PTZ camera back up and running, the BV-Tech 30W powered it up. The Rosewill 40W did not. I'm wondering if its old firmware on the camera that's not negotiating power requirements properly, as the WifiTexas that powered it before force fed it (passive poe).. Software Version...

Didn't even last a year. Purchased this camera about a year ago, had to be rebooted about every month, until finally, I can no longer power it up. Have tried 4 POEs when initially testing, but only one would keep it powered up. So I'm hoping its just a matter of needing a better POE. Using...

Use both... get in there and start messing aroud. The Blue Iris Video format is just the file type on the hard drive. Also keep in mind, as mentioned in this thread that without re-encoding, your video will not have timestamps, but usually the camera itself can add these. I have all my...

For comparison, I'm running an i7-6700 (Dell Optiplex 3040), 11 Cameras (8x 3MP, 3x 4MP), Dahua and Hikvision, Direct to disk recording 24x7, Highest quality setting on the camera, as well as motion detection enabled. My CPU is at 15-20% (and this is with a remote viewer (webpage) always...

Background: Blue Iris 4.4.9.4 11 IP Cameras, direct to disk recording, 15% CPU usage. System runs fine with these IP cams. I'm trying to add streams from a "Winbook Security D5008DH" DVR (This is a generic 8 analog input DVR box based on the Hi3520D chipset), it'll stream cameras via RTSP and...

Thanks. Its the blackface one. SD49225T-HN

So I got mine on Tuesday afternoon. my Brocade POE switch will not power it (camera keeps rebooting), yet the switch says its a Class4 802.3at, then drops power. I did manage to find another POE I had kicking around, and that works. It's been raining, so havnt had a chance to put it outside...

I also ordered a couple "SavvyPixel" cams for $69, amazon prime, delivered next day Amazon.com : Savvypixel 3 Megapixel Security Bullet Cameras HD 1080p 3mp Network IP Camera Outdoor Poe 3.6mm Lens Day Night IP67 Vandal-proof Weather-proof : Camera & Photo . These seem to be the exact same...

I have a friend who has one of the "Ring" two-way audio camera things. If you don't want to record, there is no subscription fee, BUT, you cannot access the live stream without their silly app. So no way to tie into BlueIris or anything else. I suppose you could probably do something with a...

A friend of mine who went through quite a few camera vendors, and had a lot fail, or need to be rebooted frequently finally settled on Dahua and Hikvision, as they have been running consistently for a couple years. I have 4 Dahuas and 2 hikvisions outside for the past 6 months, and they are...

It all depends on how good you are at networking, and your setup. If you do a static reservation in DHCP, and are also able to give a non-working gateway, then that may work. Another option, which I'm planning is have a separate VLAN/network for the cameras, and make the NVR (or in my case...

Yes, I also ordered that 25x 2MP Dahua starlight, not for straight up, but general roof viewing. Hopefully I get it in a week or two; hasnt left hong kong yet. Not quite sure where I'll mount it yet. For the pure sky view, instead of straight up, I'm thinking maybe under an eve, pointing as...

guessing you are referring to the SD49225T-HN?

Very good points. As I was typing that message, I started thinking about a straight up camera instead. Yes, fixed with auto-iris would make sense (or motorized iris in some fashion at least). Maybe one of the starlights would work (I've seen the reviews in your other thread). Still want a...

I'd like to mount a camera on my roof, upside down, so I get a full view of the sky, BUT, I'd also like to be able to view the ground around my house. 90 degrees would get me to about the horizon, maybe an extra 10-20 degrees would let me see some of my yard (further out, I'm not expecting to...

Thanks very much everyone for all the help and options! I downloaded the driver zip file from intel (rather than the installer), and was able to install the 21.20.16.4542 drivers manually, turned back on hardware accel, rebooted, and BI is holding steady at 1,570.8 MB, and around 4-6 % CPU usage...

yeah, I wish I had saved the various versions. The only one I have is 4.4.5.1 (September 2016), which is probably fine. Not sure what changed between 4.4.5.1 and 4.4.9.4. Can you tell me the date & filesize of 4.4.9.1? Maybe I can find it somewhere out there on the net... Unfortunately...

Onboard Intel HD Graphics 530, as part of the Skylake chipset. Turning off hardware acceleration completely makes it not lose memory as quick. Only about 200k per sec used as opposed to 2MB/sec.

false fix. I looked again today, and memory was leaking all over the floor. I'm thinking something, somewhere is triggering it... not just adding/changing a camera.

@bcd; try ls -alrt /mnt/mtd/Config which will sort files by date (newest on bottom), and see if theres any sort of recent "blacklist" type of file, or a file updated that may have blacklist info. Also, just type date to see what the camera thinks the current date is, so you can compare against...

So, I'm playing around with another camera, and after adding it to BI, once again, memory is leaking all over the place. Restarting BI or Rebooting did not help. So, I went to device manager, and uninstalled the HD 530 graphics driver, which prompted a reboot. After rebooting, the same driver...

@chorizo, thanks for doing all the hard work for this... For anyone wondering, here is how to make this thing a DHCP client (all my cams are dhcp, and I setup reservations on my router) once logged into the telnet session, issue this command: echo 1 > /mnt/mtd/Config/dhcp.cfg the camera will...

nice job, shrapse. for all my NC/NO sensors, I went the Pi route w/GPIO. The next thing to tackle is how to trigger cameras in BI. I notice that BI will allow "Global DIO input bits" on a camera for trigger, and in Digital I/O, you can setup "single byte i/o (Arduino)". I bought a UNO r3...

@hawkigrad: yes, problem seems to be solved. it's only using 976.7 MB right now, after running overnight last night, and all day today. So maybe windows update and/or reboot actually fixed it? Odd, because like I said, it was running fine, I updated BI, and it was immediately leaking memory...

That reminds me of a message I saw SOMEWHERE about windows update breaking the quick sync drivers. So I removed the video drivers and rebooted. Oddly, the intel drivers refused to install, insisting that I use drivers from the vendor (Dell in this case), so windows update just re-installed the...

Was adding a couple more dahua cameras, and noticed there was an update, silly me, I figure sure, what the heck, and applied 4.4.9.4 (I'm pretty sure I was on 4.4.9.x before, just not sure what x was.. and dont know if theres a way to check now). Anyway, after adding the cams, going out, coming...

Hmm... the Dahua 4216-4k is around $380, not sure about it's features tho, and MD compatibility with non-dahua, but at least its a box you can just set and forget, and 16 cams. Wondering how far a i5-4590 based system will go as far as # of cams... at $170 for the CPU, then another $400 to...

So I made the mistake of diversifying, I have 3 Hikvision 3MP cams, and 4 Dahua 3MP. To record it all, I get one of those el-cheapo 8 channel escam NVRs. It seems to only want to display the hikvisions, it MIGHT be recording all the cams tho, but the UI is a bit clunky. Next, I planned on...
