Re: New cameras, old server, lots of hangs

Overnight the H.264 change fixed both cameras with regard to hangs in the BI interface live as well as playback.

I still have the UI3 problem but perhaps should open a new thread for that, as it appears different from the H.265 issues.

Re: New cameras, old server, lots of hangs

Someone else will need to hop in for the UI3 stuff. I only use it infrequently. Thanks. I'm delighted to have the cameras working, but I use the UI3 stuff whenever I travel, just VPN in and run it. Since (unless something changed) you can't run the BI program itself on a different device, much less...

Re: New cameras, old server, lots of hangs

There is the possibility that the GPUs are banging into each other somehow in Blue Iris. You may want to designate the 6700 (Intel) as the default in the main BI 'Cameras' settings and ensure default is designated in each camera's decode configuration. This should isolate the two GPUs for testing. ...

Re: New cameras, old server, lots of hangs

More details about the current hardware would be helpful as would additional detail about the camera configurations. Server is a Z170-WS i7-6700 system running W10x64, 64gb memory, everything on SSD except target of BI's video saves. There's just no sign of any resource issues there, hard faults ne...

New cameras, old server, lots of hangs

I have a problem that might be the cameras, but it is puzzling and hope someone can give me a start. I had BI running at my prior home with 7 cameras, working perfectly (well, except the reolink for its own reasons). These were all 4k, a combination of hikvision, lorex and one reolink. The server is...

Re: Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

Hmmm... I see that, it saves a few dollars and a lot of disk space (i.e. longer retention). I didn't see any 1/1.2" sensors that had the varifocal lens for 4k. I do a lot of still photography so understand how big pixels and noise work in concept, but... are there any posted comparisons of thos...

Re: Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

I found a good looking empire tech on amazon ( IPC-T58IR-ZE S S3) which makes it returnable, going to give it a try. I like the varifocal, since I can then buy the same camera for different viewpoints and adjust, or more flexibility if I decide the viewpoint was a bad choice and move it. NDAA compli...

Setting up again - any reason not to buy Hikvision?

Due to a move haven't had security cameras going in a few months, but about to get wiring done and set up again, with about 6-8 outdoor POE cameras recording full time (at low frame rate). Done this for years with Blue Iris, have good hardware for it, not worried about the BI side. Over the years I'...

Re: Reolink RLC-823A 16X any tips? 3D?

Yeah, certainly will be the last Reolink I buy, the buffer was not a real fix, I'm back to 15s. It varies a lot how far off it is. I'm probably within my RMA period but it's installed, had to drill out holes in the bracket a bit, etc., so really can't return it.

Re: Reolink RLC-823A 16X any tips? 3D?

With buffer at 32mb the last 24 hours or so fell behind only 3 seconds, so a definite improvement. No response from reolink.
