NoSignal Count not working on most of my cameras.

How do I ensure blue iris is keeping count of NoSignal? What setting is it? 3 of my cams it works as expect. The other 5 always show 0. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Yes, but I recall disabling the tracking of no signal counts. I just can’t recall what I did. I am confident these cameras are getting no signal blue iris just isn’t reflecting it.
 
figured it out, there is a camera setting on the watchdog tab labeled Restart Camera Window After xx sec. I had this box checked. I simply unchecked this option in watchdog and I am back to seeing no signal count appropriately.

Thanks Everyone.

I know this is an old Thread, but did not want to start a new one.

Somehow a few months ago I noticed my Thermal CAM getting NoSignal in the Logs. I actually saw the Thermal Lens (Live Feed) show No Signal. Then the Visual Lens did the same thing a few seconds later. This would happen within about 5 minutes intervals. Over the past few months I would periodically watch it, could not put my finger on exact times. Went to the Camera's settings and could not figure out what changed. It worked fine prior.

I did a continuous ping test a few different times to the Camera and not one drop signal, steady 1 to 2ms

Ended up adding another Camera (Doorbell POE) and noticed the same NoSignal issue. Nothing in it's setting stood out either.

Was this from a Windows update? No BI update since last year my subscription expired.

I do see the loss signal, skipped part in the recorded videos in BI.

Any suggestions be appreciated. Both CAMs are RTSP feeds and I have stay alive on them, tried unchecking and no difference...

The thermal cams will close the shutter if the heat is too hot - say a morning or evening sun, or even a riding mower. That in turn could be interpreted as a monochrome no signal issue like we see with LPR cams that are actually providing an image, it is just black for most of the night.

But that wouldn't explain your other cameras.

Thanks, yes that does happen, was surprised to see this happen when using my Zero-Turn too. But the NoSignal happens on the Visual too plus the test camera I added, the one labeled LivingRmCAM, it is a spare ReoLink Doorbell CAM.

My plan, when I get time, will be to put BI on another PC I have, a few generations newer, also go to version 6 then. Been living with these NoSignals for a few months now. Sadly, they do also stop the BI recording during it's NoSignal duration. The reason I think it is a BI issue because I get Zero ping loss when doing a continuous pinging to the cameras. But this just test the network connections which are good. This is why I put a test cam on BI, it does the same NoSignal loss.

BUT, if it is BI, why is my WiFi Doorbell not experiencing No Signal losses?

Here is where I think I went wrong in my testing. My ping testing to the cameras were from my main PC and not the BI PC. I just started a ping test. Also I need to ping my BI PC from my main and see if there is any loss there...

Just reset BI log and started a continuous ping...

Well so far 4 NoSignal losses and Zero losses in the continuous pinging to the cameras IP from the BI PC...
