    Anyone running DeepStack 2022.01.1?

    I just installed it this weekend after upgrading the box I run it on. I have a RTX 3060 and this release runs out of the box. I had to go through a tedious upgrade process to get the docker container working with the 3060 using the old version. They finally updated DeepStack's CUDA library to...

    Anyone installed an IR illuminator indoor behind windows?

    If you have Low-E windows it may not work well. I have older windows without a coating and my IR illuminator works perfectly behind the glass.

    Cameras through windows. Temporary Ghetto Rental install.

    I installed a camera peeking out of a window in my attic. It works just fine. I obviously turned off the IR illuminator and pointed a separate illuminator out another window in a closet to light everything up. You do get some loss of quality, but it's still quite good, even at night.

    IP Covert PIR Motion Detector Camera

    I ended up with one of these with a Sony sensor. Image quality isn't too bad, but the firmware is easily the worst I've ever seen in any product ever. IE only with an ActiveX plugin! Utter garbage. I'm wondering if one can flash it with something better, but I haven't found anything yet.

    Christmas Sales 2021

    Did they add auto day/night profile changing? One review I saw from a few years ago claimed that didn't work. Other comments claim it may work now.

    Any outdoor fisheyes, e.g. the IPC-EBW8630?

    Blue Iris Log4J Insecurity?

    I don't think BI is written in Java, is it?

    Yes, but for my application, I'm not really concerned about size.

    Curious which app you use and why

    I'd love to find an alternative, but everything I've looked has serious issues, e.g. temperature limitations, poor performance, etc. Next summer I want to install one of those corner cameras.

    Do you have cameras like the IPC-Color4K-X in a turret or a PTZ?

    Curious which app you use and why

    That said, I use Ring Pros at home (I got two free) and I pay for the service. It's generally pretty good for $30/yr.

    We use it at work. It is jenky.

    Newbie, need advise on how to connect IP camera home system

    It was likely a connection in the patch panel. I swapped some of the cables and it made no difference. I then ran a cable directly from the PC to the switch and that fixed it immediately.

    Newbie, need advise on how to connect IP camera home system

    I have 6 cameras. My PC dropped to 100 MB/s due to something happening with a cable. BI could not keep up with even 6 cameras, all 4 MP or better.

    Main/Substream and poor alert image quality

    After a few back-and-forth replies to the BI folks, they claim this issue will be fixed.

    Snow - blow me...

    I was using the built-in IR illuminator, so that was likely most of the problem.

    Snow - blow me...

    I had terrible problems with rain on an exposed bullet camera. Adding DeepStack completely solved the spurious motion alerts for me.

    IP camera that sends image to server

    Running Blue Iris is pretty easy and you can download video from its web interface. It can also upload alert images via FTP or send them via email. I have cameras from Amcrest and Dahua. They can both upload to a NAS, FTP or local SD card. I have one Hikvision camera and it can upload to a NAS...

    Install on eaves from attic

    I considered mounting a camera to the deck fencing, but I was worried about wind shaking the fence and vibrations from people walking. The FOV would be pretty limited, however, since we park a vehicle 15 away.

    DeepStack Case Study: Performance from CPU to GPU version

    Are these on a sub-stream? I think the 50ms times from the cheapest 30 series RTX are hard to beat for sub-streams for the money. I have it sample 3 images, once every 750ms. I was worried if the system got motion alerts on several cameras at once. A 250ms time could get backed up with 4-5...

    Install on eaves from attic

    Exactly. My home position for the front camera looks down my sidewalk to the driveway. The DeepStack integration lets me know when a person is walking up before my doorbell cameras notice due to the geometry of the house. The 25x zoom really does gives me a good view of things happening down...

    It's more like 22-25 feet up, 35 was the size ladder they (said) was used.

    Support suggested the tips here: Action Maps (Alerts) - Blue Iris However, I was already doing that. I'll keep dialoging with them to see what they can do.

    I did yesterday. Very strange. No word yet.

    Main/Substream and poor alert image quality

    Interesting. The files in the alerts folder appear to be full-size, but they are excessively pixelated. But the dimensions are still much larger than what's being emailed.

    Correct. Low-res. Here is the screenshot.

    Main/Substream and poor alert image quality

    I've been there. Yes, I have mine set to scale 100% and I still get small images. I'm attaching 3 images, however.

    Main/Substream and poor alert image quality

    Yes, I have done that for all cameras when I set up the sub stream. It sends low-res images via email regardless.

    Power Consumption Question

    I think it would be more accurate to get a battery that you can use with a solar charger that's rated for heat/cold and try it out. There are losses with solar chargers, batteries drain when idle, heat/cold affect battery capacity and lifetime, etc. There are lots of variables with power usage...

    Install on eaves from attic

    From the Amazon listing, this camera weighs 1lb but is a PTZ. Not really heavy. I've had professionals out to install the larger, heavier PTZ. That did not go very well.
