Motion alerts from camera

Post by bluewise »

I've found using BI motion detect consumes too much CPU power. (I have 11 Amcrest IP4-1028). The cameras have their own motion detection and I wanted to try that but cannot seem to get BI to trigger. I've tried using the Amcrest software and the alerts do get passed to it so I believe I have the cameras setup. I've checked the boxes in the BI trigger. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Hi bluewise,

It's not clear what you have ticked. Have you ticked "Camera's digital input or motion alarm" in the BI5 "Trigger" settings for each of the cameras ? I assume this will work with some cameras but not with others - but that's a guess at this stage.

Have you done the usual methods of reducing cpu loading ?
