    Advice needed regarding cpu upgrade

    Thanks for the reply. I have some hp 6300's and 8300's that I was planning on using for other projects. I'll probably try to put one together for BI instead and see how it looks.

    Missing several weeks of recordings

    Thanks for the reply. I increased them to 500gb each for New and Stored. That should be enough right? I have a 2tb hdd. Also, will it automatically overwrite the oldest files if the drive does fill up? Thanks

    2 stream setting in Trendnet camera

    I just installed a Trendnet camera to replace one of my Hikvision cams that died. While looking through the settings to see if I can do anything to improve the picture quality I saw that there are settings for two different video streams. What is the second stream and do I need to set it any...

    DS-2CD3120F-I not displaying video. Is it dead?

    Hello everyone, I was originally trying to t/s this as a problem with settings but it looks like it is actually a hardware issue. As you can see in the screenshots I can access the camera on the network but I don't get a video feed, just a black screen with a green artifact-like rectangle in the...

    Thanks for the reply, sorry it took me so long to respond. I tried changing the camera type form the drop down and the results were the same. Here is a screenshot of that cameras image settings. They are identical to the working camera.

    Hello everyone, I recently had to replace the pc I am using as a BI server. I started this thread : Cameras not being detected after reinstall because initially the cameras were not being detected my BI. They still are not being detected when I search for them, but I am able to successfully add...

    Cameras not being detected after reinstall

    Thanks for the reply. I changed the camera model but there was no difference. Now, one of the cameras is working, but the other one still shows that green box with the exact same settings. Im thinking it may be an issue with the camera. I am going to create a new post to discuss it.

    Cameras not being detected after reinstall

    Hello everyone, I have a bit of a dilemma. I was running BI for 6-7 months without issue when the PC I was using just died. I replaced it with a new one and reinstalled BI, but now the cameras are not being detected. They are not found if I choose to detect them, and if I manually type in their...

    Can a Kidde Remotelync camera be added to Blue Iris?

    Hello everyone, I have been slowly adding some cameras to my parents home and was looking for an option to cover the front door ( which I posted about elsewhere). I came across this Kidde camera, RemoteLync Camera , for dirt cheap and picked it up just to see if I can add it to my Blue Iris...

    Looking for help picking out 2 new cameras

    Thanks for the info, 100ft might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but incase its not, what would be possible in that budget? I don't really need to read a plate when they're all the way down there. if they could be read while moving, they will pass in front of the house, if thats even realistic.

    BI no longer breaking up videos by alert

    Hello everyone, I have been using blue iris for a while now and you helped me out once before with a delay and stutter I was having. That issue has been resolved (thanks again) but I just recently noticed different problem. I don't check the dvr unless I have a reason to or I go on to check for...

    Stuttering and delays on live stream and playback

    Thanks everyone. My issue seems resolved. Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a good chance to check sooner due to work and bad weather. So, just to make sure I understand the problem was largely cause by the frame rates being too high and/or mismatched ?

    Stuttering and delays on live stream and playback

    Im going to leave the stranded for now and see if these software settings can resolve the issue, but eventually Ill probably change the cable out anyway. Ive done plenty of ping test and never see any loss or significant latency. I just entered the settings that cyberwolf and you guys mentioned...

    Stuttering and delays on live stream and playback

    Here are the "file format and compression" settings. I wasn't sure which video settings you were asking for so I sent both. I only changed the frame interval last night when I was reading about some other settings. The issue existed before I dropped it to 25.

    Stuttering and delays on live stream and playback

    Unfortunately I just double checked and the cable I installed was stranded. I stupidly assumed that shielded outdoor rated cable would be solid since its obviously intended for long term install. I am going to change that , but in the mean time is there anything else that can be the issue. The...

    Stuttering and delays on live stream and playback

    Hello everyone, I recently installed blue iris along with 2 hikvision DS-2CD3120F-I cameras hooked up via POE. The first camera works generally well but I have noticed some pretty severe stuttering when people walk by. It doesn't always happen but when it does it pretty severe and shows up...
