    APC backup power supply questions…

    APC (now Schneider) customer service is also good. I had a UPS start beeping at 2 years, so they sent me another battery free. That didn't fix it, so they sent another APC UPS (same 1500M), also free, which did fix it, and now I have a second battery to rotate in. I power all my computer stuff...

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    @MikeLud1, is there a reason that IPCam-Combined is not in the AiModelPack download?

    Blue Iris Version 6.0.1.24 Now Supports Custom Models

    for most cams I use IVS and Onvif as the trigger source in BI. If I want to use the AI models to confirm, will it do that with just Onvif selected or do I have to add (or replace) with BI's "Enable Motion Sensor "as trigger?

    Year 2026 - What's the sweet spot these days for a used eBay computer for Blue Iris

    Keep in mind that you likely can update your machine to Win11 if desired with Rufus .... I did it on mine easily (i7-6700 Optiplex7040)

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    can I get weather in BIT without having a personal weather station? I tried to get a WU api key but after creating an account it says I need to buy and install a weather station to get a key to put into BIT... otherwise it always says "error connecting to wunderground..."

    HDD recommendation

    Thanks, yes, I did see the newer Elitedesk pc's had only one drive bay. I haven't had issues with one purple drive yet, just thinking ahead if I add more cams than the 12 I have now:) I run 15 fps now, mostly continuous substream until triggers. I figured splitting the cams to two HDD was a good...

    HDD recommendation

    Thanks Flintstone61, I think the combo of lack of connectors, space, cooling, and maybe power makes having two 3.5 drives (and the SSD) unlikely in the Optiplex SFF (there was no cd/dvd) . I was hoping someone had successfully done it and could offer ideas, but it seems no. I'll live with the...

    HDD recommendation

    not to hijack (ok, maybe a little) but how could I add a second HDD to a Blue Iris OptiPlex 7040 SFF machine? It already has a 2.5 ssd, and one 3.5 WD Purple. Any way to add a second 3.5 Purple? I assume not inside..???

    Version 6.0.1

    i tried that, but the option to select additional models is grayed out for me... seems like either Yolov8 OR IPcam-combined.... not both? or would you use only the IPcam-combined instead?

    Version 6.0.1

    I tried deleting unwanted objects from Coco.names but triggers still show objects I deleted, like umbrella, motorbike, tennis racket, they are no longer in Coco.names but still show up in the DAT report.

    Version 6

    That was what I was thinking. (and I dd have it enabled yesterday just to see, and it alerted ok during the day...but missed all alerts at night (car driving up driveway). Not sure I had it set up right, but still, as Wittaj said, "If it ain't broke..." So IVS it is.

    Version 6

    I started with cpai and it did a decent job of filtering out the triggers from BI (that was set to trigger on evereything). It did eliminate most false triggers (rain, snow, wind, small animals, sun/shade changes) and alert me to people, cars, and animals (I fight the deer problem!) Then when...

    Version 6

    I'm wondering how the new built in AI in V6 might function with the IVS rules in (dahua's newish) cameras. The IVS (animal version) rules work great to trigger when needed, and I have (almost) no false triggers. So what would I expect the new built in AI to do? Just another confirming layer...

    Version 6

    When you are quoting BI's CPU usage, are you looking at the actual usage in , say, Task manager, or at the CPU percentage reported by BI at the bottom of the timeline? That number, for me , is higher than the number windows reports, I think because it includes all windows usage. So BI says about...

    Version 6

    If you mean the clips list, yes, CTL + scroll the mouse will change the size of the thumbnails.. Ken changed it, but the info hasn't made it to the help file (yet) I think. I also asked about making the clips list less wide, but that's a wish list item.

    Version 6 Beta

    Latest note in BI "news and updates" says " End of the line for version5, do a new full install for version 6" does that require an uninstall of v5 and having to re enter all settings manually now? (the version on BI.com shows as 5.9..9.99)

    Whats the catch with Annke?

    I have the Annke FDC600, a fairly cheap 180 degree cam, and it works great as an overview camera... triggers well, Onvif, all that. All my other cams are Dahua (EmpireTech), but at the time Dahua didn't have a 180 that also had IR, which I wanted.

    I'm seeing same error when trying to load a bookmarked page for a camera, but if I put the exact same IP address into the address bar, it does load fine. The addresses are identical!
