    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    Just placed my pre-order for the $87 Reolink POE doorbell today. The estimated shipping date is October 17, 2022. I'm very skeptical it'll work well with BI, but I'm looking forward to comparing it to my current wifi LaView LV-PDB1520F1 (rebranded Hikvision DS-KB6403-WIP). I would still much...

    Possible heap corruption - what does it mean

    Just got this "Possible heap corruption" error today on v5.5.9.6. Don't think I've ever seen it before. Guess I'll see if it happens again.

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I didn't realize the Dahua VTO2311R-W has POE. I guess I better go read looney's review again!

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I've never purchased a Reolink product and mostly hear frustrations from other users here, although it sounds like recent firmware updates have improved compatibility with Blue Iris and addressed some of the biggest complaints. I'm mostly curious about that upcoming doorbell because I've never...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I never thought I'd say it, but I'm looking forward to the Reolink doorbell coming out this fall, with the POE option. I'll wait for reviews, but if I block it from the internet and use it with BI, it could be a decent replacement for my current wifi doorbell...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @bp2008 are there any additional caveats with UI3 when using the new "direct to wire" feature in BI 5.5.9.0, beyond what's mentioned in the help PDF? Thanks!

    Rip off alert - Digital River ripping off users on BI support

    Good point. Sometimes I'll get an email response within 5 minutes of sending it, other times it'll be weeks. I suspect it depends on whether he's in the mood to deal with the topic at the time, or not. Or if it's related to a recent update, like you said.

    Rip off alert - Digital River ripping off users on BI support

    I'm thankfully not seeing any double charges here. Do you think there's really any difference between priority support and regular support? I pay for priority because I think BI is a good value for the money, but I seem to only get responses to my support emails about half the time, and often...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Of course you did, incredible! It works perfectly. I grabbed ui3-local-overrides.js and edited lines 4 and 5 to include the camera shortname and group: Then I dropped it into the ui3 subdirectory, restarted BI, and now I have PTZ control of that camera while in group view: Thanks again...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Is it possible to control the PTZ for a single camera while viewing a camera group in UI3? For instance, select the camera so that the PTZ controls are enabled, but remain in group view? I searched this thread and the UI3 settings but couldn't find it. Thanks!

    BI can control PTZ with WAN address but not LAN address

    Hello, I have an Amcrest ASH21 camera on my wifi network that I've added to BI. The video stream works fine but BI cannot control the pan/tilt of the camera when using the local IP address. However, if I edit the camera's IP address in BI to my external WAN address and momentarily port-forwarded...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Makes sense, thanks. I'm sure many people don't know or appreciate the amount of effort you put into it, myself included. :) Donation link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bp2008

    Blue Iris UI3

    Very nice job @bp2008 on the UI3 timeline! The glowing blue "current time indicator" is cool and the overall functionality is excellent. Thank you! What does the gap between the recorded video and the current time represent? Not yet written to disk? (Yes, I have each camera set to a different...

    Beware of Z-Wave 700 series controllers

    @bp2008 thanks for posting! I'm just getting started with HA and this is helpful. I'll likely order the Nortek HUSBZB-1. Are you using an zigbee devices? I've heard from a few people that instead of plugging the HUSBZB-1 directly into HA, I should consider running ZwaveJS2MQTT in Docker with...

    Ring opens its app to non-Ring cameras

    I just read this news story that Ring will soon allow users to add 3rd party ONVIF cameras into the Ring ecosystem and take advantage of their app, notifications, event history, etc. It sounds like a bad idea that I'd personally never want to use, but I still found it to be an interesting move...

    I cannot get Amcrest ash21 cameras to connect to blue iris

    I have one working with these settings, except for no PTZ control. I believe there are two versions of this hardware, v1 and v2, (not referring to the colors) but I'm not sure what the differences are and Amcrest won't clarify.

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    Made it partially through the setup instructions but ran out of time before work. Setup was more involved than I anticipated. :) Looks impressive but I'm going to hold off for now. I'll follow this thread for updates.

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    @MikeLud1 this is excellent work, as always! Thanks for building and sharing! A bit of a side question if you don't mind, I'm wondering if I would be able to display the plate characters on screen using BI's overlays, like I'm doing currently with the Plate Recognizer integration? Example:

    Blue Iris Login heads up

    It looks like Ken made some changes to the status notification options in the past month or so. I’m also getting more granular notifications for status entries.

    How Do I Export At The Same Rate As Stored Clip

    It still sounds like a framerate issue. What framerate are you recording from your cameras at in BI? And when you play back your exported clip, what does it say the framerate is? Do you see the same result when viewing the exported file in various programs? VLC vs Window's "Movies & TV?" Do you...

    BI and Win11?

    During one of the recent Blue Iris webinars they said a number of users are already running Windows 11 and haven’t reported any issues. They also mentioned they’re not aware of any known compatibility issues. But that said, I’m in no rush to move to Win 11 :)

    BI camera settings for using different Deepstack models per profile

    That portion of the AI settings could use a more intuitive interface. The method to specify which models and objects to use or exclude is pretty rudimentary. It works and I’m grateful for all the features, but hopefully the usability improves as the feature matures.

    Blue Iris iPad app works well on M1/Apple Silicon Mac

    That’s great! I forgot that Apple Silicon Macs can run iOS apps. I’ll have to try this tomorrow. Not sure what benefit it would give me over UI3 or remote controlling the actual PC, but more options are always nice.

    Camera installs and builds.

    Looks cool, thanks for sharing! Do you need any other brains between the cellular modem and the camera? Like a raspberry pi? Or does the camera talk straight to the modem?

    DeepStack LPR Custom Model

    Nice job, @MikeLud1, glad I could contribute my LPR images to help train the model. This is what I've been using to only submit LPR images with a confirmed license plate to Plate Recognizer to stay below the monthly quota. The addition of night images helps, as well! Thanks!
