    Hik DS-2CD2032-I Night time motion blur

    That does not look like blur. It's ghosting, which is a way to say some of the delta frames are being mishandled (dropped, wrong order, and so on). An exposure of 1/25 sec. is plenty for walking speed. What software are you using to show this? If that only happens at night, that makes it...

    Missing frames on MD clip starts

    Detection by line crossing or field intrusion event is the way to go if you have a Hik. Too bad it's an either/or for those two events. You get two separate and distinct lines to cross, though, so that can make up for it.

    Considering Intel NUC 5 i7 (RYH) for BI Server - feedback?

    As you write, this affects that app. It's not an ideal. Use the hardware, Luke. The IP camera is a computer made just for this. It has access to the image before any compression, and so it is in the best position to detect (whatever it is you want it to detect -- line crossing and field...

    Blue iris video is not smooth

    Camnet handles that no problem. It won't even break into a sweat.

    Ip camera wattage rating

    Power (watts) = volts x amps It doesn't make much sense to specify the voltage if you already have watts. The meter you have should have a power factor reading, the difference between what it sees as power and what it sees as volts and amps. So it watts is 5 and power factor is 0.5, you are...

    How about something simple? No words needed. Just look at the two screen captures.

    Windows 7 audio problem after upgrade to blue iris 4

    You might be running dumbed-down software that is shooting at ports hoping to find something, like a weird, proprietary camera or two. This is a stupid thing to do if you ask me. If you have a way to make it stop, do so, even if that is not the cause of this particular problem.

    Help - BI Lag/hanging/crash, and remove viewers hanging - Any suggestions?

    Have you considered (hold your ears BI fans) other software? Find your way to my profile here and check the home page. Click on CAMNET. One license covers a lot. Say 10,000 cameras on 1,000 servers, if you could put that in your house. Business? A bit more for a single location, but still...

    Blue Iris kills my i7 pc

    Click on my home page. At that location, add cnx and that gets to the index page of the QSG, from where it all begins. The software is multi-featured. Very small (the server exe disk footprint is under 1MB, and so is the client exe). I don't know what full featured vms would mean to any...

    Blue Iris kills my i7 pc

    P.S. The PC client seen in the screenshot uses Media Foundation for video decoding and rendering. For H.264, that PC client uses zero-to-nothing CPU, to answer your question; the GPU does the H.264 decoding and rendering. Back in November 2012 I released a Costco Cam viewer. I ran 5 minutes at...

    Blue Iris kills my i7 pc

    Nothing to remember, I made it. I know what it does. I said "1 percent... period" and that means exactly that. On an Atom. At 498 MHz. Next week a QSG should be up. It's maybe not so quick start, but a guide it is. If you remember, or just think, spending $70 per license and then having...

    Blue Iris kills my i7 pc

    How many times have you seen "got it down to ..." but then that's "idle", whatever that means. This system is 1%...period, on an Atom, at 498 MHz. The one you see in the screen shot is free, as CNX32FREE and as CNX64FREE. No registry used. No registration. No phoning home. Some time in May.

    Blue Iris kills my i7 pc

    How about a picture tells a thousand stories? Maybe not. How about this? Look closely at the upper-left of the status panel in the image below. That is the remote system's CPU use and CPU MHz according to Windows WMI. This is an Atom Bay Trail CPU, speed-stepped down to 498 MHz, around...

    Weird i-frame linked artifacting in videos

    11 is a reference to an old movie. Set it up all the way (100). A lot of cameras do this by the way.

    Weird i-frame linked artifacting in videos

    I did not look at the video but if it's what I think it is (pulsing every I-frame), for a H* turn the noise reduction to 11. I think that takes care of it. The main cause I believe is that encoding quality on all IP cameras (that I have, at least) is poor; even jacking up the bitrate won't...

    Password fails with No-IP

    The sure-fire way to find out what is going on is to use a network sniffer.Wireshark, weird UI that is has, is one. There are others.It's a useful education so worth the effort to use it if you plan on fixing network problems yourself.When using a network sniffer don't use https to the camera...

    Onvif port conflict

    Paras lost (see if I can fix that). Is the problem camera rebooting or only losing picture for some time (how long)? Just to make that clear. Anyway, I'd do this to start: - Disconnect all but the problem camera Still happen? Yes. It's got nothing to do with the other cameras. Probably a...
