    Blue Iris CPU options - Dell Optiplex i5-6600 or i7-7700 or i5-8500? Recommendations?

    One more point to consider: the newer processors tend to use less electricity (and your BI machine, as a 24/7 device, that WILL add up over time). For reference, my i5-8500 BI machine with 4 cameras uses only about 22 watts (long term average). My machine has one Nvme drive as the boot drive and...

    Record any motion, but only trigger push when confirmed it's a person

    This (and your other referenced post) are very helpful, I'm not sure how I missed the other one until now. Have you played around with other longer strings in the list of objects here in the Alerts, Required AI Objects box? For example, when adding several objects (person, car, etc..), do we...

    Find/Inspect not pulling all data on some cameras

    You may be running into the same issue I discussed over in this thread ( I would read at least the last couple of pages to review): 5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates In particular, I discovered that two of my 5442 cameras that had been upgraded to the latest (August 2022) fimrware WITHOUT...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    For anyone following this firmware date vs. ONVIF authentication saga: now I'm not so sure that the firmware date matters, but I'm more convinced than ever that a full factory reset MUST be done after upgrading firmware. Sure enough, by rolling the two 5442 cameras that had the most recent...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    Yeah, I haven't had issues with the actual IVS (or SmartMotion) ONVIF events being passed along, it just depends for me on whether I can get away with the previously working (on all prior BI versions that didn't expose the inner workings of ONVIF) authentication. So in a sense, I can deal with...

    5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

    You may want to pass this along to Ken: unfortunately it isn't so simple with the 5442 series, as whether they work with ONVIF authentication also depends on which firmware version you have loaded (older or the most recent one). I have two 5442 cameras that have had no problem with the last...

    ONVIF alerts not working on 5.7

    You should definitely pass this info onto Ken at BlueIris: I had noticed the wierdness of the cameras reporting GMT in the Onvif Events log, but didn't know the full extent of the problem and the "why" behind it. The workaround hack (explained elsewhere, where we add a couple of extra trigger...

    Adding another POE switch

    It's not that the CCA junk will genuinely become obsolete; sadly, there will always be a market for those looking for the cheapest possible solution in our "race to the bottom" marketplace. Generally, most people will only do the research after it fails, only to then find out that yeah, it's a...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Hmm...may we ask what has changed in these newer versions? Just curious if they could be an upgrade for many of us.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Both work about equally well for me: on an I5-8500, CPU only system, the performance is adequate and roughly identical for now. Clearly CPAI is the direction all development is headed, so I'm hopeful for gradual performance improvements, and fingers crossed that the Coral USB support will...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Am I the only one who has successfully gone back to simply using the checkbox in BI that starts and stops the CPAI service automatically? It works for me just fine, just as it did under DeepStack as well. Try it out if you haven't done so for a while, it just might surprise you (and yes, you...

    UI3 is great! Is there a way to send sound alert when cam triggers?

    You might want to look into Pushover notifications, see here: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/send-pushover-notifications-with-pictures-and-hyperlinks.58819/

    Thank you once again @MikeLud1. I had seen that link somewhere in the main CPAI thread(s), but lost track of it before finally switching over from the 1.6.7 /1.6.8 (where the models were included), over to a 2.0.x series installation. I had tried searching for ONYX with no results.

    On a related note: if we choose to use Object Detection (YOLOv5 .NET) as we are running CPU only, it seems we are very limited in our selection of models, only the two that have been compiled in the .ONYX format. Is that correct? Any news on progress in expanding that selection to all of your...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Glad to see work is progressing on Coral support, hopefully we will see some dramatic improvements in inference time eventually. Two seconds is not really usable at this point, unless that is on a massively larger photo than the usual "medium" size models/images from BI.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Bingo, that newer version (by a few hours) of the 2.0.8 installer script took care of the issue. Thank you @MikeLud1

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Not so fast: I just ran an (upgrade, in-place) install of 2.0.8 over 1.6.7 and while it installed fine. it would not detect anything, despite playing with reboots, starting order of BI and CPAI, still no joy. So, I uninstalled 2.0.8, re-ran the install of 1.6.7 and then went through the process...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Close, but the one your are referring to is generally called a "cracked ice" pattern, also available in clear and white varieties (as is the P12 prismatic), and various grades (you will always want the acrylic ones, never styrene if you care how long they last before yellowing from UV). The key...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    If you are nearby a (mostly SF Bay Area based) TAP Plastics, they will sell you a small piece, cut to size (unfortunately their website doesn't show it as available to purchase online). Otherwise, most Home Depots carry it, see here, but you will be buying a roughly 2' x 4' piece and will have...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I am using one of the "new" generation DI10 IR units and have no complaints on the pattern or spread in my setup. However, if so inclined, the first thing I would try is bonding a piece of acrylic (not the cheap styrene version that will quickly yellow with UV exposure) clear P12 lighting...
