I had a look at the backup option you suggested but I feel that importing the old reg data to a clean install could add too many unknowns and could copy across the problems I am having. Which makes me think, I set up the current machine about 6 months ago from my very old Win7 server, perhaps import...

Thanks. I had selected Show Object Rectangles only (my default choice) but you are correct in that it had changed to highlight motion. After putting up the Christmas lights I attempted to change the shape of the zone for another camera. It looked fine whilst editing but when I returned to check, the...

I updated my BI on the 8th and had a few glitches (with one camera) that I tracked down to some odd settings which I suspect got changed during the upgrade. It’s back to normal except one new thing (to me). At night when everything is monochrome the mask fades in and out, superimposed on the main im...

Hi, I’m looking for information on using the RS232 external trigger for a camera (or two). What is the difference between DIO and Global DIO? What camera trigger settings are required for RS232? Writing some code to identify motion – easy (I’m even considering of adding some code that identifies if ...

Can you recommend any? Sorry but I don’t have any recommendations. I think I first heard of them on an IFTTT forum. Have a look on there, you may not get recommendations but you may get info on the brands to avoid. I don’t need them as my house is fitted with an iLight system (iLumen in USA). It’s ...

I’m about 50% of the way through my project to externally trigger BI on motion and have been reading lots of posts here. I’m well impressed on the information contained within the site, thanks all. Cloned cameras for testing and especially the Testing and Tuning option are new to me, which brings me...

In a camera’s Alerts tab there is an option labelled Actions, where you can set up various options. One of which is run an external program which could be anything from a .bat file, .exe or my favourite Powershell. You can get network controlled power switches so the program just needs to send the c...

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have those settings set but it’s still helpful to know I’m not missing something obvious. Below is a link to a clip demonstrating my problem. Personally I think BI should have triggered but maybe the developers, in trying to reduce false triggers, has made the latest vers...

Hello. I have recently upgraded from an old computer to a new one and from BI4 to BI5. Running BI4 on my old computer it was showing about >90% CPU and about 3FPS. My new one runs about 25% CPU and originally was running about 25FPS but I have turned that down to 10FPS. With my old system BI would t...
