    Thanks to this Sub Stream Guide it was pretty easy and now I only use 2-5% cpu.

    Hardware Acceleration increases cpu usage, temp, and noise

    If I turn on Intel, Intel+VPP, or Intel Beta my cpu (I7-11700 non K) usage goes up by about 10-15%, Intel gpu goes from 0 up to 25%, and temp goes from 45 up to 58 degrees C. I don't worry about the cpu usage, since I'm only up to 20 or 30, or those temps, but the sound of the fan bothers me...

    Hikvision cameras constantly disconnecting

    Thanks to you all I believe the problem is resolved and I learned a lot about optimizing settings along the way. Thanks to the recommended Fing app, I found that I did have a couple IP conflicts. With those resolved, I've only had ONE disconnect all day (compared to 7-8 per hour)! Thank you...

    Thanks again! When I hit search, it says "searching" for a split second and nothing populates in the Log List.

    Hikvision cameras constantly disconnecting

    Between the 2 new cameras I had about 50 disconnects overnight. The older 2 cameras had no disconnects. So far I have tried h264, h264+, h265, h265+; changed all cams to CBR; decreased bitrates; and now I have gone into the router and assigned the cameras to IP addresses. Not sure how to...

    Hikvision cameras constantly disconnecting

    Thank you for the ideas of where to start. I switched to H264 (not +) a few hours ago and so far haven't had any disconnects. Hopefully it stays that way. I do have my network switch plugged into my cable modem router, which is plugged into my pc. My network switch is linking 10/100 with all...

    Hikvision cameras constantly disconnecting

    Yesterday I swapped a couple 2132 hikvisions for brand new PCI-T18F2S units. They work well, except that they disconnect from the network at least every hour. Sometimes they reconnect on their own, but sometimes I need to unplug and replug to get connected. I am using the same cat5e cables...

    Safe to update firmware from 5.5.1 to 5.7.1?

    I've read that you cannot skip versions when updating firmware. Would like to update my new cameras with slightly different builds from 5.5.1 to 5.7.1. Is it safe to do this, since the hikvision doesn't list any intermediate versions? Thanks, Eric

    Waterproof cat5 entry into junction box

    Will look for cat5 glands in box store tomorrow, but alternatively I found that a short piece of 3/8 fuel line hose, slit lengthwise and slipped over the cat5e, fills the gap perfectly. It may not hold water if submerged, but it should be fine pointing down in the relatively well sheltered...

    Waterproof cat5 entry into junction box

    I bought a few hikvision CB140PT junction boxes to install my turrets. The boxes have a nut on the side that seems like it is supposed to be waterproof when tightening down, but the rubber grommet is still too big for the cat5 cable. Is there a better junction box to use in this application...

    is surveillance-video.com reputable?

    I've decided that I'd like to stick with hikvision or variants. Unfortunately, empiretec doesn't seem to have any and Nelly's no longer carries them. Does anyone have any other suggestions for reputable places to buy hikvision in the USA? Looking for 4mp fixed 2.8mm and 4mm or 8mp 2.8mm...

    is surveillance-video.com reputable?

    I love BAndH, but they don’t have a very good selection in stock right now. I checked Nellys and Empire Andy and they don’t seem to have hikvision. Are they just re-branded hikvisions?

    is surveillance-video.com reputable?

    Would like to replace my 7 year old hikvisions and am having trouble finding dealers with a good variety of domes. Has anyone had any experience with surveillance-video.com? Any reason not to use them? They are nearby to me in Vermont as far as shipping goes. Thanks! Eric

    No access to app from work on wifi

    A few months ago, I became unable to connect to the mobile app on iphone or to the web server on chrome while using the wifi or wired internet on pc at work. If I disconnect from wifi on my phone I can access via cellular service, though at a poor and slow connection. I work at a hospital and...

    cams suddenly black on iphone and web server doesn't connect

    I figured out the schedule in blue iris pc had been changed from a triangle to a square. Changed it back and blue iris app now works fine. However, I still can't log into the web server. I don't even get to the login screen. Chrome just spins and then says can't connect.

    New vs. Stored Clips setup

    I've had my system setup for a few years and went back to clips and archives options after upgrading to windows 10 to make sure they were optimal. Looks like they are not. I have a 4tb Purple drive and a 256gb SSD. I had the db located on the purple so have changed that to the ssd. I have...

    Multiple password resets required in recent months

    I can't change my router. Since I have xfinity triple play (TV, Phone, Internet), they require the use of their router. I also would rather not figure out how to use vpn. I have figured out how to turn off upnp on my cams and my router. I can't find anything about upnp in blueiris, so I'm...
