I have uninstalled IE from all of my machines since I never use it. I guess I'll have to reinstall it for one. Hopefully the firmware will be updated to not need that garbage.

Has anyone found a better solution to the plugin problem? I've tried getting this setup from 2 different Win 10 computers. I don't have IE on either of them. I change most of the settings I need, but trying to setup IVS without the preview is an exercise in madness. My 5442 camera work fine in...

Another option for remote access is a service such as ZeroTier. I like it because it's fairly simple to set up on devices, is very secure, and you can really have control over what devices can connect to each other. I shut down my router based VPN and now use this instead to access BI using the...

OK, I discovered something that seems to be related to or causing my issue. I had these two cams posting 640x480 pics to the www folder once per second so I could monitor them without launching the app. On the older versions of BI this did increase CPU usage slightly, but not to the extreme...

Yes, that's my plan for now. At some point I'll upgrade the machine, but don't have time right now and computer parts are a bit crazy at the moment. Probably upgrade my gaming rig and use the old one for BI. I'm mainly interested in the improvements they are making with AI (Deepstack) for my...

So first, I have said repeatedly, the cams I'm having this issue with are NOT using BI motion detection. Second, I've tested switching to h.264 many times and it had a negligible impact on CPU usage under normal circumstances on my antiquated CPU. I do appreciate the suggestion though.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here, but doesn't direct to disk avoid re-encoding of the video streams? The acceleration would then only used in BI when transcoding (web playback, exporting etc). In any case, I tested switching the two cams to H.264 and it had a negligible impact for...

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the 157 kB/sec camera was on variable bitrate and a tight angle scene that doesn't change much. Hence the low rate when I captured that. I played around with different encoding options and bitrates and while they did impact image quality they did not impact CPU...

That option doesn't seem to do anything on cams using the IVS system. That's why I need the digital input option checked. The ONVIF option does nothing in my setup and does not seem impact CPU use whether checked or not. Thanks though.

I'm not saying that the problem isn't with the cameras somehow, but I can't figure out why these two cams are different in regards to CPU use. I run h.265 on all cameras. I tried switching the 5442's to h.264 and it doesn't make much of an CPU impact that I can tell. All of my other cams are...

Well I guess I haven't tried physically disconnecting them from the network, but I have tried disabling cameras in BI. Makes little difference. With ONLY the 2 4MP dahua cams enabled (everything else disabled), CPU remains way too high. So 2 4MP cams not using any of the BI motion detection...

CPU was running a little higher when I grabbed this because wind was triggering one of my cams using BI motion triggers and DS. It was also taken running BI version 5.4.9.10. When I upgrade to anything newer without changing anything else it jumps to an average between 50-70% with frequent...

Here's the camera status page. The two Dahua cams are the Front Porch and Driveway. Two cameras, Master Bedroom and Basement, are only active when we're away.

Oh and since someone asked, the return time of DS GPU has been averaging around 200-250ms. So it doesn't seem to be struggling. I get that everyone thinks the system is old. I'll upgrade when I get time, but that's a major undertaking that I don't have resources for right now. Especially if I...

No offense, but I feel like my info isn't getting understood. Everything was working very smoothly until I updated to versions that came out the last couple of weeks. And it only affects the Dahua cameras. I can disable all of my other cameras and it persists with just the two. If I disable one...
