    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    Yes it does. Also in my case all I care about is the memo baked into the alert below 216-R-2806058_K. I attached 2 pics one from the BI directly and one from the UI3

    Yes to all of your snapshots, with exception to AI confirmation. I don't do AI confirm. Metadata exists

    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    Here is the brake down of what I have: Can you provide a bit more detail about moving your Alerts to a different drive folder with 100GB quota? - I have selected 5 cameras that are set to receive external API hits that generate specific ALERTS with the specific MEMOS. It is set under ALERTS tab...

    no worries at all @jaydeel, and thank you for your feedback. I did more poking around and found the solution. I have a special case here you see, i need to keep memos for up to 3 months so at any point I can go to 'search' and type in the memo text and that will populate alerts with tat memo. It...

    feedback: steps I listed above did not work. Alerts are there after DB regen, but memos are gone. @jaydeel I will experiment with your script tomorrow.

    Thanks @jaydeel , so will this work: Option to save alerts with memos in case you need to delete the DB, reinstall BI, etc. change settings to 'add to DB, create hi-res JPEG' auto flag alerts(may not be necessary) set alerts folder to 1GB and to move them to another folder on a separate...

    hi all coming back to this thread with the different question/issue. I wonder if I can backup/save the alerts with memos? So here is the story, I have the system working flawlessly and creating the alerts with memos as i wanted. Then the system's DB grew to a point where it started to show...

    Hi, I have reinstalled the OS and was hoping to locate the license in my email after, but can't find it anywhere. How do i recover the license ? I have 1st 5 and last 5 digits. The system is in demo mode now and I need to reactivate the license. Thanks.

    MyCommerce/Digital River meltdown

    Anyone can guide to where and how to buy upgrade license after digital river is gone? traditional click on 'UPDATE' within BI software takes me to the non-existent d-river site. Thanks.

    Good afternoon All, I am happy to report that after testing a few approaches I finally got it to do what I want! @jaydeel , big thanks for pointing me in the right direction with your 'snapshot' option. I did not use it, but it opened up another path for me. So I read the manual and found...

    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    @Tony, I did. No change. Also, did try with 'pre-alert trigger' and 'on alert'. Also tried /admin?trigger=Cam1&memo=text still not working. I need to see a working example of the use of /admin?xxxx. Thanks.

    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    I tried the use of /admin?camera command, but again fruitlessly. I am thinking of a different approach. The best would be to use code project AI OCR module, but I don't think BI has this capability or will integrate. What I am looking for at the end is to be able to dynamically assign labels to...

    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    @jaydeel , I wish I was a coder :). I am not a coder ,but know a couple of tricks when it comes to scripting/python/ps. I did try the first option you provided (thank you for the detailed writeup!)and ended up simply re-writing the txt file the trigger alert was creating. Most likely I am doing...

    Would like some help adding external overlay to camera

    Thank you @jaydeel . I will try this tonight and update the thread. The end game plan is to have custom label attached to the alert image in the list so later I can use search box to look for it. I tried using exiftool for which I can create a script to run on trigger and rename the saved alert...

    Hi @JNDATHP , I am trying to find an example of &MEMO macro. My use case is that I want to add text to the alert image title when triggered. Exactly what Codeproject ALPR does when detects the plate. I looked everywhere and could not find a functional solution. I did look through BI manual and...

    OCR option that sends the imager to the OCR module.

    I have a specific case where I want to read numbers from the display and add them to the alert list just like LPR. I use ALPR in BI and it is reading the license plates with success. I tried to use ALPR for my use case and it is not working though it should read the numbers. CPAI has a module...

    Cam trigger sends text message, but does not run a script

    Hey guys, not sure if this is still interesting for all who ask, but I got it working on my system. In my case I am running the powershell script on trigger. In order to execute the script you need to change the execution policy - Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope...

    Is it possible to send snapshot via email on a schedule?

    @DLONG2, you are correct! But again it depends if what you are after is - MISSION CRITICAL. In my very specific use case a MONTHLY email is not critical in terms of shifting. Also, if I upgrade the BI or detect the server reboot I make the addjustment. Not as convenient I agree.

    Is it possible to send snapshot via email on a schedule?

    Hi All, after the detailed look at various options I have discovered that the 'GLOBAL SCHEDULE' in setings has an option of 'EXECUTE ACTION SET EACH' where one can specify the number of minutes for the interval to repeat. I then created an action withthe 'DO' command - 'TRIGGER' and camera '#'...

    Is it possible to send snapshot via email on a schedule?

    Thanks, I was hoping for something less intense ☺️ like maybe a built-in option I didn't know of. I am familiar with Cron and python but will fiddle around with other options.

    Is it possible to send snapshot via email on a schedule?

    Hi All, I am looking for the similar option but my required timing is monthly. So the scope is the following: cam 1 to take a snapshot once per month snapshot to be emailed I can mange the action but only within 24hrs. Is there an option to attach calendar within BI? Thanks.

    TOP-201 camera

    Got it working. So in my case the combination that work was to choose TOP-201 from the drop-down menu and then manually changed media port to 34567. Originally when I tried either ONVIF or TOP-201 from drop down and then find/inspect it was sticking port 554 or 8899 into "media port" box. Case...
