    Suggestions for camera(s) for weather - looking for 360° view

    I live in a rural area, around 3,500ft elevation, mountainy region. Weather can change very rapidly, winds can be high (so it can rain and snow almost horizontally at times...) I was considering installing camera(s) on the roof, taking advantage of a TV/weather station mast I already have up...

    Lightning strikes

    I just came across this post as I was looking for something else. I live in a mountain area and get lots of thunderstorms... I have three outdoor spots where a sealed junction box houses a POE switch, and the lightning was frying ports all the time, used to buy a switch every few months. The...

    It's working!!!! v2.2.4 Only tiny issue I can see is BI thinks it is on a different version of CP AI but who cares!!!

    I'm trying to download it now, it's painfully slow for some reason. I will update here as soon as I check if it works

    How to install PoE camera with limited attic access?

    a PTP radio link with Ubiquiti, if setup properly, will work really well. I have 3 such links to cover areas of my garden where I have cameras located and where I do not care to reach with a long ethernet cable. For short distances, the cheaper units will do fine, I have three 4-5mp cameras on...

    Stream from (cheap) camera unstable at higher bitrate?

    Many thanks for your comprehensive and fast response - totally aligned with you. I just thought that increasing the bitrate while leaving the framerate lowish would actually improve performance on the camera side, but of course I do not know the details of the components used and their ratings...

    Stream from (cheap) camera unstable at higher bitrate?

    I submit this to the collective wisdom here, as it doesn't make much sense to me... I would assume that a higher bitrate setting on a camera implies less compression and therefore less processor load on the camera side. This test I ran on some cheap cameras, I have not tried the same on my...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    According to what I read on the CP AI forum, there are still issues even with 2.2.3 but they're being worked on, on the BI side too.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Yes, on the list of things to do. Can't quite yet. I am running BI and other servers in a rack, and have an old VGA monitor connected via KVM for when remote desktop doesn't work. I need to get a VGA adapter so I can use one of the ports on the GTX1060, since all other servers are also connected...

    PS - what a beast of a card you are running... with 56GB memory and 300+ operations/second :)

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Thanks. Thought so. So I just tested as you suggested. So the .net directML version uses GPU0 (my onboard intel) and the 6.2 uses GPU1 (the GTX1060) I guess there is no way of making the .net use GPU1 - I thought I read somewhere that performance was improved when using directML vs CUDA...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Mike, yes was reading about that on the CP AI forum. But there still is also the issue of BI not detecting CP AI is running, and that the config for auto start/stop for the service, or selection of the custom models doesn't work. Nonetheless, with CP AI running and having selected the custom...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Do you find 6GB is not enough memory? With these issues I have been unable to see what kind of CPU/GPU usage I'd get in challenging conditions (think garden when it's windy). I'm currently running 10 cameras via AI ranging between 5mp and 3mp (most of them are 4, two are 5) at 15fps and using...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Just a quick update on the topic. I started off on CP AI 2.0.8 with no GPU and the latest version of BI - all working fine. Decided to improve performance. Obtained and installed a GTX1060 6GB card, and started fidgeting with CP AI... naturally at the time the 403 error started appearing...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    Was a long journey, but it is possible to now to access blueiris information and create associated devices in Homeseer using the JSON interface and Homeseer + mcsMQTT plugin. These devices can be used for a variety of applications now, and their historical information can be saved to InfluxDB...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    That sounds very nice indeed! I can do quite a lot in HS with vb.net so I suppose interacting with your suite shouldn't be too complex I tend to use plugins - like I am doing now for mcsMQTT since normally many housekeeping functions are handled better than I could in a simple script. My level...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    OK, I'm starting to see this JSON interface is not that trivial... if you want to have a laugh and see the struggle, head over to the HS forum post and take a look... after a lot of work managed to get a proper response and the camlist data, but still some work to be done on (a) the MD5 hash...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    Yes, that's why I was thinking of using the mcsMQTT plugin. I believe it will parse the JSON and allow me to create devices based on that... it would simplify a lot. Nonetheless, regardless of how it goes, I may implement your solution as well, so I have a log file to review with camera fps...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    Ahhh, I could try. I will drop Ken a line. In the meantime, Michael (who wrote the mcsMQTT plugin for Homeseer) over at the HS forum has suggested an approach with the mcsMQTT/Cloud (JSON) functionality I could test to see if I can retrieve the values that way... so I will test both this and...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    That's a nice idea actually. Once I have the fps attached to a device in HomeSeer I can use mqtt->influxdb->grafana to review historical data... this is getting really good!

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    I will probably use a scheduled event from HomeSeer to parse the file and get the data I need... it's a shame the camera selection is only available in the do command... if it were also available with http/mqtt I could simply use macros in the payload and send to HomeSeer or interact with the...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    Well, I have 4 and 3 are rock solid... one of them is a bit wonky... on occasion, it decides to do a "eth0 down"... and UISP/etc do not record that as an outage... so you need to go and fiddle with it... firmware is up to date, power supply is good, ethernet cables too... just one of those...

    [SOLVED] Can FPS value be monitored and accessed? HomeSeer & BlueIris via JSON

    I do not know, I will look into that too, thank you. If there an easier way than writing code to interact with the JSON interface, I will take it! Thanks for the idea, I will investigate
