    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    Here is a summary of my BI network setup: Spectrum internet, solid 240Mbps down, 30mbps up. Main router WRT1900AC, second router WRT1900AC (set up as an access point) and another, AP: Unifi AP. I have about 45 devices (wired and wireless) connected. Most of them (90%) are connect only as needed...

    Anyone using YouTube to live stream multiple cams from BI?

    I've got one of my cams live streaming on YouTube from BI, so far so good. Would appreciate any insight if it's possible to have 2-3 live stream cams in one "feed" so you'd see all 3 live streams at once. I've asked on the YT forums but it's pretty quiet there and read and played around with the...

    BI UI3 streaming vs YouTube stream?

    That's what I thought too but then again I could have swore I read somewhere that BI doesn't send individual streams to viewers... I've been trying to find that info this morning (without luck).

    suggestions solicited for more accurate trigger config

    I'm pretty sure I've tried a few pixels and edge vector before but I just set 2 hotspot pixels and turned on edge vector. Problem is that I"ve tried so many combination of things over the past 6 months I might not be 'hitting' on the right combination of settings. Today is a windy day so let's see.

    suggestions solicited for more accurate trigger config

    I've tried that, with little/no success since the limb sways in the wind ever so slightly. The owl house is on one of the bigger limbs to minimize swaying but it does move enough to always trigger. I've tried small hotspots and larger ones with no consistent luck.

    suggestions solicited for more accurate trigger config

    I have a cam pointed to my owl house and, for months, have tried to tweak settings so that it's only triggering when a bird (owl), squirrel is in front of the hole. There are certain parts of the day where the shadows from the leaves in the tree trigger it and, while i know it won't be 100%...

    BI UI3 streaming vs YouTube stream?

    I have an owl cam and a bird feeder cam that I've set up for my neighborhood using BI and a neighborhood login so everyone can watch, 24 hours a day. I recently set up a test stream from one of the cams to a live YouTube feed. Is there any advantage in regard to bandwidth usage if there were 10...

    SSD drive vs conventional hard drive

    I read in the BI suggested Hardware that, because most of the data on a surveillance drive is useless, RAID isn't necessary. I agree with that I guess because when you need that 2-3 clips it's only then that it becomes real important. Still I'm curious as to whether or not some type of RAID is...

    SSD drive vs conventional hard drive

    Good information here and I did some research on a solution for replacing my 2 tb BI clips drive in my QNAP NAS with a 4 tb Seagate Skyhawk surveillance hd. I noticed in the BI recommendations (that BP2008 wrote up) that RAID isn't generally recommended but the article does mention if using...

    SSD drive vs conventional hard drive

    Good points. Will look into a surveillance type drive as listed above. Now, just need to find the sales and deals :)

    SSD drive vs conventional hard drive

    Wondering if anyone here has replaced your drive that stores your clips/videos with a SSD drive and, if so, was there any noticeable improvement in playback or anything else for that matter. I'm needing to replace my 8 year old HD with something else and don't know if it's worth the money to go...

    Free (or close) IP camera streaming service for BI cameras

    Does anyone know of a free (or close to it) service that I can stream 2-3 Blue Iris IP camera feeds to? * I have tried youtube several times over the past 2 years and it has only proven to be too problematic for me, so no youtube suggestions please* Would prefer as compatible to BI as possible...

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    Still not seeing any love. Settings as you suggested in both posts above. I'll keep playing around with it, maybe try intrusion next over tripwire.

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    That's odd because I did all of that but will double check it again... thanks!

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    Do you have a Dahua camera that does this? If not, what camera are you using this for and can you shoot me some basic settings you set to make this happen (to check if I'm doing this right)

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    That's a great idea but it looks like my Dahua camera doesn't support onvif triggers for my BI to see. :(

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    Thanks. I thought I saw a way to still do this via Onvif from the Dahua camera, you're right, maybe I was looking into this for a Hikvision camera I had at the time. I've since saved a backup of the camera's reg file, then deleted the camera and started with similar basic triggering parameters I...

    Using camera's motion detection over BI motion detection

    I'm trying to troubleshoot some motion detect issues in Blue Iris and would like to do some testing where the motion detection in my Dahua 42212TNI camera triggers the video capture in blue iris. So in summary, I'm trying to set up a scenario where Blue Iris triggers are off, and the camera's...

    Microseven M7WP-MIC microphone with Dahua42212TNI - buzzing noise

    Update: I never reported back here that the humming started up again... VERY long story short, I tried to use a ground loop filter, which didn't work. Then I just replaced the mic with another one and immediately had zero humming noise, good audio. I'm very happy now. The mic I bought was...

    Dahua camera video that "rubber bands" a trigger across the screen

    Hope the subject line enticed you to investigate the post further :) I have two Dahua camera on each corner of my home, in the front, facing the street. My 'west' Dahua is a Dahua 42212TNI and my North Dahua is a SD49225T-HN They are both positioned to crisscross each other's that to see my...

    Microseven M7WP-MIC microphone with Dahua42212TNI - buzzing noise

    Both of the cameras that I use this microphone on are POE. There is no external power supply for either of these cameras, still your findings may help someone else.

    Turn on indoor camera when leaving home

    I have an indoor camera that is set up in BI but never records unless we leave the house for an extended period of time (trip of a day or more). I have to manually go in and turn on the trigger I've set up for it as well as the sound trigger and then when I come home I need (want) to turn both...

    Does "Override motion zones" interact/interfere with general motion trigger mask?

    If I set up a full screen trigger mask under the main motion zones (Zone A) and then I set a preset #1 and used the override motion zones" for a smaller area in the same video frame, which mask is active when I choose preset 1? Both masks or just the smaller mask for preset 1?

    Basic novice question for advanced user about triggers

    jaydeel, I did your #1 and #2 steps. I used "P1" for preset 1 and "P" for my normal trigger/motion sensor. The image shows a P1 (masked out) for my preset 1 override. When I turn off override, then the image shows "P" as expected and records video with the "P1" and other masking I'm using for...

    Basic novice question for advanced user about triggers

    Forgot to answer your Active zone map issue. I had the same problem where, in some cases, it would show Active Zone map: none, when there should have been a preset 1 or preset 2. After many hours of tinkering I figured out my issue was related to my preset that was using a command to run...

    Basic novice question for advanced user about triggers

    I've made this change for 2 days now and the triggers are behaving like I expect them to with the preset override motion detectors, but only when I cleared out the zones/hot spot under the main tab. This has been an issue for me for at least a year now. There were so many times when I didn't...

    Basic novice question for advanced user about triggers

    I think I said that wrong... should I clear the original trigger mask (under trigger tab) when using preset trigger mask for each preset.

    Basic novice question for advanced user about triggers

    Just when I think I'm an advanced BI user I get stumped by something that is probably basic :) So most of my cameras are PTZ and they all have PTZ presets (at least 5 each). Most of these cameras also use the presets under the PTZ/Control, where each preset has it's own motion detection based on...

    Thoughts on new DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 4MP PTZ?

    Lewic, I'm not sure if I'm following you on not programming a scene... I have two scenes programmed on the camera's GUI (day and night). My day scene turns off IR and WDR on @ 50%, my night scene turns on IR and WDR off. At the moment I use the scheduling on the camera to turn on my scenes but...

    Thoughts on new DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 4MP PTZ?

    I have the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3W and would like to know if there is any way I can program a scene in a preset? I'm trying to use BI to control the night/day and wdr function but can't find a way to do that using a http cgi command so I thought if there was a way to accomplish this by setting up a...
