    Need help tuning BI to stop Frozen frames, ghosting,

    Ok, will do. First, I will uncheck the rtsp timecode as you suggest, if that doesn't help, I'll bother BI support. It should be interesting to find the actual source of this! I've sure been on the hunt for it, for quite some time. (I left it alone for a while, but am now focused on getting...

    Need help tuning BI to stop Frozen frames, ghosting,

    Doggone it.. I am STILL getting ghosting and frozen frames in my video capture files, at seemingly random times. I have three cameras that trigger as a group. 1. The main camera looks straight out from the garage, and see traffic going by the house. 2. Camera 2 - License Plate Capture (LPC)...

    Need help tuning BI to stop Frozen frames, ghosting,

    fenderman, now that I think I have BlueIris configured properly thanks to you (I'm still monitoring the CPU as the culprit causing my ghosting and frozen frames), I see that I need to properly configure my new hard drives.

    Properly configuring multiple hard drives

    fenderman, now that I think I have BlueIris configured properly thanks to you (I'm still monitoring the CPU as the culprit causing my ghosting and frozen frames), I see that I need to properly configure my new hard drives. Can you double check my understanding below? I have the following hard...

    Need help tuning BI to stop Frozen frames, ghosting,

    Thank goodness! I have always keep BI at the latest version released (4.4.8.4 x64). All cameras are Hikvision. Different models for different locations. I found an interesting issue last night. The CPU was pegging at 98%.... I shut down (disabled in BI) my most active camera (License...

    I have tried everything I can think of to remove potential data processing bottlenecks, and yet still have issues with videos that have "frozen images" and ghosting... System: Dedicate PC running only the latest Blue Iris and Windows 10 Pro (64bit). i7-3770k, 8G ram, 4 hard drives (1-OS, 2-main...

    Would a specific graphics card improve BI?

    Thanks again fenderman! You saved me money and a waste of time!

    Would a specific graphics card improve BI?

    I looked through past posts and am thinking that adding a dedicated graphics card could improve the performance of BI on my intel security PC running Windows 10 Pro. Currently, I have 12 cameras, (which increase by 2 when we travel for a period of time to cover internal house locations). CPU...

    Difficulty aiming video to new additional harddrives

    I just added two new hard drives. The purpose was to remove the bottleneck of only one hard drive for the 12 cameras. (recently, with the thanks and guidance from "nayr" and "pozzello" and "cam235" I got nighttime License Plate Capture (LPC) cameras working). This additional video capture...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    I am thinking of getting this camera and add an "external camera housing". Any comments or recommendations? Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD-A11 Note: I've included a PDF with the specs on the camera for your review.

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    nayr, I have come to the conclusion that my problem is the camera itself. I am unable to capture a quality, readable picture during Dusk or Dawn each day. I've tuned the image, changed day/night start and stop times, overlaping dusk/dawn to try and get that readable image, all to no avail...

    Help with Sound on Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S) camera

    jjlee777, congratulations on figuring this one out! I have two cameras with microphones, one has a speaker also (for two way communication). It really works to capture conversations. Once, a couple of "would be vandals", looked up and said, "Oh shit, they have a camera" and ran off. Another...

    Wow, didn't even know that was an option... I'll play with that one for dawn tomorrow!

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    Here are the Dusk pictures. I show the unreadable license plates while the camera is in Day configuration, prior to 5:30pm (sunset in my timezone). Then, after 5:30, when the camera turns on Night configuration, still unreadable. (note: by 5:55pm, the license plates become readable.) (note 2: I...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    The current issue I am struggling with is capturing legible license plates right after dawn (about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how gloomy the weather is), and just before dusk. Current times here are: 7:56am (dawn) and 5:49pm (dusk). Here are pictures from this morning showing that...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    nayr, after I start my experiment with adding the two hard drives, dedicated to the License Plate Capture, I'll see if there are any other bottlenecks going on. I keep a watch on BlueIris and the CPU utilization. Currently I am running at 56% CPU. If it increases with the addition of my next...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    cam235, thank you for passing on those comments and design ideas (and credit to nayr). I do try to think through the design aspects as much as possible. So, I'm running 12 cameras off of a home built, dedicated PC with two networks. One network is our general network, and the other network is...

    That would be good news! (if it is only the rare vandilsm vs. a quick theft). Thank you for the reply nayr!

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    cam235, thank you for the review of tree LPC installation. Do you have any concerns with vandalism of your camera equipment? This appears to be a target in our area recently. The resale of stolen security cameras must be becoming a thing around here. Anybody else seeing problems like that...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    The last two photos (it looks like they got added as "attached thumbnails") are my "other direction", Bird House camera. I am waiting for the other IR Illuminator to arrive to turn that into a night time License Plate Capture camera as well.

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    I'll do my best to upload "understandable" photos of the tree camera. I am uploading; two different closeups of the camera. Remember, it is painted with camouflage, so it doesn't actually stand out very well. Then, a few different angles showing the tree and where the camera is located. Then...

    Holy crap on a shingle! Look at the license plate clarity I am capturing now... (thanks for the directions on how to dial in that adjustable IR beam).

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    Its been installed for quite a while now. Only able to capture daytime License Plates until now. I ran RJ45 (POE) to it, under a walkway and under the front yard through a conduit. I then sealed both ends of the conduit with silicone, for good measure. I'll grab some photos of it tomorrow.

    Thanks cam235. Great points about the tree location. So far this one has worked well for me. (I'm lucky so far, I think). Also, I used multiple paint colors to camouflage the outside of the camera, so you really don't notice it up there. The location is perfect for oncoming traffic!

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    nayr, pozzello, thanks for the help on this. At times I feel embarrassed thinking I should be able to figure these things out, but your knowledge sure cuts down on my time-to-solution! I will do that tonight on the IR Light and get it focused down! (I left the ladder up against the tree, so...

    I set played with adjustments on the WDR (digital not true WDR), last night. Turning it on, and adjusting to the lowest of settings (8), very readable License plates are captured all night, as well as dusk and dawn. (I set the start time and stop times to compensate for dusk and dawn...
