    Latest highly-stable update, any chance this can mean something?

    I've been running various flavors of Linux since the late 90s and using Docker for about 10 years. Frigate is still a challenge. It's gotten easier since they have moved some stuff to a GUI but a lot of it is still hand editing a .yaml file for setup.

    Latest highly-stable update, any chance this can mean something?

    I’ve been holding off installing any of the “stable” builds. They seem buggier than normal. Im moving my home and father’s house to Frigate. After playing with it a couple weeks, I like it. I just can’t move my business to it as it lacks some of the functionality I need that BI provides. But...

    Installing an Axis speaker to run the door checkers off

    In the Alert Tab for the specific camera, hit the "On Alert" button. There you can add actions when alerts are created. In the Axis speaker, you can create links to specific audio files that you upload to the speaker and you can then trigger the speaker via the link. So I just input the link...

    Speaker doing its job. Nice and loud.

    My EmpireTech cameras do not support NTP server setting via DHCP option 42, do other brands allow this?

    This is the answer. OP needs to host DNS and then hardcode the domain name of the NTP server in each camera. It's a bit of work to setup, but then it's easy in the future to change the IP address of the NTP server in the DNS host file.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    Just another reason why BI should not be exposed to the internet and a vpn should be used instead… Ken is not a cyber security expert.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    Yeah, I just know how buggy BI is. No way I would expose that program to the wilds of the internet. I get what you are saying, but BI isn't open source either. You could roll your own Wireguard VPN which is exactly what Tailscale is with a GUI on top of it.

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    But you don't have to expose the BI web server to the internet if you are using either of those. It's hidden behind the VPN. You just have to connect to the VPN first via whatever client you are using (e.g. phone, tablet, etc..) to access the service. Maybe I'm not understanding what you are...

    6.0.3.1 - Broke my webserver

    This. I can't fathom a reason why anyone would be hosting services without using ZeroTier or Tailscale.

    Installing an Axis speaker to run the door checkers off

    I got it up and installed this morning. Not really very exciting to look at like cameras are. I installed a little grab handle above it in case I need to work on it in the future with no lift. Metal roofs are slippery and there are no hand grabs where that thing is located. Overall I'm...

    Are you talking about UI3 when you say webserver??

    BI 6.0.2.7 - very odd alert behavior

    I had the same thing happen on his current stable. I emailed Ken about it and he had no clue and had never seen it. I ended up deleting the camera and re-adding it and it hasn’t happened again. Needless to say, there are bugs even in his stable as far as AI is concerned.

    I'll do it when I get it hooked up. I have it back down and awaiting install tomorrow.

    I just hit mine with spray paint. Seems to stick ok.

    Installing an Axis speaker to run the door checkers off

    I get transients and bums on the back of my commercial property no matter how many fences, "No Trespassing/You are under Surveillance" signs, lights, and cameras I install. Had one last Saturday night checking my back entrance door: I have BI sending a "You are trespassing" audio clip when...

    Yup. I also have galvanized pipe outside on my generator. Paint will protect it from rust

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    This thread should really be locked for member posting in all honestly. Really wish Ken can figure out a way to not suspend recording during db rebuild/compact. I lose ~2 minutes of recording every day from 4:00am to 4:02am. Hope nothing important happens during those 2 minutes...

    Two way talk on the 4k-x?

    That did it! Thanks @wittaj !!

    Thanks for that! I'll give that a try when I get home.

    Two way talk on the 4k-x?

    Curious if anyone has gotten two way talk working with this camera. Trying to get BI to play an audio file to the camera speaker when BI is alerted but I can't get it going. Talking with Ken back and forth and he seems to think two way talk isn't supported on this camera. However on Andy's...

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    This is seemed to have fixed it. I changed timing to 750ms and then went with 2 pre-trigger frames and 2 post trigger frames. My actual trigger is only 3 seconds long so 4 frames x 750ms = 3 seconds. Seems to be working like a champ!

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    Alright thanks. I’ll give that a try. Those were setting I am using for LPR as well but didn’t think that I may need different ones for people.

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    Trying to figure out why this particular alert was not confirmed. Shows as a person with 82 percent accuracy. Can't figure out why it didn't confirm it and left it as canceled.

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    I ended up just using dumb motion detection in the camera itself in a zone that covers the sidewalk only. Then I trigger BI via ONVIF with that zone and BI can confirm the alert with AI to determine if it is a human or not. Working great so far and easy to setup.

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    It's a 4k-T cam. No, its not auto. Settings are dialed in. It's never been very good at IVS at that distance to the sidewalk at night for me.

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    Yeah, I do a mixture of that. IVS sucks at night from my testing and years using Dahua. Hit rate is 50/50 at night. It's spot on during the day though.

    Using a mask for motion detection but have AI analyze entire scene?

    Just figured out that if you use zone/hotspot in BI, then AI can only "see" what you have masked in the zone. I was under the assumption that you could use a mask to detect only a certain area of the scene but then apply AI to the entire scene when it comes to confirming alerts but this is not...

    Natural Gas Generators

    7" WC (1/4 PSI) is standard that gas/LP appliances use so that is generally what any gas utility will deliver out of the meter. Fortunately It's a simple call to tell them you want it upped to 2 PSI. They will change the output regulator on your meter so it kicks out the higher pressure but...

    Natural Gas Generators

    Yup. @samplenhold make sure you have your gas pressure coming out of your meter upped to 2lb if it isn’t already. It’s probably 1/4lb or 7 W.C. currently. If you leave it at 1/4lb, the generator may starve the rest of your gas appliances for gas when it’s running. The only downside of upping...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    I wish he would push the next stable update to something other than 6.0.0.1 so I can at least start playing with built-in AI. I emailed him today and he said that is still the stable version.
