    I crashed my blue iris, need suggestions

    Thanks Wittaj, yes I use substreams. My issue resolved in a different way: My last ditch effort last night was to restart (and update) Win 10. I have BI set up to automatically come on line after an outage or shut down occurs. When I got up this morning BI wqas up and running as usual except...

    I crashed my blue iris, need suggestions

    Tonight I looked at the BI5 system status and noted that the Intel GPU (i3-3470 has QuickShare) was not being utilized at all, on any of my 10 cameras. So after reading the BI help about video settings I selected one camera, went to its video settings, at the bottom right corner selected Intel...

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    I wrote to Viofo support and suggested a new market for them in backup/rear view cams. The priorities shift a bit with the need for a larger 5" or more monitor and a camera rated for outdoor use.

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    Has anyone tried a dash cam for their RV? I installed a backup cam years ago and from the git go the image was pretty bad, especially at night. In fact at night I usually turn the monitor off because the glare is so bright it destroys my night vision, nothing like our home cams. I think the main...

    Full time Rear View Trailer Cam Suggestions

    Im trying this in the Dash Cam forum, seems closest to my question. We tow a 22' trailer and I have a relatively inexpensive rear view wireless camera mounted top center so I can see what's behind me and whether any cars are about ready to pass while I"m changing lanes, it provides a good sense...

    Tailscale user help needed

    Thank you Flintstone. I went to Web Server, changed the LAN address to a previous one, checked "bind exclusively" and hit OK. Then I went to the BI phone app, "Get IPS", it brought in the "new" (or is it old?) IP address same as on Web Server, hit Save, then Connect, and it loaded. I then...

    Tailscale user help needed

    Looking for Tailscale users please. TS used to work for me but doesn't anymore for some reason, so I'm trying to troubleshoot and I don't understand this very well. I am no longer able to access anything BI from my phone. I have 2 "machines" in my TS, one is my BI server and the other my...

    Ok,I'm having a PTZ moment. Help me out!

    If you mean stop it from doing a "tour" or "scan" you've set up, then that's from the Dahua GUI / PTZ / Function / Tour or Scan, then delete it.

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    I haven't gone back to try again, been busy in retirement:-). Not sure I can answer with a lot of tech background but here's what I've seen. When I installed ZT I had to tell it what my "nodes" (devices) were, especially my BI PC. Part of ZTs security is reassigning that PC with another very...

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    Yes, and I forgot to mention I'm using Firefox although I could also use Chrome or Pale Moon. So UI3 (from GitHub) doesn't need to be loaded on the remote PC in my den, which is on the network? ZeroTier assigns a new IP to the BI PC; for example, from my phone while on WiFi or not, the LAN...

    Group Auto-Cycle

    Edit 4/9/2024: Revised screen shots and explanation after learning more. SOLVED Here are the settings I found that do what I needed, which is to alternately display one group, then another, in an auto-cycle. From this view, select the circled gear icon to bring up the group settings for that...

    Group Auto-Cycle

    I've read the manual about group auto-cycle, but I may be mis-interpreting what that means. Here's what I'd like to do if it's possible to do it. I have 4 cameras for the front of our house and defined as a group called "Front of House" - very original, I know. I have another 4 cameras in a...

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    Need some help installing UI3 on one of my desktop PCs running Windows 7 Pro. This is a separate computer in my office NOT containing my dedicated BI system. I use ZeroTier, which is probably irrelevant at this point, but I've tried entering the LAN IP in my BI phone app (IP created by ZT)...

    Night of Fluffy Clouds

    Very nice, thanks for sharing! I saw your other YT of Orion and the satellite. I have an IPC-B52IR-z12-s2 coming soon and I'll have to try some stargazing at the 12x (60mm) "telescope" setting. My real telescope is a 10" f/5.6 tracking split C-ring Dobsonian I made a long time ago, but never...

    Where to find scripts for PTZ "On Call"

    To close out and answer my first question "Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself": Answer: In the BI Manual, go...

    Where to find scripts for PTZ "On Call"

    For your Part 1, maybe I didn't say it very well but that varifocal doesn't have presets in the GUI like my PTZs do, so not an option, maybe to avoid unintended abuse. I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.

    Where to find scripts for PTZ "On Call"

    Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself. I have a 2017 Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z (zoom only) without the PTZ/Preset...

    blue iris and digital zoom problem

    TBH, can you elaborate how you get to, and turn off, the digital zoom with a CGI command? I have an older Dahua that is stuck at about 1-1/2x digital zoom and scrolling out to 1x (no digital zoom) is fine while I stare at the image but as soon as I view another cam and then come back to the...

    PTZ Cam Stand-Alone Trigger

    In theory, if I have a Dahua PTZ292 cam as a stand-alone camera (i.e., don't use a separate trigger cam) and..... - Preset 1 is set to widest angle as default position - create (for example) 4 detection zones A, B, C, D - when zone A gets triggered the PTZ goes to preset 2 and zooms to that...

    Can't find PTZ Home position

    Next step is getting the PTZ window to override the trigger cam window when triggered.

    How to control loiter time with trigger cam and PTZ camera

    I have been frustrated with finding the right setting to get my PTZ camera to hold, or "loiter", at a preset position triggered by my trigger cam, but I found it. In the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control...

    Can't find PTZ Home position

    I FOUND IT! See the attached image, Not able to paste a snippet for some reason, but in the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control the loiter time when directed to a preset by the trigger cam. I played with...

    Can't find PTZ Home position

    I have the old GUI and it has idle time, and it seems to apply equally to all preset numbers, which is fine if it worked. I have it set to 1 minute and doesn't work, the camera moves to position and immediately goes back to preset 1 without pausing. Ri22o: with your newer GUI do you get to...

    Can't find PTZ Home position

    Hi again, I now have multiple trigger cams and clones directing my Empire PTZ292 to 7 presets. Triggering the trigger cam makes the PTZ move to the proper preset, however I can't figure out how to make it return to Preset 1 (preferred home position) after some period of time, say 30 seconds...

    My camera names changed by themselves!

    I figured out how to fix it and it appears to be a function of the All Cameras layout: In the top right of the screen I clicked "Edit Layout" and it was not in order. It's been this way for a day or two without problems like what I described. When I rearranged the layout in numerical order...

    My camera names changed by themselves!

    This is weird, has anyone seen this before? When I pull up the All Cameras view on my screen and right click for Camera Settings, the name, short name, and notes appear from a different camera. If I go to that different camera, it's name, shortname, etc. have been changed to (what used to be)...

    Zerotier help needed

    I may try that.... I noticed this morning that my connection still worked (on cell, WiFi off) however it took a minute and I had to turn ZT off, they on, and did the same with the BI App. 2 hrs later I had to do the same. It seems something in the path is going to sleep. Now that I've been...

    Zerotier help needed

    Thank you Sample, I tried those things and still no connection via cell phone; however it is working now. I did a few things but one or more helped it seems: - In BI WebServer I changed from an obscure port number to :81. This updated both the LAN and WAN port settings. Last night I had also...

    Zerotier help needed

    Last night I was able to turn my phone wifi off and force Zerotier and BI through outside cell connection and it worked fine. This morning it doesn't work anymore. ZT is running on my phone and on my BI PC, so I'm questioning the settings in the PC, both in ZT and BI. For those who are...
