    Keyboard shortcut to open Alert .jpg image?

    As the subject says, I'm looking to find this out. I use the double-click with the Control key to see the AI .dat file info, but easily/quickly opening the Alert image would be helpful. Thanks!

    Face recognition help

    License Plate reading image

    This is the alert image from the built-in AI. Does that mean it didn't continue evaluating images to see the license plate? None of the three images from this trigger show the license plate. What can be done to correct this? Thanks!

    Testing v6 and seeing issues with my ONVIF in-camera notifications

    I 100% use the in-camera AI to trigger alerts in BI. I started testing v6 today and noticed that my ONVIF alert notifications are different than what they were in v5. When these triggers occur, the notification I'm receiving in UI3 and the iOS app doesn't say "Vehicle" any more, instead it says...

    Bitrate setting on my 54IRs, can it be too high and effect BI performance?

    I'm working with Ken right now to troubleshoot a performance issue when viewing the live stream of a camera in UI3. Here is my main stream encode setting used on all of my 54IRs. Would I lose any noticeable picture quality by reducing the Bit Rate to 8192 or 4096? How about the Compression...

    Struggling to dial in front door camera settings to improve quality

    I have 3 IPC-E35IR-AS-3.6mm cameras from Andy @EMPIRETECANDY installed at each of my entry doors to the house. Clip and snapshot image capture is great at night. Daytime capture, particularly early morning and at dusk, is not so great. The snapshot image shows some motion blur and a little dark...

    Queue JPEG Post stopped working

    I have an event scheduled on each camera to save a JPEG every day at sunset. I've been using this event for years and then I noticed yesterday that none of the cameras successfully stored the event in the destination. I scheduled another event to test this morning, and it didn't work. I even...

    How to re-trigger when using ONVIF alerts from the camera?

    I use AI detection from my 54IRs to trigger alerts for people and wildlife. Sometimes the subject stays in frame for a while. Is there a way to have BI to continue to record the main stream until the subject leaves the FOV? Thanks

    Looking for the best way to take a picture every hour on a few cameras

    Anyone ever set this up? Best I can tell is that I'll need to create separate scheduled events to create a JPEG using the Queue JPEG post function. Thanks

    Need a new POE splitter to power camera and separate IR

    I installed a camera several years ago using a POE splitter to power it and an IR. Just recently, I noticed that camera is only running at 10 mbps instead of 100 mbps. I've reset the camera and POE switch to that camera multiple times, but the issue remains. I'm left thinking the old POE...

    Adding more storage for clips

    I currently have around 9 TBs of storage in my BI PC as a second drive. Given that I have 12 cameras, I can only store about 4 days worth of clips with continuos recording. So instead, I use Continuos Sub +Triggered. I would prefer continuos recording, so what are my options? Would an external...

    Camera ONVIF trigger alerts in Blue Iris - Considering using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection

    If I'm using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection to trigger ONVIF for Vehicles, does the first trigger win, or could using both of these at the same time cause two triggers in BI? Thanks

    For those that have used both... Is onboard AI detection more accurate than CPAI?

    I first started with CPAI and it worked well for me. I then converted to using the onboard AI detection on my Dahua 54IRs to detect People, Vehicles and Animals. I've been pleased with the Dahua AI. I thought I'd miss the ability to detect different types of animals or vehicles, but I don't. How...

    ONVIF trigger labels

    I've noticed that UI3 now has a "Wildlife" option to filter animal triggers. I currently use my camera's AI for all of my triggers and would like my animal triggers to be filterable using the "Wildlife" filter. If I change my ONVIF config for each camera to use Wildlife instead of Animal for the...

    Best video driver version for HP EliteDesk 800 G5?

    Looking for advice on my new BI PC regarding the best video driver. On my previous PC, I had to go through several different drivers to find one that wouldn't cause BI to escalate the CPU over time. Here's my current info, would appreciate thoughts. Thanks

    UI3 default screen layout setting?

    I just stood up a new PC for BI. Every time I go to UI3, the screen layout reverts back to what I guess is the default. I select the camera group I want to see and select "Clips" view, but it doesn't get saved. I have to do this each time I connect. On my previous PC, this didn't happen. Is...

    Decided to upgrade my Blue Iris PC... is this a good choice?

    I have 20 cameras. The majority are 4 MP at 15 FPS. I don't use Deepstack AI, instead I use the camera's AI and use ONVIF triggers. I'm currently running BI on an older Dell OptiPlex 3010, specs below. I found this PC for sale and I'd appreciate input. Thanks...

    Need to recommend a system for a family member... looking for suggestions

    My system that works exceptionally well is based on all cameras from Andy and Blue Iris. I have a family member that would like to install a camera system. They would never be able to use BI, so I'm looking for NVR options that are user friendly. I know nothing about NVRs but plan to start...

    ONVIF rule criteria for triggering events in BI

    If my Amcrest AD410 doorbell camera is providing this information for when it detects a human at the doorbell. How would the BI ONVIF rule need to be created in order to trigger BI for the event? In BI, the camera shows that the ONVIF event status is "ok". Thanks

    I really like my Amcrest AD410, but I'm ready for a PoE option

    Something that's a similar size to the AD410 that support PoE is what I'm looking for. Also, it needs to work with Blue Iris. It's been a couple of years since I looked into doorbell cameras. Would appreciate any replies that can suggest PoE options. I pre-wired this area with the expectation...

    Continuous Sub + Triggered storage requirements

    If I have 16 cameras all using substreams with D1 (704x480) resolution, using Continuous Sub + Triggered, would this calculation be somewhat accurate? The Equivalent Bitrate number does seem to change when I select different resolutions.

    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    I have several new cameras from Andy and they are awesome! Tremendous upgrades for all my cameras from only 3 years ago. A new to me setting available is SSA backlight. My FOVs almost all include areas of bright sun and shade due to my surroundings. Selecting SSA seems to really improve the...
