I have been using Blue Iris for a few weeks now. Im am running on a Dell 5820 with Xeon and Nvidia P2000. Only other application on the machine is Home Assistant on a Hyper V VM. Licensed version of Windows 10 Pro. I have had 5 instances now of a random non-responsive computer. Recordings stop, usb keyboard and mouse do nothing. I have to force restart by holding down the power button. Previously i was running Milestone on another windows computer and it has been rock solid for 5 years. One of the reasons for changing was that i bought a couple of Dahua 5442 cams and i wanted to use camera side IVS and have alerts show up in the timeline which Xprotect could not do. I am recording 24/7 on 5 cams and download certain clips that are triggered by the camera side IVS.
I have been struggling a bit with BI in general. Its always takes a while to get used to new software but i personally find BI quite unituitive when it comes to the user intetface on both the console and the UI. Exporting a certain piece of footage for example seems unecessarily complicated to me. I'm sure I'll get used to it but having the computer crash is really testing me. There is nothing in either the windows logs or the BI logs just prior to the crash to give me any clues. Of course it is possible that it is a hardware or windows issue but my feeling is that it is BI causing the crash. When searching, i have found quite a few reports of similar behaviour but no resolution.
For some reason, the most recent crash on 26/12 caused all previous red alert lines in the timeline and in the clips list to dissapear. I now only have clips since the last crash. This seems odd behaviour and very frustrating as there were several clips I was planning on downloading in the list.
I have updated graphics card driver to latest from NVIDIA website, updated to latest version of windows, updated to latest version of BIOS, checked memory usage in case of memory leak (RAM about 50% CPU 20%). All this prior to last two crashes.
If I cant work it out I guess I'll put Xprotect on the mschine and see if it still happens. If not i guess I'll go back to it despite its lack of sbility to display camera side alerts in the timeline.
Any suggestions?
