I have been using BI4 for several months with a variety of camera brands (Foscam, Amcrest and Hikvision) and models. I have not had any problems that I have not been able to get the cameras to work well, until now. I just bought another Foscam FI9831P and an R2. I have several 98XX units that I configured both wired and wireless without issue. However the R2 does not seem to want to work with BI4. I configured it just like the other Foscams using their equipment search tool and the in-camera interface. Everything functions great using their interface, the picture is perfect and all PTZ functions work appropriately. However when I add the camera to BI it pixellates(?) badly across the top and then begins to show ghosts, once you move the PTZ it just freezes up. I have tried all different resolutions, fps, bit rate, etc with no success. BI shows the Foscam R2 in the drop down list under the configure button under the Video tab so I use this as the model. Is there some trick or band aid to get the R2 to work with all my other cameras. I have updated the firmware to the latest as well as the latest BI updates. My system is pretty strong using an intel i7, 16 GB Ram and my cpu utilization is under 30% even with 10 cameras running. I use Direct-to-Disk on all cameras. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
