    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    That worked. Thank you very much! @bigredfish @wittaj This new ui is very new to me indeed. All of my current cams are the older IPC-HDW2231R-ZS.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I just rebooted. The setting is still acting the same. IVS can not be independently toggled (grayed out). But it syncs with Acupick either on or off.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I just received a color4m the other day, and will use my existing blue iris system for recording and alerts. I'm trying to set up IVS on the camera but the button is grayed out and seems to be synced with the Acupick button. Toggling on Acupick also toggles on IVS, and toggling Acupick off will...

    Blue iris alerts delayed by 4-10 mins

    I made another email account using gmail to test. I normally use comcast/xfinity. The delayed sms remains. It hadnt previously occured to me check the online email account via comcast.net. It might show sent emails there. Good advice.

    Blue iris alerts delayed by 4-10 mins

    Well I am having OP problem as well. I tried playing around with push notifications to help troubleshoot the issue. Some are instant. Others take 15 minutes or more. Push doesnt provide an image thumbnail either although it is set to do so. I agree with you that sms is most likely an att issue...

    Blue iris alerts delayed by 4-10 mins

    I have the same problem. It just started a few days ago. SMS alerts to our phones are 15-20 minutes late. This was never a problem before, ever. I rolled back BI to an earlier update, no change. Im starting to think this may be an issue on the phone carrier's end, ATT in my case.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I figured this out. For whatever reason the *.exe file renamed itself to DahuaSunriseSunsetexe.exe; new feature of Win10? I found a couple other third party apps had done the same. Renaming it correctly fixed it.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I did that. Tried an earlier version as well. I just checked some logs and the machine had a windows update recently as well. Im thinking thats what broke it. Just not sure how to fix it.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Just recently I noticed my camera profiles were not switching over. What is happening is the service is not starting. The utility service throws an error which states that utility is "not a valid win32 application". I am using the most recent version 1.6. Any idea what would cause this?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I am having an issue when AI Tool is running as a background service and not actually in an open window. It is not receiving alert pics from BI. If I open AI Tool in an active window, it works as expected. Anyone else experiencing this? This is running on the same physical machine / windows...

    My thoughts on the Edge Vector algorithm (work in progress)

    Do you still have a B zone for tracking?

    My thoughts on the Edge Vector algorithm (work in progress)

    Three zones A, B, G (filler zone). Motion trigger from zone B>A. I use object travels as well as reset when object size exceeds xx. I also found it is necessary to increase the value of "object size exceeds" when used with "cancel shadows" unchecked. For instance, the mail person started...

    My thoughts on the Edge Vector algorithm (work in progress)

    I'm going to try and keep this short. Just wanted to share my findings with fellow members who may be having difficulty with the edge vector algorithm. My system monitors my home. I normally use Gaussian for everything, and I feel the settings are dialed in pretty good. Just a couple trees that...

    Ordered one from Andy yesterday. I'll be the guinea pig.
