Full Screen Montage View With No Interaction Allowed

2012-05-06T15:29:02-07:00

Collin Nyberg suggested:
Add a link to a full screen montage view without any settings buttons. The montage view could be enabled in the settings by providing a layout to display and a readonly user who's role can display that montage layout only. This could be web or client enabled to allow a none editable live view that starts automatically for client display usage only... no interface interactions or event interactions.

Support cameras that only provide a MJPEG feed [updated]

2012-05-04T03:34:45-07:00

Support for Dlink 3220 ip cameras or just dlink in general. There alot of low budget cameras that would be ideal.

It would really be great to have this feature. I have cheaper cameras that only support MJPEG and I can't add into the software.

Receive GPS data for devices in marine applications, ftp.

For devices that use NMEA 2000 network data such as Lowrance. It would be used to receive waypoint data from the chart plotter in order to take still or video when a waypoint is reached and upload it to an ftp/ sftp server.

Vivotek External Alarm Input

2012-05-03T00:58:41-07:00

Carel Burger suggested:
Some Vivotek network cameras has an external alarm input to trigger an event on the camera. This might be an passive infrared sensor or a magnetic contact on a door for instance. This is a nice feature for triggering event recordings for outside camera's where image motion detection triggers false events in case of wind causing moving shadows etc. Do you have any plans to incorporate compatibility with this feature on the camera?

Retain FPS settings [is now completed]

2012-04-30T11:36:55-07:00

cleint should retain the selected fps, for example when a client only has limited bandwidth, full fps can initially kill the connection

Add a Time variable to motion events. [is now planned]

2012-04-11T14:06:45-07:00

For example, I get a motion trigger and recording when a bug flies by a camera, or when one of the cameras aperatures automatically adjusts to changing light conditions. Also, on my dome cameras, headlight flashes from cars turning from adjoining side streets trigger motion. If we could have a variable that says "disregard motion events shorter than XXXX milliseconds (seconds) then it would be much easier to filter spurious events out, to fit local conditions.

Absolutely. We have a ticket for looking into this at http://improve.bluecherrydvr.com/issues/955. Improving the false positive rate for motion detection is definitely a goal.

automatically play next event [is now planned]

2012-02-07T10:34:19-08:00

When using search. It would be great to have a button so when you play an event, you could hit that button and it would go ahead and begin playing the next event. Seems now you have to manually select each event. So if you bring up a camera and need to watch over a period of an hour looking for something, then you have to click on each individual event to play it. It would be nice if you could just start it playing and sit back and watch like you could in Version 1.

Limit FPS for recorded events [updated]

2012-01-08T15:14:44-08:00

Would be really usefull to limit the FPS that events get recorded with. It's nice to have a fluid live view but makes little sense to waste hdd space on 24fps video when even 1fps would be sufficient for surveilance purposes.

Curtis Hall (Bluecherry) said:

Currently we rely on the network camera to set the frame rate. This will most likely be easier to configure on our side, but for now you should be able to set the frame rate on the camera and we'll use that.

Thanks

Embed date and time in exported video recordings [updated]

2011-12-16T10:18:38-08:00

Some cameras do not support embedding the date/time in the video display. Therefore, our recording software must put the date/time display in the exported video recordings for us. Without date and time showing up in the videos, the footage is worthless as evidence in court cases. Our current NVR solution does this, but I hate everything else about the software and am planning to move to BlueCherry v2 if it supports this upon release.

Curtis Hall (Bluecherry) said:

Eldon,

I'll do some checking, but I'm pretty sure these cameras do support OSD (though I believe you have to use Internet Explorer to set it)

Eldon,

I agree this is a very important feature. The analog cards provide this time stamp, so that part was easily. Dealing with streams that aren't kind enough to add a OSD for the date / time is something that we need to implement.

I can't promise this will be added before 2.0, as it will require some development thinking time to implement correctly.

Which cameras are you using that aren't providing the date / time? Most of them that I've seen that are sane enough to support RTSP have support for OSD.

Thanks
