    green triangle beneath camera and main stream status but nothing in BI status and no information what it means

    it is sporadic so I have trouble getting a screenshot... Here is the main window, this cam has no IR so black only currently: I also saw the same green triangle but bigger on the right side of the blue bar on the bottom but have not managed to get that on screenshot: Edit: hold on... there...

    green triangle beneath camera and main stream status but nothing in BI status and no information what it means

    In BI sometimes I see a green triangle next to a camera. What does this green triangle mean? BI itself has the BI Status where (as I understand) all messages from all cameras are gathered (I see a signal restore where I switched off a camera, so the status collects messages). But with this...

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    I do not remember why I set it at this shutter speed, probably because the image was too dark at night. The camera cannot do some automatic shutter speed.

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    It is a Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-I and is capable of doing 30fps.

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    Yes, the camera has this ability and it does work. If there is an event detected it is sent to Surveillance Station doing the recording. So the detection is not done in SS (which would definitly require an iframe) but it is done in the camera (which is the question if the camera needs an iframe...

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    I am not sure, I found nothing about the Hik protocol in the cam settings in Surveillance Station, but the event detection algorithm source can be done by camera or by surveillance station. I guess the camera still is doing the detection, but that does not answer the question :(

    BI: What means Setup -1 for 'h264'..... Does it mean HW acceleration is active?

    In the BI Status for the cameras I understand that HW VA not compatible means the current Hardware acceleration is not compatible, so I must set a different one. From here: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/what-does-hw-va-not-compatible-mean.18866/ What does the following line mean: "HW decode"...

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    The exposure settings are in Image-Display Settings-Exposure settings, correct? If so, there is only: Iris Mode: Manual Exposure Time: 1/12 Network setup: From the PC I have BI on, to a Netgear 1GBit switch to a Netgear 1GBit Switch to the camera. Would this information be sufficient?

    That is the case, I only use H264.

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    I set up a IP camera in Blue Iris. For testing I set the cam to Constant Bit Rate, best quality and 30 fps. BI is reporting a main stream frame rate of around 10 fps. Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out? The Max Rate in BI is set to 30 fps for this camera.

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    Thank you, It leaves me with the question: What is a frame rate of 1/16 good for? (I will not use it it is just curiosity)

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    Thank you, here is a screenshot, it is the frame rate menu: Edit: Now I get it.... The I Frame Interval is in fractions... So if it is set to 100 every 100th frame is an iframe....

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    a question about understanding Frame rate, iframes and BI: 1) In my Hikvision camera I can set a frame rate and a i frame Interval. The maximum frame rate is 20 fps, but I can also set 1/16, 1/8 and other low numbers fps. Does that actually mean 1/16 frames per second, means one frame every 16...

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    If a Hikvision camera has Line crossing detection activated, does line crossing need a iframe to trigger if Line crossing is done in Surveillance station? Does it need an iframe if Line Crossing is active directly on the camera as well or is it independent there? Read on this posting...

    clicking camera window on one pc selects camera, on other pc enlarges it - how to change?

    What happens if a IP Camera is connected to LAN with POE as well as connected to its normal 12V power supply at the same time?

    What happens if a IP Camera is connected to LAN with POE as well as connected to its normal 12V power supply at the same time? Would it damage something? Can all cameras be connected this way?

    get mail notifications back to work - they do not work anymore since yesterday

    Thank you for the answers, the test NTP server button is a good suggestion. When clicking the button the cam waits for a bit and then I get a white screen, no confirmation. I tried the camera on a unfirewalled network and it is the same. Which leads me to the assumption Hikvision somehow...

    Hello all, I have 2 Hikvision cameras DS-2CD2142FWD-I which worked fine until today. I have line crossing detection where a mail should be sent. I received the mails for years, but since yesterday they stopped. I tried a few mail servers but always get back a "failed to connect to the test...

    POE problems and camera reboots (specially at night)

    Reporting back, I purchased some LAN cables, the cable reads 24 gauge Cat 6. I currently only connected one camera via a 24 gauge cable, removing the 32 gauge with the POE injector. the camera still reboots randomly, a ping onto the camera is lost as well during this time. Is there a way to...

    Should I upgrade my Hikvision cameras?

    I have a few DS-2CD2142FWD-I cameras. I blocked them from internet access except port 123 for NTP and 465 for mail. The cameras are still at firmware version 5.5.0 build 170725 Should I upgrade them to a newer version? Is it possible to downgrade to the old version if something does not work...

    Video "cuts off" in BI differently on different PCs but not in Hik-Connect - some sort of buffer problem?

    The cameras are not going through a router. The cams are on a switch with lan cables, attached to this switch is a PC. This shows "cut offs" as well, despite the wire connection. This switch is connected to Powerlan, on a different powerlan adapter is another PC, this shows different "cutoffs"...

    Video "cuts off" in BI differently on different PCs but not in Hik-Connect - some sort of buffer problem?

    I am running BI on a few computers and sometimes have issues with some cameras. The video feed from BI to the cameras "seems to" cut off making BI display "no signal" message. I then set BI to automatic "restart camera" - this function does not restart the camera but just restarts the BI...

    POE Switch but for wider operating temperatures? (mount in the uninsulated attic)

    I am currently rebuilding my network. Mostly because my network(s) are split into multiple wired networks connected via powerlan and I want to get rid of powerlan. Currently a few cameras are connected to a switch. Unfortunately I cannot add more cables to the switch because the switch is on...

    which PoE switches are recommended and work for all cameras?

    Hello all, I have a few Hikvision and other (small brands but could be rebranded Hikvision) cameras. All of them are powered via PoE, but a few years ago I had problems with this setup. The cameras were working fine but randomly they stopped working and did not power back up again. I do not...

    getting interrupts in BI, can it be because of variable stream when no movement is there?

    BI is displaying "no Signal" with I think the last image received from the camera, where then the watchdog kicks in and restarts the BI interface to the camera (showing the colored test screen) and then BI shows the camera picture again as nothing were wrong. The weird thing is, currently...

    getting interrupts in BI, can it be because of variable stream when no movement is there?

    No, it is connected to LAN and PoE, from the PoE switch to one PC is a direct LAN connection, from the PoE switch to my laptop is a Powerline connection. The interrupts happen on both the PC (wired connection via Switch to camera) as well on my Powerline connected laptop.

    getting interrupts in BI, can it be because of variable stream when no movement is there?

    I have some problems with my Hikvision camera. I added them to Blue Iris, but I often get "no signal", it appears the feed is interupted. Ping to the camera works fine and i set BI watchdog to restart the camera window after 2 timeouts and the timeout period of 20 seconds. That works but why do...
