    Sunrise/sunset

    Ah, I see. So I need to select each profile to "draw" and make it's marker "relative to sunrise/sunset. I wonder what happens if you mark only one of these points. As that profile moved later say it would create a gap. Just played with this again and it looks like marking it for one profile...

    Little help with vacation settings

    I don't have a very complicated setup with Home and Away global profiles for 4 indoor cams and 2 exterior cams running individual schedules to override the global schedule with Day and Night settings tied to sunrise/sunset. My question is what is the easiest way to have the indoor cams stay in...

    Sunrise/sunset

    I have 2 outdoor cams that require different motion detect setups for night and day, lets say Day profile and Night profile. I see how to set each of these cams to override the global schedule and set the endpoints of the profiles to be relative to sunrise sunset. My question is do I need to...

    Another porch pirate

    New cam is set at 2MP for now and the native view not processed through BI is even sharper. But this is pretty darned good. I am actually going to install one of those lame Ring cams that will provide a direct porch view, but mostly because with all the advertising and such even your common...

    Another porch pirate

    This from a couple of weeks ago captured on an old indoor ACTi cam looking out through a screened window. The police caught the kid this week and he apparently confessed to several other incidents. This cam has served me well but the view out the window wasn't ideal and it doesn't have IR for...

    Another night at the zoo

    Here is what Rocky was up to in June. He'd come around every night and drain my hummingbird feeder. I finally cured him of that with a little critter electric fence charger deployed around the feeder. The day after this video he came and just looked at it and never bothered it again.

    Another night at the zoo

    First time I have caught Rocky Raccoon and Bambi the deer in the same frame. Pretty crazy... Rocky came by pretty much the exact same time he used to come to raid my hummingbird feeder in the summer. As I watched the video I saw him continue to that first deck post and climb right up to my...

    Geofence not honored upon server restart

    I just restarted my BI server that had been in Home profile according to the geofence setup, but it restarted in the work profile according to the default schedule even though my phone is in the house. Is this how it is supposed to work? Just thinking that PC restarts might result in...

    Geofencing set up but not switching profiles

    Never mind, I just took the car out down the block and it worked. Also worked when I returned and pulled into the driveway. I did get an app alert message but no tone.

    Geofencing set up but not switching profiles

    I have this set up with schedules enabled, 3 profiles defined (home, away, night). In the mobile devices I have checked the one I use with the BI mobile app and set the profiles for entering or leaving the geofence. But it doesn't switch profiles nor send me the push notifications. I have...

    how reconnect a deleted mobile device?

    I am setting up geofencing and wanted to use my new phone, which was on the mobile device list. In deleting some old devices I inadvertently deleted the new one. I don't see a button in the "Mobile Devices" tab to add new devices. How can I do this?

    HIK Vision web interface

    I prefer not to put square pegs in round holes. Life is easier that way.

    HIK Vision web interface

    Nope. It works great out back on my rear deck cam setup, just not in front. In front the issue is turning cars 50 yards away that then drive by with headlight bleed over and the camera view angle. I have successfully set up zone crossing here but the geometry of the situation makes it so if...

    HIK Vision web interface

    I agree BI is more powerful. It just won't work in this particular situation. If you saw it you would understand. So far the line crossing is 100% spot on with detects and zero falses.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I just tried line crossing and it does seem to work great. Man, I was struggling with this area for years on BI and had given up. No combination of gerrymandered zones and zone crossing would work reliably w/o many falses, or conversely, non-detects. I set up HIK line crossing last night and...

    HIK Vision web interface

    I suspect one could use the cams' native ability to send e-mail alerts on intrusion detect and line crossing independent of whatever BlueIris is doing. I may try that.

    HIK Vision web interface

    I need to go back into BlueIris to see if they have added their own smart functions. Basic video based motion detection is pretty useless in an outdoors environment.

    HIK Vision web interface

    Alastair, do you know if/how well the HIK "face detection" works? If it works that might be the answer to my challenging motion detect environment in terms of sending me an alert when someone approaches my home. I haven't fooled with it yet.
