    13 piglets in one small trap...

    Well, all that hard work and backyard engineering finally paid off. I modified a donated hog trap with a wifi module, winch, and door actuator to be able to "hunt" from my warm recliner. For several days now, a momma and her litter would visit my trap. As their confidence grew, my patience...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    Ha, you'll have to compete with my neighbors who all want some too. It's hard to be the bad guy and say no sometimes... just keep scanning eBay. There is a glut of these from businesses who no longer need them now that the plandemic has passed...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    Just an i7-7xxx with 48GB of ram. I have everything tweaked to try to minimize cpu load and average around 40-50% when there's not a lot of activity. During rain, fog, or windy days it gets up in to the 70-80% range. Ken has really done a lot to allow my older system to handle all the...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    LOL, yes... Though I'm up to 75 now that Ken upped the limit to 128! The way he said it would require a complete rebuild to increase the limit, I assumed it would never happen... Then one day, in a barely noticed changelog item, it said limit increased. What a happy day that was.

    Direct-to-wire seems broken under latest releases

    I reached out to Ken and he suggested forcing an update to the newer .96. Apparently there were two versions of .96. After installing the newer of the two, the problem resolved. I can now see live D2W streams on UI3. However, my overall performance on UI3 seems very choppy when looking at...

    Suggestions on dialing this in a bit during rain at night?

    Yeah, it's comical, no doubt. Except for the alerts ;)

    Direct-to-wire seems broken under latest releases

    I operate with all of my cameras on a profile which uses direct-to-wire so that the raw stream from the camera is pushed through to the client without any manipulation by the BI server. Thus, no overlays, image changes, etc. That's fine, as it results in a sharper, more fluid video compared...

    Need help tweaking motion detection on a thermal camera in a tree...

    Interesting. Sometimes they move very slowly so I'd be concerned it won't pick up enough movement to trigger, but I will try that as well in a bit. My thought with the reset is that when the image sways, I have easily 30% or more of the pixels changing (much like a bug/headlights) for which I...

    Need help tweaking motion detection on a thermal camera in a tree...

    AI sucks on thermal video. I don't know how to train models, so I'm stuck using the standard motion detection as a trigger. My camera is a tree (about 20' up), and as such, subject to swaying in the wind. Consequently, as it moves, the motion triggers with every gust of wind as the entire...

    How do I record a single picture, once per day?

    I did this before, years ago, where I took a photo at noon every day for a year and the stitched them together as a video showing seasonal changes. It's been a while since I did it, and trying to set it up again, I don't see the options that existed previously. Now, under jpeg I see only...

    Does CodeAi work on thermal images?

    So how does one train a model? If I go through and mark "nothing found" as "confirmed" in BI, does that "teach" the model? I wouldn't think so, since I can't correct it to tell it what it really way, right?

    Does CodeAi work on thermal images?

    I've finally started using the AI again on a few cameras. For the daytime optical it seems to be pretty accurate - or accurate enough. However, on my thermal cameras AI is discarding nearly everything as "nothing found" despite very obvious captures of animals. Is there a different model that...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Brian - just a big thank you for adding the "swipe to switch to next camera" ability when viewing solo cameras on a phone/tablet. It was the one remaining item I sorely missed from the app. Kudos.

    Upgraded BI from 10/24 to current, deepstack remained need help switching to CPAI

    Has that always been the case? I was certain I didn't install it manually the last time I rebuilt my machine. But my memory is apparently not reliable any more.

    Upgraded BI from 10/24 to current, deepstack remained need help switching to CPAI

    I am helping a friend remotely to upgrade from his BI5 version from Oct 2024. He paid for his maintenance license and applied successfully, but when I clicked on the update icon, it brought me back to the screen to enter the key for maintenance. The main general tab showed a current valid...

    Coyote down... Sorta

    Oh man, I'm sorry to read about your treatment. I wish you the best of luck with your prognosis. Have you heard about Fenbendazol? There's a very compelling first-hand account from a guy in OK (IIRC) who had the worst possible news. But has broken all kinds of records for survivability for...

    Coyote down... Sorta

    They're bad up here in TN... Come all hours of the night and early AM. Rutting my in-law's yard bad. Not as bad as the boar, but enough, like you said, to blow out an ankle/knee/back. I'd sit on their porch and wait, but the mosquitos are almost as bad as in FL right now.

    Coyote down... Sorta

    I have the 15-22 as well. Lots of fun plinking. Get a can for it and sub-sonic ammo and you can shoot things without making any noise (other than the bold action and target report).

    Coyote down... Sorta

    This guy and his buddy are visiting my chicken runs/coops every night. So far they haven't gotten any (that I can tell). Last night, his luck ran out. I may have cured his addiction to chicken. Shots were from about 50 yards, through a peach tree. 5.56, two shots, both hit. This was...

    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    I just fired off an email asking Ken to add a validation process when remote upgrades are triggered. That way the user can either be prohibited from updating entirely, or at least warned that continuing to upgrade will put the system into an evaluation/trial mode. Makes complete sense. As...

    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    Oh man that would be such a relief. I'm sure that's what happened. I used that UI3 green update prompt earlier today to force an update without giving thought to the subscription having expired. That makes a whole lot more sense. I'm on version UI3 version 296, Blue Iris version: 5.9.9.65...

    Blue Iris renewal mandatory now?

    My priority plan expired this month, and unlike in the past where I just no longer qualified for updates, now I'm getting "Blue Iris Evaluation Version" watermark on all cameras. I really don't want to believe that Ken has gone to a 100% subscription service, but it's looking like that. I've...

    Black bear and her two cubs...

    Managed to capture some pretty neat video of a bear that keeps visiting my feed plot. Generally it's discouraged to feed them, and you want to do everything you can to have them "move along". In part, because they run off all other game, but also because if they don't get fed, they begin to...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    All cameras have their own subdirectories under alerts. No camera is configured to save under the root alert folder. There are only two PO cameras, and all profiles are synced with the first profile. So that shouldn't be an issue...
