I just followed along with this and you have gotten me further in 30 min than I have on my own in a month. Thanks!
Videos like this are why your channel is one of the best on TH-cam! You move so fast it never gets boring and when I am going through the steps I just stop and start as needed, keep it up Rob you are killing it!
I just commissioned my Blue Iris NVR with 6 cameras. I plan on adding 8 more. I had to buy a new PC for the added horsepower requirements but it works very VERY well. I could not have done it without your videos. You are very well spoken, to the point and make things easy to understand. VERY well done!
This is SO AWESOME. Tight integration of DeepStack in Blue Iris is amazing, and you did a great job explaining how to set it up. Since it took me so long to get my stuff together, I enjoyed your previous setup with AI Tool for about one week before setting this up... LOL!
The vid I've been waiting for! Look forward to watching this later
Thank you Rob! Setting this up was on my todo list, you’ve made it so much easier now!
Thanks AGAIN for the great video. I have been running Blue Iris for 6 months and it works great... Now I need to spend the time to get the most from DeepStack... Love your work!
This is amazing! I am so glad they added native support for DeepStack! Awesome update rob!
I found your earlier video from a year ago about using AITool, and just got it all setup last week. I saw the settings in the newest Blue Iris software for Deepstack, but wanting to get a working solution, I ignored those until I could get around to playing with it. I'm glad to see you rethought this with the newest Blue Iris software and can't wait to change my config over to what you suggested here. Stellar job!! Keep up the great work!
Got my blue iris license just last night. Perfect timing! Thank you for this wonderful video
Just wanted to say thank you for this! Was honestly thinking about going the Ubiquity route until watching your video last month. Love the results from BI + DeepStack!
Finally, I was able to get AI working in BI. Been weeks trying. You are truly an asset to the BI community. Great job and thank you...
These recommendations are really great. I was missing a lot of alerts with the out of the box setup and these seem to fix it. One thing I would add. Under Alerts, Notifications, Push Notification. Change from Alert Image to 10-second GIF. This will give you a quick video in the notifications instead of having to open the app every time.
I didn't even know this was there. Flipped it on! Cheers!
I know it's not much but I've been a subscriber for a while and love your videos. I've run Blue Iris for years and recently redid it with a different machine, your guide here was way better than the way I had it previously set up and it works awesome now! Six cameras and less than 10% CPU with full up object detection is awesome! Thanks!
Love to hear that Chuck, glad you are back up and running!
Rob, wow. This is exactly what I need for my upcoming camera install. I cannot wait to get everything in, and set up... so I can step through this video! Wow!
beware blueiris is not stable software
Thank you sir! I'm upgrading my BI instance today. Awesome timing!
Great video! I just removed all the old deepstack docker containers from your previous video on the topic, updated my HD cameras, and deleted my SD cameras and everything is working great.
Awesome video. Never played with any of this software before, but I followed along, and have everything working perfectly. Thank you.
Thanks Rob! I've been waiting for this one.
Just set up BI yesterday based on your last video. Now I think that I will just start from scratch since there seems to be a lot of changes. Thanks
Great video so easy to follow, wish I watched this prior to setting up all my camera's would have saved so much time!
Thanks for this video, super helpful. Would love to see a video on your BlueIris / Home Assistant / Node RED integration!
Perfect update! Your previous video got me going and Blue Iris’ AI update was awesome. My greatest automation is when there is camera motion in the garage (pre AI for speed), Home Assistant tells the Shelly to turn on my garage lights until there is no motion +5 minutes.
Ha. This is exactly what I want to do.
@@christopher79 it’s never been easier. Which is an odd statement. “It’s much easier than it used to be!” That’s much better! 🤪 Honestly, it’s not terribly difficult. I also have triggers for porch lights based on detecting only dogs or people (depending on what I expect or don’t want to be there). The AI has helped to keep my house from being a disco show all night due to triggers by bugs and bats.
Perfect! Can't wait for the face analysis with deepstack ai in blue iris!! :)
Thanks for all the valuable and relevant information here. Just set up my own BI+DS here following these instructions.
Thank you! I've been waiting for this video! 😃
And another superb video! Thanks for this high quality content!
Great video, got it setup on the weekend and the detections are working great. Now to integrate the detections with MQTT and Home Assistant
Phenomanally great video guy. Thanks for making and sharing this!
this is crazy good. thank you!
I had the same issues with the pre trigger buffer not working. I fixed it on every camera I have by unchecking "Combine or cut.." and checking "Cut video when triggered". Great video
Can't believe you're not getting more views. Thank you for your content!
Great video - got myself an optiplex i7 6700k, 2Tb WD purple and blue iris, all connected over a Netgear ProSafe 8 switch :)
Very happy.
Thank you so much. Your videos are a huge help setting up my smart home.
Great video! I follow the original video a year ago but gave up on Deepstack because the i5-7400/AI-Tool setup can only process an image every 800-1000ms. When several cameras are active, the CPU jumps to 100% and the stock cooler transforms into a jet engine.
Now that Blue Iris and Deepstack both updated their software, I've managed to get the GPU version running on my 1070. The processing time came down to 20-35ms and the GPU utilization is less than 1% even when processing several cameras per second.
Sounds like a win to me!
Once again... Amazing presentation... Excellent communicator.
Great video and I've referenced it many time. Thanks for compiling.
Finally got my first Blue Iris server working with DeepStack GPU, thanks to your excellent course, thank you!
Awesome video mate, thanks very much - helped me loads, as a noob, in getting it all set up
Thanks, I now feel much more safe trying out my settings.
Crap, going to have to make time for this today! Thanks man looking forward to this one.
Great video! Just bought a dedicated NVR windows machine today and already got object detection working and integrated to MQTT. Without your help this wouldn’t be possible. Really nice!!
Nice! Hope it works well for you, definitely fun to tinker with too.
Amazing review and insights. Learnt tons. Thank you so much.
Just an FYI, I have been running BlueIris in a docker container on Unraid for about a month now without a single issue. Just got a Jetson Nano, and am running Deepstack on it currently, which is what lead me here. I can definitely vouch for the docker container working well on my setup. (Unraid box is R5 2600, 32gb ram, I have blueiris saving to the array to save on writes to the cache and have had no problems with it.)
Again perfect timing Rob! Two Reolinks RLC-820A are arriving today and will be installed during the weekend. Thankfully I haven't purchased Blue Iris yet so I will make sure I will use the affiliate link. Thanks again for another extremely useful video. This will save several hours of my time and a lot of frustration as a new Blue Iris user.
You’ll be frustrated, just google what Iframe interval means, Reolink doesn’t have I-frames support so you’ll miss a lot of motion events with blueiris.. :(
@@memogles5763 wow thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that. This is why Rob added a separate article for Reolink cameras setup? Any 4k alternative to be used with Blue Iris?
@@stevez182 stick with hikvision or dahua, you NEED Interval settings to be able to record motion without missing a single event, otherwise no matter what you do, deepstack won’t work correctly.
@@memogles5763 I was afraid that you will mention those two. Unfortunately both are not widely available in the UK (especially dahua). An option will be Ankke which is somehow related to hikvision but I am not sure if it has similar issues
Very tempted to try this on my sister's Blue Iris setup.
Great content as usual. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for the video!
I would have never been able to configure my -just received- annke cameras and blue iris without this video. Thank you so much. I just used your affiliate link to buy the licence for BlueIris. Greetings from Montreal
Glad it was helpful Martin, Cheers!
Great video, and funny enough today is the the expiration of my BI subscription so it's a good thing I logged into the server so now I can renew.
Thank you for posting this!
Following this great guide, it's amazing. Reolink has added support to change I frame interval in their latest update for 820A.
Omg. Yes Rob. Just ordered cameras and blue iris. Your timing is perfect! No offence to other channels but you do the best setup walk-throughs.
What cameras did you choose?
Great videos. he could use a few self deprecating jokes or random dog cameos
@@flyingwhiteindian I went with reolink cameras. They seem to be a fair price for quality.
Great video! Though I came to learn about AI, it tipped me off to the fact that my cameras weren't configured right. By specifying the exact brand, BI picked up the correct substream and dropped my cpu usage from 30-40% to 5%-15%.
For Reolink DUO 2 poe 4k turn off "Send RTSP keep-alives" or you'll get tons of cut outs with no signal error.
At 17:50 you recommend to select the brand new option to record continuous+triggered but show continuous+alerts selected in the video...I don't understand the difference between the two and I also wasn't sure which you were truly suggesting we set ours to...I love all the content, keep up the great work
I did the project. So glad I did. Wired up 9 cameras :)
Nice!
Reolink posted a firmware (yes, their second try) for the RLC-8X0A on Aug 24. It claims to support settings of 1 second. Rob, if you think this is significant, would you please update either this video or your web page instructions for the Reolink kludge? Much appreciated!
Like drinking from a firehose -- lots of information. Saved that for when I start setting it up.
Kinda doing a restart on all this - 18 months ago was setting up security cams on blue Iris on an older i7 (1st gen) PC (converted to a Xeon).
Then Covid came - and we were off doing other stuff and now just coming back to this project.
Will get at least a 6th gen i7 though before continuing as I'll have at least 10-12 cameras to cover our acreage here.
Thanks for the wonderful tips on this - I subscribed and will be checking out your other videos.
This video finally made me feel confident I can do this all myself 😂
Rob, your background as an Educator clearly shows in your presentation and I do appreciate all the hard work you're doing to make it easier for the rest of us! I am having a real problem with the implementation of this and hope that you can lead me back onto the right path. Scrupulously following your directions, my DeepStack completely fails. Once the camera detects motion, the very next log entry is "DeepStack: Not running or unreachable", followed by "DeepStack has been restarted". This results in alerting and capturing EVERYTHING. Is there a forum you'd recommend or other off-line channel that I could seek help at? Cheers, keep up the good work, and "Bravo!" on the excellent videos!!
If you still have active blue iris sport I’d recommend that, they’ve probably seen way more issues than me. Otherwise you can join until the hook up face book group (link in the description) and see if anyone can help you out there.
Blue Iris should be paying you for this video. Its above and beyond any of their tutorials.
Great info. Wonderful presentation.
Great video! It encouraged me to upgrade my old BI4 to a new BI5-installation with DS. It all works amazing except for one usecase: Toddlers running on our driveway. Seems like running adults are a bit tricky to catch as well but not as tricky as kids. I have a 4K Hikvision running in 10 fps. Do you think an increase to 25 fps could improve the toddler detection in DS? Or do you have any other idea on how to improve classification of fast moving objects?
Thanks Rob. Awesome video. Now I have to think about upgrading my i7 computer to something newer because I really want DeepStack to work better.
Love this video format
Always great detail at a great pace, no fluff. I setup the previous AI Tool method based of your other video (2 streams per camera), then things broke after latest BI update. AGAIN, after watching one your videos, was able to get it back on track quickly.
Fun note, after disabling the substreams (about 9 cameras total) from the previous setup, CPU% went from >50% to around 8-10%.
Hey Rob, great video, but I am stuck on confirming what option you chose on the Record tab for the individual camera settings, you mention to set as "Continuous + Triggered" but in the video it shows you have selected "Continuous + Alerts". Can you clarify what option you are using ?
Hi Rob, absolutely love your videos, have been binging them for a while. In your setup here you mention a 2TB HDD, In previous videos you’ve said 2 x 4TB, happy with different setups etc but would you normally recommend multiple HDD in a RAID config or not as you delete most footage?
So much useful info. Thanks.
Sorry for not subscribing earlier, this has so much content and information it that it takes off takes a while for me to unpack… I’m barely text savvy when it comes to this type of stuff.
Thank again!!! nice tutorial as always!!!! i just have a quick question.... after this change/move does your push notifications with camera feed on home assistant still working???? i did fallow the old video and i was able to setup some alerts. example.. when someone open my mailbox, home assistant get triggered and i get a notification and a camera feed.. like your home when someone open a window... mine just stop working.. don't know if i need to upgrade the url trigger or what is going on! lol
Love your videos and thanks! I have a camera overlooking the river in my backyard, which occasionally gets great egrets and great blue herons, among other wildlife. I would like to record them in high res. I would love if you could post a video for settings for usimg Blue Iris as a trail cam or something that would help in this effort!
I know this was a while ago, but to clarify, at 22:53 you said to use "Continuous +Triggered" but show Continuous + Alerts. Which one is it supposed to be and what is the difference?
Hey logged in to post that you do great videos! I saw your Ubiquiti ones which were some of the best ones Ive seen, well articulated, and clarified some networking aspects that others skim over. Great work. Hope we see other videos such as OPNsense that I am migrating to. About this BI and deep stack, i havent seen much reason to migrate from V4 to V5, you may have given me one if it works well. Hoping they sorted all the issues you brought up. Also oddly enough I have a very similar Dell i7 6th gen CPU for my BI setup for 4 years now. Glad to know it still is relevant. For your celeron comparison did you set it with h.265 or h.264 and hardware acceleration. H.265 consumes more CPU with hardware acceleration so may be it explains your issues with frames? V4 doesnt have it so I have stuck with .264 and a bigger drive. Thanks
Finally a video that helped me with my Deepstack setup. I'm curious though if its possible to leave the Zones and Hotspots enabled since I don't want certain areas for Deepstack to monitor. I also wonder if "Shadow" can be used as I'm getting alerts from People and Tree shadow reflecting on my yard from 8-11am.
Congratulations, excellent video. I would like some help, I built the whole system with 40 cameras using DeepStack and it is working very well. I'm using a 16GB Xeon E5-2680 V2 server, which is handling 80-90% CPU and processing around 1200 ms of the images. But I want to improve more, would you know how to tell me if I put a QUADRO T400 video card to process on the GPU I will free my processor and get better results? Do you have any experience with GPU processing?
Hey man thanks for all the quality content! you're awesome. just a question though have you encountered a problem in reolink cameras where it is like showing in a wrong aspect ratio in blue iris? ( kinda like when the center option is clicked in reolink gui)
Just readded all my cameras and now they are all showing in a square like aspect ratio unlike before. Thanks!
Hi Rob, thank you so much for your video. Quick question, The settings for a Reolink 410 5MP will be the same as the Reolink 810A (Reolink camera software in regards encode Fluent & Clear settings)? I used the same 810A 4K settings from your video on the 5MP cameras. The 5MP cameras got frozen or have no good view in blue iris software. Again , thank you.
Absolutely Fantastic. Now I just need a money for all of this 😅
Awesome video!
Another great video for a nice smart home project.
Can you do a PI-hole video with local DNS and DHCP in combination with your unify setup?
Great video on BI! Would love a video on BI remote/mobile access that goes deep into the mobile and browser app and into available options for setting up a remote connection (pf, vpn, ngrok, etc.) It seems to be the only information missing about BI on youtube :)
Great video. Thanks for this. Question, what format for the files? bvr or mp4?
Awesome video as usual...When setting up blueiris/deepstack is there a way to shade out an area you don't want monitored? Also deepstack keeps sending me alerts for vehicles parked in my driveway and on the street..is there a way I can keep that from happening? Thanks in advance
Thanks Rob! I'm not sure which one of the many settings I just changed fixed it but my five RLC-810A's and my EZVIZ DB1 are now all recording flawlessly in Blue Iris on the Windows VM on my unRAID server.
Glad to hear it, cheers!
Could you maybe post your current settings? I still have Problems with the reolink
@@Luuuu793 have you tried this setup? www.thesmarthomehookup.com/alternate-blue-iris-deepstack-configuration-for-reolink-rlc-810-compatibility/
@@TheHookUp No, not yet. Thanks not for the link. I did not know that there is a template for alternative settings :O
I hope that Reolink will soon fix the problem with the I-frame interval. But I read today in a forum that the feature was already requested in 2016, which does not give me much hope :(
@@Luuuu793 I think the problem is something other than the iFrame. To me it seems like a non-conforming H265 codec. If I change my other cameras to have the same iFrame as the reolink they do not experience the same issues.
Another great video !
Do you have a video on what POE cameras and POE Switch you recommend to use with the Blue Iris+ Deepstack?
Thanks!
Awesome sharing! Thanks rob! Does blue iris + deep stack could control the PTZ in order to follow the object it tracking? If can't, is there any software/plugin that could do that? Once again, thanks!
Great video!
How would I best view these live streams and AI-generated recordings on my phone away from home? (Android/iOS)
Amazing tutorial. Much inspiration has been implemented both with Ubiquiti and now Blue Iris /AI! Thanks so much!
What if I want to get my alerts on Telegram? Is there a simple setup? I see I can use AI Tool by VorlonCD, but I really want to keep the CPU and power consumption in the low end, so wondering if any know of a simple but effective solution. I'm still new to Blue Iris, but maybe a web request action in an alert could do the trick?
Awesome Videos Thank! been using BI for years. Just upgraded to 5 and DeepStack. I keep getting alot of errors (Deepstack: Alert Cancelled (occupied)) what does this mean?
and I setup a Main/Sub Stream on Video Tab and set Record Tab to Record Dual Streams. where is a setting to set only Main Stream for Alerts?
great stuff here!
What's the best way to take an AI triggered alert and send a HA notification to a phone with either the Alerts folder image or the little preview that UI3 uses? I've got it so BlueIris is sending MQTT messages and HA with Node-RED can send a notification to a phone with the companion app, just not sure about the image or animated preview part.
Amazing video as always! I’m struggling getting deepstack gpu working. Installing nvidia cuda and cudnn is rough and I think that’s where my problems lie. Seems like many people struggle with this and the only help I’ve found is various snippets of information on forums. Please make a video to assist us :)
Rob I know this is a year old but just curious do you feel the Deepstack integration has improved over the last year and while easier does it do as good of a job as when you were using AI-Tool (which I still am) Thanks
With the latest Blue Iris release and reolink 820a (dome version of 810a) you don't need to do the alternate setup. I just set my pretrigger for 10 seconds and it switches to the 4k stream about 5 seconds before the trigger. I have my main stream at 25fps, substream at 15fps.
Holy cow, just fired it up to test and you are right. Ken is an absolute wizard. I'm going to let it run for a day or so, then I'll update the video description and post.
@@TheHookUp Just an update that this method seems to work well for the Reolink if you wanted to update the description :)
Does this mean that reolink should not be thought of as having issues with blue iris and deepstack anymore? Or are there other issues? Or issues with other 4k cameras like 810a is fine but 811a pumpkin?
This is spectacular.
After losing my BI Srv OS SSD, I rebuilt a new server and started from scratch with everything I've learned from your videos here, thanks btw! But ran into a snag tonight not sure if it's a bad thing or a good thing. I have Release 5.5.1.11 and I have found now when you are on the 'Trigger' Tab and next to 'Video' selecting 'Continuous + Alert' will gray out the option for 'Record dual-streams if available'. I went ahead and configured a test cam (amcrest 4k), everything seems to work, still testing though. But is this normal now? I see in your video here that the option use to not do that or is there something else I'm missing?
