Can someone explain this check box, I just noticed it :)

Yes, on the main BI settings (Gear Icon) tabs, under AI, you may notice that BI has "found" all of the custom models (ipcam-animal, ipcam-combined, ipcam-dark, ipcam-general, license-plate, etc...). Without any further instructions, it will try to analyze every trigger against ALL of the models available, potentially adding a lot of time and CPU load to every trigger.

Here in the dialog box you show, it allows you to define a subset of those to be run by CPAI for the specific camera and profile you are currently looking at. You might for example want ipcam-combined in the daytime , but switch to ipcam-dark for the nighttime profile, or potentially add the ipcam-animal model to either (or both) profiles, saving analysis time and CPU load. Or, any single model or combination that makes sense to you in your application.

Thank you...that should be in the help file. You made it perfectly clear !

Yes the new look is very nice, I like the flatness (no gradient) of the coloured camera bars/headers, the purple hue from the old blue and the black background on the drop-down options, feels much more modern but also without looking like it was designed by a 12-year-old or making my eyes bleed which can often be the case with more modern designs.
 
5.9.9.87

Help PDF: no changes

Changelog: highlights are mine

[5.9.9.87] – 2025-10-02

Added
• Mouse wheel usage with time controls in the calendar window in increments of 1 minute per wheel click. The OS does not currently allow developers to determine which time field is selected in this control.
A "view changelog" button on the "check for new and updates" window ... see screenshot

Fixed
• An unexpected socket close during streaming resulted in an unblocked thread (high CPU on one core) until the socket was reset (watchdog reset of camera)
• Canceled alerts were immune from database maintenance

Changed
• Clips with open files (but not recording) now show a grey border instead of red to avert some confusion and to match the record icon color in the camera header.

Hmm...5.9.9.87 seems odd to me: the timeline that previously showed multiple (3, in this case) color bars representing the camera colors of the selected group were now merged into a single purple timeline "blob". I couldn't find a way to change it back, so I reverted back to 5.9.9.86 for now. Can anyone else confirm similar behavior? I don't see any change log notes that indicate this as normal or expected behavior.

Same here - a single timeline bar.
Furthermore, the timeline bar context memo seems to be broken.

EDIT: Actually the context menu selection 'Show timeline view' doesn't toggle the view in 5.9.9.86 either.

Time line view was working with the separate colour bars in 5.9.9.86, but there is just a single colour bar in 5.9.9.87, the show/hide time line works for me in both versions!
 
Has anyone noticed changes in the encoder profile? I'm not sure what changed but now in the Mobile App and in UI3 the quality is in the toilet
Same for me with the mobile app - I scroll through cameras on tablets and when moving from one camera to the next the very first 1-2 seconds the display is very grainy and then becomes normal. It does that every single time it scrolls through the cameras. I am on 5.9.9.87. It used to be find a couple of versions back.
 
5.9.9.88

Help PDF: no changes

Changelog: highlights are mine

[5.9.9.88] – 2025-10-03

Added
• N/A

Fixed
• "Wildlife" views may have shown all alerts (even hidden) instead
• Timeline color bars when running as a service

Changed
• "timeline" JSON command response times improved
• Migrating extension, fourcc from extra.dat to records.dat, a DB compact may be required to complete this process for proper timeline display and faster "alertlist" load times.

Just checked again. It's still not available from the BI website yet.
It's available through the program though for some reason my BI UI window closed every time I tried to update. Eventually after a few tries I managed to get it to download it and update.1000017710.jpg

Same issue in 5.9.9.88

This must be an android issue because I’m not having any issues on iOS. Have you reported it to BI support?

EDIT: From the response of others it doesn't look like this is a widespread app OS specific issue. You must have something else going on.
