Back in town. I appreciate you guys. I tried all the suggestions above. I had the i frame interval set to double the FPS, but setting it to parity didn't seem to improve the delay. Switched "limit decoding" to "off" and also disabled overlays. Minimal effect on delay. You're right Mike I...

Thanks guys. Lots of good information. Can someone explain keyframe vs i frame? I will look at this stuff when I get back.

I think you may have hit upon something. I do have a switch behind the router that I had forgotten about since it is in a remote location. I suspect it could be a 10/100. Will have to check when I get back. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

I’ll be out of town for several days and will try unplugging some cameras when I get back. The switch is made by Nway. It’s a gigabit switch. Is this total bitrate unusually large?

Oh, duh. That would make more sense. Here is what I have: Thanks for your help. FWIW, it's the "Cube" on xxx.101 that is connected to it's own POE injector. Not sure what to do with this information or your line of thinking. Is there a practical limit on bitrate at which point you can...

Yeah that makes sense. The cams which are lagging on their display times are all running through a 16 port Nway POE switch. The cam with the clock which is running ahead is connected to an injector. Seems surprising that it would be running fast, though. Yes, direct to disk and hardware accel...

Thanks for the reply. Have NetTime setup and running as a service. Turned off Windows Time Service. Still don't have perfect agreement between clocks. When viewing all cameras at once in BI, the clocks can be seen to differ from system time. Some are off by 30 seconds or more. All cams except...

I have 10 Hikvision cameras connected to a dedicated Windows 10 Pro machine, running Blue Iris. I'm having trouble getting the camera clocks to synchronize. I followed the article here: How to Create a Standalone NTP Server With Windows and went through the process of setting up the W32Time...

If Nettime is setup properly on your PC and each camera is set to update every minute, is it unusual for there to be several seconds of disparity between cameras. Most of my cams are within a 1-2 seconds of each other, but I do have an outlier. How close do your camera times align with each...

One thing you can say about Oklahoma, it is a cheap place to live..... $0.04 per kwh

Success! Been retracing my steps over the past couple of days. Reconfigured more than once. I was just about ready to switch to dd-wrt. Not sure exactly which step made made the difference, but it works now. Was able to confirm I'm going through the vpn as iphones ipaddress is now in the vpn's...

Found the setting for UDP/TCP and enabled both. Nayr, I just read that about the passthrough options being irrelevant to this. There is some good information on the OpenVPN site. They do talk about firewalls being a problem either on the server or client side. But, disabling the firewalls and...

nayr, mrralphman, randytsuch, fenderman. Thanks for the assistance. The only options for VPN settings are IPSec Passthrough, PPTP Passthrough and L2TP Passthrough. These are all enabled. Don't see an option for TCP/UDP. Have to work on this more when I get back in tonight. Perhaps this...

I appreciate all the help. Sorry for the initial confusion. Doesn't appear that this is just a BI issue. Though the OpenVPN Connect app indicates that it is connected, I'm not actually able to get onto the LAN. Don't know a lot about this, but could it be a firewall issue? The Incoming log on...

When I launch the OpenVPN app on the iPhone it shows that it has connected. But when I try to use Safari on the phone to login to an iPaddress on the home network I just get a blank page.

Okay, so the port is disabled. VPN is active. Mobile BI app no longer able to remote into BI server.

Thanks for the reply. This is going to take some hand holding. Closing the port does block the connection. But, if it's not too much to ask, could someone advise me on how to configure the BI webserver and mobile app to work with the VPN.

I really appreciate all the help I've gotten from you guys. This is an embarrassing question, but I'm a novice. I have my home router (Linksys WRT1900 ACS) set up as an OpenVPN server. I have the OpenVPN client and the Blue Iris mobile app on my iPhone. The BI client was setup using the wizard...

I purchased several 2CD 2432WD-I cameras from NetView a couple of weeks ago. They arrived within a few days in original packaging. Very pleased. I've purchased on Aliexpress as well, but I had more confidence when purchasing from Amazon. I had to return a camera purchased from Aliexpress and it...

Thanks for the quick response, fenderman. That was it. --Om

Having problems with I Frame settings. My Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I won't allow changes to the I Frame Interval. The box for this setting shows the number 50 and is grayed out. (Incidentally max bitrate is also grayed out.)Firmware ver. is V.5.3.8 build 151224. Tried logging in with IE, FF and...

Milk. I'd like some camera info. PM me please. Thanks.

Kawboy12R, Thanks for the detailed and well considered reply! This is precisely what I needed to know.

Hi, I'm a novice, but have decided to use Hikvision Exir Turrets around the exterior of the house. The cameras I've purchased, though, all have the 4mm lens. I was curious if those could be swapped out for 2.8mm lenses? If so, can you point me to a source for the 2.8mm lenses? Thanks, Om
