I have the same problem. CPU usage goes up to 99%. I exit Blue Iris and start it back up and the CPU usage is back around 40%. I have a Dell XPS 8700, i7-4770 CPU and 16 GB ram

I think I found the problem, I set GMT to -4 for DST.

Ever since daylight savings time, my PTZ jumps an hour behind. I go into settings and sync it with the PC, but within a few hours it goes back an hour. I'm in the EST zone, and it is set for GMT -5. Any clues what is doing this?

You are right, the camera is fine, but it only works with the DC power supply connection. That’s fine, I’m going to find a place in the house for it. Now my problem is, I can’t find the 3 screws I took off the camera, I think it might be a 3mm screw. Off to Lowe’s to find some screws. Thanks...

I had my camera under my deck overlooking the backyard. It was underneath a wood plate that provided a little relief from the rain, but moisture got into the connector and corroded it. My Blue Iris screen showed a “no signal” coming from the camera. Tried pulling the patch cable to the...

Thank you!

Howdy, I screwed up and forgot to waterproof the RJ-45 connector. Camera stopped working. I have it apart right now, and was wondering if there is a re-set button inside. If not, I'll order a new one from Andy.

Thanks for the clarification. My 3 year old Hikvison 2032s set "I Frame Rate" my new Dahua's use "I frame interval". I missed the word Interval. I have my Dahua's I frame interval set too high (50). I'm going to reset them to 25 and see what happens.

The I frame is a complete stand alone frame (like a jpeg) it contains the most bits of the other frames (P and B if used). The other frames usually just contain bits that changed from the I frame. Increasing the I frame will increase the bit rate.

I have one Hikvision camera for my backyard. We have about 2 dozen turkeys go through the back yard every day. I like to watch the Tom’s when they fan their tails and do the Turkey strut.

This guy was also fast at emptying my feeders!

Squirrels and chipmunks are the reason I don’t fill up the feeders in summer. They can empty a feeder in a couple of hours. I have a caged suet feeder for woodpeckers and thistle seed soxs for finches.

Nice shot of the pileated woodpecker. I've been trying to get a photo of one for several years.

Yes, I see it is very blurry. I'm still trying to figure out the best settings for this camera.

This is with no IR, and Day & Night set to color. I think I like this mode, because you can ID the color of the clothing.
