    Camera Keeps resetting it's own password

    I don't recall. I remember one of them was purchased on ebay (used) but I can't recall which it was. I have two bullet cams that were purchased from amazon via 3rd party...

    Tried updating fw of the camera. Now I no longer can access it... been over 10 minutes. That's a bummer. I have 3 port forwards, Blue Iris, Plex Server and Octoprint (for 3d printing)

    Camera Keeps resetting it's own password

    I used to use a VPN on that computer (PIA with port forwarding) but I haven't used it in a while. I had issues with it when they would reassign port numbers etc. I checked off UPNP on the camera. For port forwarding, where do I look on camera settings? I just have the Port tab with the...

    Camera Keeps resetting it's own password

    it is for the admin. I just changed the password again (used recovery tool). Let me check the port forwarding article now. I access everything through blue iris. How will I access it if I disable everything? I'm on 5.2.5 build 141201

    Camera Keeps resetting it's own password

    How common is it to get hacked? I don't login with Default PW. I don't know FW because I just got locked out, so I can't see until I login after I reset password. I believe camera resets it because I can see the password on blue iris and I know the password. I've always been afraid of fw...

    Tips on lowering CPU usage

    Is it necessary for ANY reason to have the GUI running along with the service? To be honest, most of the time, I just access it from my phone, or another computer. Not very often do I need it where I need to be watching my screens.

    Tips on lowering CPU usage

    Alright, I did all the suggestions (most was already in place) and it looks like things are running smoother now. Dropping FPS from 15 to 10 made the biggest difference. I shut off limit decoding (I can tell it was moving very slowly with it on) you like suggested. Blue Iris is at ~20% now...

    Tips on lowering CPU usage

    You're right, I forgot. it came with an i3 and the xeon. Mine is the Xeon I went through the help files and didn't find "performance tweaking" post.

    Tips on lowering CPU usage

    Hey guys, I bought a TS140 in 2015 and it had been working fine for me for a while. about a year ago, I noticed I have been using like 90% constantly on the CPU just to keep it running (no recording or anything). I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what's going on... I would gladly...

    BI with private/anonymous VPN

    I sort of understand what you mean. My public IP is not accessible now though. My Local IP is visible for my computer within the house, but not outside the house. I also don't understand how I would separately forward BI to the router. I like the anonymity, but if I can't access my cameras, it...

    BI with private/anonymous VPN

    Hey everyone, I just subscribed to NordVPN and also Private Internet Access (PIA) and it seems I'm out of luck for port forwarding with these. I initually got NordVPN, but it doesn't port forwarding at all. I then looked into PIA and that apparently supports dynamic port forwarding... My...

    Blue Iris and Plex on the Same server

    Are these computers smart enough to dedicate 1 core per software though? lol I thought about making a plex server as well. But honestly, we just use netflix and other video stream companies, so we would almost never use plex, which is why I haven't really even attempted it... lol with all the...

    artifact here and there

    Thanks buddy. we were trouble shooting this a while back. I started this one up because it's a new computer and still similar issues... I can tell you it only does it in D2D, re encode did not do it. camera has i-frames matched to fps (15 and 15) I tried 15 camera and 20 blue iris. it got even...

    Blocky/choppy video

    Ok, let's see if this worked. I have the camera at 15, and I'll do 20 for BI. it was 15 before (so same) edit: nope didn't help. What did help was going from D2D to re encode, but that's not something I really need as I have time stamps already, and it just uses up extra CPU

    artifact here and there

    So I've had this issue for some time now, but always blamed it on the computer I had which I was using for recording (it was a 2nd gen i5 laptop, which couldn't handle this, always running 80% CPU load) so fast forward to today, I finally got a TS140 thinkserver which is a Xeon 1225v3 running...
