    Anyone having success with CPAI + Coral on Raspberry Pi feeding BI?

    I have an ESXi hypervisor running Windows 10 for BI for many years now and started using CPAI for detection a couple of years ago using the custom ipcam models. Detection works fairly well but the detection times are really bad (500+ ms) so I am experimenting with using a Coral USB I had access...

    Renewal / Key

    Eventually credit cards expire, etc... so no, it does not "solve that issue" 100% of the time.

    Renewal / Key

    I was able to copy the details to a file on a NAS that multiple machines can access. I emailed BI support again and Ken added the support to my license. I work with a lot of licensed software in my job and it would be nice if BI just had a customer portal you could log into to manage your...

    Renewal / Key

    My BI installation is running on a machine that does not have an email client installed, so I really can't email from it directly. I did reach out to them by forwarding them the receipt from Perspective Software and they still haven't gotten back to me and it's been two business days.

    Renewal / Key

    Just want to comment/revive this thread. I have run into the same issue with Perspective Software renewal. Maintenance on BI expired, I purchased a maintenance renewal, then opened the activation link which appears to point to socket 9999 but my BI instance runs on a different socket.... when I...

    De-activating won't break anything, worst case you just go to straight demo mode.. just make sure you have the current key. If you do the "email support" button from the settings area and then paste what it copies into a notepad document you will see the current key, make sure you have that for...

    I think that indicates that the product is checking that the license is valid and getting a bad response from the server or not getting a response. If the server on the BI end has been restored it is odd that this is happening. Potentially you can solve it with what was previously advertised...

    No, I don’t update daily. I updated to the latest stable release when I updated the maintenance license on the installation several weeks possibly even a couple of months back.

    FYI, they appear to be back up as my product automatically shows my maintenance extension that is good through next summer.

    I think you might misunderstand the problem. It has been reported that the problem occurred when BI instances were unsuccessful in phoning home and re-confirming activation after BI server crashed. This put the product into eval mode. If this is in fact the problem then having your license key...

    Yes, agreed. Cloud hosting of servers is cheap, and redundancy in servers is almost always an option as well. If data/server are properly backed up then restore at most is a matter of hours not days.

    Well, They will likely be dealing with angry customers for months over this and possibly lose business over it. Whatever melted, they probably won't make the same mistake twice.

    Follow-up. I was able to locate my BI5 key and do an offline activation so I am finally re-activated. However, I was not able to do offline activation of my maintenance extension, so I guess I'll have to sit tight until they get their server recovered. Hopefully they had a good backup strategy...

    Blue iris evaluation version

    As I mentioned I cannot find my original license key, I purchased the software quite some time ago and while I am usually pretty diligent about keeping these things I am not able to locate it. I've emailed support and will just wait on them to help me out hopefully later this week or next. I...

    Got bitten by this and never checked the forums. Unregistered my license key in the process of troubleshooting it and not sure how I'm going to recover it now. Good times.

    2023 EmpireTech Spring Sales

    There was a coupon running last month so I believe the price was similar, but yes, maybe it's a few dollars cheaper now, thanks for the response.

    2023 EmpireTech Spring Sales

    I'm in the market for a couple more cams (bought two 5442s from Andy over the past month) and the price on AMZ for 5442 is about the same as I paid in Feb? Did I miss the sale?

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    Didn't take stock in suggestions? I was simply confused about how the feature was working and commented on that. IVS was suggested, but after fiddling with it a bit it seemed like it would take a little more work to get set up properly so I went ahead and turned the AI back on. The AI...

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    If that's true then person detection on the camera is fooled by a flapping piece of black fabric which is pretty gawdawful. :)

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    That's useful information but that wasn't my experience when I tried turning it on. When I turned on smart motion detection and person detection and set BI to record on ONVIF events it recorded all motion... I got 150 alerts from the cam in the span of 30 minutes due to a BBQ grill cover that...

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    To me, the Dahua SMD makes no sense, since you have to turn on general motion detection and it seems as though it switches the ONVIF to an alert state whether there is person/car detection or just regular motion detection. It would make more sense if you could turn on SMD without regular motion...

    Review-IPC-E3241F-AS-M Loryta (dahua) 2mp 2.8mm mini dome.

    This camera was suggested for an entry area cam. The install guide for the camera shows needing a wall bracket for wall mounting. Can the camera be wall mounted and the lens oriented and rotated to provide coverage? The camera it would be replacing is shown in the photo below.

    The Axis AI detection works amazingly well, I just can't justify the cost.

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    This is really helpful information, wish I had known this when making determinations on what to do when initially setting things up. I believe the new generation Axis cams do support this, but if BI does not support it then not much point to doing it. I love the Axis cams as they are built...

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    Okay thanks. BI with the Dahua and Open AI seems to be working quite well with the one camera. That camera only needs to alert on people really. CPU load doesn't really look to have changed between the 4MP and the 1.3MP cameras so that's actually pretty good.

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    Thanks for the explanation. I had run across threads where it was argued that the camera smart detection should work as well as using AI and that just had not been the case for me so I was getting confused. I went ahead and turned on the Open AI for now, set it up, and it seems to be working. I...

    Smart Motion Detection generating a lot of false positives

    I just ran across this thread as I am trying to get this going myself with a 5442 Dahua that I am evaluating to start replacing cameras in my system which are quite old Axis P3364-LVE 1.3MP cams. First off, just trying to understand why Dahua Smart motion detection can't be used. Is it that BI...

    Hey all, I'm just this week trying to get this working with BI (just upgraded to 5.7 today was running 5.6.8 up till earlier) and AI version 2.0.7. I started playing after upgrading BI from a several months old release and being prompted to load Project AI. I tried finding primers for doing...

    Migrating from Milestone to BI5 - High power usage during evaluation

    Well I just set each of the 4 cams to Intel video decoding and I didn't get any errors and they are still running. Won't know how well it's working for a bit of course.

    Migrating from Milestone to BI5 - High power usage during evaluation

    I don't really understand the point of this as it does nothing to further the conversation, wherein I'm trying to evaluate BI5 for my uses. The Axis cameras were purchased over the span of a few years (my last one purchased 2+ years ago) when I could score a really good deal on eBay I would...
