    How I got my Nestcam to work in Blue Iris

    I will. Understood that nest can break it at any point. In terms of bandwidth, I have enough overhead for this. I didn't realize how nice it is to see the doorbell cam with the onvif cams. AI motion detection and all.

    How I got my Nestcam to work in Blue Iris

    I've been using the new Camect device. It works seemlessly with my Nest doorbell. Did not need to set up a stream (neither pw protected or not) like above. Just logged in with my Nest credentials. It would be really nice if BI supported this, or at a minimum, a PW protected stream.

    Blue Iris vs Protect vs Camect

    I used a Dahua NVR before BI. It did not work well for me. sluggish and counter intuitive. BI works much better for me. I think that all three of these, BI Sentry, Protect, and Camect use the cloud for the AI motion alert processing and not the local NVR.

    Blue Iris vs Protect vs Camect

    I would guess that future versions of Camect will have more capacity. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it works. They have a ways to come, but compared to other tech crowdfunded projects I've supported, this one is pretty good. they do have the best motion detect AI I've used. It...

    Blue Iris vs Protect vs Camect

    I've been a happy BI user for just over a year, big thanks due to this community for helping me get off the ground. For the past 2 - 3 weeks I've been testing the Unifi Protect system and also the crowd funded Camect NVR. All three of these are good systems and each has strengths and...

    That link to the beta program does not work for me.

    Sentry Questions

    Thanks. I;ve got Sentry up and running now. Will try the beta program. Is there a way to remove the excessive verbiage from the daily summary email? There are paragraphs that are the same each message, when I am really just interested in the stats and pics and videos.

    H.264 vs H.265

    Thanks. You’d expect using the latest codecs would be on the roadmap, especially when it pays dividends in HD requirements/capacity. Seems like this is a reasonable expectation for a major release, like v5. h.265 isn’t exactly new. Maybe he is holding off for h.266 and will skip h.265...

    H.264 vs H.265

    Thanks. Is this a hardware/Intel limitation or a BI limitation?

    H.264 vs H.265

    I'm using BI 5.0.5.8. When I started using BI, I beleive that it did not support H.265 video, only H.264, or that it didn't support intel onboatd graphic hardware decoding of H.265 and that H.264 was the preferred codec. What is preferred for the newer version of BI? Is H.265 as good as H.264...

    BI5 - Recordings Missing

    This is fixed, thanks. I had replied saying this, right before the site was upgraded. I think the reply was lost in the upgrade. At any rate, somehow my record folder on all my cams became New, instead of aux1 or aux2. Put this back to aux and it is working fine. it seems that all of my other...

    Sentry Questions

    I'm 3 days into Sentry. It is so far, pretty excellent. Very few false alarms. It is 80% good on Human recognition. I do not get any vehicle or pet (45 lb dog) alerts on any cameras. I do get the occasional "Motion" alerts. I thought that Vehicle and Pet alerting had been coming or already...

    Thanks. I was able to set it this way. Hopefully it will stay. Stand down, I will report back if there are further issues.

    Watch Dog Web Server Monitor IP

    I don't know if this is related, but since I upgraded to BI5, my Watch Dog Web Server Monitor IP Address does not work. I am unable enter the address in this field and cannot find another location to enter it. It makes no difference if I tick "Auto IP/PORT" or not. Also the refresh button...

    BI5 - Recordings Missing

    I recently upgraded to BI5. Since I upgraded, recordings are not saved. I presume a behavior id different between BI4 and BI5. I did export and then import my BI4 config into BI5, other than this, it seems to be successful. Any tips where to look for these and resume recarding AND saving...

    Sentry alerts not triggering homeseer

    Maybe, but this is off topic and not relevant to what the OP was asking. He's asking about BI triggering HS and that not working with Sentry. I just set up a second camera off of the one that I use to trigger HS. I think that it will work fine with HS if I don't use Sentry with it.

    Sentry alerts not triggering homeseer

    Think of it as a work around until a final solution is achievable. I have 9 cams, but only use one so far with HS. Just setting up Sentry now, I may end up doing this. Another option might be different profiles using Sentry or not.

    Sentry alerts not triggering homeseer

    Maybe a workaround is to create a second camera in BI for use with HS and don’t send to Sentry? Could use a sub stream for this.

    How I got my Nestcam to work in Blue Iris

    This is cool, and easy to set up. Unfortunately, I will not have my Nest (doorbell) streaming and not pw protected. Hopefully the share stream with pw version of nest streaming will one day be supported.

    BI5 Admin + Menu

    That did it. What happened is that I was NOT using the desktop icon, but the pinned to taskbar icon. For somereason, that one was "User" and not "admin". When I pinned via rt clicking the task bar running BI indicator, it pinned "User". Rt clicking the desktop icon pinned "admin" to the...

    Thanks. What is/how do I do this? I don’t think I did this with BI4.

    BI5 Admin + Menu

    I just upgraded to BI5. 1) 6 hours later, when I open a console session (it runs the service no problem), it asks for user/pw. This is new. How do I turn this off? 2) After entering "admin" credentials, the menu button is grayed out and will not activate. This was working when I set it up...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Thanks. The sub is for unlimited (up to 24MP) cams, but the device includes 2x lifetime cams? It looks like a sub is $99 after the first year, presuming backing the first year with the device.

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Thanks. Is there a limit to usb or nas storage size? Can a larger internal drive be installed? I think I will give this a shot. I’ll do the annual sub. I presume it will come with a trial? I think both that $60 seems pricy for what it is doing, email, internet forwarding, and alerting...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Is there a wall mount for it? A rack kit would be cool, but it’s form factor doesn’t lend itself to it. Any chance it could be POE powered? Those would really increase the flexibility for location, installation, and security. How many hours will it store at 24M? What are storage upgrade...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Does the Indego lifetime service apply to the person or the product? It would be nice if, at least for the First gen backers that it applies to the person and can be used with upgraded revs of the hardware. Based on my crowd funding experience, rev 1 hardware is often quickly obsolete. I...
