    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    It's pretty good - I use it and a mix of MQTT to do automations and monitor various camera groups from different locations in the house.

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    I managed to fix it - in the Blue Iris integration configuration I had to re-check boxes to include the all cameras and all cameras cycle as included entities.

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    I have the BI integration on Home assistant and since upgrading to BI6 the entity <servername>_all_cameras is no longer there. Is there any way to get this back? I used to have the all cameras that shows them as a big tile and a different all cameras that alternated through cameras one at a...

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    Agree that I should have thought about it in my original troubleshooting. I didn't put two and two together because I didn't notice the issue and was really focused on the difference between the web ui and the console. Lesson learned for sure though. These are complex beasts with a lot of...

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    I wouldn't - I've been fighting this camera since buying it. I'm not the expert that a lot of folks here are, but on the recent firmware I'm still getting reolink style ghosting at night and generally poor image quality. Going to keep tweaking shutter settings, illumination power and the like...

    Being that it's tied to firmware, not sure.

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    Thanks for the help - I spent the evening troubleshooting and using your settings with no change. What appeared to be happening is that with the substream enabled, it was messing up the main stream. The camera properties showed them both at the same resolution and just different bitrates. If I...

    Both the camera stream and BI Web UI are CBR.

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    Sorry, forgot to post - when I hit the stats for geeks, it appears to be streaming the main stream. I'm sure that it's set correctly because it works fine from the BI machine. That's what's confusing me, it's just the web UI that's not cooperating.

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    On all of my other cameras, when you go click on them to go to a single camera view it's a little bit blurry, but in about a second or so the image crisps up and you get a high quality view. However, my PTZ does not do this, it just stays blurry and poor quality. If I go to the web page of the...

    CodeProject AI/Coral - Thinks my mailbox is a person

    After a recent update to BI and CPAI, every time a car drives by, my main camera tags my mailbox as a person and sends alerts. I've tried privacy blocks on the mailbox and removing it from the zone, but it's still being tagged as a person. Any help is appreciated.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Has anyone gotten the firmware from Andy to work? Mine says it's an invalid package. REALLY hoping this makes the camera usable at night!.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Still hoping for new firmware on this guy. I, unfortunately, have one of these cameras and can confirm that the pictures while moving are often unusable.

    VPN Access works on WiFi, not LAN

    Ended up being a /8 network instead of a /24...not sure how that happened, but that fixed it, thanks!

    VPN Access works on WiFi, not LAN

    My OpenVPN does indeed assign a different subnet (10.0.1.x), but I can hit 10.0.0.35 (or whatever it is) that's my wifi adapter and not 10..0.0.110 that is my static LAN. From inside the network I can hit both.

    VPN Access works on WiFi, not LAN

    I am temporarily running BI on an old Laptop that has 2 NIC (one for camera network and one for internet/LAN) as well as a WiFi adapter. When I am on my home network, BI remote access is available via either IP address (wired LAN or WiFi) When I am on my OpenVPN trying to get to BI via the LAN...

    Help, ordered the wrong cameras and need replacement advice

    Yeah, going to see about repointing the motion lights in my backyard to supplement the camera - as far as Frigate - I got to thinking that just adding the NVR to the cameras would be more seamless than buying a mini-pc and moving Frigate over to that. Was really hoping for something simple for...

    Help, ordered the wrong cameras and need replacement advice

    I did, but not on this forum. I found ya'll pretty late in the game (yup, it's my fault, but I'm trying to correct that). My back yard is very dark and running the white LEDs for length at night just means I have a swarm of moths around the camera and light bleeds into the bedroom windows. I'll...

    Help, ordered the wrong cameras and need replacement advice

    I thought I was getting a solid setup during the Empiretech sale and ordered 3 IPC-Color4k-T-2.8mm, an IPC-Color4K-T180, a SD5A825GA-HNR, and the NVR5232-16P-EI to record everything. I didn't realize the 4 turret cameras won't work at night unless the visible LEDs are on and that's not really an...
