    I must be over-tired, can't find the thread. Having the same issue. Today's update didn't solve it. Will revert back a few versions.

    What dash cam are you using?

    I have a several year old G1W that has been through hell. Hot car in the summer, cold Canadian winters, and has been dropped on concrete more than once. Still ticking. I had to re-attach the USB connector when it fell off after the first drop. I've had several other units for eval, including...

    Not me but man watches his home burn live while evacing Fort McMurray wildfire

    That would definitely suck to watch that on your own video camera. Another resident called their ISP and asked them to ping their modem to see if it would respond. Turns out it did.

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Is anyone else having issues with the Top-201 and Blue Iris? My 201s consistently drop the first few seconds of video on motion events. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/10315-New-install-events-missing-1st-5-seconds

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    OK just finished some more testing. Back on the VM, replaced 2 of the 3 201s with Hikvision 2032 bullets. Same settings 720p 10fps iframes at 10. CPU is hovering around 16-22% The hiks perform flawlessly. Captured videos contain all motion, including the 30 pre-frames. Top-201 still drops the...

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    OK, THIS is weird. Wandering around the house tonight I thought I'd apply my same method of testing that I've been using on my new install at the office. Walk into the frame of a camera, hold up fingers count up from 1. All cameras behave as normal here at home, never miss motion, including...

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Good question, but in the course of my testing, the 3 cameras have been on 2 different switches, and probably 5 different cables, several of which are known good (unplugged from working devices like ip phones, printers etc.)

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Thanks for the input. I'm getting such mixed test results that I've barked up the wrong tree a few times. Last test has 2 of the new Top 201s on the same switch on the desl right beside each other. Settings are cloned between the 2 cameras, and sometimes they both get the full capture of the...

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Some more testing and observations. I moved the Blue Iris install to another VM, and established Win7 64 VM, and same issues. Then I moved the installation to a physical workstation, i& with a boatload of RAM and SSD hard drive. Still behaving the same way. THEN, I added a third camera, another...

    One little drip...

    I checked both fuses and all of the 0 ohm resistors, all good.

    Please help an idiot on getting win 10 PC to see SSD

    In the BIOS settings you may need to turn on that SATA port.

    It's a VM so not likely an issue. Plus, it's doing direct to disk, so should technically we writing constantly.

    One little drip...

    I fried one of my 2032s by leaving the cat connector unprotected in an unexpected rain/snow. Turns out it's just the POE that's toast. Camera works fine with 12V applied. Had a look inside, could not find any blown fuses or fried resistors, so leaving it as-is.

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Yes, have tried object detection on and off. From what I can tell it's detecting motion fine, just dropping the first 5-7 seconds in the recorded file. Here's an example. I jump in front of the camera with 1 finger up, then add fingers counting 1 per second. The preview/thumbnail shows a...

    Windows 10 Hyper-V Guest Blue Iris network drop out

    Glad you got it sorted. I HAVE seen the Hyper-V V-switch flake out before a couple of times. Usually once right after install, then once you drop it, and reconnect it it's fine for good.

    Yes, the entire frame, minus the clock overlay that the camera displays.

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Make time is .4 sec break is 10. Increasing pre-trigger helped a bit. A couple events were ok, but others still the same.

    Thanks for the replies. Forgot to mention, iframe is set to 10. Will try 30 pre-trigger frames. Oh, not the same Penguin. We all look alike :)

    New install - events missing 1st 5 seconds

    Hi all. Just did a new install at work. Windows 10 Pro 1511 running in a VM under Hyper-V server 2012. 4GB Ram, 4 VCPUs Host is a fairly powerful server with fast local disk and plenty of horsepower. 2 IP cameras (Top-201) at 10FPS 720p. Using the defaults for Top-201, model super mini, with...

    Windows 10 Hyper-V Guest Blue Iris network drop out

    No network dropouts, but not happy with the event captures, seems to miss the first 5-7 seconds of motion, even though it shows the beginning of the motion trigger in the event thumbnail. Will start a new thread on that.

    Windows 10 Hyper-V Guest Blue Iris network drop out

    Interesting. I just (yesterday) set up a new Windows 10 Hyper-V guest with 2 Top-201 cameras (yeah, no budget) to monitor a server room. Will let you know if I experience anything similar.

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga Looks a lot like the Top 201 with added POE. If so, the quality won't be too bad at all.

    Onvif Compatible Doorbell Cam

    I don't think Ring passes the "Trendy Startup" and "Does not rely on Cloud" criteria. I think Dahua and Hikvision are missing out on some sales not having something like this.

    Any advice for new motion settings

    The new version has really fixed the major issues I had with trees casting shadows outside. Yes I had to tweak settings, but I'm pretty happy now. Most of my cameras are set at around 200 object size, and 20 min contrast. Object detection on, and cancel shadows on. I'm quite happy with the...

    User 'Cameras' with no password: do you have one?

    Holy crap, just logged in to my web interface from outside as Admin, no password and Cameras, no password. :eek: Going to put strong passwords on them and disable, and test daily to make sure they stay disabled.
