can just put never.<\/p>\n<p>Hit OK to add that camera.\u00a0 You can then add the rest of your cameras using the clone function and just changing the IP address, login, and password in the video tab.<\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve got a whole bunch of cameras, but they won\u2019t record.<\/p>\n<p>To setup deepstack we\u2019re going to add those same cameras again, but with different options.\u00a0 <strong>Go to add camera<\/strong>, IP camera, motion detection and direct to disc.\u00a0 This time we\u2019re put in the substream address as the main stream, none should be specified for substream.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sub-only.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

we\u2019re going to put these in a group called LowRes.<\/p>\n<p>Then in the <strong>trigger tab<\/strong> setup the motion sensor to be very sensitive, I use these settings, which are likely to generate a bunch of false positives, but that doesn\u2019t matter because we\u2019re going to run them through deepstack AI to filter those out, we just want to give deepstack as many chances as possible.\u00a0Put .5 seconds in the break time, this increases the number of times deepstack analyzes motion events.<\/p>\n<p><a

jpeg, which is actually not going to be that high res since this is a subtream.\u00a0 Then click artificial intelligence, select deepstack and put in the deepstack objects you are interested in finding.\u00a0 Select a confidence level, 60% works well for me\u00a0 and then put 1 in the additional real time images.\u00a0 Select burn label markups and don\u2019t auto flag confirmed alerts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sub-AI.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

on alert you are going to create a new \u201cdo command\u201d put in the AI objects you want to record, then under command put \u201ctrigger\u201d and camera put the high resolution camera that corresponds to this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sub-send-trigger.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

done.\u00a0 Now you can add the rest of your continuous low resolution cameras by hitting <strong>add new camera<\/strong>, clone camera, then changing the IP, login and password in the video section, remembering to put the substream as the main stream and none for substream, and you\u2019ll also need to change the camera in the alerts tab to be the corresponding high resolution camera.<\/p>\n<p>This solution lets you use all the features of blue iris including main and substreams, AI detection, and continuous recording without any of the drawbacks that I mentioned before.<\/p>\n<p>To view your AI detections go to confirmed events and you can see that each event is a bookmark in your continuous recording, to see those same events in high resolution versions change the folder to AI Motion.\u00a0 This is my current preferred setup, but as I said, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised off all the shortcomings of the other setup are addressed very soon in updates.<\/p>\n<h5>Blue Iris NVR Software: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3dwlGRg\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3dwlGRg<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0Example Ebay Listing Dell Optiplex: <a
