    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS huge internet traffic

    In the camera interface, P2P is located under the network tab, in the access platform. I don't use SmartPSS so I have no remarks there. A better explanation of your network topology would help-what is your current setup and what do you want to do?

    model rec w/ SMD(person) & vid qual =/> IPC-HFW1831E ?

    That is too general a question to ask. It depends on your use case scenario. Some cameras are going to perform better given the circumstances. You may get more input from the forum if you posted how you will use the camera and ask for suggestions.

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS huge internet traffic

    You may have blocked the camera itself from accessing the web, but if you've activated P2P, and SmartPSS may be running as a service so it records whether you're live viewing it or not, I would say that may be suspect. Turn off the P2P, always use a VPN to get to anything at home. SmartPSS may...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS huge internet traffic

    Maybe the camera log file will tell you something. (Ignore the quantity of logs seen in screenshot, I'm dialing in a new 5442T-ZE) Highlight an entry and you can see an IP address.

    DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-S3 jelly footage

    Thank you for the info. My question wasn't clear. It was the reference to best practices for setting i and p frames, and how this affects quality in different software (i.e. Blue Iris behaves better when i and p frame match). Your explanation above helped. There is the perpetual mention to...

    DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-S3 jelly footage

    I just read the article myself, I hope I interpreted this correctly...so the encoder plays a part in determining the iframe/p-frame relationship, the encoder in the camera hardware or the encoder in the software? What if there is a conflict between the two encoders? Just looking for clarity so...

    DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-S3 jelly footage

    There seems to be two schools of though regarding fps and iframe settings. There are numerous mentions to match fps and iframe, but a post above mentions that matching is counterproductive to higher quality. I apologize if this is OT and hijack the thread, but can someone explain what benefits...

    IPC-HFW1831E IPC-HX2(1)XXX-Sag_Eng_PN 20220823

    Something I did notice is that live streaming using any browser does not work if camera is set to H.265. If I switch the camera back to H.264 live stream works fine. My IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and IPC-HFW4231EP-SE are also set to H.265 and live view in camera web interface works fine for those models...

    Logitech alert 700e - Second-hand - Power on but No IP address from DHCP

    I don't have any experience using wireshark. It was marketed as a "plug and play" system, there really isn't an interface to check settings in, that's not what the target market was. If I saw a camera that wasn't following the expected way it was supposed to function, the usual fix was to...

    Logitech alert 700e - Second-hand - Power on but No IP address from DHCP

    This may or may not apply to your situation, and we won't worry about this at this time, but another idea you may try is to try a different outlet for the powerline adapter. I am unfamiliar with electrical systems in EU, but typically in the US residential there are two sides in a circuit box...

    Logitech alert 700e - Second-hand - Power on but No IP address from DHCP

    I may be able to help, I started with a Logitech Wilife system, then upgraded to an Alert system, before going down the rabbit hole of IP cameras and Blue Iris. I actually had a mix of Wilife and Alert cameras running in Blue Iris 3/4. We will diagnose the connection issue first. I would...

    Help! Need to catch mice or rats on camera at night!

    I tried to do the same thing when I found rat droppings in the engine bay of both cars. With IR I didn't get the contrast difference needed to set off motion detect. It sucked to do this, but I found the most reliable way to see them was to scrub thru the video at an acceptable speed and I...

    Low Quality with H264 Re-Encode

    According to the tech specs for the IP8M-2696EW, you have a third stream at 1080p, all you're doing by having Blue Iris do something different that what the camera stream is providing is asking for trouble and no video when you need it most, pull the third stream.

    Blue Iris Alternatives

    Another indicator your setup may need attention is when you posted your CPU and memory usage. I don't know what your cameras are, but you have an i7 8700 CPU with 16GB of memory, and your CPU is 15-20% and memory is using 4GB. Is this a dedicated computer for NVR? I'm only noting this because...

    Blue Iris Alternatives

    Currently using BIv4 and Geniusvision. I am testing to replace Geniusvision due to lack of active development, specifically H.265 support. I (mostly) follow best practices and have a dedicated PC for NVR. I run Win10Pro to use the group policies to dictate how the OS runs so my system runs...

    Blue Iris Alternatives

    Agreed. BIv5 is actively being developed, some updates may be stable, others not. What you are experiencing may be a symptom and not the cause. You may be better served by diagnosing your current issue rather than finding a replacement. You may find yourself in the same situation with a...

    Blue Iris Alternatives

    Hi Niel, I may be able to help. Are you using Blue Iris v4 or v5? Why are looking for a change? What features are you looking for in NVR software that you aren't getting now? I'd like more information on what your needs are rather than launching into a huge dissertation on why I don't like...

    Spectrum raise internet prices again (2021)?

    It did go up $5/month for users with internet service only (no cable tv service/package discount). There is no cap according to the documentation on their site. I did see a notice, in very fine print, in the emailed bill.

    Can you educate me on how this is done? Export to .avi, no re-encode, choose Blue Iris software as the playback program.

    Running Great Until Export

    bp2008, sidebar question but topic related: I have BI v4, and I'm pretty sure BI v5 doesn't have this (yet), but is there a way to clip video and export as BVR file to retain digital zoom on the saved clip when played back in BI? If no, how would one go about requesting to add a feature that...

    So you mean to un-select the re-encode option on the export?

    Running Great Until Export

    This seems to apply to your issue when exporting, I didn't see if you mentioned if you were running BI v4 or v5, but I would imagine they would be the same. Did you apply the inactive profile to turn off the live view when you are exporting video clips? If this is only during exporting, try...

    Unable to eliminate video "traces" during movement

    Did you try defaulting the camera settings? Did this recently start or always done this? Made any changes recently to either the camera settings or recording software? Try a firmware update?

    Custom home build must haves?

    Wow, wish I knew half of this when we built our house 15 years ago. If I may also take liberty in going a little off topic but someone may come up with something of interest worth following up on. There are some fantastic ideas here that I will investigate if we ever do another build or even...
