Re: Help! No Cameras following Switch from OpenReach to Full Fibre

You most likely will need to switch the TP-Link network to the new router's address space vs. the other way around. Quite a few considerations involved security-wise but that should at least bring the IP cameras back up.

Re: RTSP streams - re-encoding / use substream?

Gotcha. UI3 does indeed re-encode, though is somewhat manageable depending on bandwidth availability and end point platform. Why not just directly access the original camera streams from HA? Out of curiosity, a quick search turned up the following here: https://blueirissoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.p...

Re: RTSP streams - re-encoding / use substream?

What I need, I guess, is to get the camera substream directly, no re-encoding, no anything. ' Make sure 'direct-to-disk' recording is enabled in BI to use sub-streams effectively and ensure they are properly identified in BI's configuration for the camera. This should do exactly what it sounds like...

Re: Alert and motion setup advice

The short rundown on my motion sensor settings for this camera is they're primarily for night time activity and work well detecting a cat or raccoon coming up the driveway almost from the road. But they also think a bug is a pterodactyl and the short make time isn't very forgiving in that regard! LO...

Re: Alert and motion setup advice

Well, I just spent 3 hours putting a post together that immediately vanished when I submitted it. The basic gist follows since I had the sense to do the first half with WordPad..., just in case. Unfortunately the essence of the thing was the second half. This also needs to be posted in two parts due...

Re: Alert and motion setup advice

Wow. That's almost my driveway! So..., this'll be a real bag o' snakes thread since you covered just about everything involved to make BI work even reasonably well. LOL Everyone will have their preferred methods for achieving their results -- which aren't necessarily what will be required to obtain ...

Re: Getting Amcrest ASH47-W PTZ into BI

My understanding is that after the ASH47's required configuration through the Smart Home platform initially, it can then be added to a NVR for more traditional access, though not with all features being available. There are several threads over on the Amcrest forum about the lack of ASH47 flexibilit...

Re: Can you use BI to display on a TV Wall?

I use the web browser in Downloader myself. Fire up my saved UI3 URL, go full screen and I'm good. Easy enough to do the same with individual cameras as well.

Re: How to Cycle cameras on same ip address?

Is there no NVR and you are just setting these up as independent cameras with the app to view with Blue Iris? Or someone else did? They can be set up a variety of ways, both wireless and wired. Read the following for a fairly comprehensive overview of what they can do and how to make them do it. htt...
