Re: Record only motion when B/W

Sort of a strange request without the details. Why would you want to record only when in night mode? Is it a time of day thing that roughly matches your interest? A schedule that roughly matches local sunrise/sunset would seem the best bet. Or is it because its a room and you just want motion when t...

Re: Gmail

Gmail has recently stepped up security requirements to use their service on 3rd party platforms. I suspect that's the reason.

You need to do:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: OAuth2
Then your username/password credentials.

Re: Best way to add another monitor

At risk of sending you down a new rabbit hole, you can also pull the streams from BI onto a Home Assistant dashboard. So then you just need a way to pull up an HA dashboard in a browser (RPi, etc.). Here's one of the configs camera driveway: - platform: mjpeg mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.XXX:YYYY/mjp...

Re: anyone recommend IR flood lights? Impact on animals?

My understanding is the bugs are attracted to the IR light. So those cameras with a ring around the lens (mine 😣) just attract those spiders to web over the front. So added bonus for off camera IR flood. For the technically determined (me! :D ) you can trigger lights to turn on upon motion or AI det...

Re: Updates?

Ha! I came here wondering about this. I mean really we're spoiled by the steady release of updates. It was surprising to check and for several weeks not see anything, having got used to seeing often a few per week.

Any new/improved/fixed features list for this 5.5 release floating around out there?

Re: BI does not detect motion with Reolink RLC-410 5MP cams

I seem to mention it on the forums all of the time, and sometimes it's the solution, but with Reolink cameras UNCHECK Limit Decoding Unless Required on the Video tab for the camera settings. It causes BI to only analyze Key Frames and I think the primary complaint of Reolink is you can't set the key...

Re: Setup Digital IO for Relay output

Several options if you explore the manual. Maybe the easiest is an Arduino on a serial port. Then output the Arduino to a relay board. Per the manual, SeaLevel apparently makes some DIO (digital input/output) boards that it can talk to.

Re: Deepstack debuging

Under camera settings->Trigger, ensure you have "Add to alerts list" set to "Hi-res JPEG files". Then the photos processed by AI with identification will show up in your configured alerts folder (see your clips and archiving tab in settings for configured location).

Re: Blue Iris MQTT Disconnect error 138

For use with Home Assistant, ensure you have a User setup in HA, then configure BI at Settings->Digital IO and IoT->MQTT->Configure. It's good practice to make a new user for each connection. In my case I made a user in HA of mqtt_bi. Then configure your various MQTT alerts as desired on each camera...
