    Can't Connect to Jennov Mini PTZ Via IP

    So I bought a Jennov mini PTZ IP camera to replace a similar Chinese camera that has been failing. I powered up the camera and plugged it into my router, but couldn't find the IP address. Then I tried SADP, which show my other six cameras but not the new camera. On a whim, I "added: the new...

    CPUUsage Increase x2 ?

    Well you guys were sure right. I went thru each camera and corrected the settings. Also noticed that using my NVIDIA card gains a little more performance over the Intel selection for hardware acceleration. In any event, I'm super grateful for your time and expertise and helping me out. My only...

    CPUUsage Increase x2 ?

    For the record, I'm not complaining, just looking for help by way of raising the issue to see if others are experiencing the same change with recent versions of BI. I'm a long time user of BI and well aware of optimization methods. But again, my point is simply that at a given baseline for my...

    CPUUsage Increase x2 ?

    Maybe it's just me? Currently running v5.4.9.18 v64. This and the past version or two have doubled my "idle" CPU usage. I have 8 cameras and the PC typically idles at 15-20% CPU, but the last couple of revs have it at 40 percent or more at idle and ramps up to 70-100% when one or more cameras...

    Clip Preview Size ?

    So in the left hand column of BI is the vertical row of clip previews, a feature I use frequently. At some point during the past year or so, the clip previews changed in size and display. Before the preview was more square, allowing for a larger view of the clip image. Now, the preview is a...

    Help With POE Switch Placement

    Thanks for the clarification. An NVR won;t be used, just BlueIris. Does this change things at all from your perspective?

    Help With POE Switch Placement

    Thanks for your kind reply @sebastiantoms . Clearly I'm missing some fundamental aspects of the configuration as I can clearly see how the camera traffic could be a log jam for the router. Hence, the piece of the puzzle for me is this; if the switch can be plugged into the router to provide...

    Help With POE Switch Placement

    I'm helping a friend install an IP camera system consisting of four outdoor cameras. The existing router is indoors, so I am going to make an interface box that will allow a cat5/6 connection to connect to the router from outside. I intended to use an 8 port POE switch for the externally mounted...

    What Am I Doing Wrong With Autocycle?

    So I just read thru a dozen or more threads about autocycle, but still can't get it to work. I'm using the latest rev of BI5 on a win10 PC with six cameras. All else works perfect. In my setup, I have two monitors. One of them has a camera open in a desktop frame and the other monitor shows...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I have an earlier version of the firmware (2.422.0000.0.R.4.2510, Build Date: 2016-09-21) and while I had the same issue, it was a cable (actually connector) problem. I wonder what version BI and what the settings are for your camera? What about your power supply?

    "Desktop Frame" Not Working

    After years of faithful BI performance, the "open in desktop frame" not longer works as the option is grayed out on the menu. I've searched the forum, hunted thru the sub-menus in BI, re-booted the PC, and on and on, but no can do, the option remains grayed out? Just wondering if anyone has an...

    What do you think it is ?

    So tonight while sitting in front of my PC, I hear an alert from my Dahua speed dome which is mounted above my roof. I took a look at the recorded video, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out what caused this weird flash of light. The Dahua happened to be pointed to my front gate. The...

    Flex Seal to Weatherproof

    Perfect, but "ugh", I've bolted everything up. Lesson learned, always look at the manufacturer's website. Maybe I'll have a resurgence of energy in a week or two. Thank you looney2ns.

    Flex Seal to Weatherproof

    You have a good eye. :) The cameras are about 30' off the deck. I'm mostly on 2 meters/440 but do operate HF. I also operate a remote base located on a mountain top here in San Luis Obispo county (California). Currently my radio room is empty during a renovation project at the house. Hope to...

    Flex Seal to Weatherproof

    Thanks for the link Bryan. I literally just came down from the tower and powered up the cameras. I left the connections unprotected for now until a make a choice about how to protect them (thankfully clear weather here for a while).

    Hey Bryan, just happened across your post and have to say that is some great work. As an aside, I also have that Microseven mic from Amazon and from day 1 mine has always had a low level hum.

    Flex Seal to Weatherproof

    I have the same issue/question as I am installing a pair of PTZ cams on a single horizontal arm affixed to a tower (hence found this thread). I would have thought there would be something that would be more durable and less messy in the event the connections or cams needed servicing? In my...
