Thanks all, switched to CBR and it's loads better. VBR just seemed horrible whatever settings I used. Unlike the old ones which are good with VBR.
Appreciate all the quick replies, much happier now.
I have had several HDW5231R-ZE working well for years (via BlueIris), quality good. I recently added several new HDW5442T-ZE but the quality is very poor. Looks like low bandwidth video, you know when the video gets badly throttled and looks awful. I am using the same video settings on the old...
ok that looks like its fixed. Not had the issue since. I also noticed that my cheap wifi cameras that never had the issue had it disabled already. So the only cameras seeing the odd delay were the only ones with VPP enabled.
Shame about the CPU load but at least it all works.
Many thanks for...
anyone have ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I made all the above changes but the issue still happens. It must be something with my setup as its common cameras with BI. Are there any logs or places I can look for ideas? I just don't know if I should be looking at cpu, network, camera settings...
No wifi cameras have an issue. The camera issue moves between my 4 Dahua cameras, doesn't happen at the same time. 3 are wired gigabit via unifi switches, 4th has an airmax radio link at 375Mbit high signal strength and usage around 2%.
BI CPU load doesn't seem to spike, it's around 50-60. GPU...
BI PC is connected to the cameras via a single switch or two switches linked together depending on the camera. Decent Unifi poe switches in use. Only 1 remote camera uses a point to point radio link with high signal strength. same issues on all dahua cameras regardless if same switch, 2 switches...
Update: Disable VPP fixed this issue
My feeds generally work, but a feed will slowly get delayed, up to around 2 mins, then suddenly be live again and drop 2mins of video. I have memory cards in the cameras and they record this period locally with no issue, so something between Dahua and BI...
