    Time sync problem

    Back in town. I appreciate you guys. I tried all the suggestions above. I had the i frame interval set to double the FPS, but setting it to parity didn't seem to improve the delay. Switched "limit decoding" to "off" and also disabled overlays. Minimal effect on delay. You're right Mike I...

    Time sync problem

    Thanks guys. Lots of good information. Can someone explain keyframe vs i frame? I will look at this stuff when I get back.

    Time sync problem

    I think you may have hit upon something. I do have a switch behind the router that I had forgotten about since it is in a remote location. I suspect it could be a 10/100. Will have to check when I get back. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

    Time sync problem

    I’ll be out of town for several days and will try unplugging some cameras when I get back. The switch is made by Nway. It’s a gigabit switch. Is this total bitrate unusually large?

    Time sync problem

    Oh, duh. That would make more sense. Here is what I have: Thanks for your help. FWIW, it's the "Cube" on xxx.101 that is connected to it's own POE injector. Not sure what to do with this information or your line of thinking. Is there a practical limit on bitrate at which point you can...

    Time sync problem

    Yeah that makes sense. The cams which are lagging on their display times are all running through a 16 port Nway POE switch. The cam with the clock which is running ahead is connected to an injector. Seems surprising that it would be running fast, though. Yes, direct to disk and hardware accel...

    Time sync problem

    Thanks for the reply. Have NetTime setup and running as a service. Turned off Windows Time Service. Still don't have perfect agreement between clocks. When viewing all cameras at once in BI, the clocks can be seen to differ from system time. Some are off by 30 seconds or more. All cams except...

    Time sync problem

    I have 10 Hikvision cameras connected to a dedicated Windows 10 Pro machine, running Blue Iris. I'm having trouble getting the camera clocks to synchronize. I followed the article here: How to Create a Standalone NTP Server With Windows and went through the process of setting up the W32Time...

    Sync your camera time to your Windows PC.

    If Nettime is setup properly on your PC and each camera is set to update every minute, is it unusual for there to be several seconds of disparity between cameras. Most of my cams are within a 1-2 seconds of each other, but I do have an outlier. How close do your camera times align with each...

    Another VPN question

    Success! Been retracing my steps over the past couple of days. Reconfigured more than once. I was just about ready to switch to dd-wrt. Not sure exactly which step made made the difference, but it works now. Was able to confirm I'm going through the vpn as iphones ipaddress is now in the vpn's...

    Another VPN question

    Found the setting for UDP/TCP and enabled both. Nayr, I just read that about the passthrough options being irrelevant to this. There is some good information on the OpenVPN site. They do talk about firewalls being a problem either on the server or client side. But, disabling the firewalls and...

    Another VPN question

    nayr, mrralphman, randytsuch, fenderman. Thanks for the assistance. The only options for VPN settings are IPSec Passthrough, PPTP Passthrough and L2TP Passthrough. These are all enabled. Don't see an option for TCP/UDP. Have to work on this more when I get back in tonight. Perhaps this...

    Another VPN question

    I appreciate all the help. Sorry for the initial confusion. Doesn't appear that this is just a BI issue. Though the OpenVPN Connect app indicates that it is connected, I'm not actually able to get onto the LAN. Don't know a lot about this, but could it be a firewall issue? The Incoming log on...

    Another VPN question

    When I launch the OpenVPN app on the iPhone it shows that it has connected. But when I try to use Safari on the phone to login to an iPaddress on the home network I just get a blank page.
