shit cameras.

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    I’m on early access 7.1.55 and still not able to get any type of motion alerts to my protect with Dahua cams. I have seen recent posts on Reddit of people with cheap Tapo cams now getting onvif detections.

    Has anyone tried the PFA126 Mount?

    Ive got one, it's a tank and makes connecting and disconnecting the camera much easier especially, up on a ladder.

    NVR recommendations for Axis cam's

    A friend asked for help switching his business's cameras (only 5) to a self monitored system. He was bent over backwards by a local company and is currently paying close to $500/yr for their app and off site management that he cannot change settings on. I currently use blue iris but he is less...

    Help dialing in my T54IR-ZE S3

    I experimented a bit and found that when the camera faced the white light, it reflected off the top and sides of my head and body, making my face appear too dark at night. Although switching to IR eliminated color, the camera’s ability to project light horizontally toward me resulted in much...

    Help dialing in my T54IR-ZE S3

    I've got several cameras from Andy all on classic day/night with IR schedules. I added one recently towards my garage that has a dusk to dawn light that provides enough light the camera stays in color at night, which is fine. However when testing playback quality and facial clarity during the...

    Blue Iris not picking up up ONVIF from Dahua T54R cameras.

    Just ran into this myself. Did you go into the Alert > Actions and tell it to send a push notification or you preferred method?

    CPU usage

    I currently have a 14700k & 5080 that runs BI and is also used for gaming. I would like to upgrade to AMD for the gaming performance and wondered if a 9800x3d would be effected gaming while running BI or if I would need to get something like the 9950x3d with duals CCD's. All of my AI is done...

    Sudden IOS app issues

    No clue what was causing the problem but got it sorted out by rolling back Tailscale a couple versions.

    Sudden IOS app issues

    Yeah tried all the different combo's of IP's and rebooted the server. My BI license being expired wouldn't play a role would it?

    Sudden IOS app issues

    I'm not sure what it has been set at but it was currently set to public so I changed it to private but that did not work. When I type in my tailscale IP :81 on my local machine I am able to log into the UI3 but I still cannot get my iPhone app to login. BI is set to run as a windows service.

    Drive Overallocated

    What do you mean by that? I only ever see one open at a time. Well update.....I updated to the one pushed out on 08.28. Compact and re-indexed the drive and it has seemed to fix the issue. Thanks for the help everyone

    Drive Overallocated

    So I deleted a bunch of old video from the drive manually and lowered the total storage to 6600 and 50, ran a DB repair, and restarted BI and the red over allocated bar just keeps increasing as I lower the total drive storage amount. My DB is on my C drive, the E drive is only used for footage.

    Drive Overallocated

    Been running an 8Tb WD Purple for about a year with no issues. All of a sudden BI is saying I have "Drives Overallocated". Disk manager shows 7400Gb usable and healthy, and have had BI recording up to 7200GB (New) and 50GB(Alerts). The E: drive at the bottom of BI camera window showed...

    Sudden PTZ5A4M-25X preset issues

    Updated to the latest version and when the ptz would move to Preset 2 when called from a spotter cam when triggered it will not reset to Preset 1 (home). This is a new problem so I reverted back to version 5.9.9.67 but that has not fixed the problem. Any ideas what could be causing this?

    Unknown trigger

    I linked my ONVIF stream to Webcam HQ to view my cams on my living room tv through my apple tv, worked like a charm. However one of my cameras (B54IR-ZE S3) is throwing motion alerts (ivs rules) several times a minute (RuleEngine/CellMotionDetector/Motio) this just started happening when...

    PTZ for the win

    I may be moving so no more cameras for now. I may not have a spot for the PTZ if the new place works out, so definitely going to dive into the alpr scene to give me something to tinker with.

    Got some good facial rec. of a neighborhood vandal. Couldn’t get plate due to glare of IR on plate. (PTZ5A4M)
