How many total cameras and how much ram? Have you looked at your CPU usage? Are the Amcrest cameras the only 1080p?Is anyone experiencing micro freezes when using the ProHD? I have several of them, a few Foscam and a few Hikvision, yet all the Amcrest cameras will "freeze" (go unresponsive for 5-7 seconds). This occurs in the live views and shows up during recordings as well. I can confirm that this does NOT occur outside of Blue Iris. When I have the all cameras view up, I will see any Amcrest ProHD camera attached "freeze" (showing both the Amcrest timestamp and BlueIris timestamp stopped), but all the others continue (other cameras timestamp and BlueIris timestamp changing as expected). I've tried via Wired ethernet and Wifi, both exhibit the exact same issue. Latest version of Blue Iris x64 on i7-3770.
Anyone else? I initially noticed this when I turned the sound on in my newborn sons room, at first I thought it was just a bad microphone, but it was actually "freezing".
You might be able to repair it. I've had three indoor Foscam 8910W's that got drenched with hoses washing off a covered deck above them. I was able to repair all three of them by taking out the circuit boards and cleaning them with a brush and alcohol. Two were at my Mom's house and one at a clients house. That was several months ago and they're all still working.one thing about the Amcrest ProHD - it's not weatherproof. Of course, it's not advertised as such! I have one in my entryway, which is well protected from the weather. The other one under an eave in my backyard. I was hoping it would be protected enough from the weather to survive, but we had one heck of a storm last night and rain was going sideways. Anyway, that camera is now dead. I knew this was a possibility, and even thought of building a shield of some sort, but didn't get around to it.
I was able to fix the 5-7 second video freezing problem that was occurring in Blue Iris by changing the Amcrest camera model from "ProHD 1080P TSP/HTTP" to "IP2M-841W Main Stream RTSP" and by unselecting "Use RTSP/stream timecode".Is anyone experiencing micro freezes when using the ProHD?

any tips on popping the case open to get at the circuit board?You might be able to repair it. I've had three indoor Foscam 8910W's that got drenched with hoses washing off a covered deck above them.

I don't know about the Amcrest, but if I remember right, the Foscam's had four tiny screws on the bottom. I believe two were under rubber feet and two were under seals that covered the holes. I don't think I unplugged all the cables. I mainly wanted to get to the underside of the circuit board to clean the residue left by the water. None of those cameras worked after getting soaked with water until I cleaned the circuit board with Isopropyl alcohol and a brush.any tips on popping the case open to get at the circuit board?
